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  tongue.gif).

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

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...

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. smile.gif

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)

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.
