They already remember me... accordingly to the technical support specialist... this case alledi up to all the relevant department, including those vice president and president of the depts.... Don't think astro can compensate me for all the frustration and inconvenience I endure now...

anyone in the forum using external HDD for PVR recording.  Occassionally, when i try to playback recorded shows,  i will have some shows without picture/sound and i can see the timing keeps skiping x seconds.  And for some shows, when fastforward, the show cannot go back to normal speed....it just keeps on skipping.  2 weeks ago, astro technician did swap my decoder.  But still the same thing happen.  Now my next try is to swap the externall HDD as still under warranty.

Anyone face the same problem?  any fixes or known cause?
*
Most likely, it is the decoder set issue. Unless your HDD can run or having bad sector, I doubt you can claim it for warranty.

closed caption please. many of us already understand English.

for those who don't, go for night classes.  laugh.gif

Subtitle in ENGLISH is a must and better in closed caption. One HD should have subtitle in English and dual languages. BM subtitle for what? The grammar for BM subtitle sucks.

They don't have enough transponders at MEASAT-3A. The capacity leased out to India already.

astro has reserved and paid for the 6 transponders out of 12 on-board measat 3A, has astro used up all the transponders already? they should have enough capacity for broadcasting 30 mpeg4 HD channels, currently they are only using half of the total capacity
*
Bear in mind that measat 3A also lease Ku band transponders to India paytv, eg., suntv. How many still available then?

what about non astro-byond??
is it all channel turn clearly??
*
In fact, I find that the old philip black decoder with S-video output gives better visual output compared with astro byond hdmi. Those SD channels with byond set seem blur.

It is fat hope astro SD channels video output will be clearer. Gabbage in Gabbage out...

Learn bm in school la.. subtitle is for the viewers to understand the programme in foreign language la.. it defeats the purpose if we need to learn bm in order to understand the programme rite? So better learn korean if we want to watch korean programme la..

my personal take - they dont plan the migration/upgrade properly .. how many $$$ they lost because of this?
*
Absolutely agree. No contingency plan.. As if they never learnt the mistake they made in year 2004.. In overseas, Astro kenna sued till the pant down alledi.

I recalled the astro technician is resetting the byond set by pressing the ch+/- many times and the set will auto update the software. Anyone knows about it?
