Astro Go audio sync problem

fadthil — Sun, 15 Dec 2019 10:01:40 +0800

Did anyone ever experience audio sync issue on their devices when they're using Astro Go especially with live telecast shows like the EPL? In my case, the audio delay can be as bad as half a minute to the video! Even after I refreshed my browser and cleared my cookies or reboot my Astro Go apps, it will temporarily back to normal but the problem will continue as the show goes on.

I have contacted Astro customer service and have followed their troubleshooting but the problem persists and it did not help. Anyone knows if this is a flaw of Astro Go, my devices or the settings... anyone with any solution or a work-around?

Thanks

HDMI splitter for Astro Beyond & PS3

fadthil — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 00:40:13 +0800

@ to all tech gurus:
I've just installed Astro Beyond but my old LCD TV only have 1 HDMI inlet. I'm using PS3 as well and it's quite a hassle to switch back-n-forth since Beyond is using HDMI too. So I bought a HDMI-hub splitter cable (2-port) to overcome this hassle. When I plugged in and access to Beyond (while PS3 is off) & vice-versa; I get a flickered image on my screen and unable to use both. My common-sense told me (although I have a 2-bit knowledge on technical stuff) the signals might've interfere each other and this could possibly be the problem since there's no switch on the cable to activate one while deactivating the other.

So, is there a way or if there's another gadget to buy that is not too expensive so I can overcome this problem... while buying a new HD-TV and/or a new HDMI-equipped AV Receiver is out of question.

Thanks in advance for any solution.

Why Epson printer not recognised its original ink

fadthil — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:59:30 +0800

I own a Epson Stylus TX100 for slightly more than a year now. Earlier today when I replace my magenta ink, the printer prompted me to use "genuine Epson ink". What puzzled me was I've never bought an "un-ori ink", let alone used one before, how can this happen? Is there something wrong with the censor head that reads the cartridge chip?

Anyone experienced this before or know any solution, do share with me. Thanks in advance!

Where to buy a multi-region/modified 40GB PS3?

fadthil — Sat, 31 May 2008 00:49:50 +0800

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie in this forum & in Hi-Def (BD) world. Apologies in advance if this topic is in the wrong thread & has been addressed a zillion times before, over here.

Reason 1: Want to jump into the BD wagon but still own hundreds of SD DVDs (mostly Reg.1s)
Reason 2: Have no upscale SD DVD player... so, PS3 seems to be the best choice for me thus far

Thanks in advance to anyone with an answer/solution!
