1 dish to 4 byond decoders max i.e 1 LNB out to 1 byond decoder and cannot split. If you have 4 byond, you get a dish with 4 LNBs

You can only split if the output is connecting to a normal box.

OR 1 dish to 3 byond and the other LNB output can use splitter to two or 3 normal decoder
OR 1 dish to 2 byond and the other two to splitters and connect 6 normal decoders
OR... you get the idea?


???

dish receives everything. only you decide which decoder is on which channel

Why? That was an older statement. Does not mean that they are not negotiating to include it at a later stage.

The HD channels will grow with time. When only Astro can answer.

I wonder what they plan to do by taking Astro private?

Country in SEA:

HD channel:
Malaysia (my prediction will have and only applicable end of this year, hope i m wrong)
Singapore (AXN HD carriage)
Philippines (my prediction for second AXN HD carriage)
Brunei
Thailand

No HD channel:
Indonesia

Unknown:
Cambodia
Laos
Myanmar
Papua New Guinea
Timor-Leste
Vietnam

anyone with info, can update it so that we can know what the percentage of chances we can have AXN HD in end of May...

The 2nd carrier should be with Cignal TV, Philippines.

Channel 59 HD,

sorry guys, looks like 5% chance. I want another HD channel on b.yond too.

$#@$#$#@$astro...in their facebook state will got surprise. yaloh surprise..no AXN HD end of this month...
why Malaysia always be the last in new things...1Malaysia Rakyat Didahulukan Pencapaian Diutamakan...aih...shd change to 1Malaysia Rakyat DiKetepikan Pencapaian DiKemudiankan....

I thought I saw some colours improvement, but my wife didn't notice anything ......
May be I should ask my friend to change without telling me .....
The supplied one thin and it does looks "cheap" to me.....

I'll try to understand that LNB thing, which is still very confuse to me ...
So does it mean if a LNB use splitter to 2/3 decoder, each of the decoder can watch and select different channel at the same time?
I might hear wrongly, someone told me that 1 LNB can only use for 1 decoder, if need another Astro means another dish

The surprise could be AF8 HD on channel 124 this saturday. hahaha...

Ok, I get it. More of build quality. The cable supplied with the decoder is more than capable to send a 12bit Deep Colour signal with no sparklies. With HDMI when it fails, you shd know. Based on my own observations and measurements, there are not differences between the cable provided and the other cables I own. In fact, I have other cables that seem to be better build but do not pass 12bit YCbCr properly.

Serious
I thought the made-in-Japan gold-plated HDMI cable which I bought 2 years back is better than the thinner and silver-plated Astro cable ......
But how do we measure whether a particular HDMI is indeed pass-on all the signal & colours correctly ? Need another special equipment ?

Actually I'm very confused over the 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 HDMI version, really cannot differentiate the differences except for the look itself ......

There is an entire thread on HDMI cables that would be more relevant. I will look for it and link it.

In short, if u do not see any weird sparklies, audio dropouts, the signal is being sent correctly. Most of the time, the differences are only in build quality.

I swap the 2 cables around but still notice the Byond audio sound rather weak, so I guess it is due to the source rather than cable ?

LNB is link this
If you use normal Astro, you can split it to 2/3 decoder by using splitter. It can be done because SD channel using same frequency. Each decoder can watch any SD channel (still depend on your smart card).
But if 1 of the decoder is Byond, you cannot use like I mention above because HD channel use higher frequency. If you still use that, once Byond decoder watch HD channel, other decoder that use SD channel won't get any signal.
To overcome this, you need a separate connection from Byond decoder & normal decoder to the dish. That's mean you need 2 dish with normal LNB. But if you don't want 2 dish, you can use 1 dish with LNB more than 1 output.
Hope it will clear up
