Last time Astro shit said the next firmware upgrade can enable the recording through ext usb hardisk . Now they are selling the firmware for RM 300 . It's identical and looks exactly the same only the firmware inside it the enable the recording

Fox TV asia would be launch on 16 june too??????
woohoo......... I very excited, and I wait very very long from fox TV asia launched on January ago.
Good Job, ASTRO!!!!!!!!!
But what channel no. is it???

firmware update for byond box is free, but you will have to pay RM5/month for recording function, and buy WD external USB harddrive, specifically WD My Passport AV 320GB

MX your post does not make any sense. Astro is not selling the HDD. WD is and the firmware is made available for free. but teh PVR service is chargeble for RM5 each month.

Go and bug WD to lower the price lah...why Astro?

is FOX HD available in normal package?

Dont confuse NOT Fox but FX HD ( I myself confused ) and its preview free for all I think! They are not the same pls note Fox is Fox Fx is Fx

R u sure bout this? Bcos im planning to swap my Max for the PVR

existing max user pay nichts to upgrade to PVR, free 1 year monthly fee of RM10 for recording function

good job astro, recording function also need to pay

Yes, both will be available on 16th June, but
FX HD
Fox SD

Fox is better, but only in SD. Hopefully it will also available for free preview

Thanx now I see clearly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meaning there is no additional fee rite? Bcos i read somewhere in this thread that mentioned something like this "to use a single cable with dual-tuner PVR, you must use a device called Stacker-De-stacker (SDS), apparently it will cost your RM300"

I'm not going to swap my Max if they r goin to charge me additional RM 300...

dat SDS device is only use if u want to use single cable from the dish to the decoder... else need to use 2 cables from dish to decoder for byond pvr...
correct me if im wrong sifu...

Ok... Thx for da clarification

Don't think installer know about this. They must insist to install 2 cables because it was directed to do so by Astro. Furthermore, it's hard to find it here. Also you need power supply near the stacker.
