Pls tell us what software version are you on right now. Got to settings->System Version then give the full version number and the date as well. Let's get this working for you. I used to have this problem back in August but after the latest software update...I don't have the problem anymore.

You guys can change this by setting Fav channel. The first Fav channel you set will be the default channel after the box is rebooted.

True but did not answer the question . Refer to my post above to have the box switched to a preferred channel after it is rebooted.

True. no more last view channel once the box is rebooted (not waking up from standby).

Redninja,

Pls check your Astro. Should be working and activated now. Post here if not okay.

Hehehe...All in good time...

There is no reason to change to B.yond if you are not activating HD. However, if you want to upgrade to PVR for the recording function then it's a wise choice.

Ned,

B.yond box being hot is a good thing. That means the heat is dissipated by the box's surface effectively. Just ensure that the box is not enclosed in a closed box.

Thanks!

You see, the B.yond box on standby mode is not the same as per the old boxes. a B.yond box on standby is still ready to instantly records program once they started. In the near future when it's working as a hybrid box (Satellite and IP based) during standby, it'll be able to download movies in teh background and have a wake-on-LAN capabilities for some cool features.

If you guys look at the PS3, it has two standby modes. 1. Normal standby with in 1 watt usage. If you set the ps3 to have a wake on LAN feature, it instantly uses approx 18-20 watt of electricity.

It's the standard for the current technology. Something we need to have for future capabilities. ButAstro better get the B.yond platform deliver all those faster or it will backfire them.

Guys, Let's all shift the angriness to the 'masses' who consumes TV like food for the Tax imposed on everyone. You see, Astro services is not a necessity, it is a want or dare I say it....semi-luxury item/service. Prolonged or uncontrolled usage will lead to life being lifeless.

I think, that is why the govt decided to impose service Tax as it looks like 50% of the household in Malaysia Consumes Astro like they consume food. Maybe by having to pay extra we all will realise that watching too much TV is bad. And the govt on the on the other hand think that this is just easy modey. Imagine if Astro have 1 Bil Revenue, it's an easy 60 mil revenue for them.

Confirmed, anything wrong with the box, a tecnician will come and repair it for free. no more RM50 service charge.

It depends of the type of Box you have. Currently there are promotions where Astro Subsidise the Box's parts for certain types of SD boxes. This means you only pay RM50.

IINM, there 1-2 types of box not covered under the Astro subsidy programs. so you'll have to pay RM50 + RM XX for the parts.

As per the above post, Astro covers the LNB/Dish as well for B.yond but for SD Boxes,you have to pay RM50 + LNB if it goes kaput.

Thanks!

HDMI only works if you subscribe to HD package. If not HD you will have to use the AV cables

Hate to burst your bubble, you should've done this back in October when it was first announce. Astro takes time to change your billing frequency to yearly instead of Monthly so all of us are out luck.

But to those who are already on yearly bill and has been billed prior to 1st Jan...considered yourself Tax Free for a year.

Did they say it can be done? I tried but they sid tak sempat nak process sebelum January...

Mind sharing with me the name of that VP?

Good, Now go and email Astro your resume and tell them you will be their HD Subtitles Designer. They may have to create a new post for you though since they don't have 'real' subs for HD Programs yet.

Yaaa..we in this forum are all better and/or an expert in the broadcasting industry. People in Astro are all stupid as all the geniuses have took off.

You are most welkam. Thank Astro not me.

Why would you call them. Installers are assigned according to location. furthermore, if you've applied for a box, they wouldn't know until you request has been processed by Astro and assigned to the installers.

Best thing to do is to call Astro and get the info first hand from them.

Thanks!

Confirmed there is no contract for PVR. If you have HD subscription, you will still have to continue paying RM20 and complete the 1-yr contract using the normal B.yond Box instead of the PVR Box.

Thanks!
