For now, SD channel in B.yond looks better on component video than using HDMI, is it? brows.gif

Not on mine, if i pass through using the component cable, it has a special wave effects.

Installer just came and installed B.yond  a few hours ago in my house. After installing took almost 1 hour to activate the smart card. Really impressed with the HD channel quality. Alot of difference, picture quality improved by more then 50%, sound is also much better.

Only thing that i find really funny is the decoder. I find it really ugly and not even a little bit of concept was put to it. Anyway its just a comment. Will upload the decoder picture.

U shud have seen its imediate predecessor then, the only-its-mother-could-love Thomson. Honestly, the reason why I hurried installing Byond was also to get rid of the rubbish remote control shakehead.gif

Anyone notice that when watching in HD the bass a very boomy? My sub going crazy when watching in HD. Maybe the Dolby Digital issue?
*
Dunno about bass but they still havent equalise the volumes between SD snd HD channels after a month. Wonder will they ever do that?

My AVR displays ( M-Norm +4 ) when switched to HD/Dolby. I suspect it is the Dolby issue.  sad.gif

Try switching to stereo output on the decoder and compare?

Has the lead time from request till installation improved drastically? Judging from the significant drop in rants, can I assume Astro has managed to clear Byond's back-logs?
