You will receive the Astro B.yond Box, a new smartcard, a new outdoor dish unit (ODU), new remote control, and HDMI cables free of charge, on the condition that you return your current Astro box and commit to take up the high definition channels at RM20.00 per month, for a minimum of 12 months, which will allow you to enjoy the high definition channels of the standard definition channels available on your current subscription. If you want to keep your current Astro box, you are required to pay a RM80.00 standard installation fee.

I don't mind giving away my dish and decoder. Both are old and perform poorly.

I think I read somewhere that they will give you a new smart card. The old one will probably be disabled.

1080p of course. But Astro only does 720p and 1080i.

Only way you can get 1080p is via blu-ray or high def movie downloads.

No I specifically mentioned to pay RM80 and get new decoder and dish. The girl said no, and then went to consult someone else. She came back and said there is no such thing, she confirmed MUST take back all the old stuff.

But i'm sure u know that watching 720p on a 1080p tv wouldn't be as good as 720p on 720p.That's what i'm asking.

Yes I mentioned that I read in their website about paying RM80 and keeping old decoder, yet she said no such thing.

Maybe what they meant was they will take back the old satellite dish so that you can't use the old (for the old TV) and new (for another HD TV in another part of the house) together.

the thing is everyting is free, but installation is RM80.

How much will it cost to sign up for Astro B.yond?
The Astro B.yond Box, the remote control, the Outside Dish Unit (ODU), and HDMI cable will be available for free. However, an RM80.00 installation fee will be charged on top of the RM20.00 monthly access fee for the High-Definition channels.

As one of the 'loyal' and 'pioneer' subscribers, Astro should give a 'no extra fee' on HD as credit to their support and loyalty.

Please tell me if it is fair as following:

1) Existing Astro subscriber (One month ago) - Free upgrade to Astro B.yond and RM 20 per months (12 months contract)

2) Existing Astro subscriber (Three years ago) - Free upgrade to Astro B.yond and RM 20 per months (12 months contract)

3) Existing Astro subscriber (Five years ago) - Free upgrade to Astro B.yond and RM 20 per months (12 months contract)

Please put some serious thought on the above.

bro....better check out properly 1st....

if you subscribe to HD channel, your old card will be diasbled cause you only have one account to switch over

if you want to keep the old one you must have 2 accounts, means double the $$$

Why would a 1080p TV would not be as good as a 720p TV when watching 720p channel? Both are having the same aspect ratio.

In that case I also 'Potong' laugh.gif
Bite the bullet and pay RM10 to downgrade, now only have basic asstro subscription. No need to watch censored HD with advertisement.
Already watching uncensored HD content without advertisement, and when I want it! laugh.gif
