I was hoping in next SEA games edition, it'll be in HD for all event.

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 put in on standby... then on its own did a boot sequence.

Press "+" at volume side and "OK" button until the LED blink twice.

For me, I don't know. But I think the best person to answer you and get much better clarification is Astro Customer Support. Call their toll free phone line and ask them whether there are any "recurring charges". If got recurring charges and if you don't want such charges, clearly inform them to cancel after one month.

normal decoder or beyond???
that mean u dont want to have second subscription right??

i think it can..
but would it be hard for u to bring ur tv and ur beyond  upstairs and downstairs when u only have one tv?

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!

Thanks! i'll try it later.
if you're using the leave astro in standby mode, i'm not really quite sure.
but this is what i did though. before i went to sleep, i left the astro b.yond in standby mode by pressing the "power or standby button". and the next morning came, my brother switch on the decoder, and voila~, it's at version 7.0 or 7.2.

But if you don't wanna do that, use the method which lowyat member/forumer "chikana" taught us. i've yet to tried that method, but i can confirm it works coz i saw it with my own eyes astro b.yond doing the software updates without waiting for the updates to arrived.

hope that helps.

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