What is MyStar HD?
MyStar HD takes TV to amazing. With MyStar HD you get access to high definition digital TV channels and more storage capacity to record all your favourite programs.
Pause and rewind live digital TV
Think you missed it? Think again. MyStar HD lets you pause and rewind live TV. So if the phone rings with five minutes to go, or if someone talks through that crucial moment, you don't have to miss a thing.
Record a Show. Record an entire series.
Using your remote, MyStar HD can record an episode, or an entire series, of your favourite show. Even if you forget it's on, MyStar HD won't. And before you know it, you've created a personal library that you can watch when it suits you.
Series link not available on all programs. You cannot record BOX OFFICE or MAIN EVENT pay per view channels with MyStar.
Record two shows at once
Can't decide what to watch? MyStar HD lets you record two shows at once, while you're watching a third show you pre-recorded. Then watch your favourites in your own time.
Record up to 90 hours
It may be small on size, but MyStar HD - AUSTAR's digital video recorder - is big on storage. With up to 90 hours of free space on MyStar HD you can record all your favourite shows to watch when you want. You can even file your shows into folders, like you do on a computer, and access them in seconds. All this without a DVD or videotape in sight.
MyStar HD storage capacity depends on the resolution you wish to record - it can store up to 30 hours in HD or 90 hours in SD.

Who says you've got to be home to book a recording? If you're not going to be home in time for your favourite show, just go to tvguide.austar.com.au, select your show from our Online TV Guide, click 'record' – and it'll be ready and waiting for you in your Planner at home.

Glossary
Digital video recorder
A digital recorder is a device that plugs into any TV. It allows you to view, and record, digital TV channels. Recorded programs are saved onto an internal hard drive, like you would save files on a computer.
Digital TV
Digital TV delivers better picture quality, better sound and interactive features. To receive digital TV, your TV needs to be digital-ready. If you've got an analog TV, you can get ready for digital TV by getting a digital set top box or digital video recorder such as MyStar.
Standard definition TV
Standard definition (SD) is the first wave of digital TV technology - offering greatly improved picture and sound quality over traditional analog TV.
High definition TV
High definition (HD) takes advantage of improved digital technology to provide even sharper pictures and better sound than standard definition. To watch HD TV channels you can attach an HD set-top-box (like AUSTAR's MyStar HD) to your analog or standard definition TV. But to get the full picture and sound benefits of high definition you'll need a high definition TV.
