yes... astro byond can be connected to CRT TV also...
but all the HD channel will become letterbox... the picture also was so..so only because you're not in HD mode...
I have tried yesterday with my old 29" inch CRT...
Connected using composite... not component since my CRT does not have component...

im doin this coz cannot afford the HDTV yet...but fear the price of byond will rise up...
futhermore i love the new features included such as new layout...
btw guys...our current package remain accessible rite ??? just with new layout...correct me !!

Well, the new episodes are in HD, plus there's a lot more HD shows on Discovery HD apart from Mythbusters.
Agreed. Also, the practical length for a good quality HDMI cable is 15m. Not sure if HDMI repeaters exist.
For sure one of the function is recording to USB hard disk. Manuals already state that as a future feature. I wish they will put in a streaming server into the decoder so can use the network port to relay to media extender boxes and PCs.  That will solve the problem for people needing alot of cables running around.
How you get Discovery HD? I want!

Actually, the current package is ASSP HD, HBO HD, Nat Geo HD and History HD. ESPN HD coming soon.

owh sorry...not Discovery HD...NatGeo HD...my mistake notworthy.gif
