If the RM700 is not a prob, suggest yu go for FHD...
Who knows when yu might need the feature? Eg using a BluRay player 2watch BluRay discs?
By so doing, there'll be NO regrets...

That's exactly wat me am doing since updraded to PVR Byond!!

Only 1 thing 2do...
Wait till 3/9 ...No more guessing games then!!

haha dont know...i never buy PPV b4 but i know the interface is roughly like that lorh

Btw fyi 1080i is NOT really Full HD...
It's wat's known as Interlaced Mode.

IINM there's no Sat/terrestrial transmission which uses TRUE FULL HD....ie 1080p....

There is on US DirecTV.....their on demand movies

Hi. I am new to this forum. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing a problem which I am currently having. Would appreciate if someone can share the solution.

I am subscribed to Astro Byond with HD. After recording any HD show on the PVR, and playing back to watch, I experienced frequent interruption to the show. The show just freezes like it went into pause, then resume. The interruption can be very frequent, about 10 to 20 times in an hour show. Each interruption can last for about 2 seconds to even about 2 minutes.

This problem did not arise when I got the PVR in Feb 2011. It’s only started about 3 months ago. I wonder why this is so. The hard disc is only about 25% recorded.

Apparently any WD 150GB external harddisk can now be used for Astro recording service. But the problem is, not many computer shop still carries a 150GB WB external harddisk. Besides, the storage really is "meh"

Alternatively, one can order a PVR EASi 320GB harddisk from Astro. For the first order, you will be charged RM80 only. Any subsequent order will be charged RM200 each.

You know how many satellites serving DirecTV? (Hint: their dish has 4-5 LNB and is oblong in shape). How many satellites serving Assteruk? (Hint: two of our MEASAT satellites, including MEASAT-1 which should rightfully be considered a national heritage, was sold off/leased to South Africa instead of being used to provide more bandwidth...).

Furthermore, aside from at least three dozen cable TV and IPTV providers, they have a real competing satellite TV provider- Dish Networks. Because of the competition they have to keep creating new features to attract subscribers.

Assteruk? Government backed monopoly in the satellite TV market, and the other providers are pretty much no match due to their structure/stupidity, made assteruk extremely arrogant and unwilling to listen to subscribers. MegaTV died because they didn't evolve to compete with assteruk. MITV got squashed because assteruk made a deadly move of offering their decoder FOC with sign up as soon as MITV came out, which MITV cannot risk doing cause they stupidly put all their capital into R&D for a strange proprietary IPTV-over-DVB-T decoder instead of going for something that's already readily available. DETV is still alive, but because of their offering they're only popular among Chinese folks who usually keep it as a second decoder for channels that assteruk dun have. FineTV died because of stupidity of overpricing and not enough content (half a dozen channels of in-house local crap? Laughable). TM IPTV? Good channel offering, but lousy rollout speed and cannot unbundle IPTV for TV channels only. And lastly, ABN is still awfully silent...
