Yup experience this before. Astro swap to new decoder. Happen when changing channels up and down

Waaa how are you able to know got a new box coming out? Got an insider at astro sharing info ar?

Can help to ask how to get free channels?

Actually what is phantom recordings? Is it really "phantom" where you didnt book it but the recording still happen by itself? What happens if you play it?

If formating the hard drive solves the problem i guess it must be a data corruption or file system issue? (just taking a guess based on similar experience with PCs)

how to solve my astro problem with sound? when i on the beyond, the volume is nearly max, when i tune it down, off the beyond and turn on back, the volume becoma max again

U control the sound using byond remote or Tv remote?

Removed.

sorry im using beyond pvr, and im using beyond remote

Never encounter that b4 when using byond remote. Decoder got update to latest software kah?

i check software ver 9 april 2013
can reset to factory default? if can how

I dont think reseting to default settings will help, but if you want to this is how: Settings -> Installation Settings -> *enter PIN* -> Restore Factory Settings.

After the popup confirmation, power off your PVR (turn off the main switch) wait 10s then power on again.

If you are a satellite user, at the first time installation screen just keep pressing OK OK OK OK all the way until you arrive at the channel again

You swap to HD PVR?
Which type of STB
would you mind sharing the manufacturer of it?
Just go to system Version you can see it
Just type in 5 front digits will do

Thanks

No all is first hand info

Nothing is free bro

Yup it means exactly like that , there are no issue when you playing it
But it will be an issue because it would suck your harddisk space because you will never going to delete it

I seriously don't have an answer for that but more likeable to be a bug.Because like i said earlier w/o help from within ASTRO tech team on this,all my findings wont go anywhere,But it still goes down on resources issues i think since the matter has been so long already.I dont think their MGMT would just spend money for just 1 bug fixes and 1 updates for it.

But this is just my view and opinion lah on the whole situation , I might be wrong lah


Just hope new updates would come soon enough to fix the issues.

How about the bootloader it should be version 312 not 306
You can try restore factory settings OR force Clear NVRAM

to do force Clear NVRAM

- reboot your STB
- on your STB press and hold both ch+ and ch- until the front stb panel display shows CLR
- then release wait it reboot again
- it will go into installation setup just press OK on everything


I assume you are not a IPTV subscriber
* make sure the MODE is HYBRID and not IP otherwise you cant proceed *


If you wanted to update your bootloader

- reboot your STB
- on your STB press power button and press CH-
- continuously press power and press ch- repeatedly until software update shows
- sit back and wait until it is done it will reboot itself and check again at system version it will be 312


But by right it should not affect the tv volume to go max at all
If soft audio output issues are there but max volume is the first time
That is why forum can be a great place to get information

There are a question if the above did not solved your issue would glad if you can input me

1 ] Do you use ASTRO REMOTE to control the Volume of the TV or Volume of the STB
- these are two different things don't be confused

2 ] Can you try this
a] totally unplug your Astro STB [ set up box ] and on your tv check your tv volume now
Unplug your HDMI and plug it in other HDMI inputs
c] Unplug your HDMI cable and Plug in AV inputs / composite input [ those yellow,white,red cables ] and switch to AV inputs
d] If you have other TV try with that
e] Try with another HDMI cable
f] All else failed call 1300 82 3838 and obtained an complaint no

*Tips when calling , just refused their BTS [ basic trouble shooting steps ] insist they create a complaint no for you , you save money for it

Called only in odd hours not peak hours like 10pm - 11.45pm or 8.00am - 10am
3pm to 6pm is peak hours so save your money

so cool..so nice..so much savings...is it.............

Hi all, if anyone looking for astro byond remote controller, I'm selling, NEW & ORI + free postage.

Yes hd pvr swap to hd pvr. I think the brand is pace for both

My decoder DMT 5 (samsung manufactured) doesn't have any problem so far.

My Samsung PVR STB sometimes when I power on from standby then it will be showing the Home screen with green tint. Then the whole unit and remote won't be responding. Will have to switch off the main power and then restart again.
But since is not that frequent, I don't care about it.

If my guess was right, the A-List HD is the last HD channel with different encryption. From Vimneen HD onwards, it's in Irdeto. And SD channels still in crappy MPEG2
