QUOTE(eone @ Dec 21 2009, 12:30 AM) they just installed b.yond at my house and all 4 hd channels available even thou i only subscribe the rm55 package (without movies and sports).. or.. is it for the promo period until april 2010 only? anyway, there is a network port behind the box.. so i just plug it in from my router.. is there any use of it? does that mean you get no HD channels after april if you maintain rm55 package AND still must pay rm20 extra. |

HBO HD on channel 431.. or 831 for astro sport, but the normal HBO cannot watch, sempat tengok Speed Racer before going to office this morning..

QUOTE(pirateguy @ Dec 21 2009, 07:39 AM) Can you use an unbranded 'ahem' normal old astro remote on the Byond decoder? I don't like having the new remote to be in the hands of kids given how they love to throw stuff. just buy the kids a dummy remote la |

I've got a mate who works for Astro and they have given a 6months trial of this HD content and he's less than satisfied with the HD channels..barely far better than actual hd videos

i think record and playback is use for b.yond max or something, later to be introduce for sure. anyway i do think sound bit low because its now in surround (5.1) rather then stereo (2.1) last time. so if use 2.1 speaker or just the TV speaker, so it become a bit low. dunno la, teka2 ony~ still waitin for mine to arrive~  |
