jus wondering. my friend moving oversea hav a astro byond decoder wanna gif away, my home has the normal astro wif an lcd tv can i jus change the decoder n get HD?or issit need change the simcard, sat dish etc?

If your friend do not cancel his account then you can use his b.yond because the smart card only works with that particular b.yond. Why don't you call Astro CS to upgrade to b.yond, free installation.

Not sure this is discussed before, when we change channel fr SD to HD


SD - sound can be heard tru TV speakers AND HTS speakers

-Everytime this happen i need to quickly mute the TV
-But it is a good thing if i off my HTS say watching just TV3 or any SD channel late nite, i can hear the sound from TV.

HD - no sound via TV speakers but HTS speakers only.

-Everytime this happen i need to quickly ON the HTS, if it is not ON.
-Sometimes we dont need 5.1ch to watch HD channel late at nite.

I cant seems to control the above situations.

What i want is:-

If i off my HTS i want the sound from both SD and HD channels to come out via the TV speaker.

And if i ON the HTS i do not want any sound from the TV without me having to MUTE the TV be it SD or HD channels.

All Connection are HDMI only.

Any solution?

By then americas had ultra HD only... sigh!

Coming to Byond or coming to digital teresterial TV (DVB-T) like what happened in US, Singapore, HK, Seoul, Japan etc nowadays...
What I afraid is the project will become like RTM digital TV... Wah... talk-talk so loudly that they will do it nationwide starting on 2010, but until now, nothing happened.... Peoples who live at Klang valley also did not aware of their digital TV....

The saying goes empty vessels make the most noise !!!!!!!!!! Just like so many licence holders, so what ? For what ? We see only one giant HD itself stinks even almost a year since launch and still selecting channels and blaming NO content, why talk abt Ultra HD that wld be another RM40 maybe for UHD services !!

System upgrade but bills are prompt,perhaps bills are not involved ! maybe in future bill wl be displayed on your TV and you must pay no more by post !

system upgrade? for epl in 3D eh?
haihhh...

Hiyo uncle you no need to shout shout to me laa, small letter also i can read mah.

Anyway go through setting every time changing channel fr SD to HD not really practical lah

Any other solution?

I read somewhere from the net about improving SD picture quality, try setting HDMI output to 576i on the byond box, the upscaling done by the byond box with 720p/1080i setting may degrade SD picture quality

Tried, i see no diff on SD channel and HD channels become worse. Back to 1080i settings

How come we cannot have free Asian games channel in HD ? That's the problem with monopoly .... no competition.

Even China has free HD channel and China was backward only 20 years ago.

Damn, was planning to change my parents' Astro to Byond, now they have this upgrade thingy. Should I just submit the application now? I hope to get it done before end of the year

if u do submit now, I doubt they will even read or do anything about it until the 10 day period ends..right now, their CS really goyang kaki got 10 days cuti..but I also think u should put in application now (if can)..if u put now, maybe u will be number 23 on the list when they start processing the application after the 10 days..but if u wait for the 10days to be over first, u could be number 93!!!

its ok if number 93...if u r in number 993?sure u always call cs rite!hehe!better submit now, u will lose nothing to submit earlier!

caprica coming in dec 9 on axn beyond hd?? sounds great..
but so pity axn also sneak peek 2 hour only in axn after amazing race asia for one day only...
but good news 2nd episode onward in axn beyond hd....
