Wah Lai Toi for drama seems nicer. Almost Dvd quality, anyone agree? Thanks.

First, buy a rm50 s-video cable and second, change to plasma TV if you re not on one yet, and I'm sure she will be impressed Composite video on an LCD TV will give the worst performance of SD astro.

I wonder if b.yond has red button feature

im not dare to put it in the first page due to the picture publication resposible..sorry..picture attach are in their own responsibility..sorry..thanks

tq for those suggestion. I already into the LCD TV. My samsung series 5 do not have any s-video input. Anyway if she can bare with composite, hope
that with HDMI the PQ for SD channel will be no less than composite set up n great if it can be better.

Same here. Hard to tell. May be s-video (old decoder)slightly better. But depends on channel. Indian channels (like zee etc) looks ok.
But they promise it'll be better with mpeg4!

always used this feature for channel 106

Tried to connect the component input simultaneously for SD channels - doesn't look that good. Via HDMI slightly better to my eyes. Furthermore I think there's a bit of flickering and there's a faint blue line appears in the middle of the screen.

Using Pana 42 - TH-42PS10K.

I can switch to and fro (flipping between TV input). Sound goes out via composite.

All function looks fine accept the PQ reported above.

I think I'll make do with the SD PQ via HDMI.

I've checked my pana, it has ability to turn off overscan - should I do this? Is it a good idea? why? - so that it's exact 1 to 1 mapping of pixel?

after one week then the astro on demand some channel cant watch...like 901 until 908 can watch..921,922,923 cant watch then 924 till 930 can watch...wats the problem...

Hi, I managed to solved the composite - picture shaking problem, just goto the TV-picture menu setting (for pana plasma/LCD TV) , turn "off" the 3D-Com option and set P-NR to weak or middle. but my component 1/2 top section picture distorted problem still remain unsolve .

anyone using SAMSUNG SERIES 4 Plasma TV PS42B430?
can anyone tell me what i should do with the audio or picture settings when i get my b.yond?

Anyone from kota kinabalu, sabah got the beyond? Wonder how long do the installer need to come n setup for me. Can't wait to get the beyond and give them a try, as i just got myself a brand new DENON AVR-4810 receiver, and would really like to try how's those stock HDMI cable compare with those audioquest and QED HDMI cables, i do believe there's differences between them. Just like you can reach JB from KL say 4 hrs driving your very own mercedes, driving kancil also 4 hrs. What's the difference? You know i know lo

thats because the component output is distorted.... like mine =___=... another decoder defect issue here, damn

4 issues i want to know before getting B.Yond:

1. Is SD PQ on B.Yond better or worse compared with the old Astro decoder?

2. In V1.0 a lot of people complained about the volume difference between SD and HD channels. Is the problem still there or has it been fixed or do we need to fix it ourselves?

3. What should I set up once I get the B.Yond box? After the installer leaves, what should I do to get the best PQ and sound quality? I'm using SAMSUNG SERIES 4 Plasma TV PS42B430.

4. Can use old cable from dish to decoder or does the installer replace the old cable with a new one?

Please guys. Help me. Thank you

What overscan does is zoom into the picture by about 3-5%. The internal video scaler will compensate by filling up the gaps. But just like zooming in a photo, it degrades it a bit.

For me, I would turn off overscan primarily because I have movies in 1.85:1 aspect ratio in my collection. I want to see the whole picture and not a zoomed in one.

Bad analogy. Four people can be in that JB-KL trip and each of them will experience things differently; the smell, the sights, the jokes and the silence. Just ask each of them what do they get out of the trip and each will tell things differently.

Digital data is not like that. You can spend money on those expensive HDMI cables but at the end, they'll still deliver the same digital data than RM22 HDMI cable from Carrefour can give.
