My humble opinion we dont care who is the person as long he delivers good for the people and people are happy HE deserves our respect,our country lacks these kind of people,so keep up the good work. Most forumers here are helpfull thats a matter of fact. nod.gif notworthy.gif thumbup.gif rclxms.gif

Apex,

It's harmless lah. This is the intarweb, so we all have to expect there are douches everywhere. Not that I'm saying Jalsrix is a douche but what I'm saying is that I don't really pay much attention to all teh negativity. That is why I only commented positively and constructively.

What I understand is, lots of people here, like pokemon, and Jals, have this love-hate relationship with Astro. They love it so much and yet they also hate Astro. Kinda like my neighbour back in my Kampung, Pakcik Muthu and Makcik Selvi. Every morning at 6AM, can here he and his wife shouting at each other ever since they moved in when I was about 10-yr old.

Last Month, while I'm back in Kedah, they are still shouting at each other in the morning but I'm surprised to see they are blesed with 8 kids already with their eldest just got into a Uni in Australia! Talk about love-hate relationship, that is teh best example I can give.  thumbup.gif

Nah...He's trying to get rid of his stocks as Plasma is going to die soon. The longer he waits, the harder it is to sell.

Agree 100% !

Lapaq wouldn't be saying like that if Starhub TV from Singapore is given a license to operate in Msia to compete with Astro.

Anyone want to bet that 'Ass throw' is going to go bankrupt if Starhub comes in ?  brows.gif

Fox crime is available in indonesia, vietnam, philipines, india, thailand but NOT malaysia ?  doh.gif  Astro failed !

The root of the problem is, it is owned by khazanah Nasional the investing arm of the goverment as such no competitors wld be allowed, thats why so many talk want to come but nobody came!! Mallayysia is so big and I dont see why we dont hv a single cable operator here ?Perhaps its the aftermath of exclusive licensing. whistling.gif

- NO automatic weekly recording schedule yeah I hated this as well. maybe if there are demands they would add this functionality
- NO way to DELETE recording after watching I dont miss this feature as I never delete anything. If HDD full, it will auto delete
- very CONFUSING interface, multiple steps to watch a recoding lettle known shortcut, press play button and you'll be taken away straight to your planner
- Whoever designed the user interface definitely NOT a AstroMax user or ever used a PVR before!!!! i hated the MAX, so not sure what to say

What i hate most but miss a lot is the going to the nearest channel function ,this was avaliable wiith older decorders now u hv to memorise every channel number to tune on if not the message "channel not avaliable" will pop on the screen. This is silly the decorder shld go to the next nearest channel. If i press 833 the channel shld go to 831 or 832,imagine the old folks how can they remember every channel number ? hmm.gif Now i understand the gist of being losers !! notworthy.gif

Check your Beyond Audio settings set it to 5.1/Your settings/Audio settings hmm.gif If there is a setting on your tv for sound i.e tv or amplifier set it to amplifier, this wl disable your tv sound and your HTS wld be on simatanouesly.This advice based on my HTS experiencece maybe its of some help to you.

Dear all byond expert,

I just came home yesterday to my parents house and they had byond installed. it was connected to pioneer avr vsx-520k. I had to do some settings where i changed it to 5.1.

the problem is, i cant control the audio. the byond remote is sync to my LG tv. the remote is controlling the LG tv volume.

I was hoping anyone here can direct me to any instruction to increase the volume.

the old astro allows to control the decoder volume. but this one, it controls the TV volume. very very strange.

Any help or directions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Hope u use HDMI connection, if so check tv/amplifier settings if any and set it to amplifier.I see one connection is lacking if not hdmi connection rclxub.gif

thank you for such prompt reply. the byond decoder is connected to the Pioneer AVR through HDMI. so the sounds travel from the decoder to the AVR then through the speakers.

for some reason, the byond remote controls the TV volume. this is useless as no sound going through the TV speakers, only through my AVR speakers.

so......i thought the remote can control the volume like the old ones.  so, is there no way to control the volume through the decoder? am i missing something here.

thank  you again so much.

If 5.1 is selected TV volume wl be disabled volume control wld be through HTS.Perhaps a coaxial is lacking,?!,Try meddling u can solve it !!

The advancement of technology at times screws us up to !! Maybe one day Johoreans may not get all those FTA singapore channels ! Our side was never friendly with them. TV3 is not availiable over there and TV3 uses the same UHF band here in Johor to interfere with thier Suria channel to stop locals here from watching their malay channel but so far they hv not blocked thier reception over here ! Thats Singapore ! flex.gif
