Har? If astro does allow that option, I'd rather not select it.... because there goes all the progressive frames if you choose 1080i60 since it will definitely be interpolated... and the fact that we are in PAL region.... videos that are PAL native which could be progressive frames extractable be ruined by the interpolation....

The whole point of HDMI (1.1) is that it has HDCP (copy protection), hence the component output is SD only. If Astro were to "allow" copying via HDMI then most HD channels would have to be taken down as the content owners insist that HDCP is present.

Most movie channels also insist that Macrovision is used, even though we know it is useless. Should HDMI with HDCP become compromised the content owners will still insist it is there just to make it either difficult or expensive to copy their valuable HD content.

I think you can start to write complain letter to Astro to complain the Installer cause if you got decoder their there must be a dish accompany with it. The dish is slight difference from previous one.

There is impossible out of stock.

I'm in the same boat as you do. Using old dish instead of new ones. Maybe I'll be more demanding once signal starts to degrade. For now I can still watch HD.

Having used Sky, DirectTV, FoxTel and many other decoders, NONE of them switch the output to the TV. In ALL cases the decoder is set to one resolution and the chips in the box do the conversion.

One of the biggest criticisms of Digital TV in the early days was channel surf times, the delay between switching channels. If the TV switched modes then this would be worse! Hence the fixed mode output.
Typically, channel surf times become less of an issue as people start using the EPG to find programs, rather than channel surf. Now that Astro B.yond has a decent EPG we should stop being a nation of surfers and become searchers!

It is means astro also can be infected with this delay problem if a lot of people surf the channel?
Until now I dont have any problem when surfing channel.

Does LG 32LH20R supports HDCP???

I need to buy an LCD TV (if can) before the installer comes....

I cannot afford to regret if the tv cannot display encrypted HD content...
