Makes me wonder if Bernie Stolar migrated to Malaysia and working for Astro. Why coming in all only events and channels that is of interests to kaki bola?

I have problem trying to program my fav channels with the new remote .
I config fav by pressing Home>Settings>Your Settings>Edit Favourites.
Then set all my fav channels. Return to main menu>current viewing cahannel.
However pressing the fav button does not change to the next fav channel that I have programmed in earlier.
In fact, nothing happen except the red light blink just below the power off button on the remote and the IR indicator on the Astro Set Box.
Would appreciate any advise on how to get fav working on remote.
TQ

try pressing "OK", then "Fav" button on the remote

It has component, better than S-Video

Hmm, I noticed that the PQ for repeated matches are a bit lower than the live ones. Or is it just me?

True but for some reason, on my astro/TV; s-video picture clarity is looks better than component or composite

but most CRT does not have component input. Only have S-video input...
last night, I go to my cousin house, they already installed byond.., and you know why they installed byond, he said to me that he only want new looking dish..., "elegant" and more "Xclusive" and does not know a lot what is HD... and he using CRT TV that come only with CVBS input...

They pay the money, they make the call!

component to S-video converter

Yeah, can use that, but 1. Not cheap, and 2. Hard to get.

wow~ normally how much is that ?

hi people! i juz upgraded to astro.b! yeah

i have 2 question, my astro.b have a signal strength of 179..is that good? or should i be worried?

also the installer came and did the installation when i was out..my dad said he used back the old RG6 cable..my dad notice he join the old cable which was split in 2 with a black tape! lol..should i call him to come back and do single clean cable installation?

But Singapore will not be having World Cup!!!!

there is no need to try & force a download. Just put you decode in standby when you're not watching

I think they wl have it last minute cos public interest matters !

OT
It is about money and greedy! The Singapore broadcasters dun think they should pay so much for the broadcast! So they agree not to bid so much. FIFA is punishing them for bidding so low!

larger than 200 would be a healthy signal strength

yes, insist on a single RG6 cable connection from LNB to decoder, no join using black tape

One website I've seen in the US wants US$199 for one, and that's before shipping. Maybe now have cheaper one, don't know. Hard to find online, or maybe I'm just ditzy and used the wrong search terms on google.

Not interested in world cup (cannot watch anyway, no sports package). I'm a kaki bangku and ulat buku anyway. No interest in sports, more interest in kids and learning channels.

The thing is, I disconnect my decoder from power and LNB when I'm not watching, out of fear of lightning strike. Especially after I lost a router in one such event (and it wasn't even my fault, my sister was supposed to disconnect it when she was done using but she thought she could get away with it). But ok, I'll straight away plug the decoder in and leave it on standby and only disconnect when leaving the house or going to bed from next time onwards.

When I upgraded to b.yond, they installed a head on the LNB cable and the extension cable then join using a screw-in adapter of some kind. Cost me RM8 extra for the joins, but cable is free because I kept the old cable and the extension came from the new roll of cable they're supposed to install.

Before that the extension was like yours, ownself do (the provided roll is not long enough to pull into my room). Installer laughed when he saw how feeble the job was.

I am using LCD TV Samsung 32" (LA32B350F1) with native resolution of 1360x768.
What HD settings should I use: 1080i/720p/576i/576p?
I tried all the options and to me, there is no difference on HD PQ quality .
Anyone try that?

TQ

720p
There is a difference between 720p&1080i
See it closely, u'll know.

My 32'' set at 720p.
