anyone know if i m recorded astro SD or HD content into the WD My Pocket AV 320GB, can i watch the content thru my computer/bluray player (new bluray player got USB drive)/media player. if copy it out, i think surely cannotlah coz of copyright issue.

Same here. I called Astro on 1st June to place the order for the PVR and they told me that someone would call for confirmation in 2 days. I called them again yesterday but got same answer. Need it by 11June (WC) too.

Can I transfer the recorded programme on my Astro B.yond PVR or Ext. HDD to an external device?
No. All television programmes are subject to copyright licensing restrictions.

My smartcard is not working. Will I still have access to my recordings if my smartcard is not replaced?
No, the smartcard is paired with the built-in hard disk in your Astro B.yond PVR or Ext. HDD. Without the smartcard, you will have no access to your recordings.

When my smartcard has been replaced with a new one, will my previous recordings be available?
Yes, your previous recordings were stored at the current hard-disk and now the new smartcard has been paired with your Astro B.yond box and hard disk.

How long are the programs stored in the hard-disk once it has been recorded?
Except for PPV or VOD channels, programmes are stored in a hard disk as long as it is not deleted.
However, a recorded programme tied to a package which you no longer subscribe to, will remain stored in your hard disk but you will not be able to watch it until you re-subscribe to that package.

ok...some minor question here......

if we record some movies in portable WD that they offer...then we want to share the film with others....can this file sent or burnt and past to others and save back in others portable WD.then they play again in their own decorder...can or not?

I have a question about recording from Byond to external DVR.

My Byond is currently connected to my AVR via HDMI. I am also using composite video and analog audio cables from Byond to my DVR. Problem is when I record HD channels, I only get video without audio. There is no problem with SD channels except that the audio is very soft.

Is there any setting I have missed out in the Byond box? I have tried replacing the cables but still no joy. . Would appreciate any help I can get seeing that my PVR application will not come through before the WC starts next Fri. Thanks!

pls check yr audio settings in yr astro beyond home menu...change the digital to analog + digital....but changing this option will make yr AVR cannot decode Dolby Digital 5.1....fyi, ty external DVR only support analog audio...i m facing the same problem with u also...when want to record HD into my DVR, need to change setting...after that need to change back to digital so that can decode Dobly Digital 5.1 to my AVR.....except need to buy external DVR with HDMI in & out...this only for bluray recorder..i think cannot find in msia market yet and not many model for u to choose...price sure very expensive at the moment...not mistaken 3-4K per set..

Yeah.. i want to know too..

But someone here say EHDD will be auto reformat when u plug to decoder. But i'm not sure it is true or not.

bro , if use mobile gear 111gb external HDD can it hook up wit astro plugnplay?

sorry... you can't use that kind of HDD
For the time being, only 320GB WD My Passport AV are compatible with Byond...

you already try eh?

It's stated on their website...not a case of try or not try.

p/s: I have B.yond with WD My Passport AV. IT's working perfectly. tried with my other HDD...non of them working. Failed verification error was shown.

what is the feedback after you use it ?
worth it or no?

So i understand that it only able to record the channel you are watching ( for beyond decoder)
what if i didn't watch anything, can i schedule to record the program?

Scenario:
assume now is 8pm, and i am on Channel 311.
1. can i set it to record channel 311 start from 9pm~10.15pm ? ( and i switch off my TV after setting. )
2. this question a bit dumb but can it work after i program it, can i put my astro on standby mode ?

Looks like now they are slow in responding, applied on 1/6 until today no calls.Most likely I may get after WC .

Thanks for the reply. Will give this a try tonite.

can you record a program and watch another program in a different channell in the same time with astro plug "n" play?

Cannot lor, read the faq.
Your recorded program will only work with your smart card and your decoder only

1. Yes
2. Am not sure but it suppose to be as it should switch on the decoder at specified time and start recording.

No. Because the decoder only have 1 tuner...
