Hi all, i plan to convert to Astro Beyond soon. i really like watching movei in HD.

But after reading this, abit worried, pay for 4 good channel but have to sacrifice the picture quality for the rest of other channel. (Wah Lai Toi, MTV etc etc)

For my old non astro beyond decoder, i found out that S cable give the best PQ.

Would like to check again, since the new decoder use HDMI to give the best PQ for HD channel, will it affect the normal non HD channel PQ, at least on par with the S-cable quality?

thanks in advance for clarification.

I did not use a very expensive S-video cable, so for me the PQ for other SD channels seems to be the same

BTW, sad news is, I only managed to watch my astro for 2 hours after the B.yond installation... After a heavy rain now totally cannot receive signal, and need to wait the technician to come and resolve this issue.

Well i juz called astro cs juz now..

this cs guy said that...

Q: I want to semak status of my application with acc number 08xxxxxx-x

A: Telemarketing call you at 28th Dec... So, you will get notifications about installer on the 10th day!!  vmad.gif  vmad.gif  vmad.gif  9th or 10th Jan... You have been enlisted in a WAITING LIST!!

Well, 10 days of waiting for installer actually, not within 10 days!!  vmad.gif

Wonder y other ppl get their b.yond so fast not less than a week from register,,,  rclxub.gif

In Astro B.yond, FIRST LUCK FIRST SERVE actually..

Maybe they have problems transporting the b.yond sets to Malaysian Borneo via a shipliner... I mean acroos the south china sea.. The delivery will be fast if they used MAScargo...  shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

At least U get the call from astro. I called them so many time but still no astro people call. Say within 24 hour. But now more than how many 24 hour already. After get astro call, another 10 day waiting I think.

For my case, they called me after 3 days to confirm the t&c... they say need to take about 10 to 14 working days to install.

More or less the same on SD channels. Hard to tell. But the stereo sound is definitely better.
Wait until they have better ways of utilizing the overscan video output (thru HDMI) and smarter ways to stretch the 4:3 source.
