The comparison table between the Byond PVR and Byond was missing..

i might have missed it, the new FAQ does not say that you need to subscribe to that package to watch previous recordings. the old FAQ states that if you are not subscribed to the package, you cannot watch old recordings.

ok,i am using 18measat now, can see the signal, but why is it defasultd to User defined 1?? my other 2 byond also same User Defined 1..... strange, last time before the software upgrade, user defined 1 also can see the signal...strange..

so, should I upgrade the new astro byond PVR or just use the 'normal' byond one??

Added on June 2, 2010, 11:08 pmno, i mean, should i upgrade my byond decoder to byond pvr?

I'm pretty sure we are getting it in 4:3 out of Singapore. the BBC does have a wide screen feed but I don't think we are taking it in.

1- Just plug HDMI cable from decoder to your AVR
2- Change Audio settings at decoder to 5.1 Dolby Digital
3- Done.

Your will experince best 5.1 audio only on NGC HD. Good luck..

Called Astro to subscribe to NORMAL Byond not Byond PVR, the Astro guy said need to pay RM300 to install.. betulkah?

RM300 is only for new Byond PVR decoder and not for Byond EHDD PVR. CS make a joke I think.

The things that I'd be interested in recording are not the same as yours. If I like a movie, I'd buy the BD or DVD from Amazon or Speedy. I don't download movies.

What I can't download are the full recording of last year's Grammy Awards, Oscars or Tony Awards. I can't download the NGC HD/History HD specials. Most importantly once the local HD channel comes in, you can't re-download local HD content once you delete it.

I'm not asking that B.yond be a media player even though it really isn't hard considering the SOC solution in the box. But I would prefer that the HDD criteria be left open. Things like Wifi (which would enable B.yond programming via the internet using your laptop or PDA) should not be an afterthought. When Proton first launched Saga, they didn't say, "We know developed countries have make seat belts and car stereos standard but we'll put them in our cars three years from now."

I also would like for Astro to allow the off-loading of content to the PC via wifi or LAN. Tivo has done it for years and Hollywood still hadn't collapse.

Please state your "pioneer home system" model number so that we can help you. Provide PDF links to the manual would be helpful.

That would be the best course of action, if you want recording capability. It would require wiring in two cables and installing a new LNB receiver.

I disagree. The Pacific as well as other HD movies in DD 5.1 sounded good on HBO HD.

Things may have changed but last we heard, from regular Astro to B.yond it's free. If you're from B.yond to B.yond PVR, it's RM300. If you're from regular to B.yond PVR, it's RM400.


fuad

that CS say its da same PVR or normal, need to pay RM300 jugak. then the CS say the PVR need to add up RM10

Below recommended size, that's why cannot work?

Well, my WD HDD is 750Gb, so, should be working, right?

Nope.. Only WD My Passport AV 320GB being recognised by Byond at the moment...

SD channel on B.yond also use MPEG4, right?

WD My Passport AV 320GB is designed for Video use,
so i think the problem is not the storage,
but the supported 'format' or technology on the HDD,
same like normal pendrive cannot use U3 software too.

jz my 2 cents.

i just bought aqous lcd with 100/120 hz resolution. through hdmi connection, it indicates I'm getting my byond at 1080i with 50hz. does that mean im getting a lower resolution in term of hz. might as well for me to get a 50/60 hz TV only.
Anyone can enlighten.. thank you in advance

just subscribe mine at Midvalley roadshow by Astro...switch from existing Beyond to PVR...hope can install before W Cup...
for me better go PVR 500GB coz much more advantage than existin beyond ...n fakap another RM10 permonth....
