Rileks bro, nothing to be crazy

when will discovery hd come to byond?

been waitin too long

This is going to be a dumb question. If I wanted 2 Astro B.yond in the same house, do I need 2 receiving dish?

No. You only need one dish.
But your installer will install special dedicated LNB [low noise block converter] (shaped like "head" on your dish), that can feed two coaxial cables on it...

Thought that we see on B.yond? TLC & Discovery in MPEG4 feed...

astro converted it to mpeg2 LOL

And B.yond reconverted back to MPEG4?

nope, I am surprised you didn't know, all astro SD channels are encoded in mpeg2, therefore TLC is in mpeg2

But original feed is on MPEG4, right?

Too many convert process will reduce quality of video.

That why i still see pixelation on Discovery sometimes while watching Mythbusters...

I think astro just convert it to MPEG2 for both decoder (Normal & Byond).

Can't Astro just leave original feed to B.yond and MPEG2 converted for normal...?

why would astro want to transmit same channel twice?

byond boxes are capable of decoding both mpeg2 and mpeg4 video stream

you can't improve on SD channel picture quality by simply using mpeg4 if the original source is crappy, as they said rubbish in rubbish out

Only Astro is capable to do that....

dont foresee astro improving the quality of SD channels.. since their the sole entertainment provider which is the richest in content in Malaysia without any good competitor, therefore there's no reason for them to buck up or loss any customers regardless of complaints.

On the latest B.yond ad, Astro said 13 HD channel. That mean 2 more HD channel to go...

saw that one too but is there a hidden HD channel we're not seeing?

It's the Life Inspired + Food Network Asia on ch.706.
