Astro thread becoming a live weather reporting liao

Yes. Depent on programs. Their low freq very 'strong'. i normally lower my cross over freq to 50, sounds much better.

hahaa..ya loo

Pana plasma 50" HD Ready- now price around RM4K plus only! Very nice for HD & SD (HDMI)

Wow 50. Went low, but didn't realise that it was going to be that low lol. Thank you very much, will go try it out again later Cheers!

Ok, I have a few questions. If I'm using HDMI, sometimes the TV will fail to show picture/sound. If switch to composite, okay. Had to switch off mains and switch back on. I think few users here also have that problem. Is it a problem with the decoder?

Another question: Can implement feature to allow HTPC owners to integrate their HTPC with the b.yond? I'm having a hard time because I have a Dell 24" Full HD (biggest screen in my room) + 5.1 kit setup on my HTPC but there's apparently no way to take full potential of the setup. BlackMagic Intensity Pro doesn't support HDCP and AVerMedia HD DVR supports HDCP but cannot support 50Hz mode b.yond box output.

No guarantee. You sure 831 base on 811? I dun have sports package, but see the EPG guide different only?

Do you have a Blu-Ray player or plan to get one? If you plan to use/Have BD as well get Full HD set will get slightly better picture from BD movies that have 1080p encoding. If size matters instead, 50" will be okay.

I don't think you can get the 42 inch S series anymore. If you are able to get a unit, it is definitely older stock and you can consider yourself quite lucky as it sells very well I was told This is not in production according to Panasonic. The next closest for 42 inch is the G series for full HD I believe.

not exactly but sometime.example when la liga match,811 have..831 have.
who owned byond,can enjoy la liga match in hd.not owned byond..811
just my predict..

some say end this january 2010 so,lets pray about that
who now the reason is out..if any

I would say it's the HDCP thing, connections must be establish from the start... so switch on the TV/monitor before the decoder..... also had to switch decoder off and on (with a Dell U2410).... I have 3 other screen (and TV) to test.

but y the league cup semifinal match man city vs man u did not telecast in channel 831?

Probably because BPL broadcasting rights is owned by ESPN with sponsorship from Maxis/MyEG.

Go for Full HD will be better. Byond native resolution is 1080i, it's more sharper than 720p. Then you'll get full potential of byond.

HD Ready = 720p/1080i. Full HD=1080p. HD Ready more than enough if you're only going to use for b.yond. But if you're going to also use PS3/XBox360/HTPC/Blu-Ray player/HD Media player, 1080P is a better investment.

for VIERA TH-P50X10K,
Moving Picture Resolution = 720 lines
Number of Pixels 1,049,088 (1,366 x 768) pixels

HD Ready means it accept Full HD signal, but wil display in 'Screen Resolution'
In this case, it will downscale 1080 to 720

nah.. only 1st leg man..

HDMI:
Not a box issue, check your connections.
HTCP:
So you want to record an un encrypted HD signal do ya?

I'm waiting for that too..
