Guys i have doubts guide me please, i already have ASTRO BEYOND without HD subscribed... looks like ASTRO opens few HD channels for preview limited time.  My astro beyond not connected HDMI to my LG TV... but i still can view HD channels... so im wondering is it the channels work without HDMI connected ?

i thought ASTRO BEYOND HD view needs HDMI cable, but still can display without that cable.. even normal tv can view just that mine is HD TV so the quality of HD channels different...

So im wondering, once that limited preview ends.. and if i subscribe for HD package do i must use HDMI cable connected from ASTRO BEYOND DECODER to LG TV ? otherwise it doesnt works ?... but how could that be possible we can view now without the  HDMI cable connected ?

That means ASTRO BEYOND HD as long you have HD TV should be ok ? then why some saying need HDMI cable other wise no display ?


tak paham...
[attachmentid=3714126] [attachmentid=3714127] [attachmentid=3714128]
another thing how the setup should be, when subscribe for HD package... just plug the HDMI cable from DECODER to LGTV ?.. no need those AUDIO VIDEO cable connected ?

if you look above pics.. 1st pic 1 single out put come from TV connects to 3 output AUDIO n VIDEO which comes from DECODER...yesterday i just tested connect HDMI cable and unplug those 3 AV cables if any display but nothing.... another thing i noticed HD channels as dolby digital sound...

LG TV has OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO and  ASTRO DECODER has COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO.... both different cables... any chance we connect from decoder  COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO  cable to LGTV OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO.... i see there is some converter to do that...
but im not sure it works or not... above pics are beyond decoder behind components...

anybody can clear my doubt, appreciate it...

HDMI, Composite and Component all output the same thing. The different thing is the quality. For HDMI it can output 576i, 576p, 720p and 1080i. For composite and composite it only outputs 576i.
THat means during promotion your HDMI port is activated if I'm not wrong. So you just plug your HDMI cable in there and watch with the HDMI source on your TV.
Once the promotion ends you just watch the composite/component source don't have to unplug your HDMI cable, so when there's free preview, you can just watch straight la! rclxm9.gif
If you subscribe to HD services you can use your HDMI port liao, of course, unplug the composite cable from your TV and decoder and enjoy watching in HD(Not really lol)!
UPDATE: I didn't saw your HDMI port not activated sorry. Maybe it's not activated for promotion period. As for the LG TV has Optical Digital Audio, that's output to your Amp/ home theater. Not for your decoder to connect. Same theory applies where the coaxial cable connects to your Amp/ home theater sweat.gif
Hope this clear all your doubts smile.gif

Is ITV Choice on astro also 4:3 cropped or 4:3 Letterbox? The one on Starhub looks like this. They refuse to offer the ch in HD.

Help you check it later. Why not HD? Starhub cannot afford to sign a contract?

Want to ask if any sifu here know why sometimes ch615 and ch616 have signal problem when other channels are crystal clear. No rain and sky is clear. I stay in condominium at tanjung bungah penang. It happens on and off.

My setting is non universal with low band set at 10.000.
Oh Btw,  the dish is centralized.

It might be alignment problem with your centralized dish. Contact your management about it. If the management doesn't do anything to it, dial to Assteruk and complain like crazy mad.gif vmad.gif

Is there any way that i can tackle this problem?

I think you have the a setting in Digital Audio Settings. try to put it as low as possible and it will be quite unnoticeable

I have upgrade my package 2 super pack 3 through phone n was told the PVR will be send 2 me 21 days from the date u upgrade. Is it necessary to take 21 days for the PVR delivery. Secondly the tie down contract is 2 years unless u dont want the PVR then no contract.I have been using astor for 10+ years n even upgrade from HD when its lunch. How come have to tie down with 2years contract.

they say you loyal customer "dai sai" ah( in other words is it a big deal?)my parents also loyal subsriber macam u, upgrade to PVR earlier this year also 2 years contract mah lol

is there any good link step by step guide to set 2 tv with one decoder. thanks

In HD or SD?
Do you have concealed coaxial cable or Cat5/5e/6 cable?
IF you want HD and have coaxial cable its impossible to do as it needs cat 5e cable
If you want HD then you will need Cat5/5e HDMI extender
If you want SD and you have coaxial cable it is possible by using AV to RF converter.

yo bro thanks for the reply...

ok now im not using HDMI cable.. just composite and able to  see HD channels for this promotion period, and i saw its 576i... but even that looks cool.... after promotion period ends if activate HD service i dont think need HDMI cable...  just the quality like u saying..  so now in this promotion period if i remove my composite cable and just plug HDMI cable... do you think i able to see the display ?

what cable should i remove on the composite since.. got AUDIO and VIDEO... isnt that sound and video able to travel on single HDMI cable ?

*
LOl I was just joking la. U need HDMI cable. just that quality not that good compared to other sources. And yes you are right you just need a single HDMI cable to your TV as its transfer video and sound in the same cable.

Main decoder sure can watch HD (Unless you do not subscribe la  tongue.gif )
Nope, even with RG6 cable you still can not get HD picture.
That is something wrong already.

If you want to extend HD signals you use Cat5e cable right?
The Cat5e HDMI extender remember?

Change from byond hd to pvr last two days, and i notice pvr decoder boot very slow and frequently stuck when watching. Even signal not very good (error display). Show i call back the technician?
*
Slow booting normal issue. But if stuck during watching means your batch got problem. At first I changed from Pace to Samsung Mar 2013 batch, then got the same problem as yours. then i change to July 2013 Batch after firing them. Call 1300-82-3838 straight, technicias dont give a f***. Tell them you cannot watch any channels so they will also realign your dish and say you cannot watch since the first day they have it installed. They will refund for you.
