Oh .Is there anyway to hack the software?

Don't think so. Dolby Digital 5.1 is the standard for HD broadcasts, capped at 448kbps (DVD quality audio). This is the same audio you'd get even from the iTunes Store.

DTS is requires larger files than Dolby Digital, which is why the latter is preferred for streaming and broadcast providers, as well as on DVD. DTS is only becoming more common these days with Blu-ray thanks to the 50GB storage capacity offered by Blu-ray discs.

My Byond PVR just received the 8.0 firmware upgrade last night... and after the upgrade it simply stopped responding to the remote control and was automatically rebooting every 2-3 minutes

I disconnected the power, waited 10 seconds, and then plugged it back in and remote control is working fine and the reboots stopped. However, all of my recordings no longer work. They are listed under My TV, but attempts to play the recordings yielded a blank screen.

Did anyone else encounter similar problems?

Should I format the hard drive, or just delete the problematic recordings?

I was able to delete the problematic recordings... and have scheduled a few new recordings on the PVR. Will check later if the recordings were successful smile.gif

Recordings still do not work... only have audio, but no video.
I reset the PVR to factory settings, rebooted it, and it finally worked.
Wasted all the episodes of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations and American Dad I had not had the time to watch yet sad.gif

Ah almost in the same condition of you.
I asked for a swap of Pace STB to Samsung STB!
I have many recordings that i haven't watch ! :/

It's ridiculous having to wipe a system after a firmware upgrade - especially when there's zero warning beforehand.

My STB is working fine now though... not willing to pay RM50 for an unnecessary upgrade, and I do not have confidence in using Samsung hardware. I have a Samsung-free household and would like to keep it that way

Hi all,

I may be slowpoke, but last few days when I start-up Astro TV Guide mobile app and update/refresh contents, the programme list are blank!

Try uninstall and reinstall from "My Apps" but I can no longer able to login again.

Then try search for the app in Google Play Store, it won't show up (meaning no such app). I can only reinstall it from my installed apps history list.

Is this app discontinued?

Looks to be the case... same with the iOS version, no longer available and can't work anymore sad.gif
