ok.. i will give a try..
none when using HDMI port.. i can view via video port only.. meaning the HD service is not yet activated

Is it just me, or bitrate for final AF9 concert looks less than HD? (ch.188)

May I know which one? 2 LNB receiver or 2 outputs LNB? Which is better?

Sony Bravia TV.

Sure is. Question is, when will we have permenant HD malay channel?

Sorry for asking about this once more, but prior to activation, is it normal for the TV to not detect any signal from the decoder? As in the HDMI cable is already connected, but the TV fails to recognize the source, and thus fails to display anything at all, apart from an error message.

Called Astro, and they're just as clueless

My decoder displays this, "C 101" and I can't change the channel or anything.

I honestly do not know what the installer did, or what Astro is trying to do. I was sleeping when the installers did it. My parents were monitoring them. And apparently, they left just after saying that it'll all be good in an hours time.

Yeap, channel 101. But I can't seem to change the channel. It sticks to channel 101, but the decoder receives the signal from my remote (The LED blinks, so yeah).

I'll try to explain this in the best way possible. You know when you connect your PS3 to your HD TV via the HDMI cable? If you do not switch on your PS3, nothing would appear on your screen apart from a message that's like this "No source detected/check signal" (This is on my TV, which is a Samsung LED TV model). After you switch it on, only then the television receives information from the PS3, and the screen goes black, and there you have your PS3 menu.

Right now, all I see is the screen that I get when I connect a PS3 that is NOT switched on yet, to my television.

I hope you get it.

They took all the wires, so I can't try right now :/ And I don't think that's the problem, because I can't even change the channels. Wow.. all the hype, and their service is as poor as this. Each time I call them up, they'd just tell me this, "Oh.. it'll be alright in about 24 hours"

Okay guys, I managed to yank out a video out cable from my store room, and I connected it to my TV. Yeap, now I see the, "Please insert smart card bla bla.. or call Astro for any assistance". This is what I was actually waiting to see all these while

So I'm guessing I'm on the same boat as stuffx right now?

Even from 2m feel like not HD much. If their bitrate was at 7-8mbps, it should be higher for motion video. Like at 10-11mbps.

reference

Mine was 32".

On full motion, it's noticable a little than still frame. (with MPEG reduction on)

My STB was beyond set. Just called to upgrate to superpack 3 by phone on last thusday 9th Jun. They activated the superpack3 within 5 minute on that day. I also asked for PVR set as well. The installer come to installed on saturday 4.00pm. So far are OK. The most important thing is need to update the software version, otherwise your sd channel just Zoom and center cut function only.

If we get the B.yond PVR decoder at RM150 (current promotion rate), what is the warranty period ?
What happen if the B.yond PVR decoder  spoils after 3 years ?

based on astro web page, Rm400 for SD old decoder customer upgrading to byond PVR
http://www.astro.com.my/byond/articles/art_3390.html

Nope. 'cause i'm at SP1 and still using B.yond decoder.

"Not Authorised"

Hi guys,

I received a letter from astro saying my next bill will be RM132.95  instead of my current bill RM125.95 so I went to call Astro CS (Nadia) and ask her to change my packages to Super Pack 1.

So, 5 minutes later, I got the package already...my wife smiles because she got to watch Maharaja Lawak

Now, to my question...
Super Pack include HD & Recording service..so does this means I can swap my byond box with PVR box for free OR just have the ability to use PVR?

Is it just me, or anyone else noticed the pixelation of ch.551 Discovery feed on some programme? It's bad.

I got something to ask. Currently my subcription is movie,sport,3 mini without byond. Btw im using 2 astro at home, so the second set is 50% cheaper. Currently my bill is 110+55 before tax = 165 permonth. If i dont change anything, it will rise to 117+58= 175. But i like the superpack 1 coz by adding bit more i can get hd channels too. But if i change to superpack 1 for 125, will my 2nd set still enjoy 50% off?

Added on June 18, 2011, 5:09 pmOh and can i change mustika to metro for superpack 1? They should let us choose the plus package for super pack, not everyone wants mustika.

yes currently both astro on same package. what if i only want superpack 1 for one astro only, then the other set with different package still will have 50%?

I called astro to confirm about the dual cable to PVR but the guy told that no need to install additional cable.
He said the installer will "do something" so that the PVR can watch and record different channel at the same time.
I'm currently using Byond HD and I have personally connect a splitter to my existing cable so that I can have two cable: one to my Byond HD decoder and one to my other normal SD decoder.
When my inlaws come to my house, they will bring their smart card and plug in to the old decoder to watch their channel while I have wireless transmitter from HD decoder to 2nd TV in my room to watch my own channel.
The only thing is that, if I switch my HD decoder to HD channel, the old decoder will show "service currently not available" on the 1st TV.
Wonder the "do something" as claimed by astro is to install the similar splitter.
