Yes, on the forms did state your old smartcard number as well as your old DMT number.

Yeap , thats right . Mine they checked too before collecting the old unit .

Please clarify whether no "Astro on demand" when b-yond decoder was first installled or not possible to get this service now, after decoder already installed for a few days.


Thanks

Received sms from Astro notifying me the Astro Installer; and just received call from Astro Installer, they will come to fix tomorrow noon. I registered on 2nd January 2010, consider very lucky on their fast service.

Photo attached is the splitter lah.

Yes, I do have LNB with two connector (which I insist on it by telling the installer that some lyn forumer had it installed), one to my existing concealed cable for downstair, one to my bed room.
But, my MIL need to watch her hua hee tai from her own smart card, hence, i'm having two decoder downstair to swap the connection, thought this splitter can save all the hassle, sigh......

What package of astro you currently subscribe. I suspect they will based on the among to decide the installation.

Well i juz called astro cs juz now..

this cs guy said that...

Q: I want to semak status of my application with acc number 08xxxxxx-x

A: Telemarketing call you at 28th Dec... So, you will get notifications about installer on the 10th day!! 9th or 10th Jan... You have been enlisted in a WAITING LIST!!

Well, 10 days of waiting for installer actually, not within 10 days!!

Wonder y other ppl get their b.yond so fast not less than a week from register,,,

In Astro B.yond, FIRST LUCK FIRST SERVE actually..

Maybe they have problems transporting the b.yond sets to Malaysian Borneo via a shipliner... I mean acroos the south china sea.. The delivery will be fast if they used MAScargo...

both your new and old decoders will be able to tune to SD channels simultaneously
however when your HD decoder is tuning to HD channel, it selected higher frequency range in LNB, old decoder also forced to receive higher frequency, but there is no SD channels in these higher frequency.

have you ever posted a less than complimentary comment about Astro on this forum? like calling them ASSthrow or something...

Better check it yourself. Just plug out your new decoder and fix the older one. I did the same now, fix back my old black decoder which I get it 6 years ago and it still working fine.

Sport and Documentary

Based on the HD Channels currently available, you get 4 out of 5 channels

History HD
Nat Geo HD
ASSP HD
ESPN HD

I also waited an hour before can get the activation done after the installation. By the way, subcribe to HBO movie package 2 days ago while i only SD channel after calling. Called CS and say need 7 hours to activat HBO HD.. stupid SLA given.. anyway, i waited for 30mins only then the HBO HD is up and running... Good luck for yours...

Yeah, I know, don't think ESPN HD is available currently, may be end of this month. Thx

i did asked this question to the contractor installed the service as well.. What the reply is... "ALL LUCK".

ANyway, my astro byond taking 3 days from start apply to finish installation. Damm fast~

hi bro, how about S-video cable? is it available in the new decoder? thx

Back of the new decoder. You can see yourself what input and output available

Hi all, i plan to convert to Astro Beyond soon. i really like watching movei in HD.

But after reading this, abit worried, pay for 4 good channel but have to sacrifice the picture quality for the rest of other channel. (Wah Lai Toi, MTV etc etc)

For my old non astro beyond decoder, i found out that S cable give the best PQ.

Would like to check again, since the new decoder use HDMI to give the best PQ for HD channel, will it affect the normal non HD channel PQ, at least on par with the S-cable quality?

thanks in advance for clarification.

Hi, wanna know if install the new b.yong set will be required to pay additional RM20/month in order to watch HD?
BTW, if those old TV dont have hdmi port?
