is there any difference in terms of PQ if I use expensive HDMI cables instead of the free HDMI cable given by the installer?
*
No. Since HDMI is using digital signal.

Bros,

Does anyone know where I can get the wireless transmitter to share the viewing for my upstair room? Previously I have the 2 black thingy where I shared my living room viewing with the master room but since upgrade to B.yond I need to find an alternative since it no longer able to support.
*
There are a few sellers in lowyat selling those transmitter. I can't remember the link. Try and search.
The normal AV transmitter cost about rm160-rm2xx. Depending on the frequency and range.
The HD transmitter is about RM999.

It depends...for normal subscriber, there are an increase in the subscription fess.

For those who subscribe/upgrade to super pack pakages, they really saves alot.

I saved about RM20+...

1. PVR - 500gb storage + 2 tuner + RM10/month + RM150 installation fees (Promotion untill 31 Sept, otherwise RM300)

2. ext HDD - only compatible with 320 WD Passport HDD + Only one tuner + RM5/month

With the current PVR promotion price, the installation fees is cheaper then the ext HDD. I suggest you get the PVR. 500gb is enough already. I'm currently only use half of the storage.

Thanks!

But the Astro lady told me that there is no monthly subscription for the PVR.
Just a one time rm150 payment if I take the HD.
*
It depends on the package you choose. You will get waive on the PVR and HD services fee if only you subcribe to Astro Super Pack Packages.

Try refer to this link

When trying to program the B.yond remote to control the TV volumes doesn't work... But the B.yond remote can do TV can turn on/off, switch AV input, ...

Any assistance ?
*
Try press and hold 'ok' & 'vol (+)' button simultanously. The remote led will blink twice. Then, try to control the TV volume.

Hi!
Yes I was intending to subscribe to the Super Pack, thats why she didn't mention about any fee.

Now Im considering to get a PVR or ext. HDD.
*
I suggest you get the PVR. With the current promotion price, RM150. It is cheaper than buying the HDD itself. Plus, you'll get more space (500gb) and two tuner (can record two programs at one time).

call astro just now and upgrade to beyond, they said installer will come within 5 working days. do u guys think i can get it before raya?
*
It depends on your area. All you can do is, try to call the Astro CS every 2-3 days to ask about your application status, the process will be faster once astro has assign installer to you.

ooh its just that simple

i thought when one input/output already plugged, the other output automatically can't use anymore. haha

thanks mate!

and oh yeah, does hdmi splitter affect quality ?
*
If you use active splitter it should be okay. However i haven't personally tested it yet. One more thing, make sure your second tv distance is less than 3 meters or so from the source.

Installer coming at 2pm, anything I should take extra 'attention' on when he is doing installation?
*
B.yond or PVR? For PVR, just make sure the activation is on the spot, not within 24 hours. Or else, don't pay him the RM150 installation fees.

hello,wtask

whut is the function of thie 2 cable,my old decoder only use 1

if i take one of it,put at my 2nd decoder with another smartcard,will it work?
*
This is the coaxial cable. Your decoder is the PVR unit right? PVR has two tuners, it required 2 cables so that it can record two channel simultaneously.

Your second decoder will work if you connect the other cable. But your PVR might not work.
