i'm using the 2nd gen PVR. It has HDMI.

Hmm, when I swapped to Maxis IPTV they replaced my 1st gen PVR and non-PVR boxes for two new 1st gen PVRs, not the second gen one. Is there much difference apart from the wifi?

Some of the user here claimed that apart from build in wifi, the 2nd gen pvr decoder has faster processor and more RAM as well as more responsive than the 1st generation, albeit astro actually didn't reveal at all both of decoder hardware specification to the public (except for 500GB internal HDD). Yes, I admit the first generation sometime are slow to respond to the user request but that kind of problem already solved now by the new epg update.

I wonder why astro did not provide the 2nd generation pvr for the IPTV user? Perhaps it is due to the internal wifi receiver that may cause a conflict with the IPTV network that resides on their specific VLAN tagging.

hi guys, just wanna ask.
just changed to this new PVR decoder today.
still the same old interface. internet wifi works fine.
the usb slot front and back has no use at all? my old HD decoder at least can charge phone/mifi, this one cannot. yours can charge any phone?

My dad always delete older episodes where as my sister haven't watched it. Then she will rage!


There's no effing way for me to subscribe Maxis Shiatband. Ping high as f***uk and how about torrent throttling

Yes you can, HDMI will be enabled for every Byond decoders through new EPG. Not the HD channels though(isn't it obvious? :haha:)

They will release it, don't worry mang. I have not received my update also. I'm also using the Samsung PVR

Hardware wise yes.

Other than that, older decoders are cheaper to make! And they don't need WiFi!

how about this type byond decoder? will get new EPG update?

mine decoder is like in this this pict.
this type decoder manufactured by PACE? SAMSUNG?

look like the button is not as like above pict (1st gen PVR). (post https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2896654/+1860#)

By pace. yes it will receive the update.

So from 28th, ch.952 & ch.953 will be combined and be placed at ch.130 instead (used to be Mustika info ch). Wise move Astro, atleast there's more space. Now, if only First & Best are combined too...

Astro first and best no need combine, just remove totally from the list, waste of bandwidth. Been wonder who will buy this limited time only and highly censored on demand movie.

I am using this too and hoping to get the update soon

Can I just use hdmi cable on my pace decoder?because mine currently have component and hdmi

There are many rich people out there!!They support all the way!!I read somewhere, since their subscriber base is large they just need 5% support to keep those channels. Thats why they dont entertain our complaints on delayed, limited and censored screenings !

Forgot to add one more info. ch.951 ABO Movies Thangathirai will be shifted to ch.241 on same day.

As quoted from my friend:



#sarcasm

Only if your decoder already updated to the new firmware....
If youre still using the old firmware and you didnt take hd service, your hdmi port will be turn off by astro...

Thanks for the update,so 241 means most likely in future wl be upscaled to HD

i use byond v7.0 and subscribed to hd service so it's ok right?

yes... it's okay...
What connection that you're using right now?

(Props to some friends)

From 28th, the ABO lineup looks like this:

ch.952 & 953 = ch.130
ch.951 = ch.241
