so people in condos who share a single dish are screwed eh.
Oh well, looks like I'll need to get my HD fix from other sources.

QUOTE(daryl.k @ Dec 10 2009, 06:32 PM) u sure the entire condo block shares one dish? i remember last time when the Astro installer came & installed my 2nd decoder (current 2storey house) he told me one dish is good for up to 6 decoder nia..not sure if its different for condo/apartment application.. according to the astro tech whom i met a few months ago, he said in highrise condos thesignal strength is so weak by the time it reaches your unit it always poses problems for viewers.one question if anyone knows, the new HD dish, can still receive SD broadcast right? i mean even if change the dish, change to the new HD set up top box, i still can receive current SD channels...not necessary to subs to HD channels right?? or another scenario, change the dish, but maintained old decoder, can still receive current SD broadcast? reason am i asking is if that's the case, at least i can propose to the management to replace the dish at my apartment & it wont cause any disruption to others not keen on migrating to HD....or if there's a few dish on the roof, they can identify which is mine and can change that particular one only (quite unlikely but one never knows) yes, i'm really quite excited over this whole Astro HD thingy...been waiting for it so long and it sucks that i live in apartment and have no direct control over the Astro dish....hopefully some kinda solution will be announce by Astro tomorrow too for all condo/apartment subscribers.. |
