r u saying byond installation is free? im only paying rm20 monthly for that?

1 more thing.. is the byond decoder is different with the other 1? what i meant was, my old decoder i wish to keep in my old house.. i planning to get byond for my new house.. my question is, is the beyond decoder it self complete with the old pakage + 5 HD channel? meaning RM84.90 + RM20?  hmm.gif

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... sweat.gif

I'm using Sony KLV-32EX300 which is suppose on 1366 x 768. Picture is better on SD channel but "soft". Might have buy Sony HDMI rather than using Astro HDMI. smile.gif

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.

Well, after few tweaks, it's so much better. BTW, what's the specification of astro HDMI? is there any HDMI cable that not golden plated?

Has everybody called them yet? If not, please pick up the phone and state your utmost displeasure by this. We need everyone to push them to return the stretch mode!

Next B.yond update, hopefully this problem will be fixed for sure. nod.gif
