after 2 weeks with beyond..

- points : hd materials not that much, the urge not to watch 411 due to 1 hour differences..

+ points : drizzle, heavy, trickle or any form of rain didnt interrupt the signal. not even a flinch. for this its, worth the upgrade. and of course hd is nice indeed.

good answer there on the rain issue. cant explain much myself, checked the signal strength in my decoder and its about 215 so probably as AstInst said, its the dish alignment.

on my part, i did ask for new cable wiring and the installer was kind enough to give quite an extension too without extra charges.

nods, got the same problem today. sometimes theres no picture in the hd channel. only sound...
dunno whats the problem yet.

running component for SD and hdmi for HD for now. of course, sound quality apparently different (analog rca vs digital hdmi)..

called astro cs too...technical problem was the answer...

lol..chill out.

its just tv...no need to get so religious

though its good that astro has a competitor, i do hope that tm to really study their costing and pricing. no point joining the fray to pull out 6 months afterwards...
