LOL. Anyone have the opinion for Astro to add more bandwidth?

ROFL! thanks. If you appreciate geek humor, you should be watching The Big Bang Theory if not already.

also the other day I came across Nerdstock ... not for everyone though - the event title is, er, somewhat sensitive. It's a BBC programme, but I felt justified d/l'ding it as (1) it will probably not be shown on TV Here (because of the title, at the very least) and (2) they will confiscate the DVD (if there is one and you can order it)

After french open and WC u will get bored with existing HD channel if astro not introduce a new one.

new HD channel..................

really u guys wan tat???

Thanks for the "respect" but incorrect.


Also incorrect.


Good deduction, Watson.

The recording function of B.yond may or may not come with a one-time activation fee. But it doesn't mean that you own the box, unlike Astro Max where you actually BUY and own the device.

That is what Cam hinted at.

According to Cam, B.yond will be able to record if you agree to activate that function. If you don't, it won't. Regardless of whether you activate the function or even use it if it's enabled to all B.yond users, it is there to be used. It's not like the regular Astro decoder at all.

Apart from you paying extra for the installers to use a longer cable than provided, B.yond is practically free. Granted that you are tied to the service and you pay RM480 in two years for the HD access, the decoder and installation itself is free.

People who live in flats generally can have their own Astro dishes. The people who live in condos with centralized systems are the ones who feel envious.

I don't believe that Astro should be paying for the upgrade for a centralized dish building. If Astro did that, their capital outlay per condo complex would be huge with no guaranteed return of investment. The condo board or building management should conduct a survey to see how many would subscribe to B.yond if the management upgraded the cabling. If the results are for B.yond, then the management can negotiate with Astro about partial investment contribution.

If Astro doesn't want to invest much, then the management have two options: pay for the installation by getting mandatory contribution from each owner of the condo, or release the clause that prohibits the installation of Astro dish on the outside area of their unit (balcony, window. The second option would be a nightmare for the condo owners but it would also be a nightmare for Astro as each installation would take two hours.

eh..i saw a new page on Facebook..

I HATE ASTRO...

hahaha..I dont know what that page can do tp make Astro provide better services..

HBO SD on Starhub is confirmed 4:3, likewise all HBO Family, HBO Sig etc. channels.

AXN HD is a mirror of AXN SD - schedules are similar to those of the SD channel, unlike NGC HD, HIST HD which runs a different schedules.

Unlike HBO HD promos which are all SD upconverted on the channel, AXN HD has selected promos produced in true HD format.

Subtitles for AXN HD are in SD while subts for HBO HD are in HD.

Cheers.

wow... nice screenshot =D !

wait2..
i totally missed the 25th May date AXN HD was to launch in ASEAN right?
Singapore was one country..what was the other..?
n according to bro Cam here, AXN HD available on Astro in June?
with FX HD..n Chinse HD?
Hope its true
Wuuuhhuuu..but i still trying to figure out which package FX HD will be in..

Uh... flats are the same as condos. Flats with centralised dishes will still be affected.

Does anyone have the issues when scrolling through your favorites they don't go in order?

Are we talking about flats in the UK and Australia or are we talking about flats in Malaysia? As far as I know and have seen, lots of flats have lots of Astro dishes sticking out at the side of the buildings.

Guys, have you heard of Astro going to launch Beyond Max which is recordable?

yes, we have heard it...
and we also have arguing because of that thing...

i think someone here needs to do the jailbreak for astro PVR function.. problem solved and everybody happy except astro

if someone really did that, he can be sued by astro if shared out the method in public lol... all their content kena pirated out just like that

oh..ic, sorry for not reading more deeper for better understanding.

im in dilemma of whether of getting Byond or wait for the Byond max to launch as I do not want to miss out on Byond Max once I get the Byond.

I understand we are merely paying for the box rental and HD services, and I can also understand Astro need to "slowly" deploy features & functions to attract more customers. But I still think some kind of consideration & option should be also designed to allow existing customers to enjoy, hopefully the full benefits of Byond box, perhaps with some marginal upgrade costs.

Since Astro has already secure income from the bouding, whatever marginal revenue is their direct GP.
Of course, if Astro still want to make the current customers happier, we'll definitely be grateful IF Astro willing to waive that upgrade fees

So is it housing rule that prohibit individual dish or self-made rule by condo management ?
Any friends who live in condo can share with this ?

Bro, please la, by time R&D jailbreak, I think WC over liao, no important matches to record la .....

If I were you, at this moment, I'll wait and see ......
