This means your TV doesn't have a Dolby Digital decoder; it cannot downmix 5.1 to 2.0. Unless your TV has this built-in decoder or you have a receiver/HTiB, don't enable 5.1 on your B.yond decoder.

You complain about B.yond AND Unifi. Hmmm.

Google Tivo and see how much they charge.
Yes. Yes.

This has been going on since June 1st, I believe. Astro has been testing with additional HD channels for World Cup and the three new HD channels. The existing bandwidth for all the channels has been reduced, thereby loss of detail and more pixellation. To convert all SD to HD channels, Astro would probably need two more satellites solely for Malaysia/SEA.

Haiyahh.... Not bandwidth reduce again!! 8mbps is too big for Astro to squeeze more channels...

Earlier a doctor said here The quality of HD in their country was better then our HD quality,some of us disagreed with him ,here we hve noticed the HD quality of ESPN has gone down !
HBO is no perfect either The idea this time was to get as many subscribers esp more chinese as possible b4 WC

Some say compare other countrieslah we are still cheap, the bottomline is other countries no such thing as one provider monopoly !For the quality and channel content of wat we are getting I think RM10 above RM20 for HD shld be waived. Almost half of our fare is inhouse channels while the rest are Asian versions and some Malaysianised .

wanna ask all the sifus here... if i subscribe byond package, can i still use my old smart card with the new decoder? cuz i have two smart cards where one is with AOD and another is with my sports channels.

I'm not sifu, but I think cannot

Gonna get a 42" TV at my room, byond will be installed at the living room, how do I connect the byond to both tv at living room and my bedroom? my bedroom is upstairs while the living room is downstairs... HDMI splitter?

Anybody got their PVR? the movie stored in ext HD can it playable via computer?

I doubt it ! it could be only playable on your beyond Maybe an expert can help here i think but Ass may not allow to record and carry around !!

I see i need to see the unit myself and do RND :-) if yes then worth to get it

I believe no even can play with other Byond box with difference smart card inserted.

astro follows strict copyright issues

even when u use the external HDD to record on Byond 1, u cannot even playback on Byond 2

watching animal autospy at NG HD, damnnnnnnn real

i juz subscribed via the astro site (for the Byond PVR +rm300 one time pymt and +rm10 mthly)

this is the response tat i got

Your Astro B.yond application has been successfully submitted to our Customer Service department. An authorized Astro installer will contact with you within 48 hours for an installation appointment.


lets see how "real" is it

i was told during the Midvalley roadshow that I must be subscribed in order to ACCESS my recorded programmes.

I was told that I won't be able to access all my own recorded programs when
- I am no longer subscribed to the channel (eg Sports)
or - I am no longer on the PVR monthly subscription.

Dunno true or not?

yes as all recordings belongs to astro

astro godie la
but ithink sure got way to crack it
SOON

bro it nids live decoding, unless u can send the signal back to astro

In the news about PVR:



Let's multiply how much Astro earn every month in HD services..

500 000xRM20= ??
