How much it cost if I upgrade my normal Astro to Astro B.Yond?

FOC for equipment change, the catch is you will need to pay RM20/month for High Definition fee

Dunno if you guys have this problem, but everytime i change channel from hd to normal it will downsize the screen to 4:3. So i have to change it everytime i change the channel! It's so annoying...any solution to it? Thx...
*
4:3 is the original aspect ratio for SD channel

you can however stretch it to fill the whole screen by changing byond TV setting, negative side effect is that all SD channels will become fatter

2) all my HD channel got permanent msg appear saying 'copy protection failed'. annoying la to watch movie like dis. hehehe. (i tried to browse this thread but too many pages and i ended up nowhere... help....)

3) i'm using sony bravia dunno what model (but very old ones la). i see got hdmi channel. but the astro installer connet the red-white-yellow wires to my previously used 'video1' lobangs. is this correct? i tot astro hd should use hdmi channel...? am i getting a low-quality hd channel like this?

for your HDCP problem, try changing to a different HDMI cable

or may be a pin is squashed up in your byond HDMI socket, ask for your byond box replacement

for audio problem, HDMI or digital audio can not adjust volume, only analog stereo audio volume can be adjusted

thanks eMKs,

so that means, the remote control audio from the tv, not the decoder eh? looks like i'm dead. because my tv set was a gift from my brother. he said that tv is meant for display only. so it doesnt come with remote control. all the while i had to manually press the button on top. buying pasar malam remote control also useless since he said, no signal receiver installed in that tv set... adui.. nevertheless, i'll try to do that programming thing tonight.

as for the HDCP, how do i know whether my tv support HDCP or not? and what's the latest firmware? i tot mine is the latest la since they just pasang my byond yesterday...

connect red/white analog audio rca socket from byond to your TV, then use your byond remote control to adjust audio volume, asmention on my previous post, sounded like repeating myself hmm.gif

what sort of HT do you have? Did you select audio source in your HT? DId you increase byond volume using byond remote control?

just snap a few picture so we can do the debugging for you, your feedback through forum posts are very vague

Hello everyone,
currently I have astro b.yond that is connected to the satellite dish in the master-bed  room.
However, i just bought a new 50' tv which is located at the living room.
I am able to receive astro over there BUT d HD channels are really horrible. If i were to purchase another b.yond box, how would the process be?
Would i be charged extra every month/ is it 2 seprate accounts or what?
thanks in advance!
*
byond box in bedroom, yet HDTV in living room, why did you separate them?

put them together in the same room and hook them up with HDMI cable, you should get good quality HD channels

talking about mandarin, the north western mandarin slangs are very hard to understand, like they are from mars LOL

actually current state of mandarin was the chinese slang spoken by the Manchurian who ruled china during the qing dynasty who had their own and entirely different spoken and writing language than Han people, compare to earlier ming dynasty they spoke with jiangsu slang, originated from one of the Three Kingdom slang whistling.gif

Wah Lai Toi is a cantonese channel and there are more mandarin channels on Astro platform too.  If there is demand for Hakka, Teochew and etc, I believe Astro would add those channels in future.  Hua Hee Tai is a hokkien channels Astro added years back.

What mandarin movies are you referring to showing in Cantonese on Astro? and which astro channels then?
*
on-board satellite asiasat 3S, there is one free teochew channel, may be astro can re-boradcast it to us, they speak their teochew so fluently and fast that is very hard to keep pace with them

also one free hakka channel on-board singtelSat 1 thumbup.gif, my gosh even hakka they got a lot of different slang rclxub.gif

Astro is stopping AOD and Dynasty packages after Chinese New Year, due to the debate over Mandarin and Cantonese

LOL are you trying to pull someone's leg? I believed dynasty is astro's cash cow product, unless they want to do this

I have a 3 Astro accounts under my name. Applied to upgrade to Byond for 2 of them last month. After 1 month, they can only install 1 Byond and activated after 2 days  mad.gif . Another account still pending for installation. It is more than 1 month. I think it is a record now.

What is worst is that they cancelled the wrong smartcard/account! Resulting my mom cannot watch Astro for days. Her decoder has not changed to Byond yet. Many calls have been made and yet they can't seems to correct their mistake.  vmad.gif

it seems like astro is still migrating their accounting database shocking.gif

Asstro started this smartcard pairing since they launch byond in Dec 2009 and up till now after 1 year +, I haven't heard hackers able to crack this. Maybe they need to try harder..

local geniuses apparently are more interested in cracking card sharing brows.gif

asto should offer free satellite TV something similar to uk's freesat, where there is no subscription and no contract, just a one-off payment for the digital box whistling.gif

if you are astro customer, think more like what a customer should do shakehead.gif suggest ideas that are more beneficially to to customer, not acted as astro spokeperson shocking.gif
