Actually, they're only small different for SD channels when viewed with Byond decoder...
If u use HDMI, and set the output to 720p or 1080i, the SD channel will become only a bit ok and the colour tone more softer than viewed on normal decoder..
but if u use component output, the PQ was same.., but it become more sharper and a bit pixelite...

but, I think, if U just wanna upgrade to byond for  more 'clearer' SD channels, you just waste your hard earned money...

i noticed that the HBO HD, the people like taller a bit compare to HBO SD. either one is wrong i suppose

sure la...coz the picture from sd have been stretch...look fatter rite?coz u set ur output to 16:9...

ya la...in hd, its oledi in 16:9...sd channel are 4:3....when u want to watch hd channel, ur setting must be in 16:9 and this setting oso use for sd channel which is 4:3.....so, sd channel that u r watching are in 16:9........so, sd signal have been transfer to 16:9.so, the picture of sd channel will look fatter....hd channel will look original coz its broadcast in 16:9....it real size...if u want to watch sd channel in real size...set your byond to pillarbox...then it will show real size....get wut i mean?

for PVR functions, it's all not confirm yet....
still in their future planning...

Hi Low Yat Netors again,

    My Astro Byonder give me signal strength of 244 and sometimes 241. Is this signal good enough? You know, the first day after installed the Byond last Saturday, I have already experienced rain no signal problem. Is that ok?

    Also, I have set the Byond Remote Control to control my Plasma TV Panasonic TH-P42X10K. However, when I switched off the TV using the Byond remote control and then wait for a while to swith it on again using the Byond remote control, the TV will go to normal TV channel instead of HDMI or AV1, AV2 etc. I have to use the AV button on the Byond remote control to change the AV to AV1 or HDMI to watch Astro. The normal TV channel I mentioned here are referring to those normal RTM1, RTM2, TV3, NTV7 channel using the normal old conventional antenna at the roof of the house.

    Anyone having the same problem?

    Looking forward to all your reply.

    Thanks.

Well, everything was done by the Installer.

They change the dish and put the new cable. They asked me if I wanted to use the existing cable or not from dish to decoder but I insisted them to use the new cable and they have to drill a hole to let the new cable into my house. No choice. They also then asked me if I wanted to take away the old cable from dish to decoder but I insisted them to leave it alone.

Then, when they were configuring the Byond decoder, I saw them select the transponder no. 18, the last one before User Defined. So, it showed me the signal strength is around 241 to 244.

Once in a while, I checked the signal strength and it still showed me around 241 to 244.
