Yup.. me too.. I told CS don't want HD. But when they swap to Byond PVR got HD channel. Call CS then they cancel the HD channel for me...

the RM10 monthly charges after one year will be charged if you dont subcribe RM20 monthly hd..

if u take hd channel, then RM10 monthly charges is waived.

This is what the Astroman told me..

But as i know... Astro Max service will terminate on 10/10/2010... now they give 2 years free for PVR

Is this true the Astro Max service will terminate ??

I m still on Astro Max (slight issues but can live with it) cos stay i condo, building mgt dun allow to pull cable or install dish on the balcony...

All using centralized Master Antenna/Dish..

I find paying RM10/month is a fair price cos last time I paid RM500 for the Astro Max , that is 50 months (almost 4 years) if only pay RM10/month..

I think lots of ppl did not take up the Astro Max last time cos of the RM500 initial cost..

I don't think astro max can be "terminated", the most they can do is stop issuing firmware update

I'm okay with that. They always upgrade the firmware but it still always have small issues and sometimes hang when the disk is about full and I seldom use the Programming Guide too... I just do manual recording...

so ? change to pvr or stay with huge max ?

switch to pvr

I am still using the dreaded AstroMax

Yours is RM500 mine was RM900 !! It got into my nerves got rid of it and took Beyond FOC with 1yr recording free .Max wl be phased out I know, Lose now or later lost is lost !

I got max decoder for just RM50...

my max cost me RM0.00

Free upgrade for "loyal" customer, isn't it?

Last FRIDAY ASTRO inactive my account. The reason given is, I am using old ASTRO Max decoder. They want me to change to new Astro Byond PVR. FYI, since last year, Astro has sent 2 letter over to me regarding their Astro Byond PVR Offers. 1st letter they request me to change my decoder for free (include installation) + 1 year free PVR services (save RM10X12 month). I did not do anything because doesn’t plan to use neither plasma, lcd nor LED Tv yet.. After few month, another letter came and the offer is better. They plan to give me 2 years of free PVR service if I am willing to change my Astro Max decoder. On top of that they mentioned that my Astro max will soon inactive and I will face the problem if anything happened in near future. What the F@#K….? MORE STORY CONTINUES HERE

Man, mine' the same, but I have to give in cos in the end, got kids and wife at home. Damn, should have stayed, but since they have not installed my PVR, think I'll find a way to get them put back to normal...... dam dam....
