Hi,
I'm planning to suscribe b.yond this week.
Just want to ask. I did check the program listing and found that NatGeo and NatGeo HD have different program?

Also, does it worth the extra RM20? I'm a new suscriber to Astro.

I've tried setting the b.yond to output 720p to compare with 1080i, the picture are smoother but a lot softer in 720p, so I change back to 1080i tongue.gif

Hi,
I'm not sure if it has been discussed in the old thread, If I'm a new suscriber, the b.yond dish is free if i suscribe for 12 months. Any installation charges? or registration charges? I cant find the cost breakdown in astro webpage. i'M WORRIED ON HIDDEN CHARGES

Also, the RM20 is for 5HD channel depending on the package i suscribe, as they add new channel like Discovery HD, will the RM20 increase?

Thanks for the help/infomation in advance.

Who is the reliable sources? Please give the link at least.
If that true, most likely for the channel that already have HD content. But Astro has more channel that still not available in HD, esp local content.

Please bring ESPN HD first la.... mad.gif

4 your information, it was me that updated the Astro B.yond wiki page.. the future channels is only forecast as these two channels are very popular and AXN HD is already available in MEASAT-3A... The channel number is predicted using the formula:

<SD channel number> + 20 = <HD channel number>

eg:

History Channel 555

555 + 20 = 575

History HD Channel 575


I hope it clears up the mess...
Please don't confuse ppl here when the news is NOT confirm. sad.gif

I dun think it's possible to go HD with SD channels. Go HQ, yes, but not HD. Convert from DVB-S1 MPEG-2 to DVB-S2 H264 will improve picture quality by leaps and bounds, but 576i is still not HD no matter how you put it, even if it's upscaled to 720p/1080i on Astro's end.

I think their source is Wikipedia. The uncyclopedia that any troll can use to destroy the lives of thousands of people with just a click of the mouse.

Once you get used to looking up Wikipedia, first thing you do is check their references. If no references then it's probably a crock of bull...
