Just put in your MyKad in the next slot and you get more channels.

Anybody still remember what are the commands or menu to press in the Astro remote control to read our MyKad details when we slot it into the 2nd slot.

Forgot how to do it since the last time which was quite long ago.

Nothing. It is for future use but until today no use at all. The latest decoder has only 1 slot.

yup. thats why the people are confused, the older dudes with astro (the black one - the best one IMHO) has two slots. the newer ones (read : crappier and cheaper models) have only one.

great way forward, Arsetro ... rclxms.gif
