Astro B.yond PVR: What Is It?

Astro B.yond PVR is a personal video recorder

That lets you record any show and watch them whenever

Record, rewind, pause and play

It's TV your time, your way

All it is is a B.yond decoder box

With a new black dish that totally rocks

The installers will connect it all with the HDMI cable

Insert the smart card, and its ready to be remote controllable

Theres also a set of controllers on the decoder box

Just in case the remote ever gets lost

That's pretty much it in terms of hardware

And then of course the user manuals for care

Which oddly enough only came in one language

But thats ok because theres illustrations and image

Speaking of image, the HD channels are really clear

There are 12 available HD channels to see and hear

Of course it depends on what subscription package you're on

But definitely try and get the NatGeo HD one

The images are clear and crisp, just like advertised

You would really not want to avert your eyes

Also a bonus, the commercials tend to be shorter

And I know this because I use the PVR as a timer

I've been testing it out, its easy to use

A friendly user interface that wont confuse

Buttons are labeled and the operations made clear

Haven't had any problems with it over here

If you would like to know more, do head over to the Astro Website: HERE  

I love that there's an interactive presentation whereby curious-potential PVR owners can play with the buttons and learn about the product.


Also in my next post I'll go through the 4 main functions and my experience with them.
