There is a fast forward function. I use it all the time.

i am referring to byond pvr

Ohh... Thank God!

their marketing material mentioned only 4 buttons to use
record
rew
play/pause
stop

just saw Astro's facebook stated FX HD as 'Preview channel' means a month or so later, it will be part of some other package whereby you need to pay extra?

Why can't we have a proper freeview channel??? We should shut down RTM, took out that slot of others....

so, you have sign up for that PVR?
I'm still thinking about that... haha....
maybe tomorrow will make the conclusion whether I wanna subscribe or not...

get it for WC so need not sleep late
but well would still need to watch thru since no ff

Obviously you can't fast forward a linear broadcast, we didn't invent a time machine.
You can fast forward after you pause or rewind or on playback

but if we see their numbering format 701-708 are freeview like AXN to 8tv. and starworld starts from 710 onwards so if it is under starworld bouquet it would be numbered 73* and not 72*

Time now is 12.23am.
My Byond is rebooting by itself and then now doing Software Update

HAiyoo...complaint non stop la you guys...

Consumer fight with money...don't subscribe if you don't think it's not worth it.

To me personally time is money. If I can watch any TV/programs ANYTIME I LIKE...then what is RM5 or RM10 a month?

And to those of you who bought the wrong HDD coz you guys never ever learn...then nasib laa...Complaint untill the goat comes home with the monkeys also no use. Go and buy WD HDD in LYN it's only RM265 the last time I checked.

For those who used to have Max then changed to B.yond already and interested to swap to PVR and still enjoy the privileges ...PM me your details...let me see if I can help you...no promises though. Don't complain to MCMC or SKMM...waste of your time only lah. Nothing the law can do for you guys.

Aside to Justin,
Metadata...get it done pls...can't wait for it to be up and running.

100% software update DONE !!!!

Rebooting now !!!

Can't wait to see your response (as well as the general public) on the latest software upgrade.

are we on the same page
are you referring to your astromax?
i am referring to byond pvr
and of course on linear you could only back track (since it could store up to 90min of spooled video on the channel it is switched-on on), pause (buffer) and play
but it ought to have ff to catchup especially through the commercial break, but from their marketing materials it appears there isn't a ff button

DONE !!!

My Byond has automatically updated !!!!
It is v2.0s !!!!

For recorded programs...you CAN fast forward...as in skip the commercial. There is a FF button. Look at the current B.yond Remote. all the buttons are there.

Well........nothing can be done.........because no HDD......and PVR functionality not available to me. Hehe.

I'm busting my gut over it. Got a great team and you'll be seeing results soon.

successfully updated my Byond to V2.0s
Not much change really
But the EPG is up and running straight away..
No more "No information available' again..
Got Press Record function now on EPG..
As well as the Planner in Menu

aahhh..Zoom mode is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK..!

Now when I press the PLAY/REC/REW etc button..........it says PVR not functional because I dun have PVR yet.

And as what TAllJustin said........there is a new strectch called LB expand. But when I choose this LB expand,it still stretch until the Astro logo or Channel logo GONE !!!! Much lke last time the Zoom stretch.
