Frankly speaking, I seldom watch TV. I only watch the National Geographic Channel and the Sports Channel. I am a loyal Astro subscriber. When Astro introduced B.yond, of course I am interested in, but my conventional CRT TV does not support full HD signal. So I bought a full HD LCD TV yesterday.
All the while I was watching Astro connected to the TV with a S-Video cable. But the new LCD TV does not have a S-Video port. I need to revert back to the RCA cable (while still considering to sign up for B.yond). The Astro signal feed to the LCD TV via RCA cable is too terrible to watch. Maybe the sample pictures below can hep you understand the situation better.
Expected Astro B.yond HD picture.
S-Video analogue picture is roughly like this.
RCA analogue picture is roughly like this.
