4 your information, it was me that updated the Astro B.yond wiki page.. the future channels is only forecast as these two channels are very popular and AXN HD is already available in MEASAT-3A... The channel number is predicted using the formula:

<SD channel number> + 20 = <HD channel number>

eg:

History Channel 555

555 + 20 = 575

History HD Channel 575


I hope it clears up the mess...
Please don't confuse ppl here when the news is NOT confirm. sad.gif

Sorry for asking this noob question

Is this only apply to people who having the antena disc ?

How about the centralize astro one like who're using it at condo ? (No Antenna)

You have to wait your building managment allow Astro change the dish/cable. From FAQ, it may take about 12 to 24 month...

I'm not optimistic as well....but if they are able to convert some of the hot channels like Wah Lai Toi(311), AXN(701), Astro AEC(301) by the end of the year, then I'm more than satisfied rclxms.gif

Prepare the pay more if 311 & AOD go HD sweat.gif sweat.gif

Hi, I just install the astro B.yond. But I got an problem now. I would like the non HD channel to remain in 4:3 aspect ratio and the HD is 720p. I saw the guy set the normal channel to stretch and HD to 1080p. However, now I wasn't able to find this option on my remote. Anyone can tell me how to do it?
*
You need to set it at B.yond box to "Pillar". At this moment, no shortcut key for this function on remote controller.

In fact, before you start thinking to purchase those expansive coaxial cable, you can try to use the video (yellow) cable, or the normal audio cable (black or red), use only 1 cable will do.

I don't think its wrong bro.. when LCD just come out few years back, I search high and low for LCD that can display pillar box
which is 1:1 pixel to pixel display. And now Astro give you the great 1:1 option... I hope you all can appreaciate.. lolz...
*
Original firmware already have "Pillar Box" option. The 1.1s take away the "stretch mode" and replace with "Zoom". I believe no one like watch the movie in zoom mode and not many ppl like their TV have 2 black bar at both side. Just let ppl have 3 selections: Pillar, Stretch and Zoom.....
Maybe is B.yond box limitation to have this 3 options ?? blush.gif sweat.gif

For those who want to do the manual update. Just press the B.yond decoder 3 buttons from left to right. First button is power, second not sure channel up or down then follow by 3rd button. If everything is correct, your B.youd will reboot and check for the update.

I hope they wont do it.... biggrin.gif

about the proton cars... maybe 2 Gen-2 kot... dunno much about car price la... but HD camera is definitely expensive... thats why our local content provider and film makers cant afford to shoot in HD kot... cos the cost is just too high...

I read in this thread I think... saying that all Astro Channel will be in HD by the end of 2010... WOW!!
*
Not only camera need to upgrade, the HD broadcasters backbone also need to upgrade, so is huge investment.....For F1, to cover the whole circuit including onboard camera, I believe more then 20 current SD camera need to upgrade. Unlike Nascar, I think 1 or 2 camera will cover the whole circuit....F1 need time to upgrade their HD broadcastersing system...Hope by next year we can enjoy REAL HD F1 racing smile.gif
