Oh, that is not component cable. That is err, I know it as a PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3 default cable. It's low quality coz the yellow cable carries all the visual signals while the red and white cable carries right and left sound respectively (stereo).

Component cable is capable of displaying visuals up to 1080i while the 'default PS2/PS3' cable can only do 480i/p and/or 560i/p? Kinda.. But the point is component is better. Way better. (But of course no match to HDMI) And yes, the colors of component cable is Red, Green and Blue which means it carry the signals of the cable color (Red cable carry red color signal only, Blue etc etc) which means it is much more specific rather than the 'default PS2/PS3' yellow cable that does all the visuals. Sound must be brought only with that red and white cables (which means you will get a stereo sound output) or use the digital outwadljfagrihna oh whatever the name is if you want 5.1 channel surround sound (I can't use 'em coz my sound system only accept red n white input..  sad.gif

Hope u get what I mean.

I'm looking forward to A*s-throw byond. (reminds me of PS3 ads, PLAY B3YOND)

I will try and see what my SD channels PQ looks like
I know what to do now if its not up to standards brows.gif

Actually dun need so difficult. Standard yellow-red-white cable also can use for component. Just plug yellow into green, red to red and white to blue. Then use another just red and white cable for audio. The color coding is just for convenience. Copper cable is copper cable.

okey.. I sure would have messed up the colours if u did not tell me
thanks..will try to do it..
btw, anyone can give me the standard price 4 a good component cable?
I was told less than RM100..but how much?
and are there any brands I should go for?

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

i have read somewhere that SD and HD deals between astro and the broadcasters are not the same..
thats why not all of the programming on 811 is available in HD such as Carling Cup and WWE Rwa HD
But EPL is almost confirmed to be available in HD but probably not all the matches. Depends on what match the broadcasters in the UK are showinG in HD. Usually the games at 845pm n 130 am on Saturdays are in HD and all the matches on Sunday and Monday and midweek.
Dont forget Champions League is also coming. So depends on SkySports and ESPN UK matches.

My story just wanna share 4 fun here:

13/01 - Call Astro to order Byond
14/01 - Get T&C call from Astro
15/01 - Get another T&C call from Astro (Giving great service to woo me!)
16/01 - Installer call and came. But cannot install. Got printing error on his form regarding the Smartcard number. He can't deal with it then since it was Saturday and office close. Fine..I understand.
19/01 - Call installer. He said printing error still being fixed
20/01 - Call CS to ask the status
21/01 - CS call ask my Smartcard number. They will call Byond department and ask the status.

I just want to share my experience. Not complaining not condemning. I know Astro said in 10 working days to get install. I know they say 1st come 1st serve service.

The thing is..I almost got Byond in 3days. But they need more than 3days to fix printing error. Thats the only problem 4 me. Still, I will wait and see. Keep a smile on my face biggrin.gif

ESPN HD:

Astro have said before this ESPN HD will be available in January 2010
We thoughit would be 1st January 2010. We were wrong..
Now the general belief is that the launch date would be the end of January 2010..30 or 31st
Now I dont know if this has anything to do with the launch but

ARSENAL Vs MANCHESTER UNITED
31st January 2010

This is on SkySports HD in the UK and on normal ESPN here
So maybe Astro want to make big impact for the ESPN HD launch

Does anybody know when ESPNEWS ASIA will launch on Astro?

all have been stated rm20 and start from june if not mistaken...y this rm30 issue occured?
*
The RM30 issue started when one guy mistakenly said it was RM30
The correct price is RM20 is added onto ur current monthly bill starting APRIL 2010..

About the RM10 stamp duty issue, if Im not mistaken it only applies to new Astro subscribers.
For instance, a person has never had Astro before then want to install, then they will be charged extra RM10 for stamp duty
If the person wants to upgrade to Byond then RM10+RM20 for the April bill only..
May bill will only add RM20 only
So maybe, the person who mistakenly said RM30 is a new Astro customer

I am not charged the extra RM10 for Byond installation
But at the same time I have also ordered 2nd normal Astro decoder..so still I had to pay the RM10 for the new 2nd decoder

Hope I helped out n not make things more complicated icon_rolleyes.gif
