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.

For activation. So installer doesn't have to talk to humans. Just enter numbers through the phone to send the necessary numbers in order to do activation.
Hey, they should put another option in their IVR for us waiting for Byond.
"Thank you for calling Astro. Press 1, if you want to give us middle finger for delaying your Byond. Press 2, to say "@#$% you" to us for not calling for T&C, or Press 3, to shoot our CS in the balls.

Oh thanks, spikey.

According to the Astro installer, the IVR having some problem around noon, he have tried few attempt keying the installer code, serial number and smart card no, the system was not working. According to Astro CS, no problem to their system. Very confusing rclxub.gif Still waiting for smartcard activation, hope the installer and astro will resolve the coordination problem.

Haha..Astro & intallers always having this coordiantion problem..Mine was delayed almost 4 days after they sort out their mistake...Lucky still within 10 days bcos the installer called me on the 3rd day & suppose to install on 4th day but due to address mismatch, he only installed on the 7th day after I registered online.

Hello..

Just installed my B.Yond set yesterday. The picture quality for the HD channels is superb. But i wander why the quality for other channels seems to be worst than before. U guys have the same prob? Or it is just my eyes are in denial after watching the super clear HD channels. Hmmm

They showed me the satellite signal strength, the radio channel, is it consider demo? Spoken to Astro CS just now and blamed Astro on the coordination problem with their installer until the CS almost wanna to cry, then I stopped, not her fault, pity her.

Got my Astro byond today..!

happy with the the HD quality..

Okay, most of you face problem with installer trying to activate your astro byond eh? same here.. It seems like a genuine problem. Installer do it in front of me. system error.. !

afternoon only ok.. and my astro byond starts receiving transmission.

~~~~

found out something interesting..

I install my Astro Byond at my new house.., planning to move in only end of this month.

I didn't return the old decoder and dish.. and pay the installer RM80.

I did ask the installer.., can I just bring back this new decoder to my current house and use the old dish..

The installer said - ooh.. cannot.., signal different.., you need me to adjust your positioning. This new HD satellite is not the same position like previous one.

I said to him - No need lah.., i try my luck.

Back home.. , i disconnect my old astro decoder, reconnect new one.. and.. on the decoder..!

change the transponder to no.18.. got the highest signal...!

naaaah! myth busted!! old dish can use with new decoder and don't have to change any position at all!

so.. it was installer laa try to BS us..

so.. for those of you .. thinking of keeping your old dish and decoder.. I think it's worth it.

When I move out, I might dismantle the old dish and keep it for spare and travel.

Yes.., I have brought my Astro Dish with me for balik kampung trip.., camping trip..! just adjust it to the correct angle.. and voilaa! you got a live EPL matches near the beach! (provided got electricity laa! biggrin.gif)

~~~

picture from my snapshot..

No way is the picture quality worse on SD with HDMI.
It is better.

I think most of you are noticing this becasue you just spent half an hour looking at an HD channel and went to SD. Naturally the difference is huge when doing this but it is still better then what it was.

Your brain is playing tricks on you.

Previously my Byond was installed with the old type Astro dish and I got a signal of 195.

After making complaints via Astro website, the installer came to my house and replace it with the correct dish.

Now I really feel satisfied.
