QUOTE(LCP @ Jan 1 2010, 11:52 AM) There are four codes for Pace satellite decoders on my Yamaha AV Receiver's remote, none of them worked, so I spent half an hour that day making my Yamaha remote learn the Astro Byond Pace DS-830NA remote code... it's like getting two rats to mate using infra red... phew... Already resolved to leaning 1-by-1.. Luckily I can check all command wanna learn and the computer will prompt 1-by-1.. so just a few minutes.. Currently testing now..  |

QUOTE(jeanspearly @ Jan 4 2010, 06:50 PM) Guys, i just received their call. The subscription RM 20 is charge permanent but not 1 year, as long as u have HD channel (unless u cancel). What make u think it only for 1 year? of course la for as long as you subscribe for HD. The 1 year is a contract, meaning you need to subscribe at least for at least 1 year. If you terminate within 1 year need to pay for penalty. Anyway, i still sign the new HD package  |

QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ Jan 5 2010, 10:47 AM) Try upnplugging it from mains, wait few minutes, then plugging back. Once plug back, leave it on standby (let LED show time) for a few hours. Mine updated as soon as the installer connected the dish cable to the box and then unplug the decoder and plug back in. Cannot do check for update now coz this is 1-way communication.. Satellite will send the update software periodically. If when the send it, and ur decoder in standby then it will be updated.. If not, need to wait for next round.. Another thing Astro should offer on the decoder: a "check for updates now" option in the setup screen, Like PS3 and Wii. Make things easier. Also, they should put the "download channel list" option. I cannot find the option on the b.yond box. Maybe when they utilize the LAN port, then we can use check now for update.. |

QUOTE(auronthas @ Jan 6 2010, 09:33 AM) I can test CH 18 but it's locked, how do you get unlocked status? Even my default channel 1 is locked too. Please advise. The unlocked is auto, 2-3 sec after selecting the channel.. no need to do anything.. What is ur software version? current one is 23 dec. |

QUOTE(mpyw @ Jan 12 2010, 03:41 PM) something like this That's cheap.. he charge me RM50 and says if I go jalan pasar to buy will be cheaper maybe by RM10-20....so I just pay lar, Toll, parking, petrol & time will cost more than RM20 just for me to go to jalan pasar..... Where he put it? in the middle or near to dish or near to decoder? My cable already got connector between. Decoder -- 20m new cable -- connector -- 10m old cable -- DISH.. I think can simply replace the connector with this inline amp.. |

QUOTE(shakiraa @ Jan 15 2010, 08:27 PM) thank you bro. will off the decoder and try again now. You connect astro to avr, avr out to tv.. not decoder to avr + another 1 for tv..[edit] it works. good tips!!!!  Added on January 15, 2010, 8:29 pm hi bro, i mean the astro decoder have only 1 HDMI port, one is used for TV connection, even AVR have HDMI port also no use because astro only come with HDMI port, maybe i miss out something as my knowledge in HT is very minimal. thanks. |
