hi guys,finally wifey and myself bought a new toshiba lcd 40inch last week.
when playing dvd movies,sound and movie very clear and great.
but when comes to astro,pictures kinda blur and smurky.Do i need to get a astro beyond?am planning to do so soon.
also,anyone can confirm picture quality is SD is slight better after installing astro beyond?
my astro is conencted via 3 cables thru the LCD.previously me using s cable thru TV set but my LCD does not have any s port now.

any experts can advise me here?
thanks a bunch.
cheers!

ok,but do you think the astro box is faulty?
the installer told me that since previously using s cable,the box might jsut be faulty if using a new one or change to HD.

ok so in other words,if i installed beyond,my pic quality is better in SD programmes?
as compared to the old astro box?

can i view any sample pictures taken in SD using beyond box?

thanks guys.

hi what is that exactly?

cheers!

hi.mine is also using redgza.

cheers!

Yup true.
but for me ,i usually watch tv3,ntv7,104,105,108,501,502708.201,702,703,707.
that's why me kinda picky about the quality tv programmes.
already paying RM105 + 20 beyond.

cheers.

so this means that if i use hdmi connected via tv and decoder,my picture quality would be slightly better in other SD channel?

cheers!

hi all,

thanks for the replies.
i have already suscribed to Beyond.
astro already called me this morning and installer coming this Saturday.
so i will post my findings on monday.

cheers!

gee,now i am getting some positive feedbacks.

installer gonna come tom to install the beyond.

fyi,me using toshiba 40 inch model CV700E.

any users out there?

cheers!

hi all,

finally,astro installer came in the morning at 11.00am on Saturday.
installation took about 45minutes,with new dish and cables.Activattion took about 10 minutes;that's very fast considering the fact some of our bros here took a longer time.Installer even gave a demo and did the settings for me.
my observation for pros and cons/wish list:

the pros:
1)HD picture quality and sound is simply amazing ,very clear and superb- HBO/STARMOVIES/AXN/SPORTS/HISTORY/NATGEO
2)menu guide on tv screen quite impressive.
3)SD programmes looks much better now but of course cannot beat HD and CRT lah.
4)fast response for the remote control to the box.
5)can actually watch all SD pictures in HD on the right top screen when using menu guide although its kinda small but still watchable.
6)beyond box small and stylish.


the cons/wish list:
1) should have HD in other programmes - cinemax,tlc,diva channel,zee channel,discovery,animal planet.
2)bulky remote.noticed there are buttons for those using pvr but if take out the buttons,am sure the remote will be less smaller for those not using pvr
3)no subtitle in hbo and star movies-i guess need to get use to it.


cheers!

hi..how do u get the dd5.1 effect?
connect to home teather?

cheers!

u need to wait 14 working days.

1)what u can do now is just wait for the first 5 days.
2)f no calls from Astro,just call them to enquire.
they will give some shit stories,etc..
3)after 2 days and still no call,call the CS and fire them with bullets.
just say u need to go outtation,etc...
4)if still no call,again repeat no 3
5)if still no call,again repeat no 4.
6)if still no call,again repeat no 5.

ok just keep repeating until the installer call you.

as for me, registered on 10/1/2011,got the call on 18/1/2011 and got it installed on 22/1/2011.
In between that,call the CS twice,fired them left right up down and finally they called on 18/1.

believe me,dun give chance to astro.
customers comes first.

cheers!

My case? Submitted application to upgrade from Normal to B.Yond.

Waited for 3 weeks and called. Was told "no record of your application in our system"

That's when the firing started..........

The next day got a bill from Astro. They started charging me RM20 extra for B.yond

Called them up and they said I already have the B.yond installed

This time, bring out the big canon and started firing.......

Got it installed the next day.

Now you people try to beat my record

[/quo

hmmm....all i can say now is this just bad luck

bro,me just using the tv remote controller.
for the astro volume,me juz set to max(the green bar)
but i noticed that even i lower the green bar to minimun,it still give me good sound and make no difference to me.
also the sound seemed to be better with the new box compared to the old one

cheers!

bros,by right the installer will call for astro for activation.
the installer told me that the activation will be 48hrs to 2 weeks but mine got in within minutes after activating.

if not receive for the first 2 hrs,just keep calling and bugging them.
not all cs are morons lah,they also want to cari makan.
pity them its not their fault as activation is thru their system not invented by them.
probably invented by some genius engineers who studied and graduated from UITM

hi...am just wondering...do most shops here still sell CRT even if one need to replaced it?
as what i know,most shops are now selling LCD/PLASMA/LED.Now the current CRT is quite limited and no reall branded like fujinon,ece,haier.

cheerio!
