First thing first, are u using the signal amplifier, i presume u are not. For your info when i took out the signal amplifier the whole screen picture become blur compare when i install the signal amplifier the screen n picture is so clear until it very near to blu ray movie when u are on HD channel, so can explain why so much different when its only picture noise.

When v7 thread are gonna be open. Post already reach 2500 and above. 

picture please

I have seen other people's screen capture from thai HD, although in wide-screen but picture quality is very blur not as good as astro byond

What you mean by your picture quality are really blur before you install the signal amplifier?

Picture become pixellite or frequently stuttering?

Based on my very limited knowledge, Astro was transmitted using digital signal... and digital signal are only ON and OFF...

Your picture will be always same when adequate signal can be received by your dish and LNB... regardless signal quality are higher or not, same quality of picture will be shown on your TV screen.... Picture quality are determined by Astro itself, at their broadcast center.... their compression method and bitrate that they use to transmit the signal to measat satellite...

And if low signal are receive by your dish and LNB, as I said above, your picture will not blurry but it will become stuttering like when you watch stretched DVD or VCD, and when raining come to your area....

Sorry to say, maybe that's just a placebo effect..... 
You can search all of old Byond thread, there are a lot of discussion regarding signal amplifier....

It's quite difficult to do the screen capture especially whent he brightness was insufficient and the object on the TV screen was moving. The FTA HD channel that I get on the Openbox S9 was Fashion TV HD + Luxe HD + NatGeo Wild HD from AsiaSat 5, Fashion One HD + Life Inspired HD from Measat 3. As I mention in my previous post, only certain programme PQ quality was good and their average just like the HD channel on Byond.

how much did you pay for this HD box? how is the quality of recording to external USB harddisk?

What? Are you using Astro disc with third-party decoder then you could receive all these channels? For free? Any link for the instruction?

Nope.. I'm not using the Astro dish but I believe Astro dish can be used to receive certain Ku-band FTA channel out there. Sarawak here plenty of those > 1m diameter dish and I'm using it for the C-Band

Thank you, 
Meaning, it will be impossible for me... 

Migrate to Sarawak is an option, think about it.

LOL....! 
Sarawak is beautiful, I especially saw a lot of nice photo of Kuching... 

By the way, does anyone know how long it will take for Astro to activate HD capability?
Because they just changed me a B.yond decoder, but I'm still in normal package and cannot watch any HD channel yet.
I thought of call them earlier but then I realized the time already over 12am, so I will have to call them Sunday morning.
