It depends on the situation:

If the SD channel is a letterboxed 16:9 like History, Discovery Channel etc. use LB expand
If the SD channel is in 4:3, use pillarbox
If the SD channel is in 16:9 stretched to 4:3, use fit-to-screen

But the default setting is always pillarbox and adjust accordingly depending on the show's format

Can't Astro provide a package which only has all HD channels ?
I would subscribe that only. Let's name it SuperPack HD

Yeah, bcuz i'm only missing zhi zun HD in my HD lineup!

Anyone here can recommend me a contact to upgrade to beyond pvr?

I used a forumer here cam40729

I did contact him, but he only does normal beyond. I'm looking to get beyond pvr

ask for 'cable' ar!!!!

Just got my mail from Astro:

If stick with old selection packages: RM157.95 (RM146.95 before)
With current SP1: RM114.50

I wonder why my bill was lower than i expected? I though SP1 included PVR charge of RM10, right?

Hmm, I just called astro last night, about the price they did not confirm yet, still on discusion as per what cs said, I upgraded to superpack package right away can watch. My question this package include the pvr function right?

If I opted not to have the pvr decoder, do u think is waste?

i think u r among the minority who thanks astro from the price issue rite...

I think yes,cos u still lose RM10 recording fee !Just take it pal !

Folks, I'm trying to set my universal remote to use the Byond box, does any one knows what the new box brand or the search code?

Hi All need help,

Need to get some technical advice from you guys here. I've a SD Box and 2 TV (1 down stair with decoder and 1 up stair without decoder using COAXIAL cable to receive the signal). I'm also using the IR LINK box at up stair to let me remote control my down stair decoder.

I've a plan to upgrade to Astro Beyond but I've a concern here. If I switch to HD Box can i know the above setup still working?

OK I found the brand of Byond is PACE, anyone has manage to use your remote to control the box?

My father just upgraded to beyond PVR but only videos are coming out but no audio..should i report back to Astro or it's a setup problem? The connection is just a straight forward HDMI to TV that's all..thanks

Edit: It works now...just need a reboot and now it works

Audio out = stereo and not digital maybe because ur tv can't decode dolby digital audio
