Astro's B.yond Dolby Digital 5.1 test

donaldghtan — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:10:04 +0800

Dear all,

I have done a final test today for the Dolby Digital 5.1 on Astro's B.yond HD broadcast.
This is after 10 days of testing.

Time of test: 4pm-5pm today, 27th. Wednesday, January 2010.
Location : Klang, Selangor.

All four HD channels are in Dolby Digital 5.1 with my AV Receiver's automatic source format as
Dolby Pro Logic PLXx Movie. The audio is excellent.

Surprisingly, some other non-HD channels are also in DD5.1!
Bravo to NTV7 as the only local TV dishing out superb sound.

The radio channels were great too.

Please go to my blog site at http://birdstalkingtoo.blogspot.com to see full details. Also to help
those who are confused to as what cables are required for the Astro's B.yond box, I have added
some pictures as a guide. A link is also stated if you want to do some testing for DD5.1 and your
individual speakers/sub-woofer.

Hope this helps.

Cheers and Regards

Sony Cybershot DSC H50

Dear fellow Sony Users,

Anyone using the new DSC H50 camera?

Bought mine 3 months ago. Great camera. Not DSLR but the zoom is awesome.
Selected after comparing (side by side) Olympus 570 and Nikon P80

The Photo Magazines called these cameras "Bridge" cameras because it goes
between a compact camera and a DSLR

Your feedback appreciated.

Cheers and Regards

Combo 5 package sucks!

donaldghtan — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:10:41 +0800

Dear all,

Just need some help. We signed up the 4Mbps Combo 5 on the 21st. March.
Yesterday, they installed and checked our line and say it is OK. It can even go up to 5,120Kbps!!!

Check out speed after installation with TM Speedometer but could not, due to the absence of a 4M pre-check.

Went to Speedtest but found out that the speed is only 98 Kbps!!!!!!!!!

Really kena cheated but who can we complain this to?

I blogged about it at our blogsite, we are really suffering as our internet line is
now dying.

Thanks

donaldghtan

Azureus downloading

Hi all,
Can anyone out there help? How do I change the download path from the default setting at (C:) drive to my external HDD at (G:)?
Have already downloaded Azureus software earlier but it keeps downloading to C: drive which is getting short of space.
Do I need to uninstall Azureus and then, reinstall it?

Many thanks and cheers
