Wow It's really old school decoder...
It's look like you subscribe with astro more than 8 years ago...

it is my relatives astro. they dont want to upgrade to beyond because can swap card to other house with DMT3 decoder. all channels works are not problem using that decoder.

Ya, it is really quite a good advantage for this old decoder.
But, you can watch those HD channels also?

What I know currently those with SD channels extremely blur (if you are using 40 inch++ of TV)

of course cannot watch HD channels. this decoder are connected with 49 inch tv that make the picture quality are very2 bad

Because legacy Astro STB don't have smart card pairing, and you are free to insert it to other STBs.

B.yond decoders has smart card pairing, meaning that the particular smart card can be only read on that particular B.yond STB and cannot be used with other B.yond STBs. This will prevent illegal card sharing via Internet (CCcam / cline).

Actually all this while, the picture quality of SD channel is bad. But, the only thing that viewers don't realise this all this while is because of the display quality of CRT TV.

CRT TV has lesser display pixels, plus most of older CRT TV tends to sharpen the image quality by default. Some of the very old CRT TVs don't have setting for you to change image sharpness! So, watch SD channel using CRT TV will appears to look good, but in reality the video quality itself is not.

Because newer LCD, LED TVs has millions of pixels for you to enjoy way better image quality for HD content, you will see the ACTUAL quality of Astro's SD quality, which it will obviously look blurry or "below average" quality on big screen TVs.

Still hard to understand? Then try compare like this. If you play 320x240 video on a 10 over years old Sony Ericsson slide phones, the display quality will appears to be okay. But if you play the same 320x240 video on latest iPhone/Samsung or any other brands of flagship phones, it doesn't look good anymore, or maybe just.... average. Why? This is the same thing as comparing CRT TVs and latest modern LED TVs when watching SD quality content.

How come SD channel that using MPEG4 codec is better than MPEG2
If you go dekat2 tv screen you can see that petak gambar

MPEG2 use many data bitrate for one SD channels so astro need to use the birate lowest as posibble to save space of sattelite transponder
MPEG4 compress more data bitrate. so one SD ch use data bitrate lesser than MPEG2

(correct me if iam wrong)

Yeah you guys are right.

MPEG4 is newer technology, that's why you can get good image quality with lower video bitrate compared to MPEG2.

Btw MPEG2 is an obsolete technology now... MPEG2 is invented during 90s... MPEG4 is first introduced during 2000s but it went mainstream among broadcasters and consumers around late 2000s or beginning 2010s.

If you see pixelation (like blocky, edgy image), it is because the video bitrate is not sufficient (not high enough) for the particular scene of the content.

However, the latest video codec is H.265 or also known as HEVC codec.
(MPEG-4 is known as H.264)

Advantage of H.265/HEVC? Able to provide exact video quality at almost half of the video bitrate required for H.264. For satellite broadcasts, they will be able to provide even more SD/HD channels on a single transponder compared to H.264.

H.265/HEVC is most probably will be the preferred codec to be used for UHD broadcasts cover H.264. However, H.265/HEVC is not mainstream yet for now, but the progress is there as several broadcasters (especially satellite, including C band Measat 3 satellite) are already testing on UHD broadcasts using HEVC codec.

But then, the consumer's receiver unit must be able to support HEVC codec, which means the receiver unit needs to be replaced. HEVC codec may become mainstream to everyone from the year of 2020 onwards.

Haha thats why i dont watch SD anymore since i got hooked with HD already

HD is more sharp & clearer compare with SD..
Nowadays TV seems "dislike" SD.. Picture kinda hmm blur blur a bit.. Not sharp

Fox Action Movies HD (CH434) is showing Transporter 2 now
My son asked me to pack instead of going out for lunch together
I shud have keep quiet on new channel instead of sharing info with my family

Hahaha some are really glued to the TV since the Fox Movie channels is open up.. Lucky not so long.. If not die lor.
So hard to go out for anything also

I think must "locked" the channel asap..

My opinion SD with MPEG4 is nice and gentle on all latest Tvs, but NOT asstro's MPEG2

Astro one sucks big time..
Their SD is really below par..

Haha moral of the story is locked the tv 4 good hahahaha

Boss u know how to lock the channel on the byond decoder.. The normal Samsung one..

The old silver one I know lor
