For a second there i thought Disney Channel + Disney Junior = Disney XD...

question, why am i being charged rm50 for euro & olympic when im a sp subscriber?

cool! before starhub!

and in HD & 4 audio (English, malay, Chinese & Tamil) selection too. BTW, wonder when will Comedy Central is launched there...?

What I know is not so soon......

Btw, Starhub launching 2 New HD channels, education genre in the next wk or so...the test channels are up n running....will update again.

If you can get your hands on a DMB-T receiver, then can receive digital radio. It's all gomen RTM stations only at the moment, but there's about 10 channels. Though, that was last year. Need to dust off the old Pontus handheld DMB-T and try it again to see if the situation's changed.

I am disappointed that TM did not fight to get the channel. Assteruk... I will not go back to assteruk, ever. Have the guts to accuse me of not returning smartcard when I did and even confirmed that the smart card reached them, and want to sue me RM80 over the matter when that card isn't even worth a cent anyway because it's deactivated. Sumore rain fade...

So long the furious emoticon. Just drop it lah, since it settled already.

Settled, but the bad memory already there. Plus, that's not the only bad thing they've done though it's the worst. Now Disney XD which I was pressing TM to fight for the channel...

Since it was in the past, just drop the anger. You can just continue to highlight it to remind others.
No point getting angry while Assteruk still making money.

it looks like the channel belongs to asstro,maybe a quiet JV asstr is good at this,even singapore does not hv it

Saw a job posting in local job website, employin someone to work on the transmission logs for Disney XD, so it should be based in SIn. Maybe its a Malaysia feed.

anyone here in kuantan??? can u recommend astro agent??? just move to kuantan.. want to install astro beyond...plzz help..heehhee

Yes, I do know about the current digital radio (and TV) situation and the DMB-T receiver. The reason I clearly stated "Malaysia still use analog FM radio broadcast..." in my previous comment was that such digital FM radio transmissions is NOT available NATIONWIDE which I meant to be "generally speaking" and not targeting to just some specific BIG cities.

I don't mean any offense to anybody here and I am not angry... I did notice... there are previous replies by various people here who have so easily and casually given replies for such people who are fortunate to be staying in Klang valley (KL, PJ, etc) or some BIG CITIES when the majority of the Malaysian people are staying in small towns and "kampungs". Many people in such areas including me, knows about this and can only read with eyes like this and with saliva drooling out... mixed with a tea-spoon full of jealousy... that TM UniFi and Byond IPTV are not available nationwide and have to wait for ???? years. Actually no problem for me to read such replies, but whenever I read them, my saliva starts to drool from my mouth and I will start reading from a book I bought which teaches me on "how to learn to be patient and stay cool" !! And then wait and wait for an unknown number of years to come to my location, only to realise that it may never come !

I always believe that trying to stay cool will ensure a happier life, with less frustration and anger. Hehe... especially for my "personal" situation. Keep " ing" when we are faced with by thinking more of peace and .

My apologies if I have offended anybody.

* This forum don't allow any post with too many emoticons in one single post so I am forced to make another post here, sorry.

Yes, I acknowledge that its truly unfortunate that it happened to you about your "smartcard incident" which you also remarked some time ago. No need for me to repeat the details here.

Eventhough I still continue to subscribe, I don't love As*_teruk for various other reasons. With that said, rain fade occurs not only for As*_teruk, it also happens for other satellite broadcasters such as DTV in USA. Well... as long as small satellite dish is still being used but other countries have the option to use large satellite dish.

The main issues here, I believe, is ... (1) that our government still do not allow us to install large parabolic dish (only allowed with limited special license) when many people in East Malaysia are allowed to continue to "illegally" use such large dishes... and (2) that our government still continue to extend the exclusive license to As*_teruk even after more than 15 years of monopoly for satellite TV/Radio services !

Remember the time when mobile phone service was initally launched ? ATUR subscription rates for 011 was incredibly high together with the BIG car phones which cost about RM 10 thousand. Later, Celcom was charging a flat monthly subscription of RM 80 and ALL calls are charged extra. Much much later, when competition comes in, the rates situation slightly improved which benefited consumers in some ways. What would happen IF the mobile phone service is monopolised by a single company ?

Any1 facing signal problem for astro? My astro chinese channel: my 301, 309 channels n AOD 9xx channels all facing soundless problem. Dunno wat happen. Pls help.

The "301, 309 channels n AOD 9xx channels" are ALL SD Channels.

The first thing is to check if got loose cable or if this happened after you changed cables which were now connected wrongly. Then try to switch off the Byond power completely (not standby), wait a few minutes and switch power back on and don't touch anything until the time appears on the Byond display in standby, then check the channels again. If this did not fix your audio problem, then continue reading.

Is it Byond (also for Byond PVR) box and did you also subscribe to HD Service (or Superpack) ?

If all yes... did you change the Byond/Byond PVR Digital Audio Output Settings ?

Digital Audio Output have these 2 settings...
(1) Stereo (Analogue and Digital)
(2) Dolby Digital 5.1 (Digital only)

When HDMI connection used...
Both (1) and (2) got "sound" for all SD and HD channels. No problem.

When RCA (red, white) connection used...
For (1), got "sound" for all SD and HD channels.
For (2), NO "sound" for ALL HD CHANNELS ! Only all SD channels got "sound".

You did not give enough details so I am guessing that maybe you have changed to the "wrong Byond audio output settings".

Did you connect 1 Byond to 2 HDTVs. First TV by HDMI cable connection... and Second TV by RCA (red, white) cable connection. If this is your situation... when setting (1) is used... and when you watch any * HD channel, your First TV will have "sound" BUT your Second TV will be "soundless" as you described.

* Correction... wrongly typed "SD"

Also, did you connect Byond box to AVR Amplifier and then from Amplifier to HDTV ?

I think I have previously explained this here before including some other info.

IF all SD and HD channels got no "sound" for ALL cable connections, not cable loose and not wrong cable connections, then I guess your Byond box may have some problem. If everything done and still cannot fix it, then I suggest you phone to Astro Customer Support for help and the support person "may probably" send someone to come to your place to check.



ADDITION: Correction
Mmm... my mistake that I did not read carefully your explanation. I realised that you have "soundless" problem with the few SD channels you mentioned so my above answers on the Byond Audio settings WILL NOT FIX your problem because my answer is for the audio from HD channels.

If signal reception problem, both video and audio will have problem, not just the audio only.

I am from central Pahang.

Eventhough I am not from Kuantan, here's what I can suggest...

Suggestion 1
Go to central Kuantan and look for any signboard with the Astro Logo by searching from the old shophouses along the main road or Jalan Mahkota. Probably you can also search in Berjaya Megamall for any shoplot with the Astro Logo.

Suggestion 2
The answer is already shown at... "http://support.astro.com.my/LocateBranches.aspx"

Here is the Astro Branch in Kuantan...
CSC Kuantan
A-137, Jalan Air Putih, 25300 Kuantan, Pahang.
Operating Hours:
Mon to Fri (9.30am to 5.30pm)
Sat (9.30am to 2.00pm)
Sunday / Public Holiday: Close

Suggestion 3
You can phone to ...
1 300 82 3838
(8am - 12midnight)
Customer Service Line
... to ask for contact address to any Astro Agent in Kuantan.

Actually you can find the answers if you have spent some time to do your own internet search at Astro website. I have done the work for you. If you want to register as a new subscriber, I think nobody can "recommend" which Astro Agent is the best. And, if you are an existing subscriber and want to move your existing installation, then nobody can suggest which installer is the best.
