To those who said online application is fast, then u have an example of what I have said..
No..online application is not fast..might be for some but not for this poor friend..
Bro..get on the phone and call them..sometimes online application is useless..
Calling them would be faster..


I am going to balik kampung to my grandparents home this weekend..
They dont have HDTV so no HDMI port..
They do have astro and use normal TV]
I want to bring my Byond decoder back
I know I wont get HD quality but my package is better than my grandparents
So if I bring my Byond box, remote, and smart card with me, how do i set up?
Other than connecting satellite cable to Byond decoder, what cables should I connect from TV to decoder?
What colour?
Can any sifu help?

slingbox - I think they re-encode stuff and have algorithms to determine compression depending on available bandwidth. It sounds like it'll never send out a signal as-is i.e no way it'll stream the HD video. You can watch the hd channel via slingbox, but it'll be re-encoded into a 1mbps stream at best

Just use normal composite should do. The yellow/white/red.

WWII in History HD premiers 5th May...every Wed 8pm

hmm espn HD is the only channel i watch lol ><

Is it just me or is the History HD is not as clear as other HD channel?

Maybe my plasma got problem

It's pretty straightforward, I believe shouldn't be a problem for you, except for ladies
Just note that your smart card will work with your byond decoder only.
You can also split satellite signal with splitter, so you can use both decoder at the same time. But you can watch SD channel only.
The best thing is bring your HDTV together or give to your grandpa as a gift

OOOOOOOOOOOOOPs dont adjust your TV pal cos except for NGC the other HD channels do have some problem, maybe they are upscaled . I too notice the difference on History, HBO and some ESPN Sports compared to sound and picture of NGC

A lot of the documentaries shown on these channels are compiled from many different sources of video ranging from Full HD all the way down to cell phone video.

Just watching the History / NGC channel graphics / title slides etc between programmes you can tell right away that it's HD just like the other channels.

OMG, how come i ZEE nothing on all my HD channel???

anybody have the same issue? plz advice. thanks.

switch main power off then on, see if you can get your HD channels back

Now that a reason next update 1.3 should fix that...

hopefully they also activate the PVR functions for Byond on 1.3 version of firmware....

when did v1.3 will be release?any news?

yup better call and booked rather use internet application. i done thru net 2 weeks ago and got no reply. but called last thursday, they confirmed back on friday, got my byond on saturday...damn fast.

I mean, what's the causes of some of SD channel (non Astro) have "signal glitch"?

Example #1

Anyone else having this since changing satellite transponder?

Because all those history stories all old old ...

historyHD channel picture quality is superb on my display

History channels sometimes use an old footage which there is no way it can be HD... only Upscale...

same goes to NGC,HBO HD.... and the sports HD channel too
