according to the agent on the phone -- everything needs to be changed, cabling, dish and the decoder... they told me last friday that they will re-confirm again tomorrow (Tuesday) abt the T&C too ... wonder that they may increase the price .....
*

Hi..

I already install Astro Byond at my house yesterday..

So far, picture quality in HD channels are superb even the HDMI cable look like chap ayam brand... hehehe..

But, my only problem is with the volume... when i watch SD channels, the volume will be so slow, i have to increase the volume from my hi-fi to 20.. but, when i change to any HD channels, the volume will be so loud, i have to decrease the volume to 10.

I've try to use the volume button at the Astro Byond remote control, but nothing happen.. i can't control the volume using the Astro Byond remote.. i have to use my hi-fi remote to control the volume..

So far, i did not call Astro yet regarding this problem..

Anyone out there facing same problem with me? Any solution??

*
i have the same volume problem , the volume button on the remote does nothing . The HDMI cable provided by ASTRO does look cheap . I will try to snap some photo`s later.

Yes, he said on a good day, he can do more than a dozen. He can work faster too on homes where the RG6 cables are ready. Also, easier for him if the dish is not too high.

And someone earlier mentioned that Astro customer service said these guys are working over weekend. This is also true. The guy said he hasn't gotten any rest at all and foresees working everyday for quite some time.

He is also trying to be efficient by grouping the orders and covering by areas, so if they call you, try to make time as they might not go back to your area until several days later.

Mine was done on the weekend also , someone from my area cancelled the appointment and the technician called me ask if he can come immediately , i was okie with it and he came within 30 min to fix it . Took him less than 30 min to fix the dish and activate the card .

The Byond remote control can be calibrated to be used as your  TV remote (on/off, volume & channels) based on TV code provided in your guide.

I guess so , later when i go home will try to do the setting .
