I suggest you to call "twice a day" instead of "twice a week". That what I did.

My Review about Astro B.yond

1. I used Panasonic SDTV.
2. The TV can be programmed to the remote using option 2 (refer to installation manual).
3. Smart Card from other decoder can be inserted into the B.yond decoder (no HD channels).
4. Component cable works perfectly on SD channels and gives maximum picture quality that my TV can display (HD settings: 576p).
5. Changed satellite to #18 MEASAT-3A and gives 220-222 signal strength with 100% quality.


Yet to be done:

1. Test SD channels via HDMI.
2. Test HD channels via SDTV.


Suggestions:

1. Remove limitations on how many favourite channels should be set (like the old days).
2. Surf to favourite channels ch+ and ch- when enabled (like the old days).
3. Any suggestions you can reply.

installed today after about 3 weeks of waiting. the installer told me astro gave me my old number to them. clearly can be seen in the registration form. looks like astro gave them my number during first registration which was about 7 years ago. so weird cos they did called to my current number to confirm the hd installation maybe this is one of problem for the delay.

one question on the supersport hd....how many hours of delay between sd and hd?

(Smart Card from other decoder can be inserted into the B.yond decoder (no HD channels))
izzit old smart card also can??

5 minute or more...

Yes. The smart card from other non-HD decoder..

then new smart card can use the old decoder to view??

just set-up my astro beyond at 1st January this year, the technician says i'm the 1st who install beyond in mlaka ^^,

great quality view of HD, very satisfied..

Not yet tested as the new smart card is not activated yet

yes sir i notice that too, im also wondering what is that...maybe trying to indicate chinese subtitles available (for other countries)

Juz write out the chinese characters and translate it.

for Film Classification if I'm not mistaken.
Anybody who knows Chinese please verify.
I'm just making a guess only.

banana here, dunno how to write it here =.="

use handphone camera to capture, then upload it here

ah ok... will do that... after i get fired by my supervisor tmr =__+

I think they are sharing the taiwan feed for HBO HD. Is it something like a green circle writing words like “普” “維”?

then who know chinese character got extra service la...haha!!!

If i'm not mistaken,the chinese word indicates 'protact' '護'

It should be “普”, meaning can be watch by kids
