The astro b.yond installer came at 10:45 am, completed changing the disc (OGU65) and setting at 11:10am....activate the card, can see the channel at 11:20am....rclxm9.gif

my original cable (concealed) very long like min 40ft only can get signal at 177, add in the booster, it became 255 instantly...rclxms.gif

now only wait for the ESPN HD.....EPL in HD drool.gif

u guys notice that on Geo HD, the 5.1 sound a bit blur with lots of noise in the back ground (like the wind blowing into the recording mic) and the narration is a bit soft?

The History & sports HD are OK though....

The Astro technical person here mislead people saying Byond don't do DD 5.1 over HDMI. Any other Byond user can prove it wrong?

I am getting DD5.1 through HDMI in Neo HD & History HD, Astro Super Sports HD mostly DD 2.0, why he say that??
