how to activate dolby audio in astro ? all channel dolby audio or not

some astro legacy box dont support 16:9 SD channel like disney XD and arena.

wow , very attractive price ... LG is it good ? currently im using samsung lcd tv .. thinking upgrading to 4k tv

i more prefer to samsung brand .. you have to look series of the TV ?

same goes with me , since im more towards samsung .. ive been doing some survey , still samsung would be my choice ... but will see later if other brand within my budget rm3k and below

Currently I am using the sony 50 inch full hd smart tv for two years plus. still working well.
no excuse to change.

One thing is that the 'free' 4k content is still quite limited. And full hd content is also quite acceptable given its quality.

But I can say that tv is really getting cheaper and cheaper. the later to buy the better spec of tv can get and again cheaper.

Only HD channels has Dolby audio.

To enable Dolby 5.1, press home>Settings>Digital Audio

Change "Stereo (Analogue and Digital)" to "Dolby Digital 5.1 (Digital only)". Press ok button to save changes.
After this, only HDMI or Digital Audio port (Optical or Coaxial) will output as Dolby 5.1 whenever you tune to HD channel. RCA output or if your device unable to support Dolby audio, it will be muted whenever you tune to HD channels.

Whenever you're experiencing no sound when watching HD channels, you need to change back to Stereo.

oh thanks for the info..

seriously was thinking automatic use B.yond Box mean HD service included because last time upgrade from Sliver to B.yond, comes with HD service together..

yes. that's the problem,.

seriously why can Astro change all those legacy box to B.yond for free... (but with renew contract as usual )
so win win situation right..

Many years ago, it is compulsory to subscribe HD service if you upgrade your STB to B.yond box. But after that, it is optional although they will still recommend you to subscribe HD in the excuse of better viewing experience.

Promotions of upgrading Astro boxes are always changing. Last time it is used to be free upgrade from legacy boxes to Byond boxes. Now the installation fee is chargeable of either RM50 if subscribe HD, or RM150 if did not subscribe HD.

Since legacy boxes has discontinued, any new Astro subscribers will get Byond box right away, so that they can enjoy HD channels.

marketing strategy

It's because of the old astro box..
Also I think because it's cheaper.. So safe cost

Well some electronic shop do have the old silver box..
But u needs to pay rm100 for it..
Warranty I think just 1 months only

me still 40" full hd lcd tv wait for mid this year to get better specs 2016 model at reasonable price , worth upgrade

Got pictures? I only late in the astro game because I started since 2006 which is not legacy enough.

Ic 40inch indeed can upgrade...😜

Even 50inch now I find it is just minimally acceptable.

And very soon 60 inci will be the new minimal standard like 22 to 24 for computer LCD hahahaha
