QUOTE(AjkR06 @ May 28 2010, 10:27 PM) Probably this is the new Astro PVR feature... Have i read this before? Nevermind... Taken from THE STAR ONLINE, article date : 21 November 2009 Original article link : http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...mp;sec=business " The PVR, coupled with an improved electronic programme guide, will help to ensure there’s always something for subscribers to watch. The PVR has a pause, stop, rewind and forward functionality, and subscribers can programme ahead what TV show to record. Rohana says the PVR has a hard disk storage of 160 hours. On the differences between the latest PVR system and its predecessor, the discontinued Astro Max, she says: “This will be the first deployment of a new kind of PVR with many of the world’s largest broadcasters to follow Astro throughout 2010. In order to bring this next-generation PVR, Astro has fully licensed all the best-in-class technologies to deliver the world’s best PVR experience. This is a key difference to the Astro Max.” Rohana says Astro is also working with all its channel providers and “fundamentally shifting its infrastructure to ensure that the PVR accurately records the programmes you want and provides detailed information around them.” Another difference from the Astro Max system is the push functionality, which can be used as an up-selling tool for Astro. “If I know you like CSI, I can download on a push basis the whole Season 200 of CSI and put it on your box. When you come home, I can say: ‘Hey, guess what? I have the whole Season 200 of CSI. Do you want to buy it?’ So, either you decide what you want to record, or we intuitively try to cater to what you want,” she says. Astro is planning a major drive to change its relationship with customers from a transactional relationship to “a real relationship,” she says. “We will understand what you like. If you like Oasis (an Astro channel with programming catering to Islamic values) and you plan to perform the haj, we’ll download a whole series on ibadah haji onto your box. And there’ll be a message that says we’ve downloaded this series of 12 episodes and asks you whether you want it.” The HD set-top boxes, to be introduced by year-end, will only be for HD, but an external hard disc for PVR can be added. Next year it will introduce HD/PVR set-top boxes.   |

QUOTE(TallJustin @ May 30 2010, 04:25 PM) 2) is the a new decoder with in built PVR. it's got 2 tuners so allows recording of 2 simulateous shows and if I've got this rigth playback of a 3rd all at the same time. Personally I've not tested this box. What does that mean? It will require a special dual LNB that naturally have 2 cables coming to the box to feed the two tuners. |
