I guess that's because it reserve 100GB for VOD function..

Hmm.. one other question, with Byond PVR, can I extend the recording. Like this, if the program ends on 10.00pm based on EPG, but I wanna to extend that to 10.10pm.., can or not? Max can do like that.... so, I wonder if Byond PVR can do it or not. Sorry if I ask the noob question. Already read the PVR FAQ, but it didn't state any about that...

look again in the FAQ , there's a start & end recording extension function

you can be sure od that Justin! We Malaysians like to complain. Looking at what is happening, you beeter go apply for a job in MCMC they will need more people.

Yeah,today morning updated to 2.0.0.001 May 15 2010

astro pvr will be more useful, watch one channel and record the other. if using ext. hdd, which can only record the current channel u watching then no point in paying the rm5, just use the video out to record using PC via encorder. Just my 2 sen worth..

anybody know what is the likely cause of my problem?

could it be concealed cabling?

the signal strength and signal quality is decent though... would concealed cabling cause the decoder to hang?

can't record HD quality that way, you'll get downscaled.

I just ordered the new Astro PVR Boxed

true, is there any recorder that can accept HDMI as input?? then can record in HD....???

Only 500GB - 100hrs of HD recording, not even enough to record all World Cup match. If you use byond with ext HDD, you can add another HDD

There is recorder with HDMI input, but you can't record from byond HDMI output, it's protected with HDCP

Your argument here cancels each other out. I wouldn't need an upgradeable because I have a ___ device yet I can't transfer any of the recordings from B.yond to my ____ device to free up the HDD space. Essentially, what I delete will be lost forever and I'm supposed to be happy with that.

Regardless of the percentage of customers that would require an upgradeable PVR, it is another feature that is user-friendly. Most people don't know or care that their DVD player can play DIVX content but at least it's there if/when they need it, just like most laptop owners don't burn lots of DVDs either even though their drives are perfectly capable.

I said that about my 20GB HDD. Then my 80GB HDD. Then my 1TB HDD. Those who have lots of CDs to rip or Tivo-ed content would always want a bigger drive.

I know they said that. They also said that 1) you can't open up the B.yond PVR and upgrade the HDD yourself and 2) you can buy your own WD AV HDD 320GB and activate the recording function. 1 discourages user participation while 2 encourages it, thereby sending conflicting signals. As I said, they should open it up so that users can add whichever HDD they want.

By the way, you can't remotely program your B.yond PVR or B.yond + HDD using the internet. That means if you forgot to do it at home, you better hope Astro repeats the broadcast. They should have put this feature in at launch.

I like this feature, hopefully Astro will add it later.
They also can improve EPG to include 'also in this week/month'. That's mean, you will know when the show will repeat.

Do not undervalue the ability to pause and rewind the TV program (and subsequently FF through the commercial breaks)


WHEN IS THE TIME MACHINE COMING????

Hi guys.. Some info about FX channel..

FX is a television channel in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, owned by Fox, launched in 12 January 2004. It was originally branded as FX289 in reference to its Sky Digital EPG number. It was rebranded to FX in May 2005 as the channel began to move places on the Sky EPG.

FX targets a demographic between 25 to 44 year olds. Unlike its sister channel in the US, FX promotes both FX produced and non-FX produced shows. Some of the most popular shows which air on the channel include Family Guy and American Dad. It has a similar format to its American sister channel FX Networks, with a schedule consisting largely of Fox-produced shows, including comedy such as Family Guy and King of the Hill, and dramas such as The Shield, The X Files, NCIS, NYPD Blue and Dexter. Non-Fox-produced shows rerun or receiving their UK premiere on the channel include Babylon 5, Carnivàle, Highlander, JAG, NCIS, Sleeper Cell, E-Ring and Huff, Generation Kill and True Blood

FX HD is a high definition television channel, which launched on Monday 28 April 2008 at 10pm in the UK and Ireland. It initially broadcast a completely separate schedule from the standard definition channel, with only HD contents and without ads.
FX HD was originally due to launch on 21 April, but as stated on the FX Forums, the reason why the date has been pushed back to 28 April 2008 was down to "technical difficulties at the transmission end".
The station broadcasts between 7pm and 2am every day.
On 24 April 2009 FX HD become a simulcast of FX, only broadcasting HD contents when possible.

I have also applied for the PVR as I need the ability to record one channel whilst watching another. There is sometimes a squabble at home as to who watches what. To me RM10 is a small price to pay to resolve this problem although I would rather pay an upfront charge with no further monthly fees. I was told that someone from Astro would be contacting me within 48 hours for confirmation and it would then take 10 working days.

If we are paying the recording monthly charges of RM10, will the hard disk be replaced FOC by Astro should it become problematic after 1 year ( or longer ) . I cant recall having read this in the FAQ. Thanks.

Hi TallJustin & others sifu who already tested:

Some questions really need confirmation here:

1. Is it confirmed that, if we opt for the RM5 monthly ext HDD recording option, can only work with that particular 320G WD model?

2. On the power consumption issue, what about other ext HDD with individual power supply?

3. TJ mentioned some other ext HDD will reboot after long hours, can you share with us what models?

Sorry, this thread is really moving too fast and I really don't have time to read through every pages now.

Really hope to confirm the above before making final decision, thanks in advance !
