AVR?....Alien Vs Romans!

Fuad,

What monopoly clause are you talking about here? Here...

KUALA LUMPUR 24 Mac - Tujuh syarikat telah diberi lesen individu perkhidmatan aplikasi kandungan untuk tujuan menyediakan siaran sistem televisyen berbayar, selain Astro, sehingga Mac lepas, persidangan Dewan Rakyat diberitahu hari ini.

Timbalan Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan, Datuk Joseph Salang berkata, namun begitu, sehingga kini belum banyak syarikat yang dapat menyediakan perkhidmatan tersebut menyebabkan rakyat Malaysia masih bergantung kepada perkhidmatan yang disediakan Astro.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika menjawab soalan Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (BN-Pengerang) sama ada kerajaan akan membuka peluang agar lebih banyak pengendali siaran televisyen berbayar beroperasi di negara ini.

Mengenai siaran Astro yang tiada penapisan, Joseph berkata, oleh kerana siaran Astro dipancarkan melalui satelit, agak rumit untuk siaran tersebut ditapis sebagaimana siaran televisyen yang lain.

Beliau bagaimanapun berkata, Astro mempunyai penapisan secara sendiri. - Bernama

The problem is since March 2009, even though 7 companies have the license and Astro no longer have the monopoly, no one comes forward to save us from Astro's Monopoly. As this rate, I think the one who is second rate is the other 7 companies.

Oh well this is not the place to discuss this anyway.

Not sure about that but based on teh Bernama article, apart from Astro, 7 others were given the license to provide pay tv services. However, non of them (except TM of course) have started operation.

Aside to Meon17,
You can buy Coax to optical converter (if your AVR have optical input). It'll cost you around 200-400)

It's stated on their website...not a case of try or not try.

p/s: I have B.yond with WD My Passport AV. IT's working perfectly. tried with my other HDD...non of them working. Failed verification error was shown.
