who know what screw are being use on astro beyond decoder?

I am not using Byond PVR, only using Byond decoder. There are 3 crossed screws behind the Byond, one screw is holding the HDMI port.

If you have not lost ALL the 3 screws, and only lost 1... then remove one of the other 2 and find a replacement that matches this from a hardware shop.

Or, if you know an Astro installer and is able to contact him/her, maybe you can request that installer to help find the correct replacement screw.

Sorry for being not much help here. Maybe others here can offer better help.

Snapping a photo is not enough because he needs to know how long is the screw and how thick is the thread lines on the screw. The best is to get the actual screw from the remaining ones and show it to the shopkeeper in Jalan Pasar. All the 3 screws behind the Byond decoder should be the same type. Hehe... he will have problem if he lost all 3 screws and have to bring the whole Byond decoder to the hardware shop to find one that fits.

ADDITION
Oops... you are right... he can always put a ruler next to the screw and snap a photo. Sorry.

Funny, I did not find any tiny dot or small round hole at the back.

I snapped a photo of my Byond back as shown here (inside spoiler)...

I got my Byond in 2010 so your one maybe slightly different.

I hope you did not open up anything. If the "dot" is already there on the date of installation then maybe it is for technician use. I don't know the actual answer. When your Byond is working properly, it is better not to "touch" anything that you are not supposed to.

If you just want to know why the "dot" is there, then maybe you can ask your installer. I also don't know.

I am curious... so is it possible that you snap a photo of your Byond back and post it here ?

Oh I see !

My Byond have the same type of screws as yours (no pun intended).

Its actually a screw with a special head with 6 "fingers" in the shape of a flower. We need to have a special screwdriver to fit into this screw properly to open the casing. The special screwdriver have a tiny protusion in the centre to help it "grab" the screw better and prevent slipping.

Such screw heads make it more difficult for people to open the Byond casing eventhough it can be done. Nowadays, many products used special screw heads to make it difficult for anyone to open the casing.

This is what I believe so I may not be correct. I think its only important when we want to try opening the case, then damaged the screw or lost it.

I don't know what actually happened in your case. Yea... I am guessing that you have tried to unscrew, managed to do it and damaged the screw head... and cannot screw it back again ? If this is the problem... then you can just try to find a screw with a normal "cross" type head but the screw must be the same length, thickness and screw thread. I think the "tiny" hole is not important.

Yea... finding the exact screw head is difficult and you may never find it.

Yes, understood. Hehe... I also want to know what is inside, such as what chips are used, etc. The only problem is to find the suitable screwdriver to open without damaging the screws and without showing any signs that the box have been opened ! The warranty sticker can be removed using special chemicals that can lift the sticker without damaging the sticker or glue, my installer friend told me.

The Byond box, Byond PVR box and smartcard technology is provided (and maybe manufactured) by Pace Ltd, a UK firm.

I google searched and could not find any photos of the insides of Byond box. I will continue to look for the photos.

The screwdriver is almost the same as allen key. You can find it at kedai hardware. Just bring your byond decoder to the shop and try a few screwdriver if you difficulties to explain it to them, like what I did : )
But remember, the warranty will void if you tamper the sticker once you open the box cover.

TV stations to share broadcast contents of popular sporting events from May 1

TANJUNG MALIM: All free-to-air TV stations that do not have broadcasting rights for major sporting events of mass appeal, will be able to share the contents obtained by the rights holder from May 1.

Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said the move was to enable all sporting events that involved the interest of the country to receive wide coverage, so that all Malaysians can watch such action, instead of it being monopolised by the rights holder.

"Sports that have a mass appeal like the Olympics, badminton, football and other major sporting events would not be allowed to be monopolised by any one station but such broadcast contents must be shared," he told reporters after launching 'RTM Mobile' in conjunction with Radio dan Televisyen Malaysia's (RTM) 66th anniversary at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris here Wednesday.

He added that if a specific sporting event was aired by a free-to-air TV station, the contents would be shared by pay TV stations.

The initiative would be carried out through the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and aimed to enable more Malaysians to view popular sporting activities that involved Malaysians, he said.

Rais said TV stations could choose what event they wanted to broadcast and request for such programmes accordingly from the station that held the rights.

Among the sporting events falling under the sharing programme are the Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, Sea Games, Sukma, Thomas and Uber Cups, All England, BWF Super Series, AFC Asian Cup, Asean Football Federation Cup, Fifa World Cup (semifinals and final) and English Premier League.

The sporting events listed were chosen since they can function as a tool to enhance integration and unity in the spirit of 1Malaysia, he said.

For more information, people can surf the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission website.
