What are you talking bout? If you multiple HDTV , why on main you can watch in HD qua, and the other one you can watch on SD? . By right both should visualize HD quality.

Please rephrase your query. Kinda of confusing..

of cause it is possible, just get yourself a HDMI splitter, make sure it has its own power supply, it can then replicate byond box's HD signal to multiple HDTV, all showing in HD resolution

but the tv is in another room, which is too far for a normal hdmi cable.

I bought it in ShenZhen, not sure whether can find here or not......
So far can "learn" most of my electrical items except for my old Yamaha AMP remote control.....

Yes, I do know HD will display in 16:9 aspect nicely without any zoom / stretch.
I'm referring to those SD channels where I'm hoping can setup some kind of "zoom" as default on those SD channels so I don't have to use TV remote control to select "Cinama1" mode on my Redza LCD each time I switch between HD & SD channel.
Lazy people like me will say this is inconvenient lo....

Actually I saw this post and just submit my application to cam40729:

He told me need about 5 working days to submit & confirm by Astro, still waiting for him to tell me when to install .....

I saw this Byond decoder from internet, I have some questions:

1. What's the main usage for the LAN port ? For output or future input purpose?

2. Can we use HDMI, Components & Composite output concurrently ?

3. If I already use the Red/White audio, can I still use the Digital output ?




May I know what's the 2 buttons function (in circle)?
The right one seem to be screen zoom/stretch option is it ?


Sorry, too excited and just want to know more in advance, appreciate some user to explain further.

You still can use Components & Composite cable for SD tele and HDMI for HD tele

The one on left is Audio / Subtitle , the one on right is resolution. fit to screen/letterbox etc..

I was bored so I capture Astro Hd when it's heavy raining at my place.... no downtime huhuhuhu signal cun her is the proof yeeeha

My only gripe is the inability to record

With repeated contents all year long I dont think recording feature really matters

And how many SD channels broadcast letterboxed?

Also, I prefer LCD. Uses less power.

Repeated contents is not their problem, it's the content providers. The problem can be circumvented if Asstro adds more channels. Problem is, they're adding new channels too slowly, and when they do add a channel all it shows are the same exact repeats as other channels (latest case of point: TVB Classic Drama. If half of the stuff wasn't on Wah Loi Toi before, it was on Xing He or RTM...)

Guys, is there any of you has B.yond and you are residing in apartments that has centralized dish.. My question would be, how do you get your management and Astro to change the centralized dish?

I am so wanting the B.yond.. but...

hi vivre,

this is what i'm doing :
1. went to my apartment management and asked them to produce letter of permission for byond dish installation.
2. once they produce it, you can fill up the form in astro web site for byond application and at the same time the letter to astro
3. once u did it, call astro call center for confirmation of letter faxed

this may take a few days but if you always update by call them, your application will be given prioritized.

Dude, hows your configuration looks like? I mean, are you using the centralized dish now? or standalone dish?
my problem now is they did not want to allow standalone dish outside the block, I am so mad!

it's not a channel thing it's a show by show thing hence why make it switchable from the remote rather then set as default.
