Is it necessary to change the current cables to accommodate the b.yond? I am getting conflicting views especially from the dumb*ss at Astro who says need to change cables. I have 2 decoders currently one max and other normal and I surely do not want to hack the walls just to get this thing. Any of you using existing cabling?

I doubt the cables they give are as good as the Beldens I installed throughout my house. And 20m bare cables does not agree with my decor and surely does not cover all 3 floors. To me they are trying to make extra dosh on behalf of the installers

Past few threads has more conflicting views. My scenario: 1 normal decoder 1 MAX decoder. Cabling in wall and splitter done in ceiling.
Intend to change the normal decoder to b.yond decoder. Which means the dish and normal decoder needs to be changed.
I am trying NOT to run anymore cables if possible and use the existing cabling.
Question:
Where is the split done for the new dish? Is it at the dish or can I retain my existing splitter and just take the single source from the new dish?
Has anyone else experience the same? Your input is highly appreciated.

OK all good. Max powered up and b.yond powered up. Hooked up the audio via digital coax instead of the left/right rca out to the home theatre and the sound is just awesome.
Just like to know is recording enabled via the usb at all?
