The update is for the usage of ethernet only. I thought also for the astro-on-the go

all sifus,

I plan to upgrade my normal astro to astro byond and may I know is this FOC provided I return the old decoder, smart card but no satelite dish as I'm living in a condo where centralised dish is provided.

arigato!

Not sure if there has been any changes, but from what I know before this, condo residents need approval from the management to install byond..if ur condo already has byond dish, then no problem n yes it is FOC..

Correct me if im wrong

thanks for the reply, my condo only have the SD dish.. the byond HD dish is not available yet. thus the management has approved the residents to install the byond dish only within their approved location.

Astro will ask you to return the old dish which should have come together with your decoder

Hi guys, just wish to confirm, how can we perform surge protection for astro beyond dish and decoder?

I plan to buy belkin surge protector but somehow the ariel port seemed mismatch...

Any idea?

that's the prob, i don't hv the old dish as i'm using centralised dish all the while, will astro charge me for this?

Astro Byond updated to version 7.0.........19.May 2012.

Software version: 6.0.1.001.HYBRIDDVRLite.5B

Strangely my Byond decoder is not PVR, YET it has V7.0 firmware...

Maybe for Pace decoder only. Technicolor and Kaon decoder do not have the update yet.

I wonder if those who still using normal old Astro can still see ch.100 & ch.200...?

They will intend to charge.
But i told them last time when the installer come to install they did not give me the disc, so i don't have it.
Finally i think Astro waive the charge on me. (Can't remember as it was long time ago.)

Yes, today morning the Byond box (not Byond PVR) also got software updated to version 7.0. Now can plug in the ethernet cable and successfully detected my modem.

Note... the Byond box network connection is not used for watching Astro On-The-Go directly on TV. Astro On-The-Go is for watching channels streamed through internet to mobile smartphones but be careful of data charges from mobile telcos if not on monthly plan. At present, not available for android smartphones, will come in future. We can also use our streamyx broadband connection to watch Astro On-The-Go channels so that we don't have to pay data charges. If the modem got wifi, then can use smartphone internet browser to watch.

I think the Byond box network connection is used for selecting and confirming movies on Video On Demand so that we don't have to use sms or phone call to confirm purchase of any VOD movies to watch. I did not subscribe to PVR so cannot check what is inside the "Video On Demand" in the Home Menu. Please correct me if I am wrong. The Byond box network connection is definitely NOT for Astro On-The-Go service. Yes for VOD.

I watched the Astro On-The-Go preview channels using my computer internet browser and the streamed video quality is not HD and ... ah hem... is of course cannot compare with the Byond box direct to TV.

Channel 100 is now VOD Help.

* Byond PVR (with internal harddisk) software update started a few days ago.

Here are a few screenshots of the Byond (not PVR) menu...

Hohoho...

Don't know anything yet about the Byond / Byond PVR "manufactured" by Technicolor and Kaon. My Byond, not PVR, (manufactured by Pace) was updated to version 7.0 early this morning at about 2 am.

Nak tanya

Upah pasang RM100 tu bayar dekat tukang terus ke? atau masuk dalam bill?

Setahu saya, caj pemasangan RM100 untuk pelanggan baru dibayar terus kepada sipemasang. Sipemasang mengeluarkan resit (bukan Astro). Caj pemasangan tidak dimasukkan kedalam penyata bil. Sekira masih ragu-ragu dan hendak pasti 100%, sila menelepon Perkhidmatan Pelanggan Astro (Astro Customer Support) dan mereka boleh jawap dengan kepastian. Dua tahun dulu, saya pernah menelepon Astro apabila saya mengambil peti dekoder ketiga tetapi sekarang tidak pasti samaada keadaan ini telah berubah atau tidak.

Owh mekasih diatas info anda

Tadi si pemasang call dia kata sedia kan wang RM100

Just nak confirmation
