As a beta tester and an astro employee I'll try and do a few blog posts dedicated to B.yond and try and wrap up most of the major questions that are being repeated on here.

I don't work in our programming or marketing devisions so I'm sorry I'm not able to answer questions about installers, channel line up and pricing. Plus it just wouldn't be appropriate for me to do so. I will, when I get the chance, answer questions related to broadcast and tech. Drop a question on my blog if you like and I'll try to cover that topic in future posts
Cheers
Justin

Hi, good you're here. I have 2 q.
1. What is the main reason to change the dish from ODU 60 to ODU 65? It still VSAT dish with 1 way (downlink) & not possible for uplink comm right?
2. Should we really need to change the cable from ODU to decoder? My installer inform me that if I use other than original Astro cable, only then they will change to new cable.

Added on January 20, 2010, 2:16 pmBut what i need to know is how much is the improvement? It's tremendous improvement & u will get atlest 20% better SQ or a mere 2% improvement that normal ear/noob like me can't really differentiate...I remembered getting the expensive RCA/AV cable wth gold plated to replace my AV connection to my AVR years ago...& I dun really hear any diff between the cheapo RM6 AV cable & the RM6o AV cable.. sad.gif

There is a difference, for digital, you need optical or coaxial.
(And reading the Astro B.yond connecting Sony AVR/TV post, it is necessary for dolby 5.1)

I recommend just getting the ones sold at ACE hardware, not so expensive and there is some quality.

I think you should tell them that Stamp duty act requrement is only for new account opening and not switching of plan..Like that, everytime add or delete a package also RM10 stamp duty!! Stamp duty is paid to Government...If they collect it without following to stamp duty act, we can complain to IRD!
Unless, they inform you this is their Admin or service charge  hmm.gif ..So far my Jan bill free of such charges..If yes...I will start complaining dy..
*
I think the stamp duty is for 12 month contract for byond. In case you terminate byond within 12 month grace period, u need to pay termination fee. If you resist to pay, Astro can legally take this matter to the court.
Of course it take effect eventhough u dont pay the Stamp duty, because Astro has paid it on behalf of u. So, u need to pay them back.

Nah let them take to the court for a small petty RM10..haha...I remembered challenged them for not waiving the crazy RM10 late payt charges which is ridicolous just bcos they received the chq late or u paying using Maybank2U & they updated late!...

I reluctant to pay the "Ah Long interest" for mths & the RM10 became RM60 after 6mths bcos charging late charges upon late charges...After numerous..screwing, They reluctantly waived all the 6 nth late pyt charges!...Nowadays after so many complain on the "Ah Long interest" they no longer charge RM10 dy although u're few days late..

Anyone experiencing wierd behaviour with their subwoofers with astro.byond? It's wreaking havoc on mine with unnecessary signals. So bad I have to turn it off totally. Is there anything I should be aware of? Incorrect cross over frequency perhaps? Suggestions most welcomed.

Don't think so, F1 normally will be broadcast in Star Sport. Just don't want to put high expectation. ESPN HD also uncertain when it will be available, so what u expect more? hmm.gif
But the certain thing is, World Cup will be in HD. Waiting for that day.

Can someone please confirm weather beyond smartcard can use in non beyond decoder. If I remember correctly, someone already confirm non-beyond card can use on beyond decoder. I have an old decoder upstairs without an active account that I use for the kids to watch.
