i applied when 1st week they launch.. oni yesterday they come to install..

I think you gotta be a bit more persistent

im not defending astro..but if the girl say ur log didnt appear....maybe u got ur request problems like its not complete, either the computer didnt send the borang n so on....

Really??? 5 months waiting, new record...

Any officials link that say Astro will show Thomas Cup in HD?

Because im thinking of buying Semis & Final ticket, but if they show it in HD, i might watch it from my comfy couch.

if you're thinking of going, please go - we need more people to support sports in the venue and less in armchair. otherwise these sporting events will not find their way here any more...

Everypne who has called Astro to subscribe for Byond will actually get the standard response of 10 days to install..
No matter u subscribe online or through the phone
No matter if u have subscribed online for 2 weeks or 2 hours..
No matter if u live next to Astro in Bukit Jalil or in Perlis..
They say 10 days..
But as many have found out sometimes they can install in 3 working days
Or in my case more than 2 weeks
For those who want to subscribe for Byond, it is more advisable to call and apply
Speak to their CS would help u know more than applying online and wait forever
Sometimes ur online application never get to them or its delayed by astro themselves

There were only 4 spectators watching in the stand facing the camera..2 Rela guards and 2 ballboys..!!!

Yes I do believe LIVE match experience is definitely different feeling altogether, nothing else compare to present physically

The use of insects in medicine is called entomotherapy

btw, rats aren't insects.

Waoh, seriously didn't know this thing can be used for medicine treatment
You mean just to swallow it ?!

[SIZE=7]Astro exploring more targeted advertising using set-top box data

ASTRO is exploring the possibility of providing more targeted advertising solutions for its clients based on audience and measurement data from its set-top boxes.

Speaking at Astro’s Future of Advertising industry event on April 30, Henry Tan, Astro chief operating officer of strategy, content and marketing, said that the current audience measurement system did not accurately reflect and measure the performance of multi-channel providers such as Astro, as it was “designed in an era of free-to-air (FTA) television and favours FTA TV stations”.

“We are prepared to invest but we need a fairer system to accurately measure TV viewership in a multi-channel environment — a measurement tool that is robust and ready for how TV viewing has changed in Malaysia. Without numbers, the media plan can’t win the battle of scrutiny,” he said.

Asked if Astro would charge for the audience measurement data, Tan said Astro had no immediate plans or details on the implementation of the technology or the terms of usage for the audience measurement data.

He added that Astro was currently focusing on its soon-to-be launched personal video recorder and video-on-demand services.
Tan said Astro would be launching its personal video recorder or digital video recorder (DVR) services this month, followed by video-on-demand services later on. It launched Astro B.yond high-definition (HD) services in December last year.
He said Astro had the ability to fuse all data sources into data insights — “who is watching what, when, at which address and what their shopping habits are”.

However, media agencies, while welcoming Astro’s new initiative, expressed concern that the audience measurement data services would be offered at a premium.

“While the initiative is a positive one for the ad industry, media agencies’ profit margins are currently under pressure, hence the concerns of additional overhead costs in obtaining new audience measurement data,” said Vizeum Malaysia CEO Andy Miller in a phone interview yesterday.

This month? Another Astro DVR? What about B.yond capable?

yes there is an official link: http://www.astroplc.com/09/media/detail.asp?i=464§ion=9

OMG!!!! Please astro, if u wanna launch another DVR, Activate PVR function for Byond FIRST!!
I think, this new DVR was mix of Byond and Astro max... It should can receive HDTV + 2 tuners...

Audience measurement data? I wonder how do they do this. As they have mentioned before that they decoders are only capable of one way traffic only, they do not transmit back.
