better go for PVR la...u will enjoy it...trust me..

For Non-PVR B.yond decoders, when the banner is shown at the bottom of the screen, does the Info button work ?

Assteruk PVR B.yond has dual tuner. Normal B.yond only has one tuner. One tuner record, the other tuner watch TV. Or both tuner can record, or both tuner can be used for watching two channels using Picture-in-picture.

I have one of those TV from the analog era. The TV has two tuners and can receive two channels at the same time, showing one channel as main and another channel in a small window. So I can confirm it exists

How to do that? Can you teach me?

i dont think u can use that fixture to watch astro channel at the same time...

Actually, I think you can only. Dish network users can. I dun have PVR, I in fact already cancelled my Assteruk. I only have a nonworking normal B.yond decoder with the CAM card returned.

It's probably just Assteruk limiting their firmware for the evulz if cannot tho.

Bro, dun say think got only lah and you dun even using one.

Ha ha

Good news, perhaps?

you have to know that measat is leasing its transponder to other providers across asia and africa.

Nope, i think the new coming satellite is leasing transponder to MEASAT. (i think)

The new satellite is using Ka Band. For sure its only for the providers, not for us. haha.

lol Ka-Band. BTW, where's the subs for most HD channel?



Spotted Maxis IPTV.

one of the USA sat TV operator is using Ka band, benefit is wider bandwidth, smaller dish size

Was googling about Ka band and I came across this:

http://www.gilatnetworks.com/data/uploads/.../gilat-vsat.pdf

"Ka frequencies (~30GHz uplink & ~20GHz downlink) are almost
twice the frequency used by Ku (~14GHz uplink and ~12GHz
downlink). When high frequencies are transmitted and received in a
heavy rain fall area, a noticeable signal degradation occurs and is
proportional to the amount of rain fall (commonly known as known
as “rain fade”). The higher frequency the more a signal is susceptible
to rain fade. A typical Ku-band rain fade rate is ~1dB/sec while the
fade rate in Ka-band is significantly higher at around 3-5dB/sec.


Most new Ka-band satellites implement spot-beam technology
to reuse the frequency band across the desired coverage area. As
opposed to wide beams that cover large territories (e.g. all of Europe),
spot beams cover much smaller territories (1/50 – 1/100 of the large territory)."



With the description above, would this new generation of Ka band improve or at least maintain at the current Ku band performance involving rain fade giving that this new Ka band is using higher frequencies, but using spot-beam technology instead?

well i guess there is no purpose 2 buy the latest n best TV ever now unless u watch bluray a lot when our own assteruk n free channels r still crappier than 6 feet underground channel tv streaming FTW n i can still stream all major international channels in LQ with 1mbps...still not yet test with HQ though

Yup, compared 2std Byond decoder, even with an attached External HDD, PVR is so much more worthwhile...
Hv been enjoying it since Install'n last year!!

may be higher power output and bigger dishes will reduce rain-fade for Ka band transmission

below is the footprint from a single Ka band satellite multiple spot beams

heard some rumours from other forum that Astro maybe will use 100cm dish (current dish is 65cm for byond, 60cm for silver dish).

Maybe !! the battle for survival has begun I suppose,time to get to work.fight rain fade to remain in the game!
