QUOTE(eMKs @ Jan 5 2010, 02:46 PM) Is it true? how many of you guys experience the same? I apply byond thru online yesterday, today cs call me for t&c. She said they will install all unit (dish, cable, dmt & remote) but i must return old set. If i want to keep old set, they will charge RM80 for each items. that's mean, DMT-RM80, dish-RM80, smart cad-RM80 I said i want to keep dmt only for my mom's house (still use sluggish old nokia dmt  ). She said better i change my dmt with my mom & return my mom's dmt to them, so i wont need to pay anything. Could i do that? I'm also thinking of the same thing. I subscribed to Astro just last week, just for the purpose of getting Byond, so I got the newer decoder with component out. Wanna swap with my dad's 9 years old Phillips DMT. But worried the installer maybe fussy and wants the exact decoder tied to my account. Another option is of course to pay RM80, which I am reluctant. Should kautim with the installer lah like this.

QUOTE(kaspersky-fan @ Jan 4 2010, 10:58 AM) No no.... the component output is SD, 576i....only 576i.... so when u feed this signal to ure tv, ure tv will know automatically what to do, which is resize it for u.... i feel that resizing done through tv looks sharper... r u sure? what lcd/plasma tv that u hv? mine is sony 32V550A & component input can support hd format up to 1080p. check this 1080p over component video standard proposed to the CEA

Received call from Astro CS, no problem on smartcard activation system, apparently the Astro Installer did not carry out the right procedure contacting IVR (dunno what stand for) giving his Astro installer code, Astro beyond serial number and smartcard number. Gave him the Astro installer contact number, hope the problem and activation can be done soonest.
