OMG!! can do like that ha?? first time I heard it...
decoder+dish+and other accessories actually come in 1 set...
my installer said like that..
one day before he came to my house, he need to take all complete one set from astro centre in Ipoh...

I take my hat off to your installer!
Did he bring along the ladder ah?

Guys, watch out for the latest Astro Byond commercial. Only on HD channels. Your noses will bleed kaw kaw! Shows the true potential of HD.

B.yond needs to improve much if it want to attract more subscribers:

1. I want to browse TV guide without changing the channel that I currently watch. When I input channel numbers, the channels are changing as I want only the info of channel only... I hope you'all understands.

2. Favorites function.

3. Info function.

4. Blah3

1. Try pressing the OK button instead of going to the tv guide. The disadvantage is that u can only see 1 channel at a time

Dunno about Oct 2009 firmware, but on Dec 2009 firmware pressing the TV button brings out an awesome guide that can be navigated using the arrow buttons on the remote.

Yes... I meant that i don't need to change the channel when i input the number to browse the TV guide....

yeah mine does the same thing

another commercial???

I wonder why History HD has no commercial break...

wow..i think the pics sample are very good

Maybe not enough audience for commercial to be viable...or maybe no HD commercial yet.

Ah okay. I think they thought the new feature will replace the one removed.

Where you see the commercial? Web or at Astro?

From what I was told by my Installer, to update the decoder software you need to do the following:

1) Switch off the decoder at the main power supply
2) Switch on back the decoder
3) Immediately after the 'Boot' message appears on the decoder screen, press 'on/off' button followed by 'ch+' button and 'on/off' button again in quick succession
4) The decoder will reboot itself and the 'Auto Update' message should appear
5) If this does not work, it means that you already have the latest software version

Please try and let me know whether it works

Astro. On NatGeo HD. It's an extension of the commercial featuring the little girl and submarine, but much, much longer and more detailed.

Can anyone record it?

That's y i tried it doesnt work, i missd the 1-3 part...

Did you guys use a Cal-Lab lightning isolator with your previous decoders? I was told by my installer to bypass the lightning isolator when connecting the coaxial cable to the new decoder (to prevent/minimize signal loss I suppose). Hence, my other audio/visual equipment are at risk from lightning strikes to the satellite dish at the moment

Anyone with experience in this?

Tried it. Had to repeat about 2-3 times when "boot" is showing to get response, but working in the end. Although there was nothing to update.

But after doing that, found I cannot access HBO HD anymore. Say I not subscribed to package

Nope. When I'm going out I just unscrew the dish cable from the decoder
