Yeah..it does make sense..that is actually good news..astro ria probably the last ch. in want in HD..still waiting for Star World HD and Discovery HD..

Discovery hd is out of the question this channel does not interest astro at all,and not in the near future at least.As long there remains no competitor astro wld remain as arrogant as it is.

By now, temp HD/3D channel on B.yond:

Ch.188 > Malay
Ch.222 > Indians
Ch.830 > Selected 3D match / Sometimes HD+

Correct me if i'm wrong...

wow .. now everybody can subscribe to byond and get activated immediately .. i guess they finished the system upgrade already ..

mine just activated today.. but i cant access my subscribe packages, only free channel, why?

So where do you guys purchase your coaxial cables? Any affordable ones? So far the cheapest I came across was a coax cable from Monster at about RM170+.

Any cheaper ones? Not really a serious sound lover but just want to connect the decoder to my home theater.

If use normal RCA, can hear any differences?

Aiyoo.. no need to buy Monster la... unless u own a very HIGH END HT system....
Like me, I'm only using chepo brand that I bought from Giant....
RM25 only..... and it sounds really good on my HTiB....
And you know what, normal RCA cable also enough....

Giant got sell coaxial cable at RM25? Ok will head there later.

RCA cable don't give surround sound.

Are you sure? Mine can!

hi guys....

i just got my Astro Byond service.

i didnt subscribe to the HD service.

i have spare HDMI cable to connect. i tried but it seems like its not working. why is this??? does it mean i have to be HD service subscriber in order to use HDMI connection???

Hey guys, after they installed your astro byond, does it get activated immediately or need to wait for few days?

Will you still get to watch astro while waiting for byond to get activated?

The installer fella came few mins ago and told me that lots of customer still waiting for activation. My mum already told Astro that when the system upgrading is done, then only set appointment date with her.

We have been waiting for like more then a month, still nothing.

I think we just gonna wait till next year till everything is stable, then only call for byond.

What we want is activation after installation as what they told through the phone. Not a week or 2 weeks of waiting.

Once the installation has been done, the installer activated the service ON THE SPOT, then only I signed the acceptance form.

It can, only if u connect it through digital output...
not usual stereo connection...

yes..u need to subscribe to HD services to use the HDMI port connection

Sorry for my noobness, just wanna ask currently Astro B.yond is broadcasting at 50Hz or 60Hz?

50Hz. 60Hz is NTSC based (Japan & America).

(correct me if i'm wrong)
