Guys, you know what, my HD channels problem are all fixed! No more problem of HD channels disappearing often, it's really stable now. Some of you had recommended me to change the cable to RG6, well I didn't change it. I did intend to change it, but when I called to my friend's friend to come take a look (this time wanna try someone who is not from Astro), someone who knows how to handle Astro problems, they said it must be something loose from the dish.

I told them this time just change the cable to RG6, they said well let's check the dish first before changing the cable and then ok, I let them adjust the dish. While adjusting it, the people on the roof said "wow why everything here so loose, what kind of people do this kind of job??". This really surprised me because I thought the second guy that Astro sent to fix it many days ago had already tightened it, like I had told you guys over here many days ago. But now I know it's again a loosely done job by the second guy.

So after everything was settled, all HD channels are really stable now. The friend who fixed it even stay for quite long time to check whether the problem still recurring or not. It's really really stable now. So I can make one conclusion, the first two guys the came to install and fix my Astro B.yond, are utterly useless and can go to F OFF. Do this kind of shitty service, might as well don't do it. Suppose to help people, but actually bring more problems.

haha in ABO HD i think

I told u in post 985,based on personal experience,the job was NOT done properly ! Well we are happy its settled.

huhu..must 'langgan'

Yea, it's also very hard to know what they are doing up there on the roof with the dish, so thankfully this time it's a friend's friend, calling somebody you know to fix it is definitely better.

With Byond PVR, can rec 2 diff Chs. at same time...True.
However, if yu wanna watch @ same time while recording, can only watch either 1 of those 2 Chs yu are recording!
NOT a new diff Ch. from those 2 being recorded!!

Reason?
Only 2 inputs...

Would there be HD of the Malaysian Formula 1 GP ?

The whole series is available in HD.

I agree. Astro 1st is a waste for film industry & and also Astro bandwidth. Might as use Astro First HD1, HD2, HD3 bandwidth to improve HD channel bitrate.

each transponder on-board the satellite is independent, you can't switch off one transponder to improve bandwidth of another transponder

exactly.......astro will to do anything as long it is profitable to them,they dont care of others.

Hi, not sure if this is the place to ask this, but recently the power adapter for my astro byond died. I have two accounts and I tried replacing the adapter to make sure it's the real problem. Confirmed it's the adapter.

Where can I buy a new adapter? Or must I go through Astro. Would prefer to just buy one myself to save time.

Thanks in advance.

You don't actually own the Astro Byond decoder. It belongs to Astro so it is their problem. Call them to get it replaced.

Ok. Thanks.

I refer back to a few posts from a few people here including my own replies at ...http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2114557/+1020# ... posts No. 1029, 1030, 1031, etc.

For reference, Post 1029 from Pokemon...

This is the Unmissable Promotion for the Sports Pack starting from 1-Mar-12 to 31-Mar-12. Refer to the interactive advertisement at HBO HD channel by pressing the remote "red" button.

The 2 big sports events are the Euro Cup 2012 and the London Olympics 2012.

A few of my friends (who did not subscribe to Sports Pack) also wanted to watch only the London Olympics 2012 so I had to call Astro twice to understand clearly in detail because I am confused about the additional charge of RM 50.

In my opinion, its not actually a "promo" because we don't get any benefit for subscribing to Sports Pack early. The only thing we get if we subscribe late is to pay the additional RM 50 first and get refund in February 2013. Hehe.... I am sure a lot of people who didn't know and subscribed to Sports Pack late will shoot fire to Astro with phone calls when they see this additional charge and why charge-then-refund later!

1) As mentioned by Pokemon, anyone who subscribed to Sport Pack [SP] or SuperPack 1, 2 or 3 [SpP] (included Sport Pack) before 01-Apr-2012... NO additional charge of RM 50 to watch the TWO events.

2) Anyone who subscribed to SP or SpP on 01-Apr-2012 and later, will be charged additional RM 50 for these 2 events. This RM 50 will be refunded if this subscription is not cancelled before 01-Feb-2012. Example, we will not get the refund if we cancelled SP on 31-Jan-2013. Hehe, people who subscribed to SpP will continue for long-term because its already special low price for a group of packages. Astro is being "teruk" smart to "penalise" anyone who thought of saving money by subscribing to Sports Pack from June to August 2012 only, when the London Olympics is over.

3) Anyone who never want to subscribe to SP or SpP, can pay a one-time charge for watching one or two of these 2 events. Just pay RM 50 for Euro Cup and another RM 50 for London Olympics. Total RM 100 for 2 events. Can only watch the temporary additional interactive channels during the events, cannot watch the regular sports channels such as the Golf channel 815 in Sports Pack.

I didn't ask the situation for the other coming soon events such as Thomas/Uber Cup, French Open, etc so I don't know whether got any "special arrangements" or not.

Euro Cup 2012 : 08-Jun-2012.
London Olympics 2012 : 27-Jul-2012.

For me, I will not subscribe to Sports Pack, wait and may decide to pay RM 50 for the London Olympics only, hehe. If football World Cup 2014 in Brazil, yea, yea, yea, I will pay just to watch only this one!



NEW ADDITION - OFF-TOPIC (inside spoiler below)...
