QUOTE(munchoong @ Oct 1 2013, 02:54 PM) PCM = uncompressed audio. However, all analog signals (including over the air broadcast TV) would have its audio detected as PCM. Unless you're watching Blu-ray (which has multichannel Liner PCM), PCM basically means stereo sound la. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio in Astro HD channels would sound better than what is being detected as 'PCM' from the SD channels. Thanks pal for the info ,knowledge for me !

QUOTE(Anonymous34 @ Oct 1 2013, 10:10 PM) they will still give you fake Dolby 5.1 as long you're on HD channels. Only certain channels have real Dolby 5.1 signals. fyi, the new Samsung pvr does not output DD 5.1 through HDMI. So yeah, using HDMI arc still won't get you dd5.1 So bro, 5.1 from samsung PVR thru coaxial or what ?

Why dont these idiots realise if u product is good and reasonably priced no one wl turn to piracy!This guy is holding on far too long!  “Why? Because we understand local sentiment and the local context”. No No Chia because you take advantage of local sentiment and you are backed by the corrupted regime which allowed u to be fixed in all schools in the name of education,if Bn did not allow this monopoly cos they hv invested,and hw Najib robbed us of 6%tax from us thru u, you wld hv been a Megatv also! 67 crap channels of yours is nausea infact there is nothing to be proud of your channel line up !

My opinion only.For what asstro gives out the cheapest HDMI cable will suffice..........as they say rubbish in rubbish out,so use those super cables on other media players/3D , but its a waste on astro decorders!  Mostly upscaled stuffs!As far astro is concerned my credit goes to my TV and AVR which are doing a great job on the PQ This post has been edited by smileguy: Oct 13 2013, 06:12 AM

QUOTE(leetan33 @ Oct 30 2013, 03:44 PM) Hi guys! I'm a new Astro Byond subscriber. May I know why the channel number and time are not shown up on Astro Byond decoder? The installers tell me that this is normal because I'm using the new decoder, is that true? There are so many types of decorders out there!! All I know of many if standby it shows time when active channel number  If there is one like what u say then thats quite silly of them isnt it?

QUOTE(leetan33 @ Oct 30 2013, 05:04 PM) Hey guys, I have another question here. Every time when I turn on my decoder, the TV guide always pops up first. I have to press the "byond" button to get rid of that. Any idea how to make it disable every time when I turn on my decoder to watch Astro? Trying setting a Favourite channel and see what happens

QUOTE(leetan33 @ Oct 30 2013, 11:22 PM) Yea, I do notice the difference in audio performance, but at the same time, the disappearance of channel number on Astro Byond decoder is rather inconvenience to my old parents... To me, to give a box not showing channel number is very silly,saving costs but showing thier stupidity!!  BTW about Audio thru coaxial or optical I thought the HDMI cable settles everything,I use HDMI to HTS,any difference then?

QUOTE(feimeng @ Nov 10 2013, 06:59 PM) guys, why I can't set astro beyond to HD mode? I have a HDTV capable of showing 720p but astro beyond doesn't allow me to change to HD mode, it just stay at standard definition. and of course I already connected with hdmi cable. and yes, I'm not subscribed to any HD service atm but there are some HD channels being broadcast for trial now such as the #392 KBS HD, is this the cause of it? If u did not subscribe to HD u wl get HD port activated but source output in SD,this is what I heard  Thank astro for Going Beyond!!

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Nov 14 2013, 11:40 AM) Did anybody notice that quite a number of the programmes on National Geographic and other channels under Learning are actually very outdated. Many programs are actually repeats from 2010. Very few 2013 programs. How much longer are we going to tolerate this rubbish from Astro?  Yes thats true the learning pack is not worth, I hv terminated all Mini packs except for Variety.
