I got same reply from wecare@astro.com email. Even the cust service exec name also same. How hard is it to revert back the firmware. Has anyone check if we use component cable instead of the hdmi will the stretch functionbe there?

Learn to grow up small boy, even if they charge us so what, why are u so scare. Thats why i call u small boy.

I gave the customercare another call and gave her a good 20 minutes of a lecture... She finally gave up and asked me for my number because i kept pestering her for some one who cane let me know how or when this will be rectified.

A guy called me 30 minutes later apologizing for the problem and said that he couldn't give any date due to the weekends and the managment won't have any meetings till monday.. but he said the strech will be restored and due to the number of complaints he said it will be sooner rather then later.

he also promised to call me back on monday with an update because i said if they are gonna take 2 ~ 3 months to rectify this i want them to come and take this decoder, shove it up their asses and give me my old decoder back..

All i can say is keep calling astro (i plan to call again tomorrow) seems like they are under pressure. if not, then just terminate byond. pay the stupid penalty, and get on with ur lives (that my plan anyway). Astro has been pulling a lot of crap these past years..Boxoffice suddenly started sucking.. then Kirana was removed now aruna.. now this stupid stunt...

Check ur facts dude,and stop wasting everybody's time with this kind of stupid backing of ASTRO.maybe its time u have a long look at ur astro bill and look at it and look at it properly .GUYS WE HAVE AN ASTRO BACKER HERE>>>

Good to know astro is forced to revert back sooner rather then later.
Let's hope this get sorted out.

You are talking sense here, but some people won't listen. they are like little children throwing a fit.

hmm.... Childs throwing fits? don't you get it? this is about astro SD.. AXN, Celestial Movies, StarWorld... the 20 bucks that we're not paying for are for the 5 HD channels not the other 50 channels...

SD package doesn't include zoom/stretch functions & HDMI functions. get it?

it does if you use byond HD box to view SD channels, did you get your byond box yet?

Next time you choose to call people children you should do your homework... Kid.......

since you are not billed for byond yet so dont be sad if no stretch ok?

LOL I don't get your logic, we are not talking about HD channels over here regarding the missing stretch mode

ya lo.the problem now for SD channel,missing stretch function.better watching crt 29inc than lcd 4xinch.huhu.when they will repair this version...no mood watching astro now

i had my days when i freak out when i found out SD picture on ASTRO byond is worse that my 29" CRT.... i guess i felt pretty much like you guys right now...the pq of SD since have improve to rather acceptable level in cetain programmes...


so regarding this case..its nice to know that when the world is crumbling down around you and yet you are of the few poeple not affected by it...

Another Smart ass with stupid comment,get ur facts right before posting!and calling people kid or whatever doesnt make u any clever.

SD or HD the option of stretch , zoom or pillar box must be available for viewer to choose accordingly to their TV ratio.

Next time just boil ur ASTRO remote and drink the water after boiling to acquire this knowledge.

my byond now zoomed on HD channels. when i switch to hd channels, the screen like zoomed to the centre of the TV (im using HDTV of course), no full screen like before.

Oh, how do I reset the byond pin number? my dad changed it and now forgot it lol.

EDIT: nevermind, just called astro and they will reset remotely.

I get his logic.... he means since we are not paying 20 ringgit, we should ignore the fact that astro are screwing with our 100 ringgit worth of subscription.

the idiot doesnt even have byond... if he did, he'd know what we mean and would probably be calling astro children and not us=.=

Maybe u miss understand here. Actually we are here discuss about SD/Non-HD channel on byond and that what we paid every month. If u think we are not billed for byond than u are totally wrong.

Yes i know we not paying anything yet for HD channel, that why we not comment anything about HD here.

We disscuss about stretch mode that we want back because it has be taking off by astro. Stretch mode is only affect on SD/Non-HD channel.
Hope u clearly understand what happen here.

jgn jd bodoh la , kalau nk post , kene tau dulu content apa yg tgh dibincangkan , bukan main post je , ni la dia manusia. cepat gelabah.

gyus, can help me? my byond SD channels only can be zoomed or pillarboxed. how can i make it stretched (fat people lol)? my HDTV brand is Philips.
