Regarding 5.1 it totally depends on the programme. it is not a channel setting. Not all programmes on HD channels have 5.1.

that's priceless!

NO, if anything it will weaken the signal reflected off the dish to the LNB.

It's a line of sigth issue not a dish/LNB getting wet issue

Actually you have changed nothing at all.
All that you have done is monitor the signal strength from a different transponder.

Scrol down and I've covered the remote syncing for Sony

Yes you need to sync your remote, check the manual for instructions.

No you can not change the satellite signal level via changing any menu settings you can only monitor its strength.
see my blog to find out how to monitor it.

Got a new posting up including the tv code lists for programming your remote.
useful for those that have lost or never read the manual.

No news on the updates, not allowed to do that.

This setting is actually part of the playout and it looks like i spoke too soon. It's fine in stereoe but 5.1 is still louder on HD channels.

doesn't matter, it is not related to the connection.

F1 is on Star Sports so I don't think you will get it in HD.

hard to tell without seeing what you are seeing. perhaps it is some type of artifact in the overscan?

can you post a screen shot?

home>settings>installations settings>PIN(0000)>TV settings>conversion for 4:3 input video> change this from the pillar box setting to the other setting>press the blue button to save. press the B.yond button to exit

Astro B.yond v1.1s release coming soon.

sneak peak here

Australia network is 4:3, and their content is letterboxed from it's original 16:9 by them, you can tell this by the way the bug sits over the black letterbox area.
pretty sure the same is true of the feeds we get of CNN and BBC.

I don't think that Berny is actually producing it in HD, is he? It will still be in 16:9 though

Assuming that you are watching on an HDTV conencted via HDMI cable and have set 4:3 video out put to stretch.

If your eyes are telling you that people look taller on HD it is most likely due to your eyes being trained from watching SD stretched on a wide screen TV. Your brain has tricked itself into thinking that these seemingly taller looking people don't appear as normal when infact they are correct and the short stubby images on an SD screen that is stretched to fill a wide screen TV is actually the wrong aspect ratio.

Is it happening all the time?


if you get no picture press ch+ and then ch-

can you describe your set up in detail please?
covering things like
what brand Tv have you got?
Are you using HDMI direct from the decoder to the TV?
Is your audio connected over HDMI, RCA or digital coax?
Is the audio connection direct from the decoder to the TV or via an amp/home theatre?
any splitters connected to anything?
which channel numbers are you viewing and not seeing anything on?

You have a port with HDMI & DVI inputs? Did you connect with HDMI-HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable?

there is no need to try & force a download. Just put you decode in standby when you're not watching
