astro b.yond : High Definition

[ajay]

wow... it sounds all positive. kudos to astro (finally)

[aceedburn]

also bear in mind that the firmware version on the astro b.yond box is only at 1.0
there will be many more firmware upgrades in the near future and you can count on the new features which are already implemented in the remote control and set top box to slowly but surely spring to action, including the much awaited recording function where you can just connect an external hard disk to the usb port and record your movies or programs in high def!!

Just ask that the new HD smart card be used on the old decoder?

new b.yond smartcard can also be used on the new set top box.

thanks bro..aceedburn. the reason I ask is in case i need both..

Got mine installed during lunch time. Superb HD quality exactly like playing a Blue ray movie.

Having problem here. I can't use this on my 2nd set LCD bcos no RF connector! So my installer ask me to get the AV-RF converter so that I can hook-up wth my 2nd LCD via the RF remote controller. Hopefully it's works but I do notice that the decorder only provide 1 set of AV socket..If I use that for my Home Theathe system..no more socket for the AV-RF converter..haizzz..

bro stimix,

Heard you purchase a 40" plasma TV and ACryan PlayOnHD media player.

Now you are 1080P-man. Congrates and welcome to the club.

Need more information on your set-up.

[stimix]

Yeah simple set-up nia not as canggih as your 46' kua?

Got the 42' Pana Plasma X series last week. + the AC Ryan on the same day. Still configuring on how to Torrent direct using AC Ryan to my int HDD...yeah now got additional 1TB dy...more space now meaning can fit in more... Home theatre system old wan-lah (Sony dunno what model ) & my older 26" I throw downstair dy to replaced my spoilt CRT.

Now having problem on how to connec my decorder to the 2nd LCD..

[sunn]

Your LCD got RCA inputs ka? If got use that lah..

Not sure the Decoder can ouput video/sound to two TVs at the same time. Might be you have to switch between HDMI or RCA to use only one output.

Yeah the old LCD screen having the RF. So I'm getting the AV-RF converter later. But not sure how to split the only AV connector to the AV-RF Connector bcos I hv used that AV ports for my Hifi set..probably there're 2-1 AV splitter available..let me check later..

bro stimix, there are the 2 to 1 audio connectors available and i've been using them for a long time now. can get in most electronic shops for about RM10 a piece...go for the gold plated ones, better quality...I'm also using a AV-RF converter for my astro byond decoder, but the picture quality is ok only and not as good as with the previous decoder.

Waaa you guys watch 40", 46" TV. Mine only 16" & 20"
