well mine is the other way round...cable used for 7-8 years already, but the installer said still ok to use and he said if theres prob i can call him to change cable foc....and yeah hes coming tmr... but because my cable is concealed...now im wondering where he should poke the hole in... =__=

extra:
the minimum signal level is 170 to get good pic quality... i've notice it when it was raining, the moment it touch 169...pic quality goes 20% (pixellated, breaking picture etc)

and when i told the installer, he was told it was 150...then he reconfirmed with me its 170...so those who get 185....the moment u get light rain, can be easily distorted....just like my case

i dont know about that, perhaps it was the cable problem... i have been using that cable for so long lol... or it could be the way they align the dish, not that right etc

wee the astro installer came and replace the cables, had to pay for the extra cable and connector, first 20m cables are free.... for #1 it went up from 185 to 200 and #18 went up from 195 to 222.... i guess this is good enough for my area =)

hello peeps,

anyone of u still having the component output distorted issue? i'm still having it and it really annoys the hell out of me.

If you guys havent know, you can boot the setup box to initiate auto update to happen by pressing the on/off, channel down, and channel up button one by one (front panel of the STB, not through remote) or to put it simple, press all 3 buttons from left to right one by one...the STB will off by itself, and boot while checking if there is a need to auto update.

During that period, it will display a banner saying "setting up STB", through component it looks fine, the moment it shows the tv guide banner with the video...the picture starts to get distorted... geez still a little annoyed with this problem.

Any idea how to solve this component output mess?

wow..then i think u should complain to astro to get you a decoder box with my problem instead of ures....watching without hdmi is a big big loss of picture detail....

Well...why didnt u opt for big parabola dish? many seen in sabah, then perhaps you can watch hd long ago =p

8. MTVN HD
9. Palladia
10. TVB Jade HD (direct simulcast from HK)

Added on January 10, 2010, 11:22 amI guess RTM is working on it, ever since the olympics hd broadcast in h264 via dvb-t. The only question is... when are they prepared to fully broadcast them :/


MHD actually stands for Music:High Definition

In US, MHD has rebranded themselves by changing their name to Palladia. They have started to include more live concerts which are shot in hd. Their most recent videos shown are really amazing but I'm not sure if they are upconverts, but usually their upconverts has those interlaced artifacts, their recent ones are very sharp without those artifacts, of course those recent music videos, not years ago...

Hey why u cut off my MTVN HD channel???

17/5 = 4 transponders needed lol... how many astro has again? lol

lol... this i have to agree... the setting were just real fake and the view out the windows were very fake.... it just look like some cheap setting...if u watch in sd, u cant notice this... they really need to improve in terms of this

you should call astro everyday and complain... thats what i did...then the fella got tired of me calling everyday and quickly sent me the installers number lol...

mention mcmc should help more either

Relax... looking at the current programmings on the hd channels, you will get bored of it after 1 day installed.

well... theres nothing for me to regret...the hd extension fees paid by my brother because he wants EPL/football in HD badly =P .... i just benefit from him by watching hbo hd and learning channels.

i have to say this nat geo hd programming is a bit boring compared to what their SD channel offers. Really hope they could add more interesting programs.


the only hope i wish to have is at least one music video channel in HD.... lol...bet i have to wait way longer for that

yes sir i notice that too, im also wondering what is that...maybe trying to indicate chinese subtitles available (for other countries)

banana here, dunno how to write it here =.="

ah ok... will do that... after i get fired by my supervisor tmr =__+
