Well, I don't blame astro for holding exclusive rights to certain content coz most of the time, those exclusive rights are sometimes given to one major bidder only..for example, the English Premier League held an auction for the rights to show their games and in the end it was between astro and TM..astro won coz the Premier League got more money from astro than what TM was offering..now unless local TV operators want to share the rights, it's basically goes back to the content provider to pick what proposal is the best for them..

EPL is understandable because they're bidding it. But channels like Discovery, NGC, AXN, Star World & so on are not meant to be exclusive.

yes u can
just go manually the channel schedule
then select the show u want to record
but need to do it frequently

About 5 days.

Rebrand channel:

As it is Zeetv special Msian Version was dissappointing I wonder wat rebranding now !!

@lapaq
How the progress to fix problem with problem (simultenouesly playing and recording) on Byond external HDD? Until now nobody from astro guys contact me.

Hmm That is weird. Lemme get back to them. I still have your details.

I came to conclusion people working in Astro are either incompetent idiots or scam artist.

Astro grossly overcharged me in my latest invoice. Called up 3 times to explain and every time they agreed it was their mistake to overcharge but they never give me any rebate. May be I have to go to Small Claim Court to get at Astro and call press people to come witness what sort of arrogant b*&^% they are.

Log in to cfm.org or KDN consumers portal and lodge ur complaint and within 3 days u wl get a reply. Try it u wl be surprised.

Why not complain to lowyat.net customer service manager aka lapaq ?

Hopefully, we won't have the love-hate relationship reply again.

Yeah Jals is right. PM me your details. If they overchage you then they should make the necessary adjustment to your bill.

p/s: by rebate means 'credit the 'extra' charges back into your account right?

Thanks for the offer.

But which is the most effective way to humiliate Astro for treating customer like dirt? Small Claim Court? Write to press? I wanted some pay back and preferably not settle it under the table. Any suggestion?

That's fast! They told me 14 days!

I think this is how Astro work.

If you don't complain. 14 days or longer.
If you complain, 5 days.
If you REALLY complain, can be next day.

You can't blame them, they are after all in the "cable" TV business so pulling cable is to be expected.

Just got my B.yond yesterday & I'm lovin' it!!!!

Anyway, all the HD channel numbers are quite alien to me. Need sometime for me to get them into my system. So I added them as favorite channels, thinking that I can navigate faster. Check on the manual, nothing mentioned about recalling the favs. Can teach me how? Or you guys have better ways for easy & fast channel switching?

hi guys, currently i have the second decoder 50% off thingy, the thing is i wanna upgrade one of the decoder to beyond, so will the 50% off for second decoder will still remain? or i have to upgrade both of it aswell?
