Hi, wanna know any way to record@1080p from astro?

The 500GB is just too little.

astro is 1080i, i prefer 720p tho, smoother

So anyway to record?

Unless you delete most of the stuffs, no. Astro's HD broadcast is around 10Mbps x264 compression, while normal files that you download from torrent are only 2 to 4Mbps, hence the larger file size when recording on Astro. This is to make sure that the picture quality is mantained. Unless you get a capture card and rerecord what you record into your PC, I doubt your HDD can last

I dun understand what u are toking about?
I have 12TB enough or not?

Enough, but you can't just plug a HDD and expect it to record.
worse come to worse, Astro --> HDMI Capture card --> record to PC

Astro -X-> cos HDCP!

Are you able to record via HDMI Capture card?

Just moved into a new condo. As usual, they won't allow dish to be installed outside the building and provided centralized dish instead.

Installation at the new place was done by Astro's appointed installer. I realized one thing that my new place only provided 1 satellite output on the wall, whereas b.yond requires 2 cables. What the installer did was installing some sort of adapter: 2 cables from the decoder into the adapter, then 1 single output into the wall. I need to pay RM25 for that piece of item. The installer informed me that in case I can't view any of the HD/SD contents, I need to record any of the available HD then only I can view the desired channel. That was 2 weeks ago.

Until now, it was like a never ending trial & error hit & miss mission. With the lagging remote control, I'm not enjoying Astro as I used to. Sometimes SD contents are affected. Is there any solution to this?

Just ask if is this on demand channel(hbo, one hd, astro ondemand and etc. except animax on demand) need to pay if I am a superpack user?

No need. It's included within the pack.

TBA (to be aired) on Astro soon?

Hi all. Got a question regarding Astro IPTV.

Currently I am Superpack subscriber, and been using Unifi 5mbps for Internet. I am interested to subscribe to Astro IPTV with maxis home fiber, as it'll cost me less, more channels and double up my internet speed to 10mbps.

But when I read some bad reviews about maxis home fiber, it made me thinking twice whether to switch or not. (my area doesn't have TIME fiber). So I raised my concern to Astro IPTV salesperson. And being a salesperson herself, she said that Maxis fiber is using Unifi's base, so if I previously don't have any problem using Unifi, then I won't be having any problem with Maxis fiber too..which makes some sense.

As for now, I have no problem with Unifi 5mbps and I do torrent quite heavily. So does this means I won't face any problem when switch to Maxis home fiber + IPTV package? Appreciate experts opinion on this. Thanks.

hopefully. with this new satellite, astro would bring this channel. would love some MBC programmes like in ONE HD which aired SBS program.

basically yes, if you don't have the problem with unifi, sure maxis iptv don't also..
but bare in mind that if you do have, it would be a long "journey".. because all internet/tv issue, would have to go to astro. astro then would have to contact TM for any troubleshoot if the "script" which they read to you cannot help at all..
with TM know you have subscribe to maxis astro iptv, they would treat you like a loss child..
but other then that, i dont have any issue with maxis and astro..

This looks more like it. Anyway, the old app that shows Astro program schedule that I mentioned previously, I have found out it is called "AstroGuide" with a beige B.Yond app badge, but can no longer be found on App Store. Not sure if this was made by someone or officially from Astro, but I think it would make more sense coming from Astro, as we aren't so free to make apps for Astro. Probably the new app above is the replacement for it.

Bila nak tukar TeeeVeee??

I can't believe you still can watch on such screen for months!

Not sure if this is the place to ask this but I'm currently using Maxis 10mbps fibre but am considering switching to 20mbps with the Astro IPTV since it'll be cheaper for me monthly.

I live with my family so all in all, there are 4 of us with my parents using minimal internet (only to browse and read news). Then the majority of the bandwidth is used by my brother and me for downloading and gaming (mainly me for gaming).

So what I wanna know is:

1. Has anyone used this before? Is it stable? Especially for those who game.

2. Say my dad is watching a live football match in HD and I'm gaming at the same time. Would either of us suffer a spike in lag at that moment?

To those who would be commenting, thank you in advance! It is much appreciated.

1. I don't see why an upgrade to 20mb would be any less stable compared to your current 10mb.
2. Nope, the TV and internet do not share the same bandwidth so you are good to go.

I see. Thanks so much for the comment!

Deal with it, as others would say. If you like, you can help me fund to get new 32" TV with build in DVB-T2.
