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.

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.

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

What he meant is Astro exclusive right to broadcast using satellite until 20??, I forgot.

ok.. thanks for da info... I had check my pioneer.... right.. it did not have digital audio in my HT.... so, i just use the red and white audio in only..
so, thanks all for help me... I will upgrade HT soon...      (PROBLEM SOLVE) 

Anyone who want to buy my Home Theater???? 

got price and brand ar???  

It's official : B.yond PVR is launched!!!

However, got to pay for installation (RM400), additional monthly fees for the PVR (RM10) and external HD (RM5)?? What is this?  Daylight robbery??

Astro B.yond Launches New Personal Video Recorder (PVR)
AXN HD Debuts in Malaysia

noob question, from old decoder, we can set certain channel to be favourite channel and we can skip the non favourite channel when we activate the favourite menu (push 0 button)...however, how does this function works on b.yond...i already set several channel as favourite, but can't find the way to use that function...

Slowpoke. People has been discussing this since the last page of last version. Now only you know it is launched.

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.

Hey guys, we are not comparing but i think the starhub is exccllent
The picture quality of starhub better is better and sounds better. im a doctor dunno technical stuff well but i know how to tell the difference. Sumore no interuption during rain. We are using cable point whereas astro using satellite disc.
My mum in malaysia subscribe to HD. She regreted because one of the astro pl told her got TV HD. Now she wants to cancel but have to pay charges.
Even the SD channel at starhub is nice...but overall i think our price is reasonable with so mny channels. OUR HBO no  delay. The sound better. The surround better.
It's not about comparing but i pities you guys. You are consumers. i think by the time you have 10 HD channels, i think all of our channel is HD and we might not be payin for extras.
Sorry for my sarcasm.
P.S: If Astro is listening, it's not about making money but making the fans happy.
Cheers

Removed. Outdated.

no you can't connect an external HDD to the PVR at the moment, why would you want to?

500GB not enough 
It will be great if PVR can support external HDD for additional storage, I will not hesitate to subscribe then.

you're just hurt me now....    yes.. it is outdated...  thats why i want to update my HT....
for those who want 2nd HT.. just PM me...
THINK BEFORE WRITE 

Aiya.. kena lagi.. I meant my message was outdated on the launch of B.yond PVR and hence I removed my own message. Not your gear lah.. did I refer to your HT in any way?

THINK BEFORE WRITE - I agree

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