I thought someones have already posted the outcome twice, they are going for the arbitration, in more simple english they are going to settle out of court

it is actually stated in their contract, dispute must go through arbitration first

I think astro has switched off your HDMI port, since you have requested to terminate HD service, now you can only use either component video or composite video to connect to your HDTV

byond does not have s-video, use component video instead, max resolution is crippled to 576i50

before calling astro contract installer to do the re-alignment(will cost you RM50), you can do the diy check on the 2 F-connectors, one on the LNB, another behind the decoder, make sure they are tightly screw on, loose connection can cause intermittent reception problem

no 3D HDTV no problem, cross your eyes when watching twin-screen 3D braodcast, eventually eyes fatigue will trick your brain into seeing 3D image even without 3D glasses, try it! LOL

1 for satellite? how to make connection to satellite?

before calling astro for a replacement, you can change to another HDMI cable to check if your problem is cable related, another thing to check is proper ventilation, byond box run quite hot even in standby mode

my byond box has acquired a few accessories along the way such as tesco HDMI cable and laptop USB cooling pad, so far running smoothly

hot is good? if you said so

on my book, running hot in standby is bad

any TV that has PAL system can be used with byond


LG 42PQ30R got PAL system, so no problem

for HD video, it got 50p, so no problem

probably jump-ship to unify

channel 110 probably encoded in mpeg2, so that even old decoder can receive the signal

I manage to switch on the english subtitle

for subtitle, press this button, some malay movies even got malay subtitle

all movies in fiestaHD seems to have subtitle, did you select subtitle language after you pressed the button?
screen capture below are from the same movie, but with different subtitle

on my byond, english and malay subtitle, no problem, no chinese sub though

low quality handphone camera

astro has reserved and paid for the 6 transponders out of 12 on-board measat 3A, has astro used up all the transponders already? they should have enough capacity for broadcasting 30 mpeg4 HD channels, currently they are only using half of the total capacity

you could be right, astro may have sub-let their share of transponders to other broadcaster, so bad news guys, no more new HD channels from astro until new satellites are launched

you want byond in 1080p, sure can no problem, just set your byond in 1080i and your Full HD TV will de-interlace it to 1080p
