plenty of free lunches in UK LOL

freesat is a joint venture between UK's private and government owned entity, astro and malaysian government should learn from them

why limit your brain's activity, think outside the box, anything is possible

I didn't mention astro is a joint venture in my previous post

I said UK's freesat is a joint venture that astro and our government could emulate to provide non-luxurious free satellite TV to the rakyat
search the net, freesat is created in UK, read and understand about it more

did I blame government in my previous post?

barking up the wrong tree? where did it come from?

please don't put your words in other people's mouth, read carefully other people's post

we have already paid the government, now is their turn to provide us with free lunch, they should provide us alternative free satellite TV since they have already tax us for watching luxurious astro

it seems that The Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Combodia have no restriction to own satellite equipments

sabah sarawak just like the rest of malaysia states, people are forbidden unrestrictive ownership of satellite equipments, but people there do it anyway knowing no one is enforcing the law

this is a list of satellites hovering on the equator belt, if their beam footprint cover your area, then you could receive these satellite TV channels with cheap satellite equipment

interesting piece of info I got from the net, we may have a new pay TV operated by ytl, I heard they got the 700MHz spectrum FOC without auction from MCMC, they claimed it will be used for pay TV braodcast using DVB-T2 by the end of 2011, we will see how it turn out

search google or other engine for "ytl 700MHz dvb-t2", you should have many hits

under Malaysia’s National Spectrum Plan, 700MHz spectrum band is allocated for broadcasting service, YTL Communications executive director Datuk Yeoh Seok Hong said his company had applied for that paticular spectrum, lets wait and see what happen by the year end

they will eventually call you LOL
since max can do recording, I think it is more to do with complying the movie copyright law

satellite TV is the way to go for nationwide TV coverage, however there shall not be any competitor to astro until 2015, because astro was given an exclusive satellite TV DTH transmission license for 20 years by our government back in 1996

my pvr's fan doesn't spin, installer said the fan is automatic, will spin when box gets hot.

anyone have seen their pvr's fan spin at all, my box is getting pretty hot yet the fan is still not spin

from unify website, I think you should get these devices: adsl modem+router+wifi and set top box



by the way, DishTV( india largest satellite TV operator) begin to transmit 32 HD channels using 3 KU transponders recently rented from AsiaSat 5 at 100.5°E, HD channels including DiscoveryHD

see a list of their HD channels over here(scroll to the Ku band section down the page, but in chinese )

for new subscribtion, read this page
http://www.astro.com.my/newsubscription/ar...es/art_693.html

for HD activation you will need to add RM20 HD fee, currently 5 HD channels(AXNHD, AXNBeyondHD, OneHD, FxHD, FoodNetworkHD) are not tie to any packages, anyone with byond box with HD activated can watch these channels

are you sure?

usually these type of fan (like computer CPU fan) will spin at reduce speed on bootup, not stop entirely, seems to me the likely cause is a faulty fan, will ask for a replacement box

have you got a PVR at home? yours spin at bootup?

so did astro charge you RM10 for deactivation?

after deactivation, is your HDMI port still working?

also the ps3 full HD game

foul language will be silenced
sex/nude scenes will be cut off entirely

it seems like you box did not boot successfully, try power cycling your box (ie. turning the power supply off then on again)

if still no go, I think you may have a defective byond, ask astro for a new replacement

after byond installation, you should receive an acceptance form from the installer, installer name and code are printed on the form

if you read the manual, you will learn that HDMi digital audio can not adjust its volume, only analog audio(with red/white rca connection) can be adjusted,
however byond's remote control con be used to adjust TV's volume directly

do you mean single dish support multiple byond box?

yes, quad output LNB can support 4 normal byond boxes, or 2x byond PVR
