Astro Beyond IPTV

 

I’m still not really sure what Astro Beyond IPTV capabilities… As far for TM Unifi… The provider like TM Unifi is broadcasting the TV channel via Fiber optic (High Speed broadband)…. but for Astro Beyond IPTV probably the same with TM Unifi… Since, I’m just connect the Ethernet cable to Ethernet port might be not bring full capabilities of IPTV…

 

More over, for this Astro Beyond decoder, if no satellite signal due to “Rain Fade” effects you won’t be able to turn ON the decoder… So, what the purpose of IPTV (using internet line for what?! )… Beyond that, our satellite tv provider still limited to satellite comm to transmit the channel… I believe Astro don’t want to invest more on ground tower to solve the rain effect…

 

 

 

This is LOL… If you have “Internet” on your beyond why this device won’t turn ON! Sick… Or if you recorded something on your PVR you still can’t turn it ON… No clock, can’t turn ON… Sorry…

 

 

Before you able to use the VOD (Video On Demand) you need to have Internet connection (via Ethernet cable) and also make sure PVR (Personal Video Recording) is activated with your current package…. So, if you plan to have PVR activate, I preferred you go with Astro Super Pack… Whatever pack will do… 

 

One more thing, if your current package don’t have HD service activated, just throw away you HDMI cable… because ASTRO will disable those port… So, back to classic way… Use RGB cable…. (aka composite cable…)…

 

So, just press “home” button. Then just select “Video On Demand”, you will see this menu… But you need to pay to watch the movie… It’s will download to your hardisk (aka PVR function)…

 

 

Basically, Astro do provide free movie for IPTV contents as well…. Right now, I’m downloading “Alamak Toyol” even thought I already watched the movie… with current TM Unifi 10Mbps should be no problem to download this content… :) …
