Those ports are disabled to read any ext-HDD

If you need to record, either you need a PVR or a DVRecorder (media players that records)

Actually, it is possible. But you still need to pay AssThrow RM10 a month for the function and you need to go look for a particular hard disk model (WD Passport AV 320GB) because it only works with that one type of hard disk. Since that HDD model is now obsolete, it's a hassle to do so.

Correct, that if, you pay RM10 monthly which in turn would to turn it on and then search for the WD model, which is hard to get

i see it stated on it HD and Recording Service... so this mean the recording service is included right...

If you suscribe to any Super Pack, then it is included.

yes.. i subscribed to super pack3... so it is included.. so now the only thing is to get the ext hdd which is hard to get now...

Assteruk is really greedy and/or stupid. Should make the decoder work with any hard disk, not just WD Passport AV...

that's why they provide the PVR decoder upgrade with require you to pay extra for it..
btw, how much have to pay if i wanna change the decoder to PVR?
in their website.. stated there if change decoder is rm300, if wanna keep, then it will be rm400...

Plus you can only record/watch 1 channel at a time with external hard disk, if you get the beyond pvr decoder you can do 2 because of the extra wires. I payed RM150 for my pvr decoder and installation.

i see.. so is just rm150 for pulling another cable+pvr decoder?

No.

They use this opportunity to sell you new decoder old one will become useless.

The RM150 PVR offer has ended.... started when Astro introduced the SuperPacks.
Now is RM300 which includes
1. 2 x 20m RG-6 cable
2. Dual Output LNB (for the dish)
3. B.yond PVR decoder (lifetime warranty)

n currently out of stock due to floods in Thailand..honestly!

Wow.. thats sad...

But lets say if I changed to PVR decoder, can I still add on the HDD to add additional recording hours ?

No as I think the software of PVR doesn't support it and in future is they enable this, I'm sure there will be extra RM5 charge on top of existing RM10 for recording?

The rm150 really nice, now my mother want to install have to pay rm300

n also ABN fibre optic...i m sick n tired of all crappy unifails rip off customers pricing n data limits per month

One thing I hate about fiber optic tho: slow rollout. Wait for UniFi for over a year before they finally come. I thought ABN use C-Band or encrypted DVB-T like what I saw on a website. If they use Fiber, then they're sure to fail unless they also piggyback on TM's existing fiber, and even then they still cannot get as far as Assteruk. I really cannot see how they can promise lightning fast rollout if it even takes TM over one year just to come to Klang, and even now coverage in rest of Malaysia is still s#!t. ABN will fold up before they can even leave Puchong.

I also sick of Malaysianized offerings already. And Astro already have local in house channel. When I tune in to Disney, I want US shows. I dun want more local shows.

Well said ,we are all sick of astro's malaysianised versions, all the channels have lost their glory under astro's skirt! Even streamyx sucks and when then wl Unifi reach all? If ABN is not nationwide then it wl die like MITV for sure.

Just wondering, do you mean by record/watch 1 channel at a time?

Coz it's obvious that we can only watch a channel at a time, unless you have those fancy TVs that have multiple windows to watch channels simultaneously
(& I wonder if that TV even exist, LOL)

& by record, do you mean that you can not record multiple channels at the same time ?
