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

is the package + byond will be in the same decoder(new byond decoder)? or will need two different decoder? 

To answer your question (If connected to component or HDMI output of the B.yond Box):

Standard Definition (CRT) TV
576i = Excellent
720p = Excellent
1080i = Excellent

HD Ready TV
576i = Medium to poor
720p = Excellent
1080i = Excellent

Full HD TV
576i = Poor
720p = Medium
1080i = Excellent

can o not install astro byond at putrajaya apartment?ada sesiapa sudah pasang?

I did see the differences for HD channel if it is connected to my CRT TV

What about SD channels that use widescreen (Enhanced Definition) i.e. CNN, BBC News Or Australia Network? I notice sometimes on Australia Network programming the logo will cut out of the screen partially? Will they finally be transmitted without cropping?

for recording function, we hav to pay extra like astro max

PVR function need to pay how much ar?

Everything also pay pay pay, might be loosing to DETV, later I'll have the chance to try out the DETV, free for 1 year hehe

errr,another Q....ive called astro to subscribe for byond...then,this morning..got a missed call from KL number...03xxxxxxxx sumthing...perhaps the astro guy calling for T&C and i failed to answer the phone..huhu....the question,they will call again or not ar??

thx for the reply bro...err,their SC is 24hours rite?

Anyone tried to store the transport streams from b.yond? .TS or .TP I mean.

I'm already hooked on original streams.. 

Yeah. Have you played those formats on your PC?

I recently download a lot of FullHD .ts files over the net (Specifically S.Korea)
It does indeed look good but almost all their streams are outputted at 1920x1088.

How about Astro? is it similar to 1920x1080? I do know both are 1080i and uses MPEG2 though.
One hour worth of HD content 1080i60fps is roughly 10.1GB, I do need to know how is Astro compressing the streams.

It has component, better than S-Video 

I feel that 1080i is better than 720p on my TV

WOW!!!!
I have checked Astro's website..its True..its True..
Im in total shock right now..
How the heck last week [check previous pages (30-50)] we got news that there is no F1 in HD until 2011
Not in Malaysia only but the whole world will have to wait until 2011
It was reported that FIA (the racing governing body) still not prepared for HD
Now suddenly we get news F1 in HD on ESPN
I know initially before launching ESPN HD, Astro did say F1 will be in HD
So there are 3 scenarios now,
Either FIA are now suddenly prepared for F1 HD around the world or
Astro dont know there is no F1 HD  until next year and this is an error or
They will upscale the content of the normal SD feed

Anyways..im hoping it is true that F1 will be in HD
NASCAR seems great in HD, F1 with Schumacher back and Lotus 1Malaysia also in should be a cracker!!!
Lets wait and see 

Yea. My school has one. Its under an Astro programme called Kampus Astro. Have yet to try it though, but I bet the interface is the same as Astro Max.

Too bad, our byond only have 1 tuner. So, we won't have 'watch 1 channel while recording other channel' just like Astro Max, when byond recording function is available.
