QUOTE(sevendogz @ Mar 14 2006, 12:05 PM) I am planning to DIY a htpc but don't know much details about what can be and what can't be done in malaysia, like hookin up astro, record stuff and hooking up to a amp to play music over hifi and tv and so on. Any experience expert around can share tips or not? Your HTPC can be intergrated with Astro receiver by using DVB-S pci card. It just like a tv tuner card. You can record and play as well. |

BTW I'm looking forward to explore more deep into other ways. With DVB-S card you can get more channel from outside.There's nothing good to watch on TV anyway. Astro digital is also like crap. Why want to invest money to get crappy resolution ala Astro?? BTW, looking forward to when astro will provide FREE streaming of shown TV series from Net. Just like US are doing for shows like CSI and Heroes!!!! BAH! Waste time and money Added on March 29, 2007, 11:57 pmHmmm... seems like I'm the only person here in the forums who is using Linux as a Media Center. Twinhan.com |

QUOTE(myjunk @ Apr 1 2007, 10:29 AM) Yeap.. misunderstood there. Supposed to say.. looking forward to when (NEVER) astro provide free streaming! Well myjunk, the rs232 and some with lpt1 port is for just for JTAG or upgrading firmware for STB and for trobleshoting purpose. RJ11 socket for data connection via internal stb modem.Remember that RS232 port they had at the back of the set top box? Supposed to be for modem right? I know there are some ppl already using those dvb cards and getting terrestial signals from the air. Never tried myself though. Not much we can do about this Stb unless we have some dedicated people to rewrite the firmware which is offer more option and choices. Currently this firmware stb is lock to the measat signal. pity. Astro is really "kedekut" not like our Thailand they provide few free to air channel and alternative to the user, where the user just pay one time payment and forget about monthly payment forever. |
