to all sifu...
my current astro is parellel setup which mean the decoder is at living hall and i can watch astro channel at my bedroom. Installer just called my up and i raise this concern to him and told by him that this cannot be done on astro beyond.

Called up astro cust service, confirm with them no solution at all.

Current astro decoder can be done but not the astro beyond setup box. According to astro cust service, the new setup box only 1 to 1.

i am watching b.yond HD using Avermedia HD card, but cant record of course
QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ Jan 20 2010, 04:34 PM)
Ok, I have a few questions. If I'm using HDMI, sometimes the TV will fail to show picture/sound. If switch to composite, okay. Had to switch off mains and switch back on. I think few users here also have that problem. Is it a problem with the decoder?

Another question: Can implement feature to allow HTPC owners to integrate their HTPC with the b.yond? I'm having a hard time because I have a Dell 24" Full HD (biggest screen in my room) + 5.1 kit setup on my HTPC but there's apparently no way to take full potential of the setup. BlackMagic Intensity Pro doesn't support HDCP and AVerMedia HD DVR supports HDCP but cannot support 50Hz mode b.yond box output.
No guarantee. You sure 831 base on 811? I dun have sports package, but see the EPG guide different only?
Do you have a Blu-Ray player or plan to get one? If you plan to use/Have BD as well get Full HD set will get slightly better picture from BD movies that have 1080p encoding. If size matters instead, 50" will be okay.

as far as i can see it cannot work coz the connection i am using is displayport because i am using 3008wfp which support hdcp in displayport, there's no displayport or for that matter HDMI connection in MCE..not sure about the plugin ramchyld mentioned..will check it out tonight.but i can definately watch HD channel using the card , but for 1080i kinda of lagging i noticed, so i set to 720p

Update: just checked the website there is MCE plugin but for vista, not sure will work on my windows 7 64bit , will try tonight.

3008wfp is dell monitor ...my graphic card using displayport also, mmm hdmi of beyond to hdmi tv tuner card? dont think can work that way wor..

QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ Jan 21 2010, 12:14 PM)
3008WFP is monitor or card?

Point is try to connect HDMI of byond to HDMI card on PC  (i.e. Avermedia HD DVR) use MCE to relay to screen and speakers and control like TiVO. If connect direct to DVI surely can one, although for me doing that means have to unscrew/rescrew DVI all the time (plus also need a HDMI to DVI cable, which I have, luckily) and that is what I'm trying to avoid in the first place (245WFP only have one HDCP-enabled DVI and one VGA port, very ma huan), plus I won't get real-time pause/rewind that way.

why wanna import the card, the local distributor here selling the card here also what, saw their booth at PCfair last december
Q: Why third party software show only black screen on HDMI input (Example: Microsoft Media Encoder)?


A: Based on HD Video Content Protection (HDCP) definition of HDMI input for the copyright HD video, AVerMedia application only allow to display but not support recording function. If running with other applications at this kind of input source, the video will be blocked directly in our device due to copyright consideration.

gotta use their sofware to playback...anyway sure can play using their sofware both 720/1080 also can confirm since i using the card already..not sure about MCE though


QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ Jan 22 2010, 11:59 AM)
Kk, try and tell us if it works. Because the Avermedia support I e-mailed say the device does not support 50Hz signal, meaning it cannot support 576i, 720p25 or 1080i50 or any PAL signal. Why I ended up cancelling my order from Amazon (using vPost relay) as soon as I received the reply. But that guy could be talking through his ass to dissuade people from importing card.

PS: also let us know if the card can do HDCP. I only assume it can because the card's webpage mentions that it can capture cable and satellite, which I assume through HDMI as well. Surely if it can do that it can do HDCP, unless Avermedia twisting their words around.

Doesn't really matter tho, already give Astro ultimatum. Will terminate my account by end of month if they don't bring in the channels I asked and the salesman promised by then. Anger instigated by someone at another forum yesterday evening.
