My recording service got activated today. I'm using the external hard disk option. The lack of dual tuner is not a problem for me, with tonnes of repeats by Astro, I can record the repeats either late at night or when I'm at work. Just schedule and leave the decoder on. Sweeeet!

after 3 hrs of experimenting with the install (and at my request), my final setup was a single LNB (1 lineout only) with a splitter before the PVR input. My installer had no knowledge of the stacker-destacker; and I was sure that i didn't want to run another cable from my roof down two storeys just to drill into my external wall.

Wanna ask something, can i use my Byond decoder with old Astro dish? I dont see any difference with the old dish versus new dish, just the color only.

I have written many software for donkey years, why not hire me to write a better software and in a shorter time ?

Wat  is the point of  giving 3D when most Msians do not have the sets in the first place ! To me the effort is prematured That does not mean we are agaist new technology, we are against the timing, I feel HD Variety shld be given proirity instead of 3D

Bagi pun complaint tada bagi pun complaint....hee...hee... 

As long  the cable  is HDCP compliant !

U means astro can broadcast IPTV via satelite? 
Satelite stuck with limited bandwidth compare with fiber.
BTW, I think our government only award IPTV license to TM. Kroni 

Anybody know how to cycle through the Favourites programs with the touch of a button for the new PVR ?
There is no easy way now, the old Astro decoder is better in this function.

OK, the core of your argument is about the in-house team of presenters. I can understand that also and feels ESPN is way better. I really hope Astro would be able to engage good pundits but it seems we may be stuck with the pundits features during the just concluded World Cup. Cottee and Sharpie are OK but Abbas and the rest are craps. Serbie, who was not featured at all during the WC, has his critics but his comments and knowledge of the game is way ahead of some, if I may say so. Still, it doesn't matter much as long as we are able to watch the games live although we might not get the commentary feed from Sky Sports which means no Andy Gray. What we could get is the alternative commentary feed from UK. As long as the "heavy breather" commentator is not featured then it's OK.

I'm still have VHS player at my home....
And it's still in good condition.... 
Nowadays, so hard to find blank VHS tape....
last time we're using it to record was back in 2000...
If I'm not mistaken, my father record the 2000 Commonwealth Games on Astro....
