Ahaha. I doubt I can stand it. But ok, will try tonight.

My choice is none of above 
I like zoom with retain aspect ratio, but not until full screen. Still have pillar box, but I can control which area to crop. It will be great if byond can set to 10%, 20% - 100% zoom.

yes... sure... i think it's better for u to stick with older firmware...
new firmware really make people here and out there including me and my family in headache now....

for my case, they said the case are still in investigation.... 

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 !  

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

Just ignore gogo2, he's just trolling with you guys.

Although I have not seen it (away in Japan working on Ultra HD :-) ) it looks as though the zoom is intended for viewing 4:3 letterbox on a 16:9 TV, which is actually correct.

Perhaps Malaysia is not as ready for 16:9 as we thought we were?
