The HDMI standard is very long and strict, see http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/specification.aspx, for example it clearly states that Audio must be of a fixed RMS in terms of volume so the Astro decoder must output a fixed audio on the HDMI connector. It also clearly states that all video must adhere to the native aspect ratio of the display and not distort.

....
can you show me which paragraph in the "HDMI Specification 1.3a" document stated that particular requirement?

HDMI requirement stated as: "HDMI 1.3 to HDMI 1.3c uses the CEA-861-D video standard"

On a side note, good to see the b.yond sig banner coming back to your posts. Would someone kindly point me to the earlier post which explained how to do that? I can't find it.

sounded like either end of HDMI connector is not properly seated
re-insert HDMI sockets softly, if problem persist, call astro

I think this problem is unique to byond box, due to its "dynamic new channel update" capability, hope this bug will be fixed in the next firmware update
