I also already complaint about this... I don't pay premium for this crap

Anyone have the latest info, when is this stupid upgrade be solve, tonight, or tomorrow or just ????????????

No news, even the update has not been deployed yet i guess..

i send a feedback thru their website
============================
please bring back the stretch viewing option, i cannot watch my SD channels in zoom with the subtitle being cut off and people's head cut on the top.

if i wanted to watch SD channel in pillar box i might as well stick with my CRT TV.

astro never test the setting before being made available to public? what kind of service is this? only in MALAYSIA.
===================================

hope i got a call , we need rebate for this mess!!!!!! muahahahah

lucky me i din switch of my beyond so still not updated yet. better make sure it's not in standby mode

if we reset factory setting , would this be able to solve the problem ? anyone tried it yet ? i was going to try but i figure i check with lowyat forum 1st , and true enough ppl are making noise left and right, i thought i was alone when i was ranting on the bed with my wife didnt understand anything of it. she say i keep disturbing her watching american idol. how to watch ryan seacrest head on top gone!!!

i've reset to factory setting....same also.....

Someone say their decoder still update automatically although it not switch to standby mode. Maybe it matter of time.
Its astro style to push their customer to follow their scrap rule.

I think if Astro are serious in keeping their subscribers happy, they should roll back the firmware version to 1.0 while they work on fixing the zoom issue and also, they have to include the stretch option back again the new firmware. what's wrong in having 3 options? stretch, zoom and 4:3? I don't think it's that difficuly since the stretch option was there in the 1st place. With the zoom function, all the ticker bars in the news channels are missing....

Each of us must complain!!

i just sent a email to complain them. i hope astro will solve this problem if each of us send a mail to complain.

for what we subscribe to astro b.yond but we cannot get 'full screen' mode?

What is their cs email ?

sorry, i have to make correction,
i submit 'contact us' form in their website..

Just the only good thing about it...you can now use the remote control to select the aspect ratio by pressing the aspect ratio button, no need to go into installation settings anymore.

hmmm, that firmware update doesn't really bother me since i've already using the pillar box setting way back before byond on my tv. just can't stand looking at stretch people. no offense

Those with HDTV dont bother just play with you TV picture settings my Toshiba ZV does a great job. Leave Astro at pillar box zoom your TV settings I get full picture with Subs and logos and its perfect only problem each time you off the tv u have to reset back but its far smarter then silly asstro ! If only our tv was like that stupid box ? Thank god our TVs actually do a great job as far astro's feed is concerned if not Astro wld look wworst then pirated VCD !

But when you change to HD channels, you have to set your TV back to "Full" mode. ... Many ladies would think that switching the TV aspect ratios depending on the source is too complicated.

But when I want to watch HD channels, I need to revert to old settings? OMG! now need 2 remote in my hands....

really? thanks for the tip ....

I use the TV to do the wide zoom on 4:3 material
setting the b.yond to pillar box, and TV for wide zoom solve the zoom problem of the b.yond
however, I found that if zoom by the TV, the picture quality degrade a lil as compared to wide zoom by b.yond
