yesterday saw the astro b.yond commercial in natgeo HD, pergh... mantap with all the graphic and sound...

wait till they add another hd channel....heard that they will add in short times but dunno it is true or not...

Just change the ODU from 60 to 65. Strange signal drop from 225 @ #1 for ODU60 to 217 @ #1 for ODU65. Whereas at #18, ODU60 is 255 whereas ODU65 is 241 to 247.

1 question: I can control my tv panasonic 42x18k using astro remote, however everytime I push tv power button on astro remote from standby mode, the tv goes to TV mode, not the last mode that is HDMI1. Does anyone having the same problem?

Most of here have this prob. Just check couples of previous page, u'll find discussion about it

Push the tv power button 2 times (fast)...

astro just call me for byond t&c.. and said that on the next bill, gonna charge rm10 for stamp duty.. u all also same?

razuryza i asked about any "additional" fees over the phone before the installers came and they did mention the RM10 charge. i had no protests.

just come back from work and then power on tv, ht, and astro.. surprisingly this time it directly go to HDMI1.. do not know y...

Never heard of 'stamp duty' when i been T&C's...

never got call from astro.. just register online... after 3 days, received sms from astro informing the installer name that will contact me for installation.. later that day, the installer call... now im beyonder..

If you don't pay stamp, will it render T&C void? Since government will not legally recognised as enforceable agreement, right? Then, astro will soon come to your home to collect back Astro B.yond lo.

i know that when we watch HD channel, 16:9 mode is the way to go.

how about when in SD mode? if you choose 16:9, i think all the things that you see will be "fatter" right?

thx

Good news. The astro installer just called me. He said around 9 or 10am, he should be there. Can't wait! And prepare to add me in the list. =)

maybe its due to the installer doesnt allign the dish as good as old dish

I choose 16:9 for all type of channel on my TV and in Astro B.yond decoder I set to stretch for SD channel. But I didn't noticed any bad image distortion due to my setup.

I do believe the installer didn't align the ODU 65 properly as for my case, the entry point # 1 signal improved from 185 to 222 after change from my old ODU 60 to ODU 65. I didn't ask the installer to change the ODU when he came 1st time as I know I gonna change the ODU again.

i use 16:9 for all channels. No, the images don't look fatter in my LG FULL HD LCD, but i know some other lcd tv brands have that fat problems...not on my LG!

YES! i have same problem, also Pana plasma.

Not Pana only..most of us have the same problem..my Philip also will change mode to TV mode when I turn it on using Astro remote.. Annoying
