THe HDD must be a drive that meets our power consumtion white paper for the decoder and at the moment the only one that I'm aware of that does this is a WD HDD (I'm using a WD My Passport AV). Others suck up too much power and they will will not work. THe recording quality is broadcast quality, so HD is played back in HD.
........
Thanks for info.. thumbup.gif

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?

I'm really hoping it can support NTFS format ..... if FAT, don't know how to handle if recording filesize >4G ??
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. smile.gif

wow....june is really a surprising month for new hd channels!!! =D ..but the rm10/ month recording thing.... a bit of a ripoff la...

No monthly fee for MAX before and why right now Asstro want charge us RM10/month for PVR function. This totally unacceptable.
Astro should give PVR function for free to their loyalty customer that already subscribe more than 2 years.

Wow.... astro are really stepping up on hd... could this possibly explain their lame worldcup dancing commercials? LOL

Anyway.. if all this is really true (AXN, Starworld and Fox with a Celestial maybe) i'll consider forgiving them for the torture they put me thru on those commercials

Hahaha.. lame because limited budget?? hmm.gif

i saw the ad too. 5 channels: fox hd, fox crime hd, star wld hd, star movies hd and fx hd. but at the end of the ad, it mentioned sumtin about fox internationals network, so, it may relate to star, not astro  cry.gif
if it is slipped off, im sure it was sumtin intended  vmad.gif

I don't think this is going to happen, or at the very least, it will come at a cost to functionality - say for the free service, you can't do advance programming.
.....
I think is not free. If we buy new byond PVR, astro already charge that cost to us. One time fee is more affordable to me.
BTW like your say, better wait for official announcement from astro. icon_rolleyes.gif
