QUOTE(dayalan86 @ Dec 15 2009, 05:05 PM) I asked the customer service rep who called me about the Astro B.yond. If you keep the sd decoder, you cannot use it as your current account will be upgraded to Astro B.yond account and will be registered to the new Astro B.yond Smart Card, thus you cannot use your old decoder and Smart Card unless I guess you register for a new account. Thats right, no point keeping old decorders cos old card wld be disabled  |

QUOTE(neb @ Dec 15 2009, 06:43 PM) great sentimental value, put old decoder in your personal museum For those with Astro Max decoders, I'm sure it would be worth more than rm80 in the 2nd hand market. Even the sd decoder is worth something, especially if it is the newer range...Added on December 15, 2009, 6:51 pm QUOTE(low98944 @ Dec 15 2009, 05:29 PM) I also waiting them patiently.

QUOTE(prasys @ Dec 15 2009, 04:18 PM) I did not get any calls from ASTRO yet. Should I call them up and ask or they just dont care about me For those who apply through email or website, it is better to call them directly as the mail system will be swamped. Ask to confirm right that time. QUOTE(AjkR06 @ Dec 15 2009, 04:38 PM) Apexg2... Got pillarbox but can be stretchedCan you take picture for the SD channels (eg normal National Geographic, TV3, RTM) ? I wanna see whether it has pillarbox or not.. |

QUOTE(AjkR06 @ Dec 15 2009, 04:32 PM) Finally.. astro called me about this byond.. If we give them old decoder, it is means I don't have pay RM80 to installer?they asked for my IC no and asked me whether I confirm to take byond... I gave my Ic no and said wanna take byond..hehe... The RM20 will need to pay starting from April 2010.. so 4 months free and for the first month after installation..probably January bill, there will be RM10 extra for stamp duty charge (one time charge only). They promised to install new byond set within 10 working days starting from today... I also want to keep my astro max decoder, so he said that I need to pay RM80 to the installer on the day of installation. |

QUOTE(minimize @ Dec 15 2009, 07:35 PM) Sound good.. your 2 decoder need a splitter to share one dish, but I guess you already have that Are you guyz know it is posibble that I can use new Sat Dish (came with HD decoder) with old decoder? I have 2 decoder in my home and using same Sat Dish. new dish may have improved version of lnb head, could improve on the received signal, gives you better resistance to rain-fade. |
