It seems that still not everyone having the Astro Byond yet.

When I walked around my house area, I noticed that still a lot of people using the OLD Astro dish, not the NEW bigger Black Astro dish for Byond. Either they still not yet getting the Byond or their lazy Installer never change their dish at all.

When I walked along the same road of my house, it is only my house got the new Astro Byond dish. Looks like I am the only Byonder at my TAMAN here.

So, Astro still have a long way to go to get more Byond subscribers.
*
its impossible that installers not to change the dish for Byond. For those going to subscribe to Byond, please take note.

herm... regarding the subscriber of Byond... has Astro released any number of subscription up till now? cos I notice that in my Taman or at least houses on the same road as mine... My house is the only Byond subscriber..  brows.gif

not like the rest of the people in my taman dun have HDTV... dunno la if they really dont...  shocking.gif (this is unacceptable)
*
A lot! Few hundred of subscriptions per day!


Just that, some people still using CRT, some old LCD no HDMI....some wait (dont know what to wait for), but slowly, you will see a lot of Byond dishes around.

dont worry, your Byond dish wont get stolen easily tongue.gif

Just got byond today, hate that I can't control the volume with the remote control from Astro, and I have to put the TV audio level really high. Also, when viewing Standard Definition channels, the volume's really soft but in HD channels, it's really loud. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
*
can configure the Byond remote to control your TV volume and channels

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 19 2010, 09:34 PM)
guys,

I have a few questions:

1. with byond, can I connect to 2 TVs? Both of them display same channel.
2. can new byond card been used at old decoder?
3. is the old card will be deactivated if i subscribe to byond? ..

I am dilemma either to or not subscribe HD. It is because I setup 2 TV with 1 astro. That is the main concern. sad.gif. any1 can confirm this?
*
1) yes, you can, many methods to connect. Wireless or wired (if you use RF connecting both TV now, you will need to add a modulator as Byond has no RT port)
2 & 3) its not a question anymore as you will need to return the old card.

Anybody used Byond with an older dish? My parents' house has Astro that was installed back in 2000. I wonder if the dish will work with Byond.
*
Why do you need to use the old dish since you will get the Byond dish? anyhow, Byond box can work with old dish, you can still watch the program.

rough calculation:

first byond with 3 mini-package downgraded= RM54.95(3-mini package) + RM10(downgrading) + RM20(HD)
second byond with half price discount(still available?)= RM27.48(50% discount) + RM20(HD)
*
no more 50% discount for new 2nd decoder subscriptions.

“MEASAT is delighted to welcome AXN HD as part of the growing bouquet of HD channels
leveraging on the extensive Global C-Band footprint of MEASAT-3,” said Terry Bleakley, Vice

Right now that means AXN HD is being retransmitted to the Asia-Pacific countries by Measat-3. It doesn't mean Astro has finalized a deal - if they were making one to begin with - to include AXN HD as part of its HD line-up.

From the statement above,
is that actually astro will launch another "Byond" box that can act as PVR? Like Astro Max?
or just software update...
OMG! I getting more confused now.....  rclxub.gif


Added on May 25, 2010, 3:58 pm

So,  we need to buy external Hard disk that is provided by Astro??  sweat.gif

And how much is the price for the new PVR? Surely it will cost us DA-BOMB!  shocking.gif

PVR has internal Hard Disk, Byond has NO internal Hard Disk.
