Correct at press time.

Can the decoder record already?

Not worth if Malaysia not qualify to semi 

H1N1 is around the corner

Astro exploring more targeted advertising using set-top box data       

Tan said Astro would be launching its personal video recorder or digital video recorder (DVR) services this month.

i doubt it's fat format.. could be EXT3 (Linux format)

AIYOOOOOO..
I think the earlier forumer her misunderstood the Astro statement la..about launching personal video recorder (PVR)
It clearly states that its PVR SERVICE..
so it should be the Byond recording capabilities
Some here misunderstood that astro were gonna launch a new set of PVR..
Dont think thats right

In other words, u can use the recording functions on Byond this month - according to Astro statement

Just a waste 
Byond recorded video might be protected by DRM while DVD recorder is not. But you can only get SD resolution by using external recorder unless you're using something like HDFury2 as one of forumer here posted back in V3.

First ever local HD program is Thomas & Uber Cup.  Hopefully it not upscaled version. 

We won't know until the recording capabilities of B.yond launches. But even IF (major if) B.yond DVR launches with SD recording only, that's still better than a separate DVD recorder in that you can program B.yond to change channels automatically. The only good thing that I could think of for a DVD recorder is that you can burn your program as a DVD.

I always prefer NTFS over FAT32 due to New Technology mah ....
Anywhere joke aside, correct me if I'm wrong, I noticed FAT32 performance is slower for big HDD size and have problem handle single file >4G.
With HDD size become bigger & larger now a day, I always format it to NTFS.

So, you are going to by 2TB to record Worldcup?!
