Two possible reasons I can think of.

1. Your TV is unable to output the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio stream to your amp
2. The HDMI input that you connected your Astro Byond PVR does not have ARC support. Do note that most TVs only set 1 HDMI input to have ARC. You will need to refer to your manual to determine exactly which HDMI input you should use if you wish to connect in this manner

I didn't know anything about ARC but yeah i found it out that hdmi 2 has ARC support .Will try it and post result.Thanks!

UPDATE:
Unfortunately it does not work.Will try and connect it from the digital audio port on byond to amp straight.Might consider because still i have no digital cable.Where can i buy that for cheap?its not optical port btw

Find me an optical port first haha!
And o also need my bluray sound.And it also can transfer dolby 5.1 thru that optical cable.
But i will use optical cable as daily driver as i still want to use my smart hub apps like youtube!

Astro Byond was using the coaxial output right? I'm just using standard RCA cable to have the digital output to my amp..

Won't it sound like shit?

1. "Planner" is replaced with "My TV"
2. There's a "Search" menu (need internet connection)
3. There's "Auto Standby setting" menu

That's the noticeable one. laugh.gif

Seems like you're not getting what I mean or you jump straight to conclusion without digesting. What I mean here was that I'm just using a regular RCA cable(slight thicker than usual) to connect the digital coaxial output from Astro Byond to my amp. On the HD channel, I'm getting the Dolby Digital 5.1 signal.

By the way, I'm not sure how the shift will sounds like when it's in the living room where I place all my AV system. Maybe you can try it out and let me know.. Thanks!
*
U mean like the red and white cable ?
I also have some thick rca cablesit can be connected straight to the amp's black colour input?
Im not so into the audio things sorry!
I place my woofer at the right.
The medium speaker at the shelf in the middle
Sub woofer beside mai tv.
And the two long speaker on the side.
Hope you get what i mean!

I dont know why my bluray player can output dd 5.1 but astro cannot.So dissapointed

Why after my RG6 cable is replaced , my byond pVR sIgnal strength is so still low?both tuners stay around 156-166!But today when my uncle rellocate his astro,i see the signal its 217 on Byond only decoder!

I'm just using the thicker 'yellow' cable from RCA cable for digital coaxial signal transfer to my AVR. Not sure how's connection and I don't think the speaker placement related to the signal. Of course you have to set your audio setting from Astro Byond to Dolby Digital 5.1(Digital only)
Home > Settings > Your Settings > Digital Audio Settings

After all it does work!I played around the settings today and now it is outputting dd 5.1!TQ man didn't know that a cable that used to transfer my video can transfer audio!

Starts 3rd June. Hmm finally AOD in HD... rclxms.gif

9 (4 SD + 4SD +1 HD) channels . Current AOD SD on ch.901 - ch.937 got 19. That's either reducing or adding more "weight" to the bandwidth... hmm.gif

Hey guys. I just upgraded from byond hd to byond pvr just now. I realised that all the channels that were full screen are not full screen anymore unless you manually change the settings to fit to screen every time you change channel. Is there a way to set the full screen setting as default? Hopefully some sifu could help me. Thanks a bunch.

Change it in installation settings>

Hi guys.

I plan to downgrade my package (removing the HD channels).

Question is, do I need to change the decoder back to the non-HD decoder?
*
Byond decoder is complementary now.
They will just disable HDMI port and thats all.
Use component after that.
Warning:Do not use RCA because its fuc&:&g bull*$&@.

Owh, meaning that I would not need to change the decoder.
You mentioned component, what does that mean ?

Thanks!
To confirm, you are suggesting to use the one on the right, as opposed to the one of the left?

the right one paired with red and white audio cables of course!
Though their resolution is same I feel that component is better! tongue.gif
