Is it true? how many of you guys experience the same?

I apply byond thru online yesterday, today cs call me for t&c. She said they will install all unit (dish, cable, dmt & remote) but i must return old set. If i want to keep old set, they will charge RM80 for each items. that's mean, DMT-RM80, dish-RM80, smart cad-RM80
I said i want to keep dmt only for my mom's house (still use sluggish old nokia dmt ). She said better i change my dmt with my mom & return my mom's dmt to them, so i wont need to pay anything.
Could i do that?

r u sure? what lcd/plasma tv that u hv?
mine is sony 32V550A & component input can support hd format up to 1080p.

check this 1080p over component video standard proposed to the CEA

Astro also can change the centralised dish. Just urge your building management to change the dish.

IVR = interactive voice respons, automated voice answering machine (press 1 to bla bla bla, pres 2 to ..., something like that)

interesting question. before i bought my lcd tv, i read quite a few review that motion plus thingy is not really useful. they suggest better to turn off this features. nearly rm1k different for motion plus thing features
is it really usefull when watching football games in HD? as some of you said 720p is better than 1080i when watching football games.

Really? how come they protect the video using composite? try using component if your tv card have component input

Measat 1 design lifetime is 12 years. So, it's dying now..

I believe they will change the smart card in the future, just like they did before. No need to change the decoder, astro will update in their database.
I just hope we can use the decoder by the time recording function is available, just by updating firmware only.

Just got byond installed yesterday evening.
Apply online: 4/1/10
T&C: 5/1/10
Installed: 13/1/10 (in 10 days )
please include me in the list, location: kapar, klang

Signal level #1-201, #18-221 (good ah? )
Eventhough the decoder is quite small, but the remote is a bit long... normally when i hold the remote, i just use my thumb to press all the button in one step. I used to 'info/menu/left&right scroll/channel #/OK' button, but now i need more than 1 step to use all the button.
Still trying to get used for the new fuction. Seem like it doesn't have function like info-->press channel #, now i need to press ok, scroll left/right.

Btw, NG HD just awesome, but on History HD its have some footage not in HD. Will try to check ASSP HD when La Liga broadcast available, now all is NFL, so boring...

I also have this problem firstly, but after updated firmware to latest version, the problem solved.

of course, as the byond using higher frequency, signal attennuation is significant compare to SD in long run cable

Added on January 15, 2010, 9:02 amI really miss the previous info function. When pressing OK in byond, you only can scroll left/right for other channel; when you press channel #, it will change the channel, not showing the info for the channel. Imagine when you're at Discovery 551, you need to check on ESPN channel, how many times you need to press right button

The new info button just display current channel. If u want to see other channel by pressing OK, u need to scroll left/right, not but pressing channel # (just like old info function). Furthermore, it will disappear after 5s.

Anyone here using Sony LCD V series with byond?
I'm kinda fed up to set byond remote to control my tv volume.

When im using option 1, all sony 4-digit code cannot control my tv volume. But some of it can control av & power function.

Using option 2 until step 4, my tv turns off when pressing ch+ on the 3rd time. by then, it can control my tv volume but not av function (I don't mind, seldomly use it) but as soon as I press OK button (step 5), volume cannot control anymore. When i left it without pressing OK, the volume cannot control anymore after 20s.

Anyone here has the same problem?

yes, nothing happen...
how you control your tv volume? I mean just press vol+/- or need to press OK 1st?

Thanks for pointing this out. I miss this step, its above the option 1 & 2 in the manual but the problem it will switch to tv input when i on the tv also happen to me

Added on January 18, 2010, 12:32 pmI dont thinks it's a problem with TV & HT related. It's a problem with byond remote control. If u switch on/off your tv using tv remote, its working well but when you use byond remote, tv will switch to tv input.

---

Added on January 18, 2010, 12:38 pmI do feel the same. Because sometime, when i press tv power button, tv input will change to tv channel 1.

Added on January 18, 2010, 12:48 pmu need to change in the installation setting (default pin 0000), tv setting, 4:3 input from pillar box (default) to stretch mode.

This post has been edited by eMKs: Jan 18 2010, 12:48 PM

Just wait & see... I actually doubt it will be air by 31st Jan

Most of here have this prob. Just check couples of previous page, u'll find discussion about it

I think i'm get used to stretch SD channel to 16:9, although its look a bit fatter

It will be better if ManC vs ManU Carling Cup in HD.
Good thing is Tevez brace down United!
