Getting Started Junior Member 272 posts Joined: Nov 2006 From: Bangi, Puchong	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... 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

QUOTE(ecam @ Dec 11 2009, 02:57 PM) Is it? you'll be surprised in future. I read in this thread it says: 2. What is Astro B.yond? Astro B.yond is the future of entertainment. It is a brand new offering in television broadcast which offers the first ever High-Definition broadcast in Malaysia. For a start, five exclusive high definition channels will be introduced at the time of launch, with more to come in the future. With Astro B.yond, employees will be able to enjoy true high definition details such as with superior resolution, sound and clarity. Astro B.yond will have future interactive features like Personal Video Recording (PVR), new Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) and internet connectivity. Source: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1017325/+620 As for the subscription, we'll look and see. Today is just media launch and 18th is the official launch. you can call astro now... i called this morning and subscribe right away.... talk to the lady for 25 minutes to ask questions bout this byond package... QUOTE(binary @ Dec 11 2009, 03:04 PM) So, if we subscribe with Byond, do we still can watch our existing subscribed channels other than the HD channels??? i think still can watch... if not, why they want to take our old decoder away... QUOTE(smileguy @ Dec 11 2009, 03:14 PM) You can call Astro now to subscribe. I have done that . I swapped my exsisting Decorder and Dish for new one , no further fees except RM20 xtra for HD channels. Fixing apmt by the next 24 hours ! So what to wait for, fix it and lets test our HD sets I think its a fair deal to take , yeah u rite smileguy... wat time u subscribe? cant wait to test the new byond... will be disappointment or otherwise??? but they said they will install it within the next 10days after their marketing department confirm with us regarding this byond... now waiting for them to call back...

Can change to the new decoder but still don't want to subscribe to their HD channels? they said need to subscribe to at least one of the HD channel for one year contract... QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Dec 11 2009, 03:46 PM) if you look at that picture, with the relative size of the LNB feed horn and the dish, it looks damn small. don't expect it to be a >1meter dish. its 65cm dish... 5cm more than current one... still expect to loss signal during raining...
