Hey guys, sorry for asking such a basic question but I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer...

I managed to get a free byond replacement for my Astro Max and the technician said that the byond requires double aerial cable or something and he gave me the option of drilling for the secondary cable or buying a signal compressor for RM300. The cabling for my astro was done 13 years ago and is really really long so I'll have to go for the converter option and I just want to know whether is he trying to screw me over because RM300 sounds suspiciously overpriced... Is there anywhere I can get that device and how much will it cause near Subang? Many many thanks in advance!! Keep up the awesome work guys!1

1. Are the HD channels currently offered don't come with subtitles?

2. I got 2 accounts on dirrent house, 1 B.yond and 1 Standard, is there anyway to purchase the new sat dish and receiver to replace the standard one so that I can move the Astro B.yond decoder to the other house and watch it?

if you are asking the guy who is writing and testing the software, perhaps it would be good to be a little polite.

In fact if you don't really know who you are talking to, does it give you a license to be rude?

No! Need to flash some member cards to participate.

Asstro is a monopoly. If there are other competitors in Msia, Asstro would have gone out of business by now.

I am sure most people here who has been in other countries would agree.

I have written many software for donkey years, why not hire me to write a better software and in a shorter time ?

Astro can't even give optional subtitles and reduce the font size which is easily done by other countries. How about giving the episode numbers which most people in other countries would have done already. I can list out many others but nothing will change....

Pardon me if this has been mentioned before but.. will there be a (slight?) improvement in picture quality for non-HD channels using the b.yond decoder and receiver?  
Would like to know if the additional monthly RM20 justifies the upgrade (besides the handful of HD channels provided of course)

Why don't you submit resume & show them what you can do?

AFter WC I will cancel my HD services and just keep PVR services....

Astro is the first 3D WC broadcaster in south east region. Any news on starhub (singapore broadcaster) regarding 3D?

Nope.

Seems Astro is a one step ahead from Starhub in 3D broadcast. 

Not really.
