Depend on monitor. Most should show something like "Resolution not supported" if no support.

Actually, I think the SD channel is perpetually downscaled to 576i regardless of HD setting. For HDMI signal, picture will automatically upscale to selected resolution dispite native image res. Will let you know for sure once I get my HTPC setup up and running.

hahaha... i even prefer listening LEEDS beat MU in my uncle's old radio than watching LA LIGA in HD.. hahaha go LEEDS... but please give way to SPURS ok? hehehe

Just need to set once... Then plug component input and hdmi input to tv.... when watch SD, switch AV to component, when watch HD switch AV to HDMI.... 2 buttons overall, byond page up down and tv's av button lol

it could be better if astro can replay the MU game in HD..hahaha

yes, This is what i did. Component out signal is distorted at top half screen and composite picture shaking. but HDMI is very good. I used the pana plasma pv80h model (HD ready)

Holy shit...u got the same problem as mine.... top half screen of component got those distorted lines and composite shaking... i thought it was my cable prob....now since you have received the same problem as mine....i can conclude is that lemon decoder... anyway ive called astro...they are assigning a technician for me...

could this due to simultaneous output effect?
can try just component only (and set 576i if necessary) to see any distortion?

then, somebody should try this and make review here...full report..hahah

nope tested it already.. time to wrap up this lemon decoder

imagine if this is common faulty for all byond component output then astro may face big issue as having a problematic decorder

I've have made report on thursday and the technician came to house on saturday with another new byond decoder, he can't solve that problem after swapping the decoder and cable, initially he claimed my component cable or TV input faulty, but after I shown him the DVD-Plasma connection via component cable and finally he admitted it's byond decoder problem. he called his manager so that his manager can give me a good explaination, well this rosak manager said the byond was design to make for HDMI work only and they have not tested the component out and he will report this to astro technical department.

i just went to CS and signed the beyond! The advisor told me i can keep my old decoder for RM80, should i keep it and pay RM80 or just ask him to take back?

lol IF every byond decorder is having same problem and every byond user is complained to astro then will be very fun

MASS RECALL weeeeeeeee but this probably wont happen in BOLEH land i guess..

just give them la...no use la to keep n pay rm80

well this decoder has already some bugs discovered and warned by our fellow byond users (i just used for a day and i've already stumbled upon most problem mentioned... =__=), among those i've came across :

1. when switching channels, suddenly would land on no pic but got sound prob..... but could be solved by switching to other channels and switch back to the desired channel.
2. when switching on decoder, have to press the on button quickly, not slowly... or else the decoder would turn off and on quickly and results in no picture/sound on every channel... the remote is too sensitive i would say
3. when u switch to any channel, and then press the subtitle/language button and press ok, the volume suddenly increases and becomes louder lol.
4. volume on astro remote only works when used in analog output.. else u would need to sync with the tv to adjust tv's volume from astro's remote if ure using hdmi
5. if u usually switch off the main power of the decoder(esp when ure going to bed at night), once turned on, need to wait quite a while before the decoder shows the time, then only can on

6. distorted component and composite output [this one really ticks me off]
