Super! Will try it. Thanks a lot

yup, thats how we do it at home as well, the RCA cable is plugged into our DVR (AC RYAN) and record it from there. The file is portable to any player.

I did submit my complain regarding this issue but they only mentioned that its my condo management that doesn't allow to install satellite dish or upgrade the satellite signal reception ..

I understand some AC Ryan player has a HDMI port, have you ever tried to connect it to the Astro decoder using a HDMI cable ?

do you mean HDMI output to Astro IN?

hmmm, nope, the reason being for such a connection?

I was wondering if you can record a HD program with HD quality on Astro if you connect your AC Ryan to your Astro decoder using a HDMI cable instead of RCA.

Nope, because ACRYAN doesnt have HDMI input; it only has HDMI output.

moreover if its HDMI input, I'm pretty sure they would have placed some copy restriction similar to CINAVIA, since its digital.

I see. Thanks. May I know which version of AC Ryan you are using ?

Oh never mind. I found out the model already. Thanks anyway

Put a personal one somewhere around your apartment

does anyone notice the audio jittering on CH310 since last night?

only that channel have issues, tried other HD/SD channels no problem

This morning on FMP!

Yeah, there is only one DVR model for ACRyan (Playon!DVRHD )

Sorry to burst your bubble, but looking through the specs, it only records HD through the DVB-T tuners (i.e. HD Terrestrial like RTM HD trials). For video in recording, it only can record RCA (yellow-red-white) in

As of to date .. no one dares to install the satellite dish on their own as the management had already gave us warning. Penalty will be issued if found installing one outside the unit illegally ..

Correct, thats what I said. There is no HD recordings (480p) but i could live with its upscaling to TV;overall its not too bad.

Have been converting my pre-recorded from videocam as well.

It's a shame that we can't record it in HD but this will do for now. It's better than losing all your recorded Astro programs. Astro replaced my Astro decoder about 2 months ago and all the recorded programs cannot be watched with the new decoder due to all the programs being locked to my old decoder

By the way, would it be possible to record a recorded program ? Because I have quite a few recorded Astro programs that I'd like to transfer to my computer. Or the AC Ryan will record whatever program that is playing on the TV ? And may I know how much this AC Ryan with recording function cost and where you can buy it ?

I need to check with my hubby on the cost, and where, he is the one who bought it. There are couple of seller sin LYN as well, you could check with them.

recording a pre-recorded, I dont see why not. as long as there is a AVIN to the DVR, you could record, source could be, DVD, camcoder, TV, etc.

Thanks a lot. Do update when you have found out the price and where did your husband buy it. Thanks again

The price should be in the range of RM 650. He bought it used for RM350.

I am an existing Astro subscriber with the old set-top box.

Can i switch my set-top box and dish to B.yond set-top box and dish for FREE but not subscribe to the HD services?
