The GUI the same.

There is now the 3rd option for viewing a channel.

Pillar Box and Fit to screen (the current options) and the 3rd one specifically for 4:3 channels that letterbox their output (like Discovery). this option is called LB Expand (for LetteBox Expand). Basically it is the zoom feature that was on briefly before but tweaked a little bit so it's not so much zoom as before. Anyway as I said it is not for use as a default setting but to be used when a programme on a 4:3 channel letterboxes their programme. Like the other aspect ratio change you can control this directly from your remotes AR button.

The firmware upgrade is for all b.yond decoders.

ITS RM300 for the PVR + extra rm10 monthly
or
rm5 extra and u buy the HDD yourself, also hav to fork out abt rm300

but the second option , we can use another HDD if the first is full

but do we hav the time to watch them all since there will be more HD channels coming out

our time will be spent watching the newer ones and where we got time to watch the recorded ones doh.gif

i think we should wait b4 jumping into the bandwagon
lets astro and some newbie test out the system first
or if u really wan the recording function,

go for the rm5 option cause u use your rm300 to buy the HDD and if the new feature is not good enough, then at least u can use the HDD for some other purpose and the rm5 is nothing , u can afford to burn it to astro tongue.gif

Me too, that's why I really want to know which brand & model.
I've been using ext HDD, both 3.5" & 2.5" on various brands all these while, but so far I never encounter such scenario.....
Because of no time, that's why need to record many things to view later when free mah  tongue.gif

I do keep my important recordings over the years, and I think I'll still been keeping & growing .... even those classic VCR or Hi8 video cam which I converted into DVD HDD those days ......
I like to watch & keep certain programs like NG, History, etc ....

You know, getting older, need to watch again just to refresh memory mah  tongue.gif

i tot we only keep those ........... brows.gif brows.gif

Friends of mine in HK use TBs tray to keep those ...... HD somemore wink.gif

wat is TBs trays?

btw, rm300 is for new dual wiring and dual LNB and its for the rm10 mthy package rite?

for the rm5 extra mthly its juz a call to astro to activate the service rite and we buy our HDD to do the recording

then if wat i said is rite, the rm10 extra mthly is more worthly thumbup.gif

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?
