So weird..... blink.gif
Mine Installer told me that I still can use back the existing cable for the Byond PVR decoder
But I'll not able to watch any HD channel and do any recording... shocking.gif
At the end...I have to choice for install another cable to made the decoder full utilize... rclxms.gif

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. icon_idea.gif
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. rclxms.gif
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. hmm.gif

Never heard the PVR can watch 1 channel and record another channel (if 1 is SD and another is HD) with only 1 cable.  You might be fooled by ASSTHROW misrepresentation.

That what I thought so, cannot have dual tuner with only one cable, my existing cable is concealed, I do not wish to spend extra money to pull another cable, that's why I called astro to inquire about dual tuner on existing single cable.
Has anyone ever tried the splitter thing on PVR?
