You mean, Astro put a gun to your head and force you to subscribe?

Wat I meant was the HD digital and MPEG versions of others compared to ours,Most HD is upscaled on astro. Our quality is poor and very much compressed.Digital transmission has been postponed so many times.So to us those formats could be just a dream !

Subscribe or dont subscribe or who ask u to subscribe is not the issue the issue is for the betterment of things to come.By voicing our grievances Hopefully we hv better fare in future.

Like a gangsters or what?

I just had a look at that unifi tv things channels and they aren't that bad. There are quite a few on there I'd love to have on Astro.

grrrr. Still waiting for them to launch that fibre optic stuff where I live. They were burying cables in the road a few weeks ago. I'm hoping they were fibre optics!

I don't suppose there's a roll-out map, is there?

Yes pal, their fare is okay with many new addittions,the best part I like is the international content compared to Asian versions. Sad indeed they are too slow to expand!

my pvr's fan doesn't spin, installer said the fan is automatic, will spin when box gets hot.

anyone have seen their pvr's fan spin at all, my box is getting pretty hot yet the fan is still not spin

Hi! Re Activation waiting period for B'Yond, I can confirm that Astro Cust Service states that there IS now a 14-day Wait For Activation!! NOT for installation...which is a separate matter.

However, the lady at the other end assured that the days "lost" ie w/o any Astro reception, wld b noted & deducted fr subsequent billing.

Also the no. of days to wait for activation may b less depending on the "Q"... ( on the same line of reasoning...the days can b more too, rite?)

On being asked if the activation waiting period is the same for NEW subscribers, her answer was "YES"!!

So....do old, existing, loyal(?) subscribers get any preference / advantange for being so...? A Big NO!!

Sorry, folks!

They have four or five HD channels too.

Off topic,

Nah mate, haven't seen in 32 years roll-out maps from TM. Trust me , they're utter unreliable on that part.
It will not be easy for you to guess where it's happening unless you see them by chance. There was some work in Cheras last month or so.

now Cheras is fully UNIFIED..

Anxiously waiting in Johor !!

same la..Johor wants Unifi too..

anyways..I was just visiting the Unifi website but cant understand too much..

Can someone simplify Unifi for me like how much can I get if for and what I would need..?
Just couldnt understand their plans and all..

Thnaks

from unify website, I think you should get these devices: adsl modem+router+wifi and set top box



by the way, DishTV( india largest satellite TV operator) begin to transmit 32 HD channels using 3 KU transponders recently rented from AsiaSat 5 at 100.5°E, HD channels including DiscoveryHD

see a list of their HD channels over here(scroll to the Ku band section down the page, but in chinese )

The astro beyond that i have install intermittent no voice and picture. Do you guys have this problem?

Yup. Same here. I swapped the box three times with no improvement so I just live with it

where i can get the package for the astro beyond? how much for the cheapest package? and what the cheapest package had?

thanks

for new subscribtion, read this page
http://www.astro.com.my/newsubscription/ar...es/art_693.html

for HD activation you will need to add RM20 HD fee, currently 5 HD channels(AXNHD, AXNBeyondHD, OneHD, FxHD, FoodNetworkHD) are not tie to any packages, anyone with byond box with HD activated can watch these channels

juz curious, let say if Subscriber A records a HD movie into an external hard drive. Can it be 'shared'? meaning can i take the external drive from Subscriber A and play it on my Astro Beyond unit?

Same thing happened to me.. but i F&*K them .. read this blog http://matkedah.com/blog/2011/02/21/astro-...tactics-beware/

Ya! when it coming! I need the speed! when ..when... when...!

No way !!!!
