the new remote got an info button why don't you use it?

info only for that chanel, if u want to check other chanel info must press right or left, if u press chanel number the curent chanel will change to chanel that we press,I want to see chanel info by not changing my current view chanel, if u understand what im saying, i dont know how to describe..

The new info button just display current channel. If u want to see other channel by pressing OK, u need to scroll left/right, not but pressing channel # (just like old info function). Furthermore, it will disappear after 5s.

yep i agreed! i miss the old info button function...it's more user friendly than the new one...hope the next firmware upgrade will change this function..

I have just installed astro beyond, when i change my tv to HDMI mode the sound doesn't come out. My LCD TV is Philips. Can anyone advise me on this.

yep, add me to the 'info button' rant list ...

didnt u check everything before the installer leaves? it took more than 1 hour for my unit to 'detect HDMI ON', and i didnt let the installer leave until it does so

Check your decoder sound out setting. It should be stereo mode for the digital out as the TV doesn't decode DD.

Hmm. My decoder jammed and went into standby by itself a few times for the last two days. Called CS and after this an installer will come to check. Will update how it goes.

anyone knows how to reboot the decoder besides powering off the decoder? Thanks.

Hmm.. interesting.. Well I seriously hope they will add more HD channels ASAP... Coz right now I'm split between subscribing or not to.. Oh, by the way, earlier this morning I called their CS to ask about the RM20 service charge. She explained that the price will remain the same no matter how many channels have become HD.. The RM20 is like a HD-enabler to me.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what she told me.

i thought of something interesting

555(History) +20 ->575 (History HD)
553(Natgeo) +20- -> 573 (Natgeo HD)
811(ASSP) +20 -> 831 (ASSP HD)

that's y rm20 increase?

you missed out HBO & ESPN

411(HBO) + 20 --> 431 (HBO HD)

812(ESPN) + 20 --> 832 (ESPN HD) [coming soon]


ahahaha

HDCP protection on HDMI prevents it. However HDMI can go pretty far 15 m (or more) get a hdmi switch....

HDCP?u mean i can't split hdmi from a decoder to 2 lcds?

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection ..... A handshake of source and display is required.. 1 source and 2 displays, not possible.

unless HDCP is not enabled on A B.yond

u also can use a HDCP stripper to by-pass the protection.

I have already tried that and it does't work.
