Hopefully astro can give really nice new hd channel, not like sundance hd

wow this thread is getting sooooooooooo sleeepppppyyyy..
need some new controversy by Astro to make it alive again..
even news of 5 new HD channels isnt making people talk..coz its still a long way away and we're not even sure whats the channels or even if its true..

wake me up when its kicking off again

Did any of 5 HD channel would be available on 1st Oct? I mean, just like last year.

There is a strong possibility of In House HD channels for family pack. Maybe one Malay and Indian HD.I am not expecting much variety cos adding premium channels wld make the superpacks seem damn cheap!
Lets hope we get the anticipated channels!

Anything exciting from Assthrow?

Any good offer from Astro for those who'd like to upgrade to BYond ?

The PVR at my house committed suicide yesterday. While browsing the recorded programmes (at the background it was recording one channel) it suddenly freezed. The video was still playing but you cannot do anything. I could only go back to the big screen (blue byond button) but I cannot change channels. I tried on-off via the remote control, but to no avail, I still could not change channels. So lastly,as a last resort, although I know it was bad since there was a spinning hard disk inside, I switched off the power supply. Waited for a while, then turned back on. After that, I lost all PVR functionalities. No recorded programmes/cannot playback/record/pause, etc. All other functions remained, just like an ordinary Byond box. Called Astro and they will send a technician over. I wonder if they will just give a new box to me.

Yup, they will replace with a new one. Similar case like mine. My box was replaced after just 2 days they installed my byond pvr. its lifetime warranty by the way.

Dreaming of BigFoot 3D which is on Measat3A to come on to asstro!!!

we need HD for indian channels as well....chinese has it...

Guys Im just curious if anyone kena lightning strike through their astro decoder before? Last Sunday there was a very fierce lightning in my area and when it strike, my TV and astro decoder went blank for awhile. The lightning killed my modem & router, lucky not my TV.

Can't do anything to avoid that, unless you're Astro IPTV users.

If Assthrow sources are from satellites, IPTV won't be spared as well.

satellite dishes at Astro's antenna farm are humongous. it would take a serious storm to affect the signal for their sources. the chances are very very slim

Not need a serious storm. A sun outage will do.
