HD decoder has HDMI/component/composite video out, so you can actually connect 3 displays simultaneously

was wondering non of the forumer using parellel connection and now subscribed to byond... curious!

rf modulator would be a possible easy route, only need a single rg6 coaxial cable to carry both video and audio signal to remote TV, other method is wireless av sender, no wire involved

there is already a thread discussing this topic, go over there and have a look around

bro... possible to use back the current coaxial cable (from the current decoder @ living hall)

do you mean you have unused coaxial RG-6 cable from old astro decoder? Not sure what you mean.

but what you need to do is like this :
astro RCA composite video out + audio out --> rf modulator --> rg-6 coaxial cable --> remote tv antenna in

Granada TV is actually replacing BBC Entertainment...

guys... i cant seem to get to use the fav button

i like the remote compared to my old one...can off my tv

Damn version 2. Can't reply to this post directly. But he's right (I assume the poster is a he). So far these are the channels on Measat 3a: All Sports Network, Astro Aruna, Astro RIA, Baby TV, Food Network HD, Ginx TV, Jim Jam, Life Inspired HD, Sundance Channel Asia HD, Unitel Classica Asia, Voom HD Networks and Women's Entertainment HD. Aruna and Ria on Measat 3a seem like duplicate channels to test the satellite's capabilities. The rest seems like they are merely being downlinked to the rest of the world. Info on Measat 3a. In case you are wondering, Measat-3a is named as such to avoid the dreaded 4.

The bulk of the channels are on Measat 3 including AXN Korea HD, National Geographic Channel HD Asia, History HD Asia, Nat Geo Wild Asia HD. If you want ALL of these HD channels, you need to obtaine a GlobeCast decoder.

So if using the old dish with B.yond means you can receive the HD channels, it has wide implications.
1) When Measat 3 is retired, those who are using the old dish with B.yond is screwed since the new wider dish can receive more signal. (Call Astro and get yours changed now!) The bigger dish reduces rain fade that affects the KU band. Migrating off Measat 3 means that C-band transmission will cease as Measat3a is KU band only.
2) HD on B.yond can easily expand to include the Measat 3a transponders as well as the current HD transponders on Measat 3.

Depends on how much you think RM20 can buy these days lol

Not true. The majority of HDTVs out there has overscan that CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. The exception that I know of so far is HDTVs by Panasonic.

You won't know this unless you have movies that are in 1.85 aspect ratio, either DVD or BD. Play them and if you see small black bars (not big black bars) on the top and bottom of the screen, then you know our HDTV does not have any overscan.

Those garbage are data useless for everyone except broadcasters. However, the TV standards are such that you are not supposed to see the data on ANY TV. HOWEVER, most CRT manufactures go beyond that which meant that you're seeing even LESS of the actual signal.

If you're in the market for a BD HTiB, see if you like the sound coming from the Philips HTS7540. It has coax and Toslink in; you can use Toslink with a PS3.

Thanks bro, appreciate it, ill check out this Philips HTiB model since it has coax & toslink in : )

Samsung LCD TVs have non-overscan mode also (and for some years already), just need to use the aspect ratio button to set to Just Scan, and this mode will only work at 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions. I have a HTPC outputting 1080p via HDMI, can see exactly 1920x1080 on my Samsung TV without any cropping of the Windows desktop edges, pixel perfect mapping.

Btw, are there movies in 1.85 AR? I think not many, most movies are in 2.35:1 AR, that will always result in two huge black horizontal bars. Popular shows (and some made for TV movies) recorded off HDTV broadcasts are all 1.77 (16:9) AR. But I believe I could have seen movies with thin black bars on top and bottom of the screen, just can't remember which one.
