possible way to reduce rain-fade
it is interesting to know that NASA's Tracking Data Relay Satellite also uses Ku band signal for both space shuttle tracking and ISS communications

questions here..is it free until april or we have to pay the cumulated monthly fees on april?

i actually registered on fri... then on sat...they called, but i was using my phone as gprs line...so they didnt talk to me....then monday i decided to call again to confirm the thing and today they called...

that leaves us with #5 ... so what can we do, wax the dish regularly?

anyone want to sell off their astromax decoder pls do PM me.

thanx

about the rain..erm, never test b4....wait till rain come..hehe.....sorry!!

erm, do we need to put listing who have own astro byond?ok..let me start it..so we can update our new comers....just cut and paste..

Astro B.yond LYN Headcount...

sweet.. astro in HD...
buying a HDTV is a must on these days

I ordered, got call from Astro agent, but no Astro Byond install yet. Do I count?

read about the rain effect on the Astro channel.

I read somewhere, some bright sparks found that wrapping the Satellite Dish Centre Stalk (the thing that stick out in the centre of the dish) with plastic bag, can improve reception during rain.

Perhaps some of you can try that.

the new HD package need to replace the simcard also right?

can i keep the HD decorder after a year and swap back old simcard which is non HD channels?

Given that analogue signal will be phased out by 2015, its a waste to even buy SD tv.

Last time I see a normal SD tv is at a hypermarket that sells unbranded set with curved CRT. Those thing still exist!

If you registered BYond on Saturday, ASTRO will call you today. Just received my call.

last saturday u wat time call astro???me until now also no yet get the call...

Call 11AM on Saturday. You'll get the call today. The telemarketer says, they follow a strict queue ! Ya right.

Lot of ppl done that in my area but their are done on their illegal 1 meter dish.

Instead of plastic bag, their using cut plastic coca-cola (or whatever) bottle (1 little bottle).

astro just call me...he say will install the astro b-yond withing ten days...waiting waiting...waiting..yeahh...

I submitted online registration yesterday. They called me today and confirmed the application. Said the installer will come within 10 days.

Free from now till march 2010. The Rm20/month only effective from April 2010.

Hehe, eager to see the HD channels!

I just got a call from Astro (2nd time) to verify my IC/Add/Smart card.

She told me all the T&C, and that I had to return dish, decoder, and remote. Pay RM80 if I refuse to return. I will be charge starting April 2010, and the one year contract starts from April 2010 till April 2011.

Cannot break contract otherwise come with a penalty of RM260+. I must not abuse the decoder also.

Silly thing asked me to verify my Astro ID card which I cannot do since I'm at the office!

She told me the Astro installer would be coming within 10 calender days, which means this month (I hope).

I register myself online since last Friday.
