starhub's advertisement is very effective subscriber is actually defending that cable company, even though they have to pay exorbitant amount to watch bola

I have just requested for Beyond to be installed. Astro told me that the installation is free if I swapped the decoder, remote controller and the satellite dish. However if I intend to keep the decoder and remote I have to pay RM100 for the installation.

Is there any use if I keep the decoder? Can I bring to another room or another house to watch Astro if I keep the decoder? If there is no use for it then I might as well swap them for a free installation of Beyond.

Your advice is much appreciated.

I had do that... but, when I change the audio settings to DD.. it just quiet and nothing sound is produce, its just on HD ... My tv brands is Haier

Sharpy,

Just let go of teh decoder lah. No point keeping it. The new B.yond Box is paired with the SMC. That means the card can't be used with any other box. If you keep as a spare also no use. If sell outside also people will only buy it for RM30-RM50. No reason to keep if you ask me.

Your TV can't decode DD 5.1. What he meant is for AVR

AVR?

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.

Seem like your HTiB doesn't have digital coax input, right?
If so, you can't. DD 5.1 can only connect using HDMI or digital coax output from byond decoder

off topic a bit.....

anybody knows how to open technician manual for sammy plasma????i want to try playing with the "showroom setting"...tq

but HDMI only for output, no HDMI input right.

You need something like this

but as a input in your HT

This spec dont mention it capable input. Please check audio input at the back ur pioneer and list down here.
Or u can snap a clear picture for us to clarify.

I've bought the Samsung LCD tv and subscribe the byond promotion. Now I've been waiting for 2 weeks for Astro to call me up for the installation appointment. Then I call Astro callcentre and they informed me that no such order for my home installation. Yikes... then I call the shop and they mentioned need to send to their HQ first and then to Samsung bla bla bla. Then I call Samsung careline and they informed me that dealer cans end the byond order directly to Astro. D@mn it. For those wanna see World Cup in HD, better apply byond yourself and followup with Astro.... not much time my fren to ding-dong with the electrical retailer shops. Save the RM240 on other cheaper models or just ask the shop to lower the Samsung price without the byond promo... i believe they can lower it by RM100 to RM150.
