didn't take that long to learn the necessary buttons - not more than 10 minutes and everything works fine

hassle of dealing with 2 remotes all the time > hassle of programming the Harmony once

ah, ok thanks.

my signal is ok for now.

If any Astro staff is lurking on here, please send me a PM I need to speak to someone about a special case.

how come DiscoveryHD is not on the services list?

dang... gorgeous Ice Road trucker

EPG = Electronic Programme Guide

2. there was nothing to set up. After the installer hooked up everything and left I waited about 20 minutes for the card activation and voila! that's it.

You only need to set up a bit if you have a surround system and want digital audio thru the receiver - whether your receiver has HDMI or only coax, etc etc.

3. setting up specific channels is not Astro's job - they only buy those channels from the clubs themselves (i.e LFC TV, Barca TV, Arsenal TV, Chelsea TV and Manutd TV)

4. I think the red button for match selection was already available on SKY even without HD, so it's got nothing to do with ESPN HD or Astro Byond. Perhaps if Astro decided to they can introduce the same interactive platform...

now 1. if you are excited about EPL in HD, how can you think it's not worth it?

in case you have not noticed, people add themselves to the list.

La Liga is live on Supersports HD but it was better watching Leeds beat Man U at OT

have you ever posted a less than complimentary comment about Astro on this forum? like calling them ASSthrow or something...

as someone said in the other thread, this shot says it all

you have to tell them you are using two decoders, and they will give you a LNB with 2 output jacks

1080i (not sports) and 720p (sports)

don't you plan on having other sources (like Blu-ray)?

you need a decoder to listen to Dolby Digital from the byond set. this is usually found in AV receivers and/or Home Theater processors

if you don't want to buy a AVR select stereo audio and use the TV "True Surround"

there won't be, all subtitles are in SD and not compatible with HD

3. DD5.1 (Dolby Digital 5.1 channel)

connect coaxial output to AV receiver.

5. Channel that B.yond offer
HBO HD
History HD
Discovery HD NatGeo HD
Astro Supersport HD
ESPN HD (coming-till end of January)


Hopefully some day soon Discovery HD will be available

you need to have good imagination for this.

I think only a few sets out of those thousands installed have problems. could be perfectly normal fail rate
