is fine astro provide malay language or subtitles

but please dont hardcode the subtitles into video like what 393
and if the channels do have english or chinese subtitles for other regions please do include them in as well

ESPN STARSPORTS carry La Liga, so Astro take UEFA Champions League instead.


Astroll (fail) first 3D pulak dah...

hello.... need to ask bout beyond...

This morning i got call from astro saying that my old decorder is not under waranty anymore. So this caller suggest to me to upgrade to beyond without any installation fees and so on. Just need to add additional RM20 for the monthly payment.

My question is if i decided to upgrade to beyond, can i watch all the programs from normal tv? or do i need to buy new HD tv just to watch from beyond?

Please clarify. Thanks in advance.

A normal CRT TV will still work with Astro B.yond decoders

no need hdtv... i've upgrade to byond with crt tv...

you wont need hd tv for beyond but actually if you not using HD tv, you also won't need to use beyond, why paying extra 20 to them?

Hi all, was watching champions league just now and for this problem "please insert your smart card or call customer service" this warning comes and then goes the moment I press a button on remote.

Is this a sign my decoder is dying?

I am having the same problem,just started this morning,it flashes a while and goes off,another stupid security scan??

Yes, I can confirm that there is nothing wrong with your Byond decoder. Also for my Byond, exactly like what is happening to you and Smileguy, started very early this morning, I think at about 3 am 19-09-12.

I am guessing so I suspect As*teruk is making some technical changes to the smartcard encrypted software or doing some tests on their satellite transmission which caused the "wrong smartcard" message and blank screen which lasts about 1 second. No need to touch any buttons on the remote... the message will disappear and the channel will then return to normal. Happened many times in 1 hour from 5 am to 6 am, each time lasting only a short while.

Phoned to a few of my friends (late sleepers) and they also noticed the same thing happen. Hmm... I am sure As*teruk Customer Support today will be hit by many phone calls from many subscribers who thought their Byond boxes have problem, so no need for me to phone As*teruk because I think I will get a "busy" line, hehe.

I got the same error message about my Astro Smartcard while watching Astro around 2am just now.

same also. my beyond get error message.

Thanks for the feedback.

But i was told that my old decoder was not under waranty anymore... furthermore with this old decoder, i cant change the channel dy since 2 days ago. dunno if it have any thing to do with that above mentioned.

The DVB-T2 are not up and running yet. My DVB-T box is spoilt too. According to MDA, the DVB-T2 boxes in SIN will only be available in the market in Mar 2013. Have to see the updates then.

Guys.....take a look...look like astro is reconfiguring their channels?

More like 'reconfiguring' their CS system more like it. I hope they fix their website because sometimes I get '400 Bad Request' errors, which can only be solved by deleting their cookies.

Ouh, nice...

Hi all..I just only got Byond and am wondering something regarding the on screen info..last time when I press info, I can key in another channel and view the info for tat channel without actually disrupting the channel I'm viewing..I noticed I can't do this with byond..is it a limitation or is there another way?

Hi,

First posting here. I am a Astro Beyond subscriber with the first Generation Beyond PVR with no internal HDD (am using an External WD). My monthly subscription is about RM155/=.

Just receive a call from CS offering me an additional PVR and replace my existing unit with the new PVR @ RM50/= extra per month (total 2 new PVR). Installation charges is RM100/=.

I had taken up the offer as my wife has taken over the existing Astro with the usual AOD chinese show and the Korean series one after another.

Is it worth it ? Also I understand that the new PVR with Twin decoder needs to have additional cable installed is that true?

jackdon.

haha i also checked suddenly got new HD channel already...i b staying up late just 2 c how this channel is like

Yes. the newer B.yond PVR has dual tuner (i.e. 2 cables come in from the B.yond Dish).
RM50 is quite cheap...
