QUOTE(Jack28HT @ Dec 14 2009, 03:53 PM) Just called Astro and was told to wait till next year for their recordable version to replace my AstroMAX. Not sure if it's going to be a new decoder box or just with new firmware to support recording to external harddisk. I was told that they have to transfer my account to Astro B.yond (new smartcard) if I upgrade now. This means that I will not be able to view with AstroMAX even if I get to keep the existing AstroMax setups, unless I subscribe for an additional standard account. the reason why i want 2 keep my current max...just 2 experiment . sloting new smart card [ in existing max slot] , otherwise give 2 my neighbour !BTW, looks like the current decoder is a customized version of PACE satellite receiver with USB port which Astro claims is going to be the first in the world to support video recording to external harddisk.. PACE DS830 |

QUOTE(seed80 @ Dec 27 2009, 05:39 AM) sigh...why so many problems with the decoder..... mine,installer did their job yterday morning( after 10 days waiting)...they did properly. use device to detect the signal ,just 5 minute to activate my accnt.hope when i get mine installed it'll be a smooth wth no systeminstallation and activation..    they told me astro assign them..1(subscrbs) and another not at same location, so they have to wait next assign to group and do installation one shot for certain location. HD channel are so good in term of video and audio, less channel( just the issue ) but SDchannel is BAD compared wth old decoder. technically speaking HDMI cnnction is better than analog cnnction but wth byond the fact is twisted.( my old MAX just S-VIDEO but good in PQ qlty ) ...SO BYOND NOT FOR SD CHANNEL !! i hope astro add more channel in HD as soon as possible . |

QUOTE(AjkR06 @ Dec 27 2009, 03:01 PM) astro really can "control" us with this new byond box... i used component cable,try lower HDMI setting(576p/i) as well......but no SD CHANNEL improvement.and when i saw RTM1 just now, the picture quality seems so.... too many ghosting and flickering effect when see it in front of TV.... is that mean that i should buy component cable to watch SD channel instead using HDMI... or I need to set HDMI output from originally 720p to just 576i or 576p? hopefully after future firmware update, it will be OK.... |

QUOTE(neb @ Dec 28 2009, 07:31 PM) I didn't press for more info because I am not interested to keep old card, I just want to conform with astro about paying RM80 to keep old stuff, yet they tell about paying more to keep old smart card, you can call astro 1-300 number to enquire for more insight. i decided to keep my old max...i paid rm 80.00 to installer. they just take away my old smart card..CS told me subscribers did not allow to activate 2 decoder for 1 accnt |
