What about the charges for new Astro account if the person never had Astro before? Would it be RM199 as well ?
In the earlier post, someone posted it to be RM30 ? (If I'm not mistaken)

RM30 installation fee suppose to be offer till end of Dec 2009 only. You can request to switch to Byond immediately after your Astro account activated.

Press the 3 buttons from left to right (power, up, down (or down, up, forgot the second button is up or down) ), then the decoder is boot itself and check for auto-update. If I not mistaken, current firmware is 23-Dec-2009.

Thanks willkso and HeRiDdLeR,

hi, wanna inform u that my problem already solved...
actually that's the wrong settings in my PVR software...
I have wrongly select the video system... actually it's PAL (since Malaysia used PAL system).., but my PVR software keep set it to NTSC (US system)...
but now already solved after download the latest driver and software from Leadtek website...

But for recording via Cyberlink PowerDirecyor it is still imposibble...
but I have satisfied with that bundled PVR software...

i suggest u call the number given there.. the rm199 "offer" exist even i tried to subscribe mine back then.. only for the CS telling me RM30 for new installation


but im not sure what's the rate now la.. just call and ask

No TV Card, It's Samsung DVD recorder.

I'm looking for new TV before jump to B.yond. Is it true that B.yond only support HD (720p)? No it will be useless if buying Full HD (1080p)

I am the new Astro Subscriber.. started end of December 2009, on the day they installed the normal Dish/DMT, I applied Astro Byond and it get me installed Byond just in 5 days time (including weekend)
took the RM30 package (Installation Charge only)
Condition : 2 years contract and subscription cannot less then RM55.xx if not mistaken.


dunno if i kena con or not.. just now Astro call me to ask if I want to subscribe Astro On Demand..
2 months promotion : RM25 each month
Can cancel it after the promotion period....

Haih... just now didnt think too much and agree with the deal..

1080i (not sports) and 720p (sports)

don't you plan on having other sources (like Blu-ray)?

ooo virtualdub... so long i never play with that.... ever tried IUVCR? quite good

If I'm not mistaken, RM30 will be 2 years contract and RM199 will be 1 year contract only.

Anyway I'm on B.Yond at this moment.

The installer get the signal as 170+ and said it wont work well for this low signal.He tried all source but signal is same.

Insist i need to add some "amp' to the dish and he charge me Rm80 for it.
I have no choice but paid him.
Immediately the signal boost up to 240+.

Dunno whether con or not but is working fine so be it la

RM25/month for AOD is OK if you have time to watch and like TVB drama. I think normal price is about RM4x. But remember to cancel it after 2 month else the price will back to normal.....ALSO remember AOD is NOT HD. TVB HK is showing their drama in HD but when AOD will start HD

Anyone any idea on ESPN HD when will launch?

Someone said its end of this month..

No con, i got that mid last year, they only call chinese customers for that deal.

yes, they only charge you RM25, instead of usual 54.95.

but when u cancel after 2months, you pay RM10 for cancellation fee.

and of course you want to finish that drama before cancellation, so the days and weeks after the 2months is pro-rated using the full rate. so they dont actually loose out a lot.
