I was using an even older STB and just upgraded to Byond a week ago with HD services. A new STB which is the smallest Astro STB I have seen was installed. Unfortunately, I have not been able to watch any HD channels since the installation.  The channel guide will flash on screen briefly and the TV will stop receiving any signal.

I have logged in service call and Astro has not responded.  Yesterday, I walked in to Astro's service centre in MV and was told that the new STB has software issues with smart TVs.  HD channels cannot be viewed with smart TVs and I was told to revert to an RCA connection!  Totally defeats the purpose of subscribing to HD services.

Does anyone else have this experience and do anyone have any solution?
