Sorry for the confusion 🙏🙏🙏

My definition of "upscaling" is where the source content (e.g. HD) is being video enhanced to make it look slightly near 4K-like quality as a result when the STB outputs as 2160p.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, yes, you could say that the Ultra Box scales/render the HDMI output resolution as 2160p all the time, regardless of source content quality (i.e 576i or 1080p). However, just don't expect any picture enhancement as a result where STB scales/render the video content as 2160p.

Yes, upscaling and downscaling picture quality depends on the equipment. Some people pay thousands for independent device to perform this task.

mine  is set to auto,each time I switch say 211 suntv my tv    displays as 1080i while 203 as 576i,it changes channel by channel based on  astro's content signal

I suppose it is like this. If you set to fix resolution on input, TV will upscale or downscale source relative to set resolution. If Auto, it will follow the source.

That doesn't work well on a 4k TV.

Of cos not, the astro dish's LNB is on top the roof of my double storey house  
No cable splitter, because Ultra box only have one terminal compare to 2 in PVR box previously.

I don't know, the problem should be consistent if LNB is faulty, furthermore they change the LNB when they installed the Ultra box 2 months ago.
I contact CS through whatsapp chat today, they want to appoint technician, but due to the problem is not consistent and the symptom may have gone when they come, i decided to on hold their visit and observe few more days.

So far this problem happen occasionally, previously thought is cable termination issue, so re-terminate and it seems solve the issue, but now i think it just recover coincidence, not really due to termination issue.

Astro bowed down to pressure, and will be showing WSBK on Supersport 5 later today, using SPOTV2 feed


So the lesson here? Never be afraid to complain and nag Astro. Fight for your right as a consumer, but please, do it with respect.

Hmm. Can joshhd check about resolution / bitrate of Primetime on Satellite (maybe through TS Analyzer) so we can see if the satellite feed has the same resolution as the PnP feed. Or they just directly use the Astro GO feed on the PnP box?

Astro to gain from tighter content piracy rules
https://www.thestar.com.my/business/busines...nt-piracy-rules
Astro is going to be super busy moving forward, as they'll "test buy" those TV boxes and study it for themselves, and then from there, they shall know better on why people chooses piracy over legit subscription (i.e. usability, reliability, choices, etc.)

Welp, no astro Go (Web) access temporary.

As what I know, Ka band will only be used for Connectme satellite broadband service, with speeds up to 100Mbps per user.

Astro will still continue to use Ku band for DTH as usual.

Hmm. Not sure what's happening with Astro's SMS service.

I asked a few days ago whether anyone manned to watch in TV via Ultra Box cos I can't. Filed report with Astro 2 days ago.

Noticed that Eurosport is no longer on Astro (I discovered this one week too late). So... where to watch cycling (especially with Tour de France next month) ? Warner Bros Discovery streaming platform already available here?

Astro Sports Plus covers them. Go to Ch 817 now.
