oic.. is it confirmed? thanks man..

coz i'm a bit confused because some astro seller or A/V promoter said better image with HDMI 1.4 cable..

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

HDMI cable doesn't matters because the signal it transfers is in Digital.

malaysia can get "mio tv" ??

Singaporean there la..
Abuden...
If can get Mio TV in Malaysia means no more ugly dishes liao.

Check more about it here
Basically the higher it goes, the more features it has. Like HDMI 1.4 it has 4K support and 2.0 has 4K support at 60fps and some better audio quality.
Pretty useless for us if we don't have the right equiqment and content so yeah. Use the cable that comes with your decoder or buy some longer generic cables if you need longer length. No need to buy all that "GOLD Plated" or "High Speed Ethernet" or "3D" support if you only use it for your astro. hehe
Just my two cents.

are you sure HDMI doesn't matter? if not why when we are using co-axial cable..RCA cable.. it did make a different? the image is superior..
it transfer in digital directly from SAT.. but our equipment to the decoder ..also need to be use with right cable...right?

maybe HDMI 1.4 is not supported by the current Decoder..just like you mentioned..not the right equipment. after all 1.4 only for higher resolution..and higher speed.. 3d..etc..

btw Gold Plated is a plus to have ..for any typed of cables.. even in small accessories such as earphones..because gold is the best conductive for electricity and corrosion-resistant.

anyway, im also concerned about the cheap HDMI cable which they provided .. what version anyone knows? if already version 1.3.. no need to buy lor.. huhuhu..

version 1.3 i think la, couldn't be so bad until its 1.0 or 1.1?
Doesn't happens to HDMI, you search google. Only analog signals(composite, component, coaxial and etc) will need quality cables. Distance does matter though but that's another story..

Yes.. U r right.. Composite coaxial rca etc.. Need a quality cable and distance@lenght does matter..

But.. Im not sure..whether Hdmi 1.0 vs 1.3... maybe it does have some impact on quality output..?

RCA co axial = analog. HDMI = Digital.
For digital 1+1 always = 2, whether gold,copper or fibre,

Hi all, did anyone get this new astro UI? This changed during I force auto update when troubleshooting an error with astro support. The errors gone and got this new UI. But I try to update another decoder (same model), but it didnt changed the UI. caleed astro supoort, they also no idea about this new UI. Anybody has idea?


Attached thumbnail(s)

I am using the same decoder as yours but not getting this firmware. Last time I tried the CH+ Power button method to force update but it is not working. Mind to share how you get it to force update?

for the new decoder its power then left then up...press continuously during "boot"..

Press all buttons at the same time or one after another?

One after another..press many times during boot, as i dont know when exactly the right time to press..hehe.

Btw, that was couple weeks back..today i tried on a another decoder(same model) also couldnt get that version. If anyone has experienced, please share..

Just force update mine. Twice. But nothing changes. My decoder is Samsung PVR with built in WiFi.

EXtremely discountious...really...
