Bro, they just want to help you to minimize loss of signal during rain. That's why they change to new 65 dish, new LNB & new cable. All of this is to improve signal strength & better resistance during raining.
If you happy with your signal strength using existing cable, just use it. But don't blame them if you get signal lost during rain.

Good point. You need to have 2 cable to the dish. They use new LNB with two connector, so cannot use splitter.
If you only have 1 cable, you need to install 1 more cable from decoder to the dish.

If you use splitter, when byond decoder tune to HD channel, your SD decoder won't get any signal.
One of forumer (back in V2) post a picture how the LNB with 2 output looks like.
Here is the link LNB with 2 output

In 2010, ASTRO aims to be the first in the world to offer video recording through external hard drive. With this service, customers can record their favourite programmes and personalize their TV viewing schedules. Astro B.yond will also introduce Digital Video Recording (DVR), Video on Demand (VOD) and IPTV connectivity in phases over the next 24 months.

Obviously, Astro will not offer thru TM HSBB.
Maybe using fixed line Maxis Broadband

It's not 1MB, actually 1Mbps

Make sure you connect it using composite video & audio (Red, White & Yellow) not Component (Red, Blue & Green)
Try other source as well

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

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.

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

Not sure about termination fee, but you have to obey 12 months contract. Byond set is belong to Astro, they have right to take it from you once you terminate the subscription.

Just waste your money to buy Sony HDMI cable, PQ will same as byond cable. You need to calibrate your display to improve 'soft' picture.

But you still can watch F1 more than HD, live in front of you. Just a month away
Hopefully not in heavy rain like last year

As long as you subscribe it, or until Astro decide to drop it which is very very unlikely. Perhaps they will increase it

What is 'S' all about? Something like 1.5E/1.5S?

Try to look at the ball when camera zoom into it. If you notice it's in perfect round shape, your aspect ratio should be ok. But if you notice it's in ellipse shape, that's mean something wrong with aspect ratio. You'll hardly notice when the ball is so small

Stimix can only support up to 4Mbps now, not enough bandwith for HD channel. If their initial plan is on track, it should be launch by end of this month link

If your TV is HDCP compliance, it should work. But if its not, then you can watch SD channel only

Bro, just installed byond? Your name still not in the list

your TV is relatively new, it should support HDCP

RTM is FTA channel, so you can receive & watch it for free, even when it is in HD. When it's available, of course you need to buy the decoder. Just wait when the standard is set (DVB-T/DMB-T), TV manufacture will include the tuner in their set. So, you won't need buy additional decoder.

1) Switch off the decoder at the main power supply
2) Switch on back the decoder
3) Immediately after the 'Boot' message appears on the decoder screen, press 'on/off' button followed by 'ch+' button and 'on/off' button again in quick succession
4) The decoder will reboot itself and the 'Auto Update' message should appear
5) If this does not work, it means that you already have the latest software version

Btw, if you leave your decoder in standby mode, after 5 min it will auto check for software update.

What a waste, HD is digital ma... Existing program they can just upscale it. If you notice, PQ on RTM channel is better than any local channel if not any SD channel in byond.

It has component, better than S-Video
