Ehhh Actually at 1st, I installed using cheapo AV-RF converter & as u said worst than ever PQ. but a day later, I changed to a better AV-RF converter (Get those >RM30)...Suprisingly the PQ is not as bad & actually better than just direct RF.. rclxms.gif Well not sure about it bcos previously my 2nd TV was CRT, now it's LCD dy blush.gif

Since we pay RM20 monthly just for the HD, what the point that faithfull customer like us since 1999 need this work-around eqmt. why so messy, having those uncessary supporting device around the decoder and display device,  perhaps their 2nd decoder programme didn't got well respond, therefore the RF is not included in this new Byond decoder. I'm abit regret now, as I expect much handy/smarter decoder earlier.

Using AV-RF converter expect worst pic quality.  doh.gif

Composite is ok, as long u turn off the 3D-Com option in your TV menu setting. Component out is still faulty so far. Another thing is those whose currently connect Astro to other display set in others room or hall via RF out, pls think twice b4 you register Byond packages, bcos it wont works with this Byond decoder.


Added on January 6, 2010, 1:54 pm
just tested at 1:50pm lah, component out still don't work.  top 1/2 section screen picture distorted.  my byond s/w just updated this morning at 12:20 am and running with system version Dec 23 2009.

hi,,, what is 3D-Com option? I'm not sure where to turn it off... using a panny here

But I'm still having the same problem because the newer decoder box also is giving the same problem...after update, it becomes distorted.... lol

note: i didnt change my decoder box, because since the new decoder also give the same prob after updating, the service fella suspect is the software causing the problem already...



Apparently.... the only version working is when the box is in mint condition, that is no software update at all... before 17 oct and 23rd dec software update...

Applied online 19-12
Called them 23-12
T&C 24-12
Installer called 4-1, 6-1 installed (Bukit Jalil)

Signal strength quite bad at 155. Anybody have lower then this?
He also checked signal strength before installation of new dish with the old dish and it was also around 150.
Installer says the concealed wiring is too long (3 storey house) and signal can only be improved by moving dish down.

But still looks great on TV and I love the 5.1 rclxms.gif

Will wait to see premier league before making decision. smile.gif

Mine at CH 1 is 195 - 198, CH 18 is 222, but the default (with tick) is set at CH1, anyone how to move the tick to the other channel (eg. move from CH1 to CH 18) ?

Connected two set of AV cables to LCD TV

a) HDMI cable from B.yond to HDMI input at LCD
b) Component cable from B.yond to LCD

Tested both HDMI and component, IMO, watching SD with HDMI is on par or slight better than component, will keep component as option.

both your new and old decoders will be able to tune to SD channels simultaneously
however when your HD decoder is tuning to HD channel, it selected higher frequency range in LNB, old decoder also forced to receive higher frequency, but there is no SD channels in these higher frequency.
*
Thanks neb, problem solve ! rclxms.gif
It is true that LNB will be in high frequency when HD channel is selected, in fact, the LNB will be in high frequency even when the HD decoder is in standby mode !
So, whenever I want to switch to old decoder, I will tune to SD channel in HD decoder.
Now I don't have to plug and unplug the connection anymore. icon_rolleyes.gif
