If you are new to Astro and would like to get the new Astro B.yond Box and subsequently view the high definition channels, you will have to sign up to the current Astro standard definition packages while we process your application for the new Astro B.yond Box.

You will be given the standard definition Astro box, complete with the free standard installation, while waiting for the new Astro B.yond Box. Once the Astro B.yond Box is available, we will call you to arrange for an exchange.

You will receive the Astro B.yond Box, a new smartcard, a new outdoor dish unit (ODU), a new remote control, and HDMI cables free of charge on the condition that you return the other Astro box, remote control, smartcard, ODU and commit to take up the high definition channels at RM20.00 per month for a minimum of 12 months, which will allow you to enjoy the high definition channels of the standard definition channels available on your current subscription.

It's not 100% solved. Depend on your signal strength during clear day, you may get service interruption during heavy rain.
But it is significant improvement.
The key thing is:
- change to ODU 65
- installer must align the dish properly
- change to new cable (some people still use existing cable & still ok)

Depends on when you install the Astro decoder I guess. I see that older installations have slightly thinner wire. My grandparents' place install in 2003, cable looks like normal antenna cable. My house install last year, cable noticeably thicker.

Reliable sources confirmed most of the channels going on HD sooner between June & Dec 2010. RM50m spent on couple of HD channel rights

interesting insider info, so astro is going to use all 12 transponders in measat 3A, but I think it is still not enough capacity in measat 3A to braodcast all channels in HD, they can only transmit 5 HD channels per transponder

Astro Beyond seems to be very interesting, but with current price for Sports channel (especially) , its too pricey..im just gonna have to stick with current state for time being before switching..

if it is upscaled, then it still needs the same bandwidth as the real HD channel

I think astro will use some of the transponders from old measat 3 to transmits some of the HD channels

Hold your horses ! Astro remains a weather detector, no doubts about it i had my blackout two days ago due to very heavy rain. Airplanes should seriously consider Astro for more accurate info rclxm9.gif
Only the codes are gone!
