Software version is: 1.1.2.001 Mar 15 2010

Press Aspect Ratio button on byond remote, if you didn't get zoom, that's mean your already updated.

Wow.. I surely missed a lot of drama here.. This thread was most of the time empty (aka not many new posts).. But when the update strike, suddenly this thread became super hot/busy.. A lot of discussions, debates n etc..

Anyways, I beg to differ but I never watched SD channels (or 4:3 videos in my lappy) in 'Stretch' or 'Fit to Screen'.. I just..didn't do it.. =p
But sometimes the videos in MTV or Hitz.tv or VH1 is in 16:9 mode so I changed the ratio to 'Stretch/FTS' just to enjoy an SD music video in correct ratio.. Gogo was a bit too forceful about his opinion and some people really got angry with him lol.. Hey, come back, the war is over rite? No hard feelings people. One love y'all. May peace be unto you guys.

Off-topic: And thanks to kiko n cashq n those people who uses my byond sig. I feel happy to see it being used by you guys. I guess that's the satisfactions some people seek by giving free stuff for other people to use.. (eyes looking at aXXo, FXG, bricktophd and et al)

Your Astro Byond sig is cool..

From what has been happening I won't be surprised to see Disney and Cartoon Network vanish from Astro and replaced with in-house nonsense.

How sure are you bro, Cartoon Network & Disney quite huge investment. If you are right after all, i'll probably reconsider Astro the following year..

Off topic - Since it does relate to Astro's channel lineup

Astro will show all 380 EPL matches LIVE starting from next season
So that means every Saturday there will be simultaneous matches,
What should Astro do?
Open up temporary channels?
Have specific channels for EPL?
Use the RED button function like Sky Sports in the UK?
Please participate in the thread below:

Probably add up channels like what has been planned for World Cup 2010.
Multiple channels and respective buttons for switching between.

Sorry If I haven't read rest of the thread. (Imagine the time to browse all 100+ pages tongue.gif )

I have two decoders, using one dish, that are most likely in separate accounts as the downstairs Astro has no Movie channels while the unit upstairs has it subscribed. The cables are embedded into the wall and thicker than the one in my old house. The splitter thing is downstairs.

Will I get Byond for both televisions or either one will have to use SD (downstairs is HD ready, no HDMI sad.gif upstairs is a more canggih Samsung Full HD TV with 4 HDMI). I think I will get the dish with the two LNB but as the cables are in the wall... I don't know.

I tried running Beyond on SD tele and FULL HD LCD simultaneously. And it worked.

I guess it should work for you as well..
