Hi guys! I'm a new Astro Byond subscriber.
May I know why the channel number and time are not shown up on Astro Byond decoder?
The installers tell me that this is normal because I'm using the new decoder, is that true?

Thanks for your reply. I just called to Astro Customer Service and the operator also said it's normal as I'm using the latest model of Astro Byond decoder. sweat.gif

Hey guys, I have another question here.
Every time when I turn on my decoder, the TV guide always pops up first. I have to press the "byond" button to get rid of that. Any idea how to make it disable every time when I turn on my decoder to watch Astro?

It may be due to the fact that I'm using the new model of decoder. sweat.gif
I hate this new decoder.

Yo bro, this the new model of decoder that's why. It's astro Byond Zapper and manufactured by Samsung. Way smoother than Pace decoders. Didn't you do the research before subscribing. Grateful cause you have Optical output cause last time is using Digital Coaxial very hard to plug in. So are you enjoying your "DD 5.1" with your Amp?  brows.gif

Yea, I do notice the difference in audio performance, but at the same time, the disappearance of channel number on Astro Byond decoder is rather inconvenience to my old parents...

oh ok.. sad then. Unless you willing to pay another 10 for PVR? what package you having now? Maybe can void installation fees for PVR which can bring number back and PVR features.

I'm on Astro Byond HD now, no PVR. It's ok, I believe my parents and I will get used to it eventually.

>MTV didn't even bother to put MAL time

See, this is why our MTV sucks.

Same thing happens to most of the foreign channels on Astro. They didn't even bother to list MAL time and choose to put "SG/HK/PHI" times instead.

Despite the fact that in Singapore, World Cup 2014 will be made available on both MioTV & Starhub while Astro has "exclusive rights" to the event in Malaysia, it's a relief that 24 live matches & 11 delayed matches will be made available on RTM. Besides, all ASTRO subscribers can also catch 35 out of 64 matches live on ASTRO ARENA although they do not subscribe to the SPORT PACK. We're luckier than Singaporeans as FTA channels carry only opening,quarter, semi & final matches.

Nevertheless, I'm afraid that RTM World Cup feed on HYPPTV & ABNXCESS will be blacked out again.

Why will it be blacked out?

After much learning on how to bypass HDCP, this is my current setup

It's easy to record shows directly to the PC, altho a 1 hour 1080i show (for example this is COSMOS) is around 4++GB

Usually I reencode it back to get lower filesize

Teach me how to do it please notworthy.gif

1 - Get a HDMI capture card. For me I got the Avermedia C027 DarkCrystal HD Capture Pro
2 - Bypass HDCP from Astro.
-- Easy way = get a HDMI splitter that can get rid of HDCP (example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HXFAR...?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
-- Tricky way = Hacked EXE (can only use this EXE to record) or hacked driver (can use any software to record)
3 - ????
4 - PROFIT!

Key points:
1. Astro On Demand will be incorporated into Dynasty Package from 11th July 2014 onwards with no additional cost incurred to the current subscribers.
2. However, current subscribers of AOD Dragon Package and Dynasty Package will only be charged the price for Dynasty Package following the incorporation.
3. Current subscribers of Dynasty Package who don't subscribe to Astro Byond will have to do so in order to watch AOD.
