QUOTE(dannychen @ Dec 28 2010, 08:15 PM) I mean "as of today" the upgrading is not done yet, it suppose to be done few weeks ago. Another update, the HD service will be subject to the 6% government tax as adviced by their customer service.OMG! I though it was under DMT Rental....

Finally, after one month waiting, they changed my package today....  So, like bro Lapaq said, their system already OK now.... no need to worry about Byond activation.... (hopefully)

QUOTE(billytong @ Jan 2 2011, 05:22 PM) Just curious, Are all those Beyond HD channels in 1080p or still those silly 1080i/720p? yes, they still broadcast on that "silly" 720p/1080i...

QUOTE(smileguy @ Jan 2 2011, 07:51 PM) If thats so shld we set our beyond settings to 720p or follow our full hdtv setting ?  your eyes can be the judge in this situation.... Trust your eyes... if you think 720p give the better PQ, set it to 720p.. same goes to 1080i... "according" to my eyes, he said that 1080i are better than 720p, so, i set to 1080i  BTW, Astro byond only can give maximum output of HD-Ready or 1080i/720p... Your TV will do the upscale to 1080p...

Other things that need to improve for Byond is when we access the channel guide. Do you notice that when we want to find the channel guide let's say on HBO (channel 411), at that time, I was on channel 104 (Astro Ria).., I need to browse all of channels available from 104 to 411 to check the program guide for HBO. It's really irritating sometimes. Like old decoder.., even Astro MAX itself, I can access the channel guide easily. I just press the 411 on remote, and preview screen still stay at 104, only program guide changed. I really hope that Astro can do something on this.... Thank God that I don't encounter any problem regarding PVR functions.. everything seems fine for me... This post has been edited by AjkR06: Jan 4 2011, 06:11 PM

I can smell that extra features for Byond must be HD and probably finally we can use the Ethernet port at the backside of Byond....

Yup... they have even slept right in front of me when I'm talking....literally!From that sentence, I can smell that you're worked as something important at Astro... Probably Customer Service head of department??
