QUOTE(anfieldude @ Nov 20 2012, 08:54 AM) Which SD channels are in 480p? There shd be none. They shd all be in 576i (if output from the component or composite video outputs). Well to generalise, american shows (not british and other commonwealth countries), korean, japanese, latin american are in 480i. |

QUOTE(d3ck @ Feb 14 2013, 08:47 PM) I just switch to B.yond HD and I've 2 problem 1. You might need to program your astro remote, please refer to the manual or http://stinkyfruit.wordpress.com/2010/02/1...volume-control/1. Regarding audio. I unable to control audio on HD channel using Astro remote, even at 0-level still got sound unless I mute the TV. Working great on normal channel.  http://i.imgur.com/6PrrMHM.jpg2. On my TV screen as shown above, shouldn't I got 1080 instead of 576p since my TV support up to 1080? My TV is Sony Bravia BX45 Thanks 2. On your remote please press 'home' button (located below the power button on the right side), then on screen navigate to 'Settings' then 'Installation Settings', enter default pin '0000' 4x zero, the go to 'HD Settings' and you'll be given choice of resolutions, in your case, it should be 1080i. Hope it helps//  |

When I call astro yesterday, the CS said there are no charges or additional condition to swap the old dmt to byond. So the old dmt can be kept without paying rm80 to the installer. There is also no contract and it is not compulsory to subscribe HD service. So any non byond users can swap for free with no condition.

QUOTE(jamesleetech @ Jul 5 2013, 10:31 AM) In my personal opinion, I believe that As*teruk are doing this "no installation charges, no additional contract" because they already knew a looooong time ago that many subscribers swap the smartcards between different old DMT boxes. Therefore, changing to the new Byond box will 100% lock the smartcard to that Byond box which prevent subscribers from using the swap smartcard use. I am not offended with your remarks, it is true and I have seen it. Eventhough any subscriber who did not subscribe to HD service, can use the new Byond box or the old DMT box, the main important difference for subscribers who "swap" smartcard is that... the Byond box is locked to that smartcard which CANNOT be used on another Byond box ! Example... IF you have 1 old DMT box in your Petaling Jaya house and 1 old DMT box in your other Damansara Utama house and only have 1 smartcard (1 subscription only), that single smartcard can be used at either of your 2 houses. Therefore... IF you changed the old DMT box to the new Byond box (yea, its free installation, no contract) THEN that single smartcard CANNOT be swap used anymore, hehe !! For subscribers in such similar situations, PLEASE take note !! I mean NO disrespect to azrin_kiko with my remarks here. My apologies if there is any. Peace   My cousin who has a byond box (non pvr) bring along the decoder in between his house and his mother's house in kampung. Thank goodness the decoder is way lighter than any previous decoder. Of course for most of us it is menyusahkan and imagine if the PVR is transported back and forth.But I expect these changes when astro eventually phase out the old decoders completely: 1. SD channels will be in H.264. 2. Letterboxed 16:9 SD channels will be transmitted with native ratio OR the SD simulcast of a HD channel will be repealed in favour of the HD channels to save transponder space (this is the case for channels like KBS World, History, Lifetime, CI, SuperSports 1, 2, 3, and 4.) 3. 16:9 new SD channels will be introduced. 4. New channels on January 2014. |

QUOTE(Qash-M @ Jul 5 2013, 02:49 PM) [attachmentid=3521173] I thought the Movie channels with "Family" attached to the name is suitable for all ages and might be rated "U". So no or minimal censor maybe (except to remove iklans).I assume HBO Family HD on the IPTV one is delayed 1 hour after SIN time too.  |

QUOTE(chuppachop @ Jul 19 2013, 10:31 PM) WarnerTV HD is crap.........4:3 videos/promos are stretched to 16:9....not suprising since they are transmitted by HBO Asia. That's typical of HBO channels. Even letterboxed 16:9 videos are stretched not even bother to crop it.. |
