Guys, I wonder if anyone had done this before. Say I own some properties in the same condo block (Unit A and Unit B). I've installed a 1st and 2nd decoder in unit A(got 50% off mah on 2nd decoder ).

Can I take the 2nd decoder in unit A and use it in unit B?

hm.. should be ok i think... bcos both decoders billing still go to unit A...
for sure dont request astro's installer to relocate it for u FOC lo...

Technically and legally, you cannot do that, because the contract signed stated on second decoder must be within the same premise.

Simple answer : Cannot.

I beg to differ. Correct that legally it's a no-no. But..., technically.... If assuming the condo has a centralized dish with a powered LNB and all, I believe the decoder will work...

So its confirmed that its illegal but technically can be done?

thought both decoders and satellite dishes was standalone unit? seem i hinted...
but try it at ur own risks since u signed their agreement which both units must locate in same premise...

I mean technically is on its contract signed clause, not on the hardware will work issue.

Yes, it is illegal.

Bare in mind, anything non-legal issue discussion, forum place cannot be allowed to discuss on it.

actually, you just need to remove your sim card then you can put whenever place got the astro decoder and this is legal.

Pai means that he owned 2 complete set of astro in same premise (c/w 2 sim card too)

Confirmed can be done... I've tried last month.

I have my own astro decoder and sim but out of sheer curiosity to see if it would work. I borrowed someone else sim card, they subscribe for 2 lines.

Installed it and it worked like a charm!

Yup, the issue is not about 2 decoder, any decoder you can put wherever you like, Astro won't bother.

The issue is about second decoder which has 50% discount on subscription fee which to get the 50%, the subscribers is bound adn agree on the contract to use within the same premise.

Astro works with signal (dish) + decoder + sim/smart card, it doesn't recognise the location.

thanks buddy.


Pls note that this is a illegal act and I do not condone such behaviour.
