Hi guys, i see that in the astro byond hd page, it says "Broadcasting at 720p and 1080i".
does it mean that if i buy a 51" full HD plasma, i still won't get the pictures from astro beyond to show at 1920x1080?
planning to the tv for parents and they watch astro mostly and some DVDs. should i spend the money for full hd 51" or just get a hd ready 51"? price difference is around rm700

not looking to upgrade in near future, so the tv should last us at least 3 years or more. which would you all advice me to go for?

Put a USB fan to cool the B.yond decoder to extend its life

But who are we going to believe, astro or KBS?

This might work...or not...   [attachmentid=3010276]

well the rm700 isnt really a problem, so yea might as well get the full hd.
btw, i just found out that 1080i also having 1920x1080 reso. i tot only 1080p having it, my mistake. so means with byond, can watch some of the channels in full hd

You know how many satellites serving DirecTV? (Hint: their dish has 4-5 LNB and is oblong in shape). How many satellites serving Assteruk? (Hint: two of our MEASAT satellites, including MEASAT-1 which should rightfully be considered a national heritage, was sold off/leased to South Africa instead of being used to provide more bandwidth...).

Furthermore, aside from at least three dozen cable TV and IPTV providers, they have a real competing satellite TV provider- Dish Networks. Because of the competition they have to keep creating new features to attract subscribers.

Assteruk? Government backed monopoly in the satellite TV market, and the other providers are pretty much no match due to their structure/stupidity, made assteruk extremely arrogant and unwilling to listen to subscribers. MegaTV died because they didn't evolve to compete with assteruk. MITV got squashed because assteruk made a deadly move of offering their decoder FOC with sign up as soon as MITV came out, which MITV cannot risk doing cause they stupidly put all their capital into R&D for a strange proprietary IPTV-over-DVB-T decoder instead of going for something that's already readily available. DETV is still alive, but because of their offering they're only popular among Chinese folks who usually keep it as a second decoder for channels that assteruk dun have. FineTV died because of stupidity of overpricing and not enough content (half a dozen channels of in-house local crap? Laughable). TM IPTV? Good channel offering, but lousy rollout speed and cannot unbundle IPTV for TV channels only. And lastly, ABN is still awfully silent...

So, are those who signed up for the RM155 package entitled to free upgrade to this decoder? I just signed up last month

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.

99% surely. No doubt about it.

[attachmentid=3121165] before...    [attachmentid=3123339] after minor changes.

I think it's the signal boost works. Also, the after picture one is when i selected "user defined #1" one.

Do nothing. Just select it, without altering it.

Do take note that results may be vary...

You have to find 'ur own best setting of it... That means, trying every setting 'till you get the highest signal available.

I'd be surprised if someone else got their b.yond PVR signal jumping when using same setting as mine...  

It's funny, since i haven't modified it b4...

I'm not sure if this helps but my Byond(non PVR) by default was selecting entry point 1 in 'Installation Setting -> Satelite' but I changed it to point 13(measat 3A). Signal went from ~ 170 to 244 but at least my ESPN HD was watchable now. Was keep getting 'Raining, No signal' before that on ESPN HD channel. The rest of the HD channel no problem though with entry point 1.

Saw some discussion before about the entry point before but can't really recall.

hi guys, if your billing cycle is on 11th of every month (ie. Oct 11 - Nov 11), when will astro auto debit your credit card? I got auto debitted twice, once on 21 oct and another one on 27 oct.
