I don't think it'll work that way...

I actually once connected an assteruk decoder to a coil of unshielded cable (you know, cable meant to carry electricity) with a MegaTV pigtail antenna on the other end and it's signal bar started fluctuating so maybe it's a YMMV case.

Actually tho, it's quite possible to do that, but expect the signal bar to be not very high and intermittent signal lost problem with HD signal. Problem is antenna grade cable is slightly thinner than satellite grade cable, and thus prone to signal loss. Also, antenna grade cable is unshielded compared to satellite grade cable, means it's prone to picking up interference.

Lol that actually works...

I hear Astro got a promo 50% off for second decoder. Is it for IPTV only or for normal decoder with dish?

Normal decoder with dish one.

Can anyone enlightened me how to transfer recorded program on PVR to personal hard disk?

Many thanx

I dunno the cable hidden in the wall is satellite grade or antenna grade though

nowadays many newer homes have to resort to the built-in wall socket for the TV socket, or else the cable have to go through the window of the living hall

anyone here successfully running Astro dish using the concealed wall cable?


but anyway, isn't the standard antenna cable also unshielded one? they are still the coaxial cable anyway

SO far so good i did my PVR (2 cable) with concealed wall cable and don't have any problem!

erm u split one socket to 2 cables?

Which socket?

the antenna wall socket?

since you said the cable is concealed in wall, so u use signal splitter?

My installer told me that he use splitter!

splitter or stacker destacker

Correct. Standard antenna cable is unshielded. The differences between satellite cable and standard antenna cable is that satellite signal cable core (the single-strand part in the center of the cable) is not slightly thicker, there's also a layer of aluminum shield between the core and ground. Standard antenna cable don't have that aluminum shield and thus pick up interference as well as suffer signal degradation.

As I said before, it is plausible, but you will maybe suffer signal degradation.

Still worth trying tho. On normal (non-baeyong) decoder the degradation is not too bad in my experience. Before I install baeyong iirc my cabling is half satellite cable, half antenna cable because difficult to get the needed satellite cable and I wanted to extend the cable from the hall into my room.

Come out from new service provider hopefully....

bae yong = roughly Hokkien for "Cannot use" or "useless"

I coined the term because I feel that Assteruk is useless for me- their HD contents doesn't please me, I'm one of the minorities interested in neither bola sepak nor chinese drama, and I've been disappointed by their channel choices.
