Ok... Thanks for your explaination..... 
I really appreciate it.....

there is such product. but it'll cost a bomb.

Okay I called them.

They have 4 HDMI ports so no need splitter and you can connect up to 4 TV. According to them, HDMI wiring will be provided up to 20 feet. Extra 1 feet = RM 2.50.

Hard to believe the decoder got 4 HDMI ports.
The 20 feet wiring is the coaxial cable, not HDMI.

I'll take the picture but please bear in mind that my camera is not HD.
It has this audio output:

HDMI

SPDIF Coaxial

Stereo Red and White Composite output

Pls take notice that there is NO OPTICAL OUTPUT.

i hope they lay their hands off these hd channels from censorship (referring to HBO)... else its a big waste... censored hd channels =__=

p/s: I got a unit with me. Wanna see the video and pic? BEG. Muahahahaha.  I'll post if I'm not lazy.

Is the 'Smart'card slotted all the way in or does it juts out like that?

T.T i prefer optical output

btw, is coaxial cable be given?

dream on.
what is the manufacturer and model number please... need to check on Harmony support

Wat do u think?
Oiyoo u sure u call them?
Nope
I don't think it got harmony support yet.

If he knows he don't need to ask la, what a douchebag. 

That's what I thought. Becuase HDMI cables are impossible to be that cheap. : /

BTW, Devil, you subscribing? Can help me ask your technician who help you install? The Astro hotline half-past-six lah.

sorry if you find the code reduces your viewing experience, but we will still have to put it there as part of the security measure. Thanks for understanding!

If you are new to Astro and would like to get the new Astro B.yond Box and subsequently view the High-Definition channels, you will have to sign up for the current Astro standard definition packages while we process your application for Astro B.yond. In the meantime, you will receive a standard definition Astro decoder. Once the Astro B.yond Box is available, we will call you to arrange for an exchange.

I called Astro, they said it is compulssory to take back the old decoder and dish and replace with new one. They said can't keep your old dish and decoder.
