is that when the PVR STB signal is lower, then picture quality of the HD channel will be grainier? Mine is around 45db only for Tuner 1 and 2, but the signal quality is 100%.

their HD channels are all supposedly broadcast in either 720p or 1080i as advertised, right?

just last night after watching my downloaded 720p Walking Dead S03E01, then switch to Astro, just in time to catch the same episode on Starworld HD

As my memory is still very fresh from just watching the downloaded version, i noticed that the Astro version is darker, dimmer, grainier and not as clear as the downloaded 720p version I've just watch

Is Astro actually broadcast in lower res than advertised? hmm.gif

I guess it pretty much depends on the installer in your area
mine installed 3 times, all responded within 1 week tongue.gif
subscribe Superpack on Tuesday, Friday came install liao
then took the free upgrade to PVR on Monday, Thursday came
then took the 2nd decoder @ RM50 on Friday eve, Monday morning want to came install liao sweat.gif
all by different installer, and when I check with them on their schedules, they are uber packed, so many orders until hardly got time for a meal
all ever since Astro introduced the superpack packages

Can you check what's the signal strength from your STB? I noticed that when the signal strength is low, some HD channel quality will be grainier. After I re-adjust the satelite dish myself and installed in-line amplifier, the grainy picture is no more. Previously my signal strength is just around 42db. Now I around 70db.

FMP HD, AXN HD, FX HD, Food Network Asia HD & LI HD just got BM & Chinese subs starting today.

[attachmentid=3127366][attachmentid=3127367][attachmentid=3127368][attachmentid=3127369][attachmentid=3127372][attachmentid=3127374][attachmentid=3127375][attachmentid=3127376][attachmentid=3127377][attachmentid=3127378]

Now, if only AXN HD properly scale 4:3 video... sweat.gif

I thought few weeks ago I already got BM and Chinese subtitles for these channels. BTW, I think the sub is way too big and ugly. Also they don't have english sub as always...

Just a noob question. I am a new subscriber to Astro.

What set-top boxes will they give me (old STB or B.yond) if i don't want the HD or PVR services?

They will provide you with B.yond STB as well. For PVR, the STB is different, larger and produces more heat due to there's an internal HDD running all the time.
