Any idea if you reset factory settings will we get back 1.0 ? and do we need to reset the satelite stuff?
anyone tried this?

my tv doesnt support stretch..


It seems like stretch gone might be something permanent

I just called them... did anyone notice the phoneline sometimes just goes silent? After 5 attempts i finally got thru..


Yeah the customer service rep told me to email... WECARE@ASTRO.com.my

i said.. yeah wecare indeed.. i wonder how long it will take you guys to show YOU CARE this time

I agree.. i'm watching celestial movies right now.. this is F@#$ing ridiculous... its like i'm watching tv on my lcd monitor!

I gave the customercare another call and gave her a good 20 minutes of a lecture... She finally gave up and asked me for my number because i kept pestering her for some one who cane let me know how or when this will be rectified.

A guy called me 30 minutes later apologizing for the problem and said that he couldn't give any date due to the weekends and the managment won't have any meetings till monday.. but he said the strech will be restored and due to the number of complaints he said it will be sooner rather then later.

he also promised to call me back on monday with an update because i said if they are gonna take 2 ~ 3 months to rectify this i want them to come and take this decoder, shove it up their asses and give me my old decoder back..

All i can say is keep calling astro (i plan to call again tomorrow) seems like they are under pressure. if not, then just terminate byond. pay the stupid penalty, and get on with ur lives (that my plan anyway). Astro has been pulling a lot of crap these past years..Boxoffice suddenly started sucking.. then Kirana was removed now aruna.. now this stupid stunt...

hmm.... Childs throwing fits? don't you get it? this is about astro SD.. AXN, Celestial Movies, StarWorld... the 20 bucks that we're not paying for are for the 5 HD channels not the other 50 channels...

Next time you choose to call people children you should do your homework... Kid.......

I get his logic.... he means since we are not paying 20 ringgit, we should ignore the fact that astro are screwing with our 100 ringgit worth of subscription.

the idiot doesnt even have byond... if he did, he'd know what we mean and would probably be calling astro children and not us=.=

Hamas just shut up.. you don't own an astro byond decoder... Ur previous comments clearly showed that you moronic imbecile...

To all forumers please refer previous posts made by Hamas.. he clearly has no idea of how an astro byond decoder functions... But for some reason he does like calling people kids.. perhaps because he is one

Agreed... After using pillarbox for 2 days.. i am starting to begin to accept it.. HOWEVER there still are concerns.. Celestial Movies for one show almost all their shows in a letterbox format.. This gives my tv a double border like look when it adds to pillar box..

You can try this on animal planet as well... It reduces my screen to such a small size..letterbox plus pillar box.. -> What the hell man? I get a plastic border (the tv shell) and also an on screen border and the show is freakishly small..

Edit :

And before any smart alec's start telling me to go zoom on such channels... i did that already and when i do.. the subtitles get knocked off the screen (because they are in the letter box border.

Switch to AV cable seems to be a stupid solution for just some channels

Not to say living.. more like surviving... Chinese movie package is a good 20 bucks more or less.. pillar/box and zoom option have rendered it useless... While i am beginning to be ok with using pillar box for some channels.. its not a full blown solution for all channels. IT LOOKS REALLY REALLY BAD on celestial movies and animal planet.

However.. not to fully flame astro.. (i think i did that already on the phone)... I will probably maintain my pillar box settings in future even if the stretch is restored, & use stretch only on the channels i'm complaining on.

A rep from astro called me again at about 3pm... He said he hasn't gotten an update yet because they are still discussing but hopefully they will get some news by tomorrow morning =.= ..
