Composite & Component output is fixed at 576i, there's no setting you can change. Try connect from byond composite output direct to your tv. If ok, try connect AEM to other source as well

composite 480i, component 1080p.

since when astro byond component output can output 1080p..??
if i'm not mistaken, maximum output for component is only 576i...
HDMI only can output to maximum 1080i

and 480i is for country with NTSC TV system like USA/Canada..
We in Malaysia who used PAL tv system, max is 576i

im talking about the cable. not astro byond...

if ur talking about byond then component support both 720p and 1080i astro byond output. cuz component max is 1080p while composite connection max is 480i.

shit, my Astro Beyond can't be started. Before this, the stupid decoder kept on restarting by itself for about 2-3 times a week.

any idea on what to do before i call the Astro technician?

ask the technician to change a new one..

get his phone number ready.

I just trying to help him & this is byond topic, i mean specifically about byond only. Of course, component can support video format up to 1080p.
Ur misguided about byond. Just connect composite & component output from byond to your TV, you won't get any signal other than 576i. You wonder why? Just find it by yourself.

Agreed. It's already been said and confirmed by Astro- due to copy protection, component is locked to downscaled 576i. Only HDMI will output 1080i on the byond. Sure, you can also apply copy protection to Analog component using Macrovision, but most likely they're not going to do so due to extra cost.

Wasted money getting a stupid VGA box just because anticipating Astro to offer 1080i over component, since the prototype they presented last year supposedly can do that

should hv told me earlier....dont do since when since when make ppl look stupid, in that case he hv no choice but to find hdmi to component converter which is expensive. or buy a new tv....more expensive... sucks la if ppl got tv wit no hdmi connection....wasted the hdness. wats the necessary of locking down the component to 567i anyway?

hi evry 1.. i'm a normal astro subscriber.. if i want to maintain the old decorder and add byond how much it cost to install byond in my house?

Around RM80 to keep old decoder. B.yond is charged on April with RM20. Correct me if i'm wrong...

betol la tuu

r u saying byond installation is free? im only paying rm20 monthly for that?

1 more thing.. is the byond decoder is different with the other 1? what i meant was, my old decoder i wish to keep in my old house.. i planning to get byond for my new house.. my question is, is the beyond decoder it self complete with the old pakage + 5 HD channel? meaning RM84.90 + RM20?

RM20 is charged to B.yond only on April.

mind to explain a bit?

Additional RM20 will be charge start from April onwards.
Other info you can find at byond faq http://www.astro.com.my/byond/faq.asp

no you need a new package for your new home - the byond decoder itself doesn't come with subscriptions. And no subscriptions = no channels. in fact u want hd u hav to subscribe to package with hd channels

meaning we can enjoy Byond free till April onwards and if we were to terminate Byond, we still hav to pay rm20x12 mths to Astro and also lose the Byond box?

is it worth it to subscribe movie package too to enjoy hbo in hd ? currently i am enjoying watching history and netgeo channel so much in hd together with sports channel..
