I think you should realize that as an early adopter, you are as much a guinea pig as a beta tester

question about byond with external HDD - is the HDD supposed to be active even during standby? it's blinking all the time...

plug it back in?

plug it back in and turn on using the remote?

was it doing anything while it was unplugged (like updating software)?

maybe the adapter brick got disconnected from the power cable?

ok, thanks!

if you pass the signal thru HDMI the scaler in the TV will act on a digital signal instead of having to digitize the analog YPbPr signal to process it. This is especially useful if your TV has a good processor and makes the SD channel look better.

from the Wiki
Although commonly associated with the 5.1 channel configuration, Dolby Digital allows a number of different channel selections. The options are:
- Mono (Center only)
- 2-channel stereo (Left + Right), optionally carrying matrixed Dolby Surround
- 3-channel stereo (Left, Center, Right)
- 2-channel stereo with mono surround (Left, Right, Surround)
- 3-channel stereo with mono surround (Left, Center, Right, Surround)
- 4-channel quadraphonic (Left, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround)
- 5-channel surround (Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround)

These configurations optionally include the extra Low Frequency Effect (LFE) channel. The last two with stereo surrounds optionally use Dolby Digital EX matrix encoding to add an extra Rear Surround channel.

today is day 22 of my application for a Byond PVR. I guess it's my fault for having to go outstation when the installer was able to come...

could it be Ananda is one of the richest billionaire in malaysia because Astro is always concern about big profit?

I got mine from basement shop at Imbi Plaza. Basement price, rm265 - probably rm260 if cash, perhaps

can't remember the shop name

it's not hard there's only one shop selling HDD in the basement of Imbi

but people would know this if they bothered to go there and walk around at least.

was it a happy program?

are you subscribed to the packages with the corresponding SD channels? (HBO, NatGeo, History)

I have a problem with my byond + recording function; whenever I play back a recording or resume after pause, the video plays for a few minutes then freezes on a frame - the audio continues on. I have to press STOP and go to Live TV to break out of this

Anyone have any idea how to fix this? hopefully without losing the recording of that GER v ARG match

damn it.

what about at a cineplex.. Justin ... can Astro arrange?

it would be freakin' awesome... LYN would be in a better position to organize and pressure GSC or TGV.

Any administrators here wanna pick up the ball and run with it? I will buy a ticket

don't think so... this is not anaglyphic 3D tech anymore

3d bluray discs

3D pron

no I think the announcement came too late for us laypeople to work on it. Perhaps someone at Astro Marketing could have sold this to GSC/TGV as soon as they knew they would be working on a 3D broadcast and way before the public announcement. Unless Astro themselves decided late that they had the capability.

I think that many people would buy a ticket if they knew it was going to happen, but i have no way of convincing the cinema operators, and theyw ould take time to get the rights ironed out.

Sony made the announcement last year that they would be capturing this in 3D... they would have sorted out the public viewings a long time ago.

Such a waste, because the number of people who will be able to watch this would be miniscule. Even you guys would advise against rushing out to buy a 3D TV just for this, and make that decision within 2 days. So it's just the few guys who already have a 3d TV...

Some people can get their act together

I know.. *sigh*

The guy who posted the original observation just popped up with some pix on AVS

I have the DVD+BD digibook (in fact, an additional copy is on the way from an Amazon preorder), but still waiting on my BD player hehe

Anyway the DVD seems fine PQ and SQ wise both excellent. Except that - for me - mixing-wise, I kinda liked how the center channel is largely silent on Arriving Somewhere. On Anesthetize Steven's voice is in the center channel but the clear channel separation sometimes makes him sound isolated.

If you have not got the disc yet, you can use my BD disc - let me know
