Last time I called astro, the free move promotion is over.

They charge you RM150 to re-install + RM 50 to dismantle at u old place.

I must said AjkR06 suggestion is viable. like me, I try to save the cost as much as I can. For some people, 200 is nothing then spending a few hour try to dismantle this thing.

and also for terminate and new installation is also acceptable and I done this 3 years ago.. Since the old astro on my wife name I just do new installation using my name and terminate my wife account. All free except 2 year contract. Since for sure you will using astro why this is a bad idea? you got new decoder, new dish and so on + backup decoder + remote + dish from your old setup. This is OK if you contract is OVER.


I move again early this year and again trying to save a money I do it myself. Dismantle is quite easy. Try to re-install is different story. Just using the television set, it's take me 2 days (around 1 hour/day) try to get the signal. But at last I did it. BUT same channel is not working. Mostly channel I never watch except ntv7 and tv1.

Current solutions... Upgrade to Byond. New things again with cost RM20x12. After 1 year will downgrade to basic package again.

herojack41 : If you can't do it urself doesn't mean others can't also.. And calling people stupid doesn't help either.

Why astro charging you RM150 + RM50 and not RM 200 is because most people can dismantle the units. Just a few nuts only.

of BTW, my mover guy (not certified by astro) offering RM80 for complete package. But if you go this route, make sure you check all channel before they leaving.
