IT is incorrect to say that BIG
TV will not be offering HD channels simply because the STB doesnt have HDMI.
The STB does have component out, and Component cables are capable of delivering content in HD to the TV. Whether the BIG TV STB is capable of doing it is another thing.
Also, there are rumours on other discussion forums that the USB port (which is not active yet, and perhaps will be activated through a future firmware upgrade) will serve as the connection port for pen drives, HDDs or some Reliance proprietary storage drive to act as a DVR.
However, the cutomer care is too dumb to confirm or guide on these matters. :ashamed:
Could anyone tell me if there is a big difference between using component and composite cables? It seems no one experiments with cables or settings.
well i am pretty sure its not HD capable,HD stb cost from 4000 upwards,the STB had less hanging issues when the user interface and menus were of a single color ,only after they updated the software and firmware to the existing multi color one did the STB started to freeze,hang etc.
but when u manually reset the STB it give a message "WARNING ALL THE CONTENT IN DVR WILL BE LOST", this message however is no longer shown because of the new software update.so the usb port is for the DVR.
