QUOTE(moomoos @ Dec 10 2009, 11:05 AM) many subscribers still can stay tuned to the given basic channels, i'm not chinese but i'm also taking dynasty package... but seriously we tak bolih le.... out of 100 i believe 80 and thats 80% sure must take the Dynasti package, actually the given AEC, and another one is not so in demand  because i like to watch TVB Dramas on Wah la Toi... but sometimes feel annoying with Malay subtitles that they provided... like biscuit.. kejap ada..kejap tiada..  |

QUOTE(kianwee @ Dec 11 2009, 01:14 AM) and i also feel a bit shocked that 1080i was placed at the bottom of 720p...  ... anyway, thanks for posting that video... before this, i always set my dvd-player to output 1080i..., not 720p... so now, will always set my dvd player to 720p |

QUOTE(pirateguy @ Dec 11 2009, 09:01 AM) Well today is the day. I even stayed up hoping the byond website goes up on Astro site. Till this morning nothing was updated. hmm... maybe they will launch the website after the official PC today....Maybe Screamyx is throttling Astro websites too. Added on December 11, 2009, 9:28 am QUOTE(attentional @ Dec 11 2009, 09:00 AM) huhuhu, this proves that some people here don't know sh1t and just trying to act pro. Finger point to ecam. 720p is always better than 1080i. That's the fact.  but i think, i don't act like pro here...  This post has been edited by AjkR06: Dec 11 2009, 09:28 AM |

QUOTE(pirateguy @ Dec 11 2009, 09:39 AM) That is true. On Astro, the Asia Food Channel looks good but on the other hand Cinemax looks like shit as if you are playing movies off the VCD. History Channel also look good on my LCD... |

QUOTE(faidzal1982 @ Dec 11 2009, 02:38 PM) i called astro this morning around 10.45am to ask if i can change my philip decoder to thompson with component output... then dat lady mentioned astro b-yond just launch... here the details i got from her... wah... thanks for the info... theres 3 options if want to convert to astro b-yond... 1) astro take back all the old decoder components (decoder, dish, remote control, card) and replace with the new astro b-yond and its cabling for free. 2) we can keep the old decoder and register for the new astro b-yond with rm80 payment... this option will allow us to use astro b-yond and also the old decoder to view astro... meaning we have 2 cards... 3) we can keep the old decoder for sentimental value and get the new astro b-yond for rm80... but we need to give back the astro card... * the new astro b-yond card cannot work with the old decoder... * the old decoder cannot work with the new astro b-yond dish... * theres one year contract if we accept the astro b-yond... need to subscribe to at least one of the HD channel... Astro SuperSport HD National Geographic Channel HD History HD HBO HD and when can the subscriber start to subscribe this new beyond... i really interested with this beyond, but beyond can't do like what my current astro max can do... beyond only have HD channel but beyond can't record astro programmes, rewind, pause live tv, doing slow motion....  |

I already submit the forms for subscribing astro beyond on their website...now waiting for their call...
but, when the installer will come to my home and install the new dish, decoder?? I bet it will take a very long time since the service only start at 18 December... And one other question, installation cost will be RM80, isn't it? This post has been edited by AjkR06: Dec 11 2009, 06:27 PM |

Added on December 11, 2009, 6:56 pm QUOTE(ecam @ Dec 11 2009, 06:29 PM) They promise in 10 days from your registration. Good luck on it. Make sure the installer is official one and align your dish using proper spectrum analyzer. If he doesn't know about it, call back and insist. Ok... Thanks for your explaination..... If not you'll be having intermittent hd on cloudy day ( no rain yet ). No installation cost if you swapped ur old box out. But if you want to keep ur old box, u need to pay rm 80. That's it. Dun kena conned that he took the box and ask u to pay rm80. I really appreciate it..... This post has been edited by AjkR06: Dec 11 2009, 06:56 PM |

QUOTE(Ngto @ Dec 11 2009, 10:36 PM) I called Astro, they said it is compulssory to take back the old decoder and dish and replace with new one. They said can't keep your old dish and decoder. i think you can keep your old decoder and dish... but need to pay RM80 to the installer that come to ur house.... |

QUOTE(pirateguy @ Dec 12 2009, 12:01 PM) Astro agent called me today. Says something about contacting me again on the 17th Dec. I ask how long does it take for them to process the registration to installing the dish, and they said 14 days. yes... same with me..they also called me and said that they only will process my application for beyond on 15 December (Tuesday).. and anytime within 2 weeks from 15 December, the installer will call me and install it.... .so, i assume, i only will get astro beyond at the end of december or probably within the first week of January 2010... i will miss my astro max... it has served me very well...
