Hm mind enlighten me as to the reason for updates?
I've never update any firmware/software, so am not sure of the benefits


my thoughts on updating it, is.. i just wanna stay update for it. no particular reason.. unsure.gif

okay, the latest version of it.. which is 7.0 has slimmer fonts, that's all. the rest has yet to be discovered. icon_rolleyes.gif

The obvious change that I can see on this new update is the VOD features... Those with Byond PVR (int HDD) and Standard Byond with (ext hdd) are able to purchase the VOD titles by just connecting their STB to Unifi or Streamyx router. But it seems that most of the VOD titles are really outdated and for me, it's not worth to burn-out your RM8 for this service... sweat.gif

Exactly,nothing great,I thought they had the nearest channel feature but dissappointed,say u press 841 it goes to 831,this was in those old decorders,very handy for the old who cannot memorise every channel number. about VOD above your rm8 u hv to pay data charges to download which i think sucks! hmm.gif

But this new software, it seems that the 10 secs 'waiting-period' for changing channel are available again...

Truths. Indovision has everything assteruk has, and has things assteruk doesn't have because assteruk greedy and $#!*headed - didn't realize and don't care all the non-football programs that people really want have changed licensees and no longer on the channels they have- if it's not football, they don't give a $#!*. Sumore use S band, not prone to rain fade. And no 5 minute delay on news channels.

Just throw away assteruk and grab Indovision as soon as you land back in Indonesia.

Mind you that S-Band are really prone to the Wifi signal interferences....

But I've seen some technique used in the Indonesia satellite forum that most of them said by covering the dish or lnb (I don't really sure - but it's either one) with aluminium foil can reduce the signal interferences like below image ;

If u want chinese channels go for Skynindo, there's about 16 available. Plus their decoder can watch any FTA channels broadcast by any satellite.

Those with Assthrow PVR with new firmware updated, you can plug in a network cable into your PVR set and IPTV is fully functional.

Err.. personally I prefer the new interface... more sleek and seems more responsive than before...
I really like see the 'bounce-up-and-down' style of channel information when you're changing the channel...

Hi. i'm trying to inquire on how to update astro to the latest firmware/software?

before you go and say these --> "put your astro in standby-mode and then unlug your power and etc etc etc ...", that's not the answer i'm looking for becoz there's another alternative way to do that, simply by pressing the buttons.

reason is coz i was at my friend's house when as astro installer came and checked his astro, and i was surprised on the way he did the "software updates" just by pressing some buttons .. i know 1 of it is "standby" , but can't see the others.

so i'm trying to understand if there's anybody who knows of this method ? i'm trying to update my astro b.yond decoder.

thanks!

When you see 'boot' on the front panel, press standby then ch+ then standby button again in sequence...... cool.gif whistling.gif
