maxis IPTV only available on Maxis home fiber coverage area issit

Don't think anyone watching Fashion TV SD when you have HD version and TM knows that. No surprise for them to drop it.

Added on April 24, 2012, 11:46 amGood and very detaild explaination but a bit inaccurate on how it operate. I've been using this device on Asto Byond for more than a year already. The device does not retransmit RF TV signals but inject additional RF signal for IR control onto the passthrough RF cable instead. On the receiving end, it detects the control signal and retransmit it via IR LED to control your Astro Byond. My connection is like this: Byond --> RF converter --> IR coupler --> IR injector --> remote TV. I use it to control from my mater bedroom both Astro Byond located in living room and CCTV DVR in family room. I use 1 injector and 2 couplers for this purpose.

Thanks so much for ur very detailed explanation! The answer is spot on!hehehe
Indeed I am going to use it on beyond and this device seems to not very suit my requirements.
Will definitely look for the sarowin device... Thanks bro!

My pleasure. You are welcome. Mmm... I am already hooked on HD and Dolby Digital 5.1, blu-rays with 1080p picture and DTS-HD Master Audio/Dolby True-HD/DTS Hi-Resolution... so SD video and stereo audio is not my preference now. The only analog stereo audio that I will forever love is the audiophile sound of LPs from turntables when I got addicted as a teenager in the seventies !

Thanks for your feedback.

Maybe I did not explain it clearly which caused some confusion. Yes... I already knew how this AEM device "carry" the IR signal (transmitted from the Astro remote control in another location) to the primary location that resides the Astro box.

Just like what you mentioned but I will explain more about the AEM device signals...

Under normal situation, the Astro remote control transmit IR signal wirelessly directly to the IR Receiver inside the Astro box to control its functions.

IR signal means Infra Red light signal. The copper inside the co-axial cable cannot carry light signals. Co-axial cable can carry RF (Radio Frequency) wave signals.

The AEM Injector (using its own IR receiver) at second location receives the IR signal from the Astro remote control... "converts" the IR signal into special RF (radio frequency) signal at a pre-set Radio Frequency (VHF or UHF)... and sends this special "converted RF signal" back to the AEM Coupler which reconvert this RF signal back to IR... and then transmits as IR using the AEM IR Emitter... so the Astro box will obey the Astro remote control commands. This is what I can call as upstream direction "special" RF signal from Injector to Coupler.

The Astro box RF output sends RF signal (for audio+video) from AEM Coupler to AEM Injector so that the second TV can receive the same TV channels as the first TV. This is what I can call as downstream direction RF signal from Coupler to Injector.

With both cross-streams (upstream and downstream) of RF signals... one is RF signal (audio+video) and the other is the converted RF signal (from IR signal)... both radio frequencies used different channel frequency to prevent signal destructive interference along the same co-axial cable between the Coupler and Injector. Mmm... I don't have this AEM Xtra Link 2 device with me... so that I can borrow an Oscilloscope to test which MHz frequency is used by the "converted RF signal" from IR, hehe. Just curious only.

Here's a graphic illustration of using a "Line To RF Converter" with Byond Box...


One thing that I am sure now is that the IR signal will still work when a "Line To RF Converter" is used for the Byond box. Previously, I was not sure but later I realised that the IR will still work as shown in the above graphic illustration, hehe.

If you want to advertise sales of products and services for yourself or for others, please start a [WTS] sales thread in the correct section. For example... Garage Sales. Please read the guidelines of this forum.

This thread is in the "Special Interest - Home Entertainment" Section which is not a sales of products and services thread.

The person who started the blog as shown from the quoted link you posted, not only provided info on Openbox satellite receiver, he also intended to use his blogs to sell, as shown in this portion from that blog with mobile phone contact given (inside spoilers)...

Bro, u seem like very knowledgeable in the technicality of Audio/Video..
Btw, have checked out the Sarowin products, although it fits my requirements flawlessly, pricewise is beyond my budget..
Gotta resort to using Ethernet(LAN) cable to wire it manually instead

Thanks. Mmm... seem to be but actually only a bit knowledgeable.

I did mention that Sarowin HDMI wireless device is very expensive. Yes, you are right... I forgot about the LAN option which is much cheaper. Using good quality LAN cables is important.

What frequency? Can't find it on 658 or 674...

And Is it T1?

RAMChYLD - MTV Asia on Astro is a delayed feed from the SEA beam (after censorship etc.)... 8-)

Also, Comedy Central Asia is coming by mid or end of the year. NO updates yet whether it's SD or HD.....inside news... 8-)

already launched in India....but Asia programs likely to be different....

The deal of Trace Sports HD & Trace Urban HD are actually on demand programs that Maxis has closed....the service launches next month - page 8.

Page 9: brief mention of content sharing between Astro and new players.

Enjoy!

Ow. So, assteruk is playing dirty and breaking their contract behind MTV's back?

I thought ours is a local MTV Malaysia feed. Again, because Disney has set up local broadcast site and assteruk is getting the feed from them instead of the the real Disney Asia now. In other words, Disney is now practically "in-house" to assteruk, and I thought they were doing that with a lot of other channels.

Comedy Central, I don't think it we can hope for it to show up in Malaysia unless SKMM (and gomen) reform. Given that the old generation are mostly one-tracked mind and will bising whenever there's mention of ganja (seriously. The Power Rangers fiasco was extremely embarrassing. Especially since the spelling is so different and "Morphing" truly has a innocent meaning. They might as well ban Matrix for having Morpheus, Morpheus P2P, Stoik Morphman and Kai's Morph), alcohol, sex, etc, the channel doesn't stand a chance. Especially with South Park which is Comedy Central's main draw. And the gomen will always listen to the old generation because those are the ones running the so-called "moral NGOs" like JAIS.

Most likely it'll end up on ABN channels list, rather than Estrow one.

Hrm, don't think they breach any contract... infact mtv should be well aware of it... or else.. why would they help display malaysia show times 1 hour delayed compared to sg/hk... =p

Bleh.. comedy central would be severely censored, don't think a single south park would be shown... even current mtv's beavis and butthead show, all are censored and replaced with mtv hits... zzz just like the same with mtv celebrity deathmatch... all being replaced with mtv non stop hits back then...

btw, to answer about CN HD, i saw some in 16:9 today =D, animated pink panther in 16:9... its nice to see something so sharp and vibrant compared to the blurry murky SD CN..., with that i think your show would be in native 16:9 too... all these while when i pass thru that tv, i only saw dragon ball and that 3 cockroach cartoon(oogy?) both in pillarboxes.

oh....didn't realized that Disney Channel MAL has a dedicated feed......for SIN, the Disney Channel trailers has MAL/PHIL & THAI/WIB times.....so I had the impression that Starhub was transmitting the same MAL feed.....seems like ths SIN feed had some similar programs with the MAL feed.

Certain cable networks has dedicated MAL feed due to various reasons like copyrights of programs, viewing habits, censorship etc. So far looks like Disney, beTV, ONE (Malay) and HBO MAL are dedicated feed.....

Will update again once I have more news.

Enjoy!

what frequency bro?... scanning the whole spectrum is tiring...

Well, I think there's no chance this channel will ever show up in Malaysia unless miracles happen. Heck, their competition Adult Swim is already available in Asia for a few years (notably, The Philippines has it). But is Malaysia getting it?

Well, that's according to Wikipedia lah. Apparently they switched to a local feed since 2008. Though the other entries in the page are blatant lies (TM does NOT have Disney, and it's not available in HD on assteruk), I'm inclined to believe that part about Malaysia's dedicated feed because Disney now has all sort of local crap, and the live action segments between shows is hosted by Malaysians.

I want to know too. I scanned the spectrum manually (took 10-15 minutes) and can't find it. Is it even DVB-T1? Since T1 receivers cannot pick up T2 signal (but all T2 tuners are mandated to have T1 BC and thus can receive T1 signal).

Wasn't RTM HD feed on DVB-T2 one? Anyway...
