QUOTE(pecet76 @ Sep 19 2012, 04:42 PM) 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.

QUOTE(Pink Spider @ Oct 2 2012, 07:24 AM) means, to use PVR, need to connect Astro decoder to internet line  That's not needed. Highly likely, your decoder isn't the PVR type. I have SuperPack 4 too with PVR service, but because the decoder isn't the PVR type, the PVR function isn't available.

QUOTE(vincent09 @ Oct 7 2012, 06:41 PM) Just want to know, if the superpack 3 say got PVR, is it include the PVR recorder or just the service? If you want the PVR decoder,need to pay extra for the Beyod PVR decoder. Else, you will get the normal Beyond PVR decoder, and to use the PVR service, you need the WD external hard disk.

QUOTE(vincent09 @ Oct 7 2012, 06:58 PM) But I subscribe almost for half year also no PVR recorder.... Last time I upgrade, the installer say no PVR recorder include, on that time I though is just free for the service. Or is it the Astro B.yond that black box is PVR already? Then direct plug the External HDD then can run ? The PVR service is included in the package, it is only that your STB doesn't support it unless you put the WD external HDD (expensive and hard to find) at the back of the decoder or get a Beyond PVR (less expensive, but need wiring).

QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ Feb 18 2013, 12:25 AM) Second one is of course Assteruk loves to force providers into exclusive rights in their contract. Now, you know in certain countries like US, EU HK, NZ and Australia, Assteruk's contracts will all be deemed illegal by the gomen- wordings that indicate the contract to be an "exclusive right" will immediately result in antitrust lawsuit once word leaks out. Sadly, in Bolehland, anything goes. Assteruk can claim that the channel is exclusively available on assteruk (ie openly admit to exclusive contracts) and the government won't do anything about it, but is in fact encouraging it  I don't know about HK and NZ, but in US and EU for example, exclusivity isn't illegal, except in certain cases.

QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ Feb 18 2013, 09:57 AM) Idk, how come in the US you can get Disney, Cartoon Network, etc on multiple different providers, but in bolehland, it's Assteruk or nothing. Heck, you can get many channels on multiple different providers in The Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia! Easy really, that's because Disney wants to make money. If, for example, Comcast, pay enough money to Disney to let it has ESPN exclusively, shutting down the likes of AT&T and Verizon, they can. Content providers that are mandated by anti-trust laws to be made available to multiple providers are rare, like NBC. Ever wondered why ESPN channels in Astro are renamed to Fox Sports?

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Apr 9 2013, 09:20 AM) Hi guys... I'm not sure if it's allowed to ask this question here. I stay at rural, and finding Astro signal here are pain in the ass. The only place that have signal is at my friend's satellite dish location. I'm on Byond HD and my friend on Byond SD. My question: -Can we share his satellite dish with coax splitter? -If we share, will the signal be effected? I read at Youtube there will be signal lost, some say need to buy higher frequency to avoid signal or quality issue. And I even read the signal can't transmit SD and HD at the same time. -Let's say it's okay to share, where can I found this at Lowyat.Net? I'm at Miri, prefer buy online. Finding rare item at electronic shop will be wasting time and make me mad. -Is there any degree or location for installing the satellite dish? I heard some say yes but most people will randomly set the dish. I installed one at my hometown blindly but at my current place now, no luck so far. Thanks... Assuming that your dish is correctly installed, then you should mow down whatever trees or poles or any thing that block the line-of-sight between the dish and the satellite.

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Apr 9 2013, 02:30 PM) No trees, poles or building. LNB changed too.  Then it is safe to assume that your dish isn't properly installed (I have seen enough diabolical dish installations that can cause 'service unavailable' message to appear when a slow breeze happens), the wiring between LNB-decoder isn't fitted perfectly or maybe decoder problem. Using a coax splitter isn't going to work. Especially for Beyond!

QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ May 31 2013, 03:48 PM) And TM cannot bring in Disney probably because of Assteruk unfair monopoly exclusive rights lock >.< It isn;t illegal though, just like Astro's exclusive right for BPL matches.

QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ May 31 2013, 10:40 PM) Not illegal in bolehland >.< if they try this is Australia or HK hey'd be in deep s**t Another reason to want change. This practice should be made illegal because it forces rakyat to suck up to Assteruk's ever increasing subscription cost and bullying if they need a particular show that only these channels are exclusively having. Singapore can now have Disney on both Starhub and Mio. Why can't we! It is also legal in Australia at least. Heard about the HBO monopoly by Foxtel? Even Apple has to stop selling Game of Thrones within iTunes in Australia because of this. The practice is legal in EU and also USA. Not sure about HK though.

QUOTE(calvin_yit @ Jun 28 2013, 04:08 AM) To all the experts in this thread, quick question, Just got a free upgrade to PVR last month. After playing around with the recording and stuff am curious about the usb port at the decoder. Can i plug in my personal HDD with video files to it and play it utilizing the decoder as a media player? (Just to be clear, am not thinking of extracting encryted astro programs. Its for mkv/avi files i DL for my mom so she can watch on tv.) No you cannot with Astro decoder.

QUOTE(azrin_kiko @ Jul 5 2013, 09:13 AM) When I call astro yesterday, the CS said there are no charges or additional condition to swap the old dmt to byond. So the old dmt can be kept without paying rm80 to the installer. There is also no contract and it is not compulsory to subscribe HD service. So any non byond users can swap for free with no condition. Just upgraded one of my old decoder to Beyond HD, and they didn't even take the old decoder back, only the smart card.
