Ignore that bloke 'write simply'. He's a bit hot tempered to say the least. Does anyone know if there's a way to block responces from a certain username?

Anyway, back to astro tv. This FX HD channel, I find it a bit surprising that astro would bring a channel that has a lot of (as the government would put it) unsuitable content. Are they really going to censor tons out of every show, or will the channel be a special feed just for Asia with less sensitive programming?

Content for FX HD may be malaysianised, ours may be a Asian version NOT international edition. By the way its dissappointing to see we dont have any international edition of channels our is mostly Asian version.

try this:

click on username/nickname, then click "ignore user"

Alright, cheers

Just been reading the previous posts about the new PVR STB. I may have misread it, but did it say I will need 2 cables running from the sat dish to my STB? I find that a bit strange. I don't believe the astro max needed to do that.

Also, what about if the user already has 2 cables from the sat dish? I have my HD STB and an SD one attached to it. I believe the dish only has 2 connections. Would this mean I'm unable to get the new PVR STB?

Thanks in advance. This will give us an idea on how we could use our existing external HDDs to work with B.yond.

Okay. That makes sense. Hopefully the pricing of the PVR will be more affordable than Astro Max.

By the way, why the two USB ports? Is it just for another HDD extension for other media playback function (photos/music) or for a USB wireless receiver? If it's for the latter, then it would be a fantastic news. Even though there is a LAN port at the back, most subscribers either a) have their wifi routers somewhere else around the house or don't run a wifi router at all. Hopefully this means that users can set their Astro programming through their PCs/PDAs while they are not at home.


fuad

just put discovery hd channel laaa

Congratulations on the new kid

And a whopper of an update.... I am looking forward to the PVR functionality.

Thank god i already have my WD Passport HDD... It's a charm!!... Meanwhile, if the PVR is affordable, i will consider to buy it.... I think the packaging inside (maybe) is the PVR, remote, HDMI and 2 connector LNB...

i really like to watch my recorded programme in my pc... if u insist in DRM, just appoint a authorised media player to play the recorded content.. just like DRM mp3...

Thanks for info..

BTW I have a few questions regarding HDD for PVR
1- What type of HDD file system support by decoder? FAT or EXT?
2- Maximum size of HDD support?
2- Is it recording file only playable on byond decoder only? or I can play it with my PC?

Wah, you already start to teach your baby girl on how to select cartoon channel, or she is helping you on the recording test ?!
Anywhere, I'm sure no matter how hard or tire you are doing the testing work, nothing else compare when you come home and see your little cute angel

And so do we here will support you and hope to hear very positive news & update from you again, cheers!

Come come come Astro recording function

Already page 98.... see, this thread only will active when something new will/or already happened to Byond.

BTW, can I connect USB pendrive (I have 16GB one) to Byond and make recording with just that devices ?

16 GB can record wat

we are talking of HD quality

anyway nice try as thumbdrive wont "eats" much power fr Byond

talljustin...congrates to u...and thanks for the info...

erm, this show that our thread opened by many people to view and not posting...just wait for an issue....if there one, then the thread will get busy...but its ok for me...

wait for the announcement....

mostly I only watch and record SD Channels...
so, probably 16GB is enough

hahaha, I'm just kidding, just wanna test first before I buy new external HDD or maybe just buy the new PVR if it's affordable....

sincerely,

wif so much of good HD channels coming out we wont hav time to watch them, let alone to record and watch later

but if u say, "i am going out for a wedding Dinner and dun wan to missed the good show while i am away fr home", then its a good idea to record them while we are away

Congratz Talljustine... hope ur newborn will be tall as a model

ok... the news of the recording function is a great one... but I want to know if I need to pay for the service??? or just buy a Hard Disk and start recording...

official announcement tmrw 1st june?

refer to this :

http://techcentral.my/news/story.aspx?file..._blog_dll_files

Byond running on Linux so its imposible to support NTFS. Maybe it using EXT because this file system dont have size limition.
Right now only bro Talljustine have the answer.
