Yes! Since you're from Ganu kite... why not you try yourself...
first, try using normal analogue antenna by tuning your TV to UHF band.....
Indoor antenna also can if your area have good signal...
Then, if u have DVB-T Tuner, you can scan for all of DVB-T signal around your area....
Tell us the result...

That things has been practiced on Indonesia...
They have lots of TV stations.. every district have their own television...
Jakarta have JAK-TV, Surabaya have JATIM TV, TVRI also have their own district TV version....

I also read somewhere that Malaysia also will have own state television starting on 2015 when digital TV have been implement to whole Malaysia...
But as usual la, all state television will be operated by RTM itself....

As I expected, they still choose to broadcast in analog signal for teresterial TV....
I'm really doubt that they will simulcast both in analog and digital like what happen in US....
I think, 100% digital terms only applied for their broadcasting equipment.. their equipment can be said, "ready for future"....

Hurmm... probably it's only 16:9 SD....
If they aired in HD, it shouldn't in analog....
As I know, Only Japan managed to aired HD in analog... and it can't be received by normal analog TV tuner....

Let's just hoping....

I think AK enjoyed direct feed of all astro channels... no censored.. no delay etc... Hahahah...

OMG!!! I'm still remember when in end of 2004, they also upgrading their customer service system....
My father make the payment, but they took so long to update it.... about one month....
Until my astro automatically terminated....

And I'm also still remember, on that period, one of their representative said that they keep all of changing package request, payment update, etc on PHYSICAL FILES...

(It is in Indonesian)

So far only RTM does that....
TV3... hurmm.. some said they testing around petaling jaya only... using DMB-T

1) Yes, you should. Tell them that your Astro still not activate. But you only can do it after 24 hours of installation....Nowadays, smartcard activation will take some time, maybe because much people are upgrading now. I'm still remember when I subscribe to Byond last December, it only takes about five minutes to activate the smart card... Better call them ASAP since they will do system upgrading if i'm not mistaken on mid-November... Their number : 1300 82 3838... Operating hours : 8am - 12 midnight... everyday including public holidays....BTW, you can listen to radio channel only because radio channels are not encrypted....

2) The chip of the card should be facing upward.... I think you have do the right things, but your card is still not activate, that's why pls insert the right smartcard are appeared on your tv screen.

3) I'm afraid that your HDMI port will be disable when your smartcard and account has been activated. Since they still not send the code to your smartcard and decoder, probably your HDMI port is still activate now.... But, yes, that's true. If you didn't subscribe to HD, they will disable your HDMI port. But I also heard some cases here, that HDMI port is still activate eventhough they did not subscribe to HD service.. Depends on luck maybe...

Some here said if i'm not mistaken, our sifu, TallJustin, adding the signal amplifier will only add more noise to the signal... Simple explanation, full bar signal that you get by adding the signal amplifier, are just noise... Not "real" signal....

What you mean by your picture quality are really blur before you install the signal amplifier?

Picture become pixellite or frequently stuttering?

Based on my very limited knowledge, Astro was transmitted using digital signal... and digital signal are only ON and OFF...

Your picture will be always same when adequate signal can be received by your dish and LNB... regardless signal quality are higher or not, same quality of picture will be shown on your TV screen.... Picture quality are determined by Astro itself, at their broadcast center.... their compression method and bitrate that they use to transmit the signal to measat satellite...

And if low signal are receive by your dish and LNB, as I said above, your picture will not blurry but it will become stuttering like when you watch stretched DVD or VCD, and when raining come to your area....

Sorry to say, maybe that's just a placebo effect.....


You can search all of old Byond thread, there are a lot of discussion regarding signal amplifier....
