Definitely HDMI.

Thank god I didn't switch off my decoder last night.
I'm saved from this nightmare.

WTH Astro is thinking ? Did they forgot that we are paying them for the channels ?

I argues with Astro in the same manner before. Quite useless I think. From the way the CS answered, they sounded like they are trained to get this kindof nuclear blast from their customers. Astro should be thought a lesson and the government as well for tolerating and creating monopolism.

In my opinion, irrespective of whatever Astro choose to follow ... international standards ... or even 1Malaysia standards, they should remember that they are being paid by their customers money.

I'm all for Astro to answer to SKMM !! They can choose to ignore us but ignore SKMM ... I think the press and just about all the media in Malaysia will pick this up and they can't get away with this.

Agreed. As we are all customers, Astro should have give that a thought and gave choices to their customers. The debate here started when Astro refuses to acknowledge that there was a problem and use the excuse of so called 'international standards' and did not reapply the fix or reverse the FW upgrade. In today's technology it doesn't take long to fix this problem .... probably can be done within a few buttons but Astro (via their CS) says that it will take a while to fix it.

Customers got heated up coz they felt cheated and I agree that there flat screen TVs which can't do the stretching (myself included). Forummers here rant coz there's no outlet and when they are ppl who seems to side with Astro then the firing begins. Astro may be right but the customers have their rights as well. Too bad we are in 1Malaysia and they can get away with it. Had it been they are in developed countries, very quickly they have to revert or the government will punish them.

Most of the buttons are replicated on the Harmony. Even the Red, Green, Blue and Yellow button are accessible via the on-screen Harmony display.
I have also programmed in my favorite channels and loaded it up to the Harmony as a graphical interface. e.g To get to KBS, I press the KBS button instead of keying in 303. I avoided using "Fav" coz I still have to channel scroll.

As mentioned earlier, you can use this remote to control a lot of devices - that's why it is called Universal Remote. (IR devices only. There's another model which support RF and IR)

Don't get too excited ... Harmony does come @ a price. Google it up and you'll see what I mean.
