Astro force to upgrade Byond to kill all CCCam Provider.

One more, im thinking to buy Super Pack 1 and Subcribes with 2nd Decoder for RM 50 (mutiroom). Then Sharing the Payment with My Neighbour. Can save RM 38. Of course only transfer the decoder to my neighbour after all installation is done. Need to buy own long cable later untill can reach my neighbour house.

No need to buy long cable.

Just buy a used dish. Put at your neighbour's house. Then plug in the 2nd decoder to that dish. Simple.

My situation cant share the dish, because im not living at terrace house, just kampung house.
So use seperate Dish i think.

1 more any problem if share between 2 district?

lol ... im bandar puteri puchong le
gonna to fix own dish soon if so...

How about if other decoder in another District? Got any problem?
Thinking if my neightbor dont want to share, want to suggest to my relative
in another district...

Yes will do as advise. But does Astro can detect where are we using it? im scare if Astro detect, they will terminate the account.

I don't have a reliable one. Anyone to introduce?

However im using centalized dish

ic. so it is not necessary if i do not view VOD at all, correct?
HD and PVR shall still work?

I can confirm that IPTV PVR uses ethernet port 1, satellite PVR uses ethernet port 2 for VOD

It is not hardware issue. It is a software issue. Changing to another decoder will not help. Astro must release a new version of software that has this fix.....

Ok, hi guys, before I do anything stupid and start burning Astro's CS with their 'fixed scripts', I'd like to know if anyone has/have/had encountered this issue.

My issue : Copy Protection Failed, henceforth known as CPF
Connection Pathway : Astro B.Yond > AVR* > TV**, all via HDMI

So technically, if I watch anything HD related content, I'll get the CPF screen after 10 seconds, but I still have audio in the background.
If I direct conntect the Astro STB to the TV, everything works fine. So, what sort of fault do I have with my system?
The reason why I route it to my AVR* is that I can fully utilize the 5.1 surround sound from the HBOHD or Fox Premium channels, or lets say if there's football or F1 live, I could view it from my Home Projector (From AVR to the Home Projector). Now I'm going to have this issue stuck in my head with this damn CPF thingy.... Any ideas how to solve it?
----------------------
*Onkyo TR-809 AVR
** LG 65" LED 3D TV, 65LW6500 (I think)

For some reason, I dunno how does my ARC functions, I can never manage to get it to work, i'll ask the Onkyo forum or something.. but for now I use my AVR so i can have the option to watch it on my projector too..

Anyway, what do you mean by HDCP stripper? Or how do i check?Thanks

i thought so because before that everything was ok...it started like 1 months ago that i keep on getting this weird recording...nevermind...i already formatted...wife and kids even mad because they have their running man show got deleted hehe....
well i did lodge a report with astro and they do wanna send their technician but decide to hold it first...if this exist maybe i will change to latest decoder...

btw how much it cost to change the pvr? becoz my PVR already 1 year plus so i think theres no mo warranty....

Yeah I roughly understand what you're trying to tell me. So if I know my TV has this HDCP thingy as it works perfect when I plug my Astro direct to my TV... but I believe my Onkyo TR-809 should also have the HDCP stripper, according to it's User Manual.


you may ask why your tv cannot strip it when connected to avr , because your amp just output its raw signal without the hdcp "code"was not sent to your tv.(not a very good explanation .)
>>Not very good explanation, I must agree LOL, but I still could comprehend what you're trying to say. Probably I've set everything on the AVR to Auto output, thus sending the "wrong-ish" signal out to my TV?

Option1: NOH, I love watching and producing HD content
Option2: both my Amp and TV supports ARC, but I've NO idea (till this date) how to set it up properly, unless ARC only works if my input source on my tv is via HDMI? (idk i know nothing lol)
Option4: What kinds of HDCP stripper are there out there? I know nothing, but It's interesting as I could use this option if all else fails.
Option5-6-7-8:. hahaha well, I do have Tos-Link too.. but the main reason why i wanna plug to my AVR is so that i can use it to decode the 5.1 surroound, and also use it as my main splitter to my overhead projector....

I didn't get your first question just now... what you mean "did my Amp work with hd channels before?...... the only thing i use on it is my MediaHDD player to play HD movies...then just when i got astro Byond installed, i tried to hook it up to my amp, it worked for only 10 seconds before the Copy Protection Failed thingy pops up... "HDCP stripper broke?"... I could try playing with the settings.. i hope nothing serious or it's just a small issue?.

If i call/contact the shop/guy where i got my AVR from, what sort of questions should I be directing towards them?

lol...rm50 for installation? i thought they just swapped regardless of brand of pvr...do i have an toption to choose which decoder i want or they simply change based on their stock...and i need to change new sim card right?

anyway thanks for the head up....

finally, someone who has the same problem like mine..

bro, i faced similar issues 2mths back..

1. suddenly the PVR recorded unintended shows (mine was Tarzan).
2. PVR starts to slow down, changing channels took almost 3-4mins before the channel changes.
3. Cannot record shows (randomly showing 'recording failed').

so i changed mine, also same like yours, since >1yr, i do not have warranty already
but they change for free. the only thing is that, all your recorded stuffs are now gone with the old PVR.

and after 2mths using this new PVR.. now it happens again..
the new PVR starts to record unintended shows, even to the extent that
the red LED 'record' is on, but no new recording entry..
