Astro B.yond Personal Video Recorder (PVR)
Astro introduces the latest innovative recording function which enables you to RECORD, REWIND, PAUSE and PLAY your favourite programmes, including those on HD. You don’t have to miss a single programme and television moment again. Now, you can record all your favourite programmes and watch them at your own convenience. It’s TV your time. Anytime, any day. The PVR will also be able to support exciting new features such as video-on-demand offerings in the future.

The recording service is available via Astro B.yond Personal Video Recorder (PVR) box and Astro B.yond External Hard Disk Drive PVR.

Features:

Watch One Channel and Record Another Channel
With the dual-tuner feature in the Astro B.yond PVR, you can:
a) record up to two channels at one time, or
b) watch one live channel while recording another at the same time, or
c) watch one recorded program while recording another two at the same time

*Recording function with external hard disk drive as a Plug ‘N’ Play PVR can only record and watch one channel simultaneously or record one programme at any one time.

Recording Functions:
a) Record instantly – record the current programme you are watching by just clicking the Record button on your remote control
b) Record by programme – convenient recording via the new on-screen TV Guide and Info banner

Planner:
a) All your scheduled recordings will be displayed prominently on the Planner for easy reference, and
b) Astro B.yond PVR will also automatically check on the space availability in the built-in hard disk, and
c) Live Tuner Conflict (When recording more than two programmes simultaneously, a conflict message will appear to warn you of the conflict).

Rewind Live TV:
This feature gives you the ultimate control to rewind Live TV and enjoy unprecedented instant replays of missed action in normal speed, fast forward speed, or in slow-motion.
a) The Rewind buffer is set at 30 minutes as default and the maximum limit is up to 90 minutes. If you want to adjust the rewind buffer period, you can change its setting.
b) When you switch channel, the buffer will resets itself every time you switch the channel. You will lose the review buffer and the review buffer will auto reset to the current channel that you are watching.

Pause Live TV
This feature allows you to pause Live TV while attending to other matters, and play it again when you are ready to resume watching the show where you left it.

Fast Forward
The fast forward speed of 4x, 8x, 16x, 30x gives you the freedom of time control.
It is even capable of fast forwarding by 15 minutes interval.

Slow motion mode
This feature allows you to play scenes in slow motion at 1/10x, 1/4x and 1/2x mode.

Well first we started with getting Beyond installed and now its just 3 months most of us are bored with lack of choices cos the Repeat fever has struck HD channels ! We are so bored we just cannot wait for more new HD fare !

Erm, Discovery HD has been known to be false alarm, unless Astro wants to surprise us or something. But maybe it might show up later this year. Astro PR promised at least 10 channels by end of 2010, who knows.

Now we're two Discovery HD channels behind the world. Not one, two.

It already 2 months without new HD channels...

i think Discovery HD will make it to our shores, very soon. Can't reveal my sources.

Congratz
V4 finally...

i think this thread is one of the most active thread here in LYN.net rite?

partly because of that software (non) upgrade

i think its the nokia 5800 thread, v26. lol..almost to v27.

not the most active, it is one of the most..haha...is it?

something I just realised. When watching HD with Dolby Digital sound, the volume cannot be controlled by astro. Only can be adjusted on my AVR. anyone else noticed this?

Known issue, volume canot be controlled when audio is output through HDMI. Use AVR volume control.

Iirc volume control only works for optical and RCA.

WOW V4 dah?

now what to discuss...

Next SD & HD channel lineup?

V4 already?? fuh~~
hope astro will add more HD channel

the volume control for the decoder itself like not working right... not as effective as the old volume control....

can't wait to watch football in HD..
but I think after i install byond at home, most likely i will still go to Kedai mamak to watch football

U think when Astro will have HD channel for Malay drama?
1years? 2years??

I dont think so cos it wld jack up the packaging maybe Ria wld upscale or turn HD ready !

F1 in HD is the best even the source is not in HD....Not sure is Astro doing this upscale or someone else
