Get a HDMI splitter 1 in 4 out and wiring HDMI cable to all the tvs would solve your problem. Cost wise it would cost quite a bit.

Hi bro.. can u tell me where to buy this thing in KK.. & which shop u prefer that offer best electronic goods.. tks in adv..

is there any wireless HDMI product available yet.

i want to link up my current living room Astro beyond HD channel to my own bedroom TV (upstairs),

giraffe brand got , few thousand ringgit

Do u know where can i but new remote control for astro byond?

Guys, I have learnt much from you all in this thread.
And the knowledge shared has enabled me to work on splitting my Byond to 2 tv's.
However, I am encountering problems, hope can get help here...

Problem: Just got a AV RF Converter (Yagitenna YT5050).
Connect RCA from Byond to Converter, then connect Coax from RF out port at converter to TV in bedroom.

Result: No audio and picture with small amount of noise.

Have tried direct RCA to bedroom TV (by moving the entire LCD down ), and that works - so should not be an issue with Byond box.
Have changed RCA cables, same results - so should not be the RCA cable issue.

Could it be the converter? I just bought it today and will be trying to do an exchange tomorrow.

Another question:
Saw an Astro Splitter at the hardware shop. Can this work with Byond?
Meaning the main cable from dish go to this Astro splitter, and split it to my Byond decoder and the other one go to my bedroom tv... will this method work?

Thanks a million.

Hello all,

Please bear with me (I hear a collective groan! ), but I sincerely honestly need advice.

Current Astro set-up:

One decoder with 2 tvs, one in living room, the other in bedroom. Wiring all concealed in roofs and between floors (I think!) and I use IR transmitter to change channels in bedroom. Additional decoder for supplementary package in in-laws room.

Question: I would like to run byond the same way. In-laws will stay put on SD. Will the cables run in similar fashion?

A million thanks in advance, and if this has been asked a gazillion times, a million apologies as well...)

Did you connect audio cable (red/white RCA) to your AV to RF Converter?
Noise might be caused by long cable or interference with other device.


This splitter works if you have 2 decoder but need to use 1 dish only, but it won't work with byond.

If I understand correctly, your situation is like this.
1 dish, split into 2 decoder - 1 for you, another 1 for your in-laws.
Your decoder split into 2 TVs (using built-in RF converter or external converter?)

For splitting display, you can use current set up but need additional AV to RF converter with IR transmitter (but I think you have it now because you can use IR transmitter function).

The other thing since you have 2 decoder in your house, you need to run another cable from dish to byond decoder. You need to tell Astro about this when you subscribing to byond, they will install LNB with 2 output.

Added on June 20, 2010, 6:59 pmHah.. I know what's the problem.. Seems that my mastro remote can't change the channel.. But it works on my byond remote..

Is the mastro remote faulty or the remote can't be used for byond?

Where can I get byond remote?

Tq

Hi

need some advise/comment from you guys on the following:

Equipment Used:
1. Astro Beyond
2. AEM8002 AV to RF Convertor

Setup:
I. Sony DVD Player OUTPUT to Convertor using {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)}, Convertor OUTPUT to TV using {Coaxial} ==> Video & Sound OK
II. Astro Beyond OUTPUT to Convertor using {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)}, Convertor OUTPUT to TV using {Coaxial} ==> Video - colour washout & Sound - noisy
III. Astro Beyond OUTPUT to TV using {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)} ==> Video & Sound - OK
IV. Astro Beyond OUTPUT to TV(1) using {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)}/{HDMI}, TV1 OUTPUT to Convertor using {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)}, Convertor OUTPUT to TV2 using {Coaxial} ==> Video - No picture & Sound - OK
V. DVD Player OUTPUT to TV(1) using {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)}/{HDMI}, TV1 OUTPUT to Convertor using {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)}, Convertor OUTPUT to TV2 using {Coaxial} ==> Video & Sound - OK


from the above, i can conclude that:
1. From SETUP I, convertor is working
2. From SETUP III, Astro Decoder {Audio LR (Red&White) + Video (Yellow)} output is working

So is it possible that the convertor not compatible with the Astro Beyond signal?? Any idea??

TQ

Hi,

why i cannot remote the channel from my 2nd TV using the wired 1?

Please share. TQ.

You might need to adjust the infrared sensor to the correct spot. It just a bit right after the channel display on the decoder..

Me too. I am going for this option -> http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry35100623

Hi miqie,

Could you share with us your experience with the hdmi extender that you provided the link? Is it working well? Picture and sound is clear, no distortion / interference? Can control astro from IR extender? How much it costs?

Many thanks.

Cheers!

I bought a rm12 Newpro NP2020 AV to RF converter and it works great. The PQ is quite good on 16" CRT TV in my bedroom. I've also installed AEM Xtra link 2 and able to remote control from bedroom as well. Got mine for rm45.

How about running a long RCA (red, yellow, white) cable from living room byond box to the bedroom tv upstairs? Not sure maybe 10m. PQ should still be ok right? Better than RF?

I've actually tried using an AV-RF converter (because I have existing RF wiring for my old Astro setup), but the signal was totally unwatchable. Ended up returning the damn unit!

So that's why considering connecting the RCA output directly to the bedroom via a long cable.

Anyone tried this before? Thanks

Agree ! for HD video, wiring HDMI is the best solution if you want to keep the High Definition video.
Astro byond is broadcast in High Definition (1920 x 1080 screen resolution).
If you use a AV-RF convertor, am wondering whether that AV-RF convertor able to handle the 1920 x 1080 screen resolution.
Even if the AV-RF convertor able to handle the 1920 x 1080 screen resolution, your TV also need a HD receiver/tuner.
