Wonder the RJ45 (network) port is for what purpose ?
Just call up ASTRO, extra decoder have to pay RM20 per month as well. Meaning, if you have 2nd decoder (which you pay half of the master unit subscription fee), you need to pay extra RM40/month. rclxub.gif

By looking at the back of the unit, found 12V DC input instead of 240V input. Meaning external power adapter needed ??

if the installer is patient enough, you can ask him to change the dish and decoder only then test with the current cable first to see if it's good enough. that's what i did and in the end no rewiring was done
*
Since you did not change the cable, did you request that 20M cable from the installer ??

OMG!!! you order on Monday,, but today already got byond...
I order since their first launch on Friday.., but until now installer still not call me...
I think la, astro only install byond first for the user who stay within Klang Valley...
for outside klang valley.. it will take a long time because maybe byond set still not arrive to the installer outside Klang Valley...

I think, you're an engineer in the satellite broadcast...
you seem very known about this things...
and your post also very informative....  thumbup.gif

Maybe their install to landed property first. Flat & condo need to wait a bit longer blink.gif
Me also register on first launch day on Friday. Until now still waiting for the installer, after CS call me only last Wed for T&C. sweat.gif
Wonder to know if in a single house have 2 decoder, is installer going to install the new disc direct to new HD decoder and leave the old disc to old SD decoder since new disc cannot be shared.

Just got my Byond installed. I called them on the first day of launch, but there were a few more calls to confirm, terms & conditions and appointment with installer.

Quality really nice, but now I don't feel like watching any of those non-HD channels. A bit not used to the people not looking "fat" at first. Hahaha...

I stay in Seri Kembangan and I got a good installer. Nice chap that came with his wife. Quite chatty and very pleasant fellow.

Seri Kembangan just beside Astro head office....sure can get B.yond fast mah tongue.gif

Just got my B.yond today. HBO HD memang syok. For the first time since I last visit Singapore the HBO HD logo looks sharp.

Now I regret joining the complain that the B.yond prototype no HDMI early this year. My HDMI connector on the TV has since been connected to a PS3. VGA connector connected to a VGA-to-component box that I bought in anticipation to Astro HD. Bangang betul, the final B.yond set can only output HD through HDMI. Even component output is only 576p cry.gif

Anyone know how much a HDFury2 cost in Malaysia? And where to find one locally? Or do I have to use eBay?
