whistling.gif .... well, more of HD content to be more precise.
but it said this
"The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digitalvideo signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP"

So yeah?... lol
yeah I know how to do the ARC thingy, but i can never get it work... the ARC is available via output of H1 from the TV and my AVR is receiving the AVR from its HDMI MainOutput lol...But, i'll figure out the ARC thingy later, my mainconcern now is fpr the HDCP thingy to be solved.
Wow... that's.. a lot... just for one T.T.... I'll check out the made in china one later i guess.. but lemme solve this one issue first... smile.gif

Thanks for the info smile.gif

well if you want to solve quick and easy, plug hdmi cable straight to your tv
digital coaxial from assteruk and media player(why do you need this when you have smart tv?!!)to optical input of avr

Because my main reason as that It's easier to to my setup... plus my AVR MAIN OUTPUT is direct to the TV and I also have another AVR SUB Output direct to my overhead projector....That's the whole point of the set up... So you recommend me to cal the shop that I purchase my AVR/TV from?
*
yup they will setup everything for you

UPDATE:just checked it out.wasnt the best quality as it wasnt connected to my main tv and its only composite
funny though they offer that channel for 40(not 2 supersport but only one)

Hi guys...
Wanna ask.. Currently i'm subscribed with family basic package that come with beyond decoder. N it can only be used with yellow, white n red cable. When plug hdmi cable. No signal at my tv.
Now i'm thinking of changing to superpack 1 package rm125, they will change decoder right? Is there any extra charges that i need to take note of?
*
you can either choose to swap to Samsung Byond PVR
or stay with Samsung Byond but you will still get your Superpack 1 channels.
As the it also comes with HD services, within 24 hours of upgrading pack, your hdmi port on your Samsung Byond will be enabled.
I recommend you change the package first and keep your current decoder then only consider about as it requires two RG6 cable from your dish.
The installer will also change your Single LNB to Dual LNB for your PVR .
FYA, the PVR can record two channels at the same time so it require two cables.
P/S:your HDMI port is not enabled because you didn't subscribe HD services.And yes you wonder why Assteruk is so cheapskate. They just want to suck your money.Simple.

just want to ask a quick question..

my grandparents are still using the old astro silver box decoder..in the recent Astro bill, they sent a leaflet saying my grandparents can switch to the new byond decoder FOC..

my question is, is it really free? will they need to pay the extra RM20 per month for Byond? If they dont need to add another RM20, then they will change..if not, my grandparents will go on with the old decoder..

so is it free switching?
*
can change for free, but dont change first, wait until the whole decoder they block only change.
and if you dont subscribe for hd services, no rm20 is implied
Old decoder: not smart card locked
byond decoder: smart card lock

and i really wonder why some of the user here insist of not replacing their old decoder to the Byond decoder. Isn't better to be able to watch HD channel and have newer decoder instead  rclxub.gif ?

most people still have CRT wut. -.-
and smart card also can interchange

Got a question here. Since the PVR decoder are dual tuner, if i bring my decoder to my friend's place where his house only got the single tuner Byond decoder and plug in my decoder and leave the 2nd tuner slot empty will my decoder be able to use and receive the signal without change any of the setting ?

My friend just installed astro and the series he wanted to watch already finish airing since i got recorded it on my PVR so i thought swapping our decoder temporary for him to enjoy the series.
*
yes you can.
if you want to watch certain channels, just unplug it from the other tuner and plug into the next one.
eg:you want to watch 832 but it says no service, take the cable from tuner 1 and plug it to tuner 2.repeat as watching other channel

i really doubt that astro will give you samsung decoder as i think they still have pace ones.
the only confirmed way to get it is getting NJOi new set which is 408 and includes samsung decoder and then you can upgrade to astro for free

Hi guys...need some feedback

Currently i'm using Unifi 5mbps rm149, i'm considering getting astro superpack 3 RM155
Dilemma is this, should i go with Unifi + Astro or Maxis + Astro IPTV + Phone ?

Unifi + Astro = RM 149 + RM 155
                   = RM 304

Maxis + Astro IPTV + Phone = RM 148 + RM130 + RM20
                                          = RM298

If i go with Maxis option i would be paying slightly less in total + 10 additional select channels but then after contract finish if i decide to terminate Astro, I will not have any tv programmes to watch compared to Unifi.

Another thing is that i don't know how good is maxis once i switch over to them, how good is their customer support? So far been using Unifi for 2+ years no issue, very happy with the service.
*
you should go with it.
or you can get unifi vip 10+superpack 3.
just like me, low ping unlike maxis fiber.
if you upgrade from vip 5 can get platinium, chinese or sports pack free. I recommend platinium as it have a lot channels not available in astro.worth the 50 bucks for the channels and internet.


P/S:Many people are unsatisfied with maxis fiber

Thanks for your feedback. I just worried being given the runaround if one day if i subscribe maxis then got issue, maxis say is tm, tm say is maxis  rclxub.gif .
You also use maxis fiber before this?
*
no but if you check the forum here, many poeple say that the latency is very high and it causes lag.
Some also say disconnect frequently.

he means two different subscription obviously.
and if you can hack it, it might work as they both have the same backbone.

The best part here is astro plays save if u dont get astro it is not astro fault (just like in all other issues ) its the HSBB problem of Unifi and Maxis!! We hv read many complains from customers when traffic is heavy ,reception unsatisfactory and astro had said its not their problem end but the network!

ananda krishan owns maxis so he will blame tm for that, meanwhile unifi is so stable, which translates maxis and astro arent stable at all
