QUOTE(neb @ Sep 13 2010, 07:02 PM) switch off main power, then on again, this should fix the hang-up  Switching off main power not a solution. Try unplug the adapter from the decoder , and replug them . Also detach the astro signal cable and attach it back and try boot up. Do not play with the main power  . If the above does not work. Try booting your decoder without your Smart card. See if it ever boot up. You should try each and every possibility to identify the actual issue. Lastly, if all above does not work either, contact the Service Advisor

If kenot then only post here and asks the forumers.

I'm going to upgrade to Astro Byond. My previous satellite cable (connecting decoder to dish) was sealed in the wall. My question is can I still reused the satellite cable connecting the new dish and new decoder? Thanks.

It's the steps to solve the "STB Starting Up" error. I'm amaze at how you can come to that conclusion. Guess we're all are too much into flaming Astro for being the big corporation that they are now. Just like people b****ing about Microsoft when they themselves are pirating and using Microsoft products.

My question is can I still reused the satellite cable connecting the new dish and new decoder? Thanks. My personal experience...used to have two dishes connected to two decoders. One upstairs and another downstairs. When I swap to B.yond for the one downstairs, I have to use a new dish and cabling because if I use the old cabling, the signal is not good enough. The installer said it may be due to oxidization of the said cable since it's already more than 10 years. Check with you installer. If the signal strength is good enough then there is no need to worry This post has been edited by lapaq: Sep 14 2010, 06:34 PM

QUOTE Technicolor to supply advanced HD set-top boxes to Astro Thursday, September 9th, 2010
Malaysia-based satellite broadcaster continues long-term relationship with Technicolor
PARIS, France — Technicolor (Euronext Paris : FR0010918292 ; NYSE : TCH) announced that it has won a further contract from Astro, Malaysia’s leading integrated cross-media group. Already an established supplier of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 set-top boxes for standard definition broadcasting, Technicolor is now to supply High Definition (HD) MPEG-4 STBs with local recording capability to support Astro’s move to offer more technology-adapting services and products to its close to 3 million and growing customer base.
The innovative HD enabled STB to be supplied by Technicolor includes the ability to record to an external disk or disks, allowing subscribers the convenience and flexibility to tailor their recording capability to meet their own requirements.
“This is another important milestone in our relationship with Astro, and I am delighted to be part of their plans to move to HD,” said Georges Laplanche, Senior Vice President, Connect Division at Technicolor. “From the beginning Astro has always challenged us to deliver technically excellent, operationally innovative platforms, a challenge which we have relished”.
“We are happy to be working with Technicolor and we are confident that their expertise in innovative high definition services will be a great support for us in our HD offering to our customers. This agreement marks the continuation of our relationship with the Group” added Rohana Rozhan, CEO of Astro.
Deliveries of the new STB are now underway, while at the same time Technicolor will also provide locally-based and extensive logistics and after-sales support to Astro. http://www.technicolor.com/en/lo/about-tec...-boxes-to-astroHopefully this time it wont failed us like now...

Guys..The PR said "records" to external HDD...So I believe this means they are making the normal B.yond Boxes and not those PVR.
