Well cover wth coke bottle wan is to avoid rain water interferences... probably if we add the bottle at the KNB, signal will increase further from 100% to 200%   QUOTE(azrin_kiko @ Jan 27 2010, 12:05 PM) Well, i see many people imprison their astro LNBs with plastic bag or bottom of coke bottle... maybe i can upload a pic to show... Another satellite myth maybe?? |

Hmmnn U are the 1st & only one experiencing this. All of us so far happy wth the new box reception...Try to check your signal strenght ..Should be ! 225 or higher. If u switch to Measat 3a #18, u should be able to get 100% strenght or 255 QUOTE(mohdadham @ Jan 29 2010, 03:18 PM) I just installed a few week ago but the rain issue MORE WORST than before and plan to call CS. |

Old dish, LNB & cable can be used lah but as u know, the older one is only 60cm & cable not so good liao...
So expecting reading of less than 200 instead of normal 220-255..

I normally dun and accidentally I put on standby mode when i went out on Sat & came back later & found out the SD channels suddenly cannot see networks logo anymore & pictures all so big & part of the head/hair always kena chop off!
Thereafter go to the setting pg & found out my version updated liao & no more stcretch option..only the default Zoom or pillar box
Haizzzz.....But one thing on the default zoom mode although certain part kena chopped off..but hv to agree better PQ than previous setting...

Better because you no loger seeing funny fat & stretch faces. The only problem since its zoom, you can't see the top left/right logo & also the far bottom info & the last para of the subtitle. So that's abit of irritating things!
Just like Yesterday RTM1 match between Lee Chon Wei & Kenny Chitago (hehe intended pun)...You can see part of the result but not the opponent result. On other channels, the top part of a facial head alway can't see hair wan!

Pillar box I kenot liao..bcos using Plasma..sked kena IR/burnt screen. So current option will be the head kena cut liao.. well atleast the PQ better. Anyway...for SD channel, the best still conventional CRT TV. nothing beat that. Only stupiak ppl like you & me go & buy HDTV for ASTRO years back This is pillarbox image for those haven't seen b4:  QUOTE(aressandro10 @ Mar 15 2010, 09:49 AM) may ask... which is more irritating for you... 1. thinner but accurate relatively higher quality picture with complete information but include 2 lump of black rectangle on each side, or , 2. wider, yet still accurate average quality picture with incomplete information although it is in full screen.
i just want to understand other poeple's taste and perception.. i leave the ' 3. wider, full screen, non accurate poor quality picture with complete information ' option out as it yet to be available... |

They still have't use byond..Dunno why but feeling the old DTU having better PQ than the Byond set although using HDMI
Probably Astro realised it & trying hard to rectify the problem...& came out wth the stupiak idea of taking out the blur-blur stretch option bcos kenot be rectified anymore kua...
