I am currently using 2nd decoder package in my apartment (main decoder and billing/mailing is my in-laws' terrace house) and thinking of getting the B.yond

My main question is: How can I have the B.yond installed in my apartment?

Can I just inform Astro that my in-laws want to install B.yond, and when the installer come, I negotiate with the installer and get him to fix the B.yond set at my apartment?

If a user like me is under 2nd decoder plan, will upgrading to B.yond affect the 2nd decoder service? Will the 2nd decoder still be able to decode normal Astro signal which my in-laws will still be using?

Thanks in advance for all advises...

Thanks for the reply...

But as we are living in different location (about 1km apart), can I get the B.yong installed in my apartment while my in-laws still using the normal decoder? I believe I can't get 2 sets of B.yond decoder+dish as I'm under 2nd decoder package, right?

If that cannot be done, I guess I will have the following option -
1. no B.yond, no HD
2. terminate my 2nd decoder plan; re-activate my previous account and upgrade to B.yond (meaning paying for normal monthly subscription... )

Oh, the old dish can receive B.yond signal ah? I thot we must use the new dish for B.yond... If that's the case, why would installer install new dish for those who upgrade?

Well, let me check with Astro whether they can arrange for my B.yond before WC starts...


True, but I believe there are many users doing that...

quick question: does the installers need to replace the existing Astro cabling when they replace the dish and decoder?
