They didn't get con, they just didn't know any better.

It has already been said that right now only 5 channels are available in HD (HBO HD, Natgeo HD, History HD, Supersport HD, and coming soon ESPN HD), and that is if you have movie/documentary/sports package.

People need to learn to read the FAQ before getting Byond.

Astro is being difficult. So do this. Cancel B.yond and get the second decoder installed. Then within 1 minute of activation, call Astro IN FRONT OF THE INSTALLER and ask for B.yond. I'm sure the installer will feel the love.

What's the resolution setting on your PS3? If it's 720p or 1080i, then what you could do is swap the PS3's HDMI cable to B.yond - DO NOT CHANGE THE HDMI INPUT on the TV. See if that works. If it works at 720p/1080i, no problem. If it doesn't work, that means the HDMI port on B.yond is faulty OR the HD output hasn't been enabled yet; if it's the latter, you need to call Astro CS to enable HDMI output.

Funny, I believe most of the B.yond box already updated to software dated 23-Dec-09. How came yours still Oct 09

You can check the HDMI port is enable or not in the software version page.

i havent tried using the 9-9-1 method, i cant off the tv using the (tv)power button at the beyond's remote.
will test again after work later.

U guys are using setting 720p or 1080i? i dun see any difference...but i heard 720p is better than 1080i

Another Survey in the Making: 720p or 1080i?

for me: 720p.

I feel pictures not so jumpy. I felt a bit dizzy watching 1080i esp football. Maybe its my tv. do not have 100hz or true motion or those gimmicks.

what you all think?

I think 720p can produce better framerates so maybe that is why it feels less jumpy?

No, they're right. As long as your parents dun have Learning, Movies or Sports package they won't get any HD. Although, I thoght Astro currently giving free trials for all HD subscribers? Call Astro and ask. I'm only subscribed to Learning package, but I can also get HBO HD and ASSP HD, and according to installer Astro will only cut off those packages when they start charging in April.

My TV max 1080i, but will downscale the signal to 1366x768. For now tho, I'm not using HD. But the fact that at least the aspect ratio of the HD channels is correct and matches my TV screen is good enough for me.

i feel that the 1080i needs to be de-interlaced, and the process creates the 'jumpiness'.

expert opinions??

Ehhh you all really hv sharp eye...Me no see jumping-jumping & anything wrong using 1080 output..BTW, my panny P42X10K not a FullHD sumore..

my tv...if put 1080i, sometimes got lines almost half of the screen...dun know y.....then if put 720p, this problem solve(i think so la)....y is that eh?mostly when watch fast moving action movies

its not because of my sharp eyes. you are using Plasma, I'm using LCD. yours is better at moving images. LCD not so good. prefers progressive scan.

ok ok, need to modify survey

720p or 1080i on LCD or Plasma.

need to open new thread ar?

for the past 1 week, I've set 1080i default but I've just reset it to 576p now. I feel the picture is good on those SD programme with this setting and switch to 1080i whenever I watch HD programme.

I have looked in to this and the Lyngsat site is showing the C-Band contribution feeds, not the Ku-Band Astro feeds.

The C-Band feeds are used to supply content to other broadcasters in Asia. It looks like Measat's C-Band transponders are a mix of HD and SD.

Astros Ku-Band transmissions are listed only partially as "Astro".

This is what is confusing us!

What I was trying to point out earlier...

This thread is getting cold now.

they r 70++ la ....... how u expect them read everything, the CS at least tell them do they need it or not mah ....

Guys, how does the PQ of non-HD channels look like with the new decoder?

Better? Worse? or Same?
