To all those who are using Astro B.yond, how is the respond of the HD channel? I mean i've just started using Astro B.yond and some HD channels take a long time to broadcast, and some even will go disappear after broadcasting for a while. Any of you experience this? What to do with it? FYI the astro technician already adjusted the position of the satellite dish, but it still happen.

jamesleetech, thanks for helping out, i'll try to explain now. Actually in the beginning after the technician installed it, I tried viewing the HD channels on the spot and some HD channels were not broadcasting, no response at all, just blank screen, then the technician said just wait for a few hours and check again and he left.

After some hours, still blank screen from HD channels. I called, and few days later, a different technician came and adjusted the satellite dish and change from 1MEASAT 3A(VH) to 18MEASAT 3A(VH). [the first technician used 1MEASAT 3A(VH)] Then again check it on the spot and all HD channels are broadcasting and no problem anymore. But after he left, some HD channels take longer to appear, fastest is 4 seconds, slowest is 10 seconds. And like I said, some even disappear for a long time then came back on, just on and off for many times. The signal strength is 187.

Using LCD tv, no amplifier, it's B.yond HD direct to HD TV. I'll attach a picture for better explanation, because I don't know much about these stuffs...

It's ok james, I can see you know what you're talking about I'll wait for your post tomorrow, and hopefully will solve my problem, because it's really annoying that upgrading to B.yond thinking can enjoy HD, but mana tau keep having this problem.

No error message, just blank like that. Other SD channels are fine, no problem. The affected HD channels are 431, 573, 575, 721, 726, 729 and 832. Now the F1 race is broadcasting on SD channel 813 and HD channel 832, so frustrating that it keeps going on and off on HD channel 832, so have to watch it on SD channel

One more thing, the images (people, cars, etc.) in HD channels seem to be vertically longer than SD channels, how to solve that?

Hi guys, it's been a few days since my last post. Just a small update for you guys, the HD channels seem to be fine in the morning and gets a bit worse as the time pass by. BUT nevertheless, i'm gonna change the cable to RG6 and i'll update here again.

Guys, you know what, my HD channels problem are all fixed! No more problem of HD channels disappearing often, it's really stable now. Some of you had recommended me to change the cable to RG6, well I didn't change it. I did intend to change it, but when I called to my friend's friend to come take a look (this time wanna try someone who is not from Astro), someone who knows how to handle Astro problems, they said it must be something loose from the dish.

I told them this time just change the cable to RG6, they said well let's check the dish first before changing the cable and then ok, I let them adjust the dish. While adjusting it, the people on the roof said "wow why everything here so loose, what kind of people do this kind of job??". This really surprised me because I thought the second guy that Astro sent to fix it many days ago had already tightened it, like I had told you guys over here many days ago. But now I know it's again a loosely done job by the second guy.

So after everything was settled, all HD channels are really stable now. The friend who fixed it even stay for quite long time to check whether the problem still recurring or not. It's really really stable now. So I can make one conclusion, the first two guys the came to install and fix my Astro B.yond, are utterly useless and can go to F OFF. Do this kind of shitty service, might as well don't do it. Suppose to help people, but actually bring more problems.

Yea, it's also very hard to know what they are doing up there on the roof with the dish, so thankfully this time it's a friend's friend, calling somebody you know to fix it is definitely better.
