Does LG 32LH20R supports HDCP???
I need to buy an LCD TV (if can) before the installer comes.... I cannot afford to regret if the tv cannot display encrypted HD content... |

QUOTE(writesimply @ Jan 2 2010, 10:03 PM) Unless you're rich, don't rush in to buy a HDTV. Otherwise you'd have buyer's regret. Yes, i have already make a choice..B.yond will be in HD regardless if your TV is not. So look around for a HDTV that you can afford with a picture quality you like with a design you like, then see if has HDCP as well as 2/3 HDMI inputs. If you have the red/white stereo cables, use that. It should work. fuad |

Imagine hard-subbing a HD programme...
Sure takes longer. Except they have subtitle file for each programme. Compare this... History, Ci and Bio Asia is join venture between astro aan and a&e... So, soft-subs is available to these 3 channels and no 2-5 minutes of delay not like other international channels like HBO, Discovery etc.... Juz like any other astro channels... So we can hope for history HD to have subtitle... Others? Don't know yet... Zee TV's subtitle is the worst in Astro... Malay subtitle wrong grammar all round... and the font is making my eyes sore...

So, you will get notifications about installer on the 10th day!!  9th or 10th Jan... You have been enlisted in a WAITING LIST!!Well, 10 days of waiting for installer actually, not within 10 days!! Wonder y other ppl get their b.yond so fast not less than a week from register,,,  In Astro B.yond, FIRST LUCK FIRST SERVE actually.. Maybe they have problems transporting the b.yond sets to Malaysian Borneo via a shipliner... I mean acroos the south china sea.. The delivery will be fast if they used MAScargo...

Can't wait to get the beyond and give them a try, as i just got myself a brand new DENON AVR-4810 receiver, and would really like to try how's those stock HDMI cable compare with those audioquest and QED HDMI cables, i do believe there's differences between them. Just like you can reach JB from KL say 4 hrs driving your very own mercedes, driving kancil also 4 hrs. What's the difference? You know i know lo Well in earlier post... Even monster cable will give da same result as astro hdmi cable...Here in beaufort not even one have b.yond although many has applied .. sabah is put back in da list |

QUOTE(Blpy @ Jan 6 2010, 09:38 AM) Can astro byond work simultaneously with an old astro philips model? I heard that if you watch HD channel while the other decoder is on. The old decoder will not display any picx and sounds like when raining because HD transmission is in high frequency then the SD one,,, But it works again if b.yond is tuning to sd channelsSource B.yond v1.0 posts |

QUOTE(tks203 @ Jan 8 2010, 02:59 AM) Just installed Astro HD today. Problem with HDMI connection to Panasonic Plasma, cannot get picture when selecting 720P or 1080i. 576P does display picture but distorted. Check if your tv supports HDCP. if yes, check yr decoder or call an astro technician.. b.yond does not support HD output on ComponentThe same plasma connecting to PS3 and ACRyan Media player with HDMI without any problem. The installer can't offer any help. Anyone of you having such problem? Some of you posted to use Component Video for HD. I tried but it does not allow selecting "High Definition" in TV setting. Only "Standard Definition" is shown. Please help. Thanks |
