like astro gonna care bout the ultimatum..they will just say "ok..AOD not in HD and people unsubscribe..lets put in Discovery HD..sure we would still make a big profit from new subscribers compared to losing some AOD subscribers.."

We need to understand..Astro does not listen to us..not that much anyways..and they know that they are the only pay Tv provider..forget TM Unifi, Tune TV and others..they are not in the same league as astro..and astro dont fear them based on the simpLe fact that they cant provide their services nationwide..even their current channel line up does not satisfy all the needs of what people want..

unless there is a major change in the current situation, astro will just sit on their backside earning money..n i dont balme them for doing so..

Please reach out for your calculator, then find out the subscription rate for AOD Dragon Pack - RM49.95 for non-dynasty - for dynasty subscriber RM 34.95 If majority of AOD subscriber unsubscribe then Astro contract with TVB problem for them. And one more thing is that TVB drama will be shown in CH 310 a couple of months later in HD.

I'm curious as to the line of thinking that would prompt this query... care to elaborate?

Astro is installing B.yond box for new subscriber whether or not they subscribe to HD Services. If Astro will to change all to B.yond box then those will don't subscribe to HD Services will recieve the HD & SD channel but their HD port disable that mean they can use RCA cable (HD channel but SD picture). Then Astro only needs to broadcast in HD only no need to duplicate in SD, so free up the bandwidth. And Astro will change all to B.yond box, cos AOD subscriber always switch their smart card with thier friends. B.yond box smart card can't be interchange.

i got a stupid call from astro ytd
they told me not to use hdmi port but AV. as they got mix up. now beyond pvr can watch HD where should be.

i told them i pay few hundred to buy HDMI cable as their beyond pvr dont support av port/cable. they hang up.

anyone receive such stupid call where ask u remove your HDMI and use av port where beyond pvr player don have such port?

Are you subscribing to HD services? Actually they don't have to call you, they can send signal over the air and disable your HDMI port. Are you sure it's Astro that call you.

TVB drama all also download or ppstream. Korean drama i know friends who watch on youtube with seperated Parts (eg. part 1, part). Aside form drama, music is a big thing. Good that they have Music Bank on KBS!

If you like One HD and Korean drama enjoy while you can, once it become popular like TVB drama then you will be charge for it, no more priview.

if new subscriber, how much i must pay for the initial installation / activation? is it true i need to apply for the normal astro 1st than i can apply for b.yond right? when the time comes, how much do i need to pay for the b.yond conversion?
*
New subscriber will be given B.yond set top box, and present normal box subscriber will be given B.yond boxes. In fact Astro is calling subscriber to change free of charge. No more swapping of smart cards.

on your byond remote control, press "home", then select "settings", "installation settings", enter password "0000", then select "satellite settings", on LNB type: universal, press "OK", select any entry point from 1 to 18, you will get your satellite signal strength and signal quality, some entry point will not show any signal, this is normal
after viewing your satellite signal, press "back" button a few time to go back to your channel viewing

need to go through many step just to check on satellite signal, not very user friendly at all, they should provide single button press to show satellite signal on the remote

by the way some browser has built-in spell checker, just use it brows.gif

You are the only one who understand, I wonder why those who don't understand need to post. If you can understand that means the rest is not so clever.

I left my b.yond 'on' for so many months don't know whether it's hot or not. Why worry lifetime warranty by Astro. If b.yond hang just press the on / off button until it reboot.
