I gave a call to CS yesterday regarding to the beyond things. They told me that we are a subscriber since 1996, so they are giving us a much better deal. Everything will be free, decoder, satelite, remote control, installation. And it will be free until april 2010. Is this consider a better deal? How many of you are actually a member since 1996-1998 and get a better benefits than me?

Ok, one more thing, as i might be relocating to another house soon, they told me if i stay with my current package, they will charge me RM150 for relocating. But if i subscribed astro beyong, then they will waive all the fees, i don't know how true is that, or the installer will charge me a fee for installation?

I'm about taking all the packages, imagine that i'm now paying RM18x every month.

everyone here is getting the same deal...free until april
i'm also a subscriber from 1998 as well....

The astro installer just installed byond this morning, I've just came home and my sister said everything was fine, until I went and take a look at the "brand" new dish on the roof, and to my surprise the dish looks like the old dish, going to have someone take a look at the back to confirm whether it's the 60 cm or 65cm dish.

care to PM me your installer details if u have
i can't stand sabah's astro already......they're so lazy

my installer had a list of things he needed to take back. took all, cable, dish, decoder, smartcard. didnt take the AV cable though. it might come in handy in future.

mine not activated yet. installer didn't call me back inform about activation. ASTRO call centre swamped with calls to activate.

mine...he activate it in front of me with his HP
now waiting lo
but very weirdly...when i ask him want to take back..right?
thn he say no need...lol
10 minutes finish....
didn't even change the dish
he say my area only have 4 applicants
i tested the volume...eventhough didn't update yet...it works...not like other LYNers say that it doesn't work

Applied online 19-12
Called them 23-12
T&C 24-12
Installer called 4-1, 6-1 installed (Bukit Jalil)

Signal strength quite bad at 155. Anybody have lower then this?
He also checked signal strength before installation of new dish with the old dish and it was also around 150.
Installer says the concealed wiring is too long (3 storey house) and signal can only be improved by moving dish down.

But still looks great on TV and I love the 5.1  rclxms.gif

Will wait to see premier league before making decision. smile.gif
*
mine is 220-222
but i tried other recommend to switch to #18...mine become 185 instead of become stronger...lol
weird again

QUOTE(pay2buy @ Jan 6 2010, 11:08 PM)
I'm in the same boat also.

The installer definitely installed a new white dish instead of the dark grey one. I asked him politely about it and he said there is no dark dish. If you want you could wait some more or call astro to cancel this order (in a bossy tone). wah lau...  shakehead.gif unbelievable!

The smartcard also not activated yet until now. The installer say it wont be long to be activated, he waited for some time and then leave. Call Astro CS 8 hrs later, they said the installer suppose to activate the smartcard after installation directly.  doh.gif  Great.... Now I cant watch any channel and they said : Sorry.. you need to wait for 24 hrs to resolve the problem.  cry.gif

Is there by any chance your installer called Mr Lim?
*
if u have 1 decoder...they will give u the white 60CM dish...if u have 2 thn they will give beyond dish with 2 connector
if i'm not wrong la
cuz my installer also gave the 60CM dish to me....haven't install also...using the old one...the new one kept as spare
and yes...the installer should activate it in front of u...mine did it in front of me until his HP come out saying your what what successful thn only he left...will take around 30min -1 hour

They took my old decoder, remote and old smartcard.

As my earlier post, try to boot (turn off/on), go to satellite setting, see you can see an 'ok' button at channel 1, press ok, under the satellite signal strength page, there should be an 'ok' button, if not, repeat booting.

The plug at the back of the remote is for user to remapping /reprogramming , you need to buy the JP1 cable, the one on Astro B.yond remote seems with 6 pin, but other universal remote control such as, OneforAll, there is no pin, just 6 pin-contact on small piece PCB. For more on JP1, see the following link.

ya...mine also have a OK button from start
that's why can change to #18 but now seem cannot change back to #1
i can change actually but when i go back and re-enter...it's still back to #18

Do you see ok button at satellite signal strength page (#1) ? If yes, after pressing ok, there should be a tick on #1. If not, try to reboot your decoder again.  It seems the Dec23 09 is unstable, sometimes it shows up , sometimes not.
*
i'll try that later
cuz there is ok button..press it...and it confirms
but when i re-enter it...it's back to 18...weird

RM20 is chargable from April 2010.

BTW, the beyond installer are coming tomolo 11am.

Sign on astro centre on 4th Jan 2010
5th Jan still no T&C ppl call
then call CS on the 6th morning
7th afternoon T&C ppl called
8th installer called and confirm 9th 11am

So i still donno my beyond subcription is sign on the astro centre or CS, but as long as they come n install tomolo, who cares.
And Hence, 1 more beyong user in KOTA KINABALU, SABAH
