QUOTE(azrin_kiko @ Jan 12 2010, 12:47 PM) Ceiling functions. If certain channels are unavailable, decoder will change the channel to the nearest to the number. Oh right,eg. you input 100, automatically go to 101  yeah would be nice to have that back. |

First thing to do is check that A/V sync of the Home Theather is not affecting the lip sync Check that you are getting this issue on all channels. If it is only on one channel then someone has fallen asleep at astro and it is a broadcast issue. I'm set at about 80mss |

QUOTE(azrin_kiko @ Jan 12 2010, 09:11 AM) My Review about Astro B.yond (UPDATE) bro, how do u change the satelite input? 1. I used Panasonic SDTV. 2. The TV can be programmed to the remote using option 2 (refer to installation manual). 3. Smart Card from other decoder can be inserted into the B.yond decoder (no HD channels). 4. Component cable works perfectly on SD channels and gives maximum picture quality that my TV can display (HD settings: 576p). 5. Changed satellite to #18 MEASAT-3A and gives 220-222 signal strength with 100% quality. 6. HD Channels via SDTV with component cable connection shows sharp picture that SDTV can get (no distortion). Yet to be done: 1. Test SD channels via HDMI. Suggestions: 1. Remove limitations on how many favourite channels should be set (like the old days). 2. Surf to favourite channels ch+ and ch- when enabled (like the old days). 3. Ceiling functions (like the old days). rgds |

Anybody tried opening their Byond box dy? I'm planning to do that later, and will slowly try to pry the warranty sticker so that it will be intact. U all know that the casing is the slide in type right? If you take off the screws, then just slide the casing to the back to open. Well, my box, on the top part, they did not slide it in properly. So it's bulging. How can that escape QC at their manufacturing plant?

When box is set as DD 5.1. HD Channels with DD audio, the TV won't be able to decode the audio signal sent to it by the box. hence the avr will decode and output the sound.and also not in 'discreet' 5.1 (not as DVD) i.e HBO HD, you guys have such problem? Can you describe more on what do you mean by discrete? b.yond box sends out 6 channels dolby digital encoded audio hence it's discrete enough i think. Thanks! Shaik |
