Astro HD is which?

btw, my tv is a 1920 by 1080 , so which is which?

As I said earlier, they claim that the component locking is due to copy protection. Which is easily shot down because you can indeed do copy protection through analog component using Macrovision. Most likely is that they dun want to pay for two different copy protection technologies.

But I do agree with you. Many early HD-Ready TVs have no HDMI port. And so do many current cheap China-brand "HD-Ready" TVs.

Hey guys, i don't know what happened but my normal channels shrunk , leaving two vertical black columns at the sides. last time it will auto-resize, how do i set it back ? i am using astro byond. thanks

tonite Cup Final in HD...hooray

Subscribe for movie channels would be cool. Coz even if you've watched the movie, you'd like to watch it again coz it's in HD.. At least that's what I did.. BUT, I figured out SOME HD movies are not in a proper aspect ratio.. even new movies.. But speed racer HD is soo cool. Make your TV looked so pwerful.

damn it, u are making me wanna subscribe to HBO and i dun hav the time to watch them too

if i hav Dynasty + Sports + Learning, how much will i hav to add to include Movies ?
thx

Your monthly subscription will become RM 117.95
Family (compulsory) +Movies+ Dynasty +Learning+Sports

+ RM20 for Byond and total : RM 137.95

it seems i need to subscribe to movie package as well...

home>settings>installations settings>PIN(0000)>TV settings>conversion for 4:3 input video> change this from the pillar box setting to the other setting>press the blue button to save. press the B.yond button to exit

Really want to change to Byond, my dad already say yes to change, but the thing that is worrying me is the PQ of the SD Channel. Dont care bout the amp bla bla bla coz I only have TV.. no Home Theatre

My B.yond decoder use HDMI, but had to set audio to stereo because we didn't have money to buy surround system.
Basicly, i'm watching HD channel with stereo sound...

Just got my Astro B.yond installed today, Nat Geo HD is cool, btw what is the audio of the HD channels ? Is it HD sound or just regular 5.1 DD or DTS ? I do not have a home theater currently but I wish to buy one soon, so just wanna make sure do I need a TrueHD or DTS-MA amp later on.

1080i = interlaced
1080p = progressive

if you don't understand what interlaced and progressive means read this

byond is 1080i on some channels and 720p on some channels

On US HD feed, HBO HD is 1080i while NGC HD, History HD & ESPNHD aired in 720p.
