Yesterday I've called up Astro to upgrade my package to Super Pack 3
I've decided to swap my current byond box set to PVR box set
and the CS told me I have to pay RM300 to change the New PVR box set then I agreed with the deal...

Today I read on this forum saying that Astro is doing the promotion price of RM150 to do the upgrading...
Immediately I had call to Astro CS to clarify the promotion
But CS told me I've to know who the agent I'm dealing with..(I totally forgot the name already)
Luckily the helpful CS lady's said she will help me to find out who is the agent was dealt with me

Confirmed is RM150

Yesterday the Astro CS agent was told me RM300.....
Today I called again to double confirm the price and The CS said that they have doing the promotion now
But the agent who was dealing with me does not know about the promotion
So the agent call me back and said that I have only pay RM150 to do the upgrading

I think Astro will not switch your package.....you will be pay more according to your current selected channel
You can go to calculate by yourself on this page http://www.astro.com.my/mypackages/articles/art_5156.html
So we don't have so much chances but have to follow their good package

Effective on 11 July 2011, all new rates will be implemented on your new statement
If you don't change you will pay more....unless you cut down some of the channel you don't want

Mine have been installed from Byond set to PVR set on this morning....
The sad thing is because my Astro cable was concealed inside the wall and this PVR set need to run for 2 cables
if you want to record & watch the HD channel at the same time...
No alternative I have to install another cable in my Living Room that is quite obvious one...

1. Not all the external hard disk is compatible with the Byond PVR decoder.....please note!

2. Yes! it is not necessary, but you are not able to record up to two channels at one time and watch the current programme!!

So weird.....
Mine Installer told me that I still can use back the existing cable for the Byond PVR decoder
But I'll not able to watch any HD channel and do any recording...
At the end...I have to choice for install another cable to made the decoder full utilize...

If you ask me to buy on this price only got 320GB capacity.....
I rather swap my decoder to PVR & pay RM150 to get 500GB capacity

Yes! the device their offer to you is call Stacker De-Stacker & you still can use back your old cable without add another cable for the PVR decoder.

But sadly in my area, the installer don't know have this device... & no choice I have to install another cable to my PVR decoder

Yes....because PVR decoder is running dual tuner so you will enable to record up to 2 programmes at the same time:

Yes...The stacker de-stacker cost is RM 300++ (according to the previous post mentioned) plus another RM150 installation fee then the total amount is RM450++

Did anyone received a call from Astro regarding for changing the packages???
Just now my relative had called me up saying that the Astro CS was called her up to ask her to change the package in hurry or else the package will end by this afternoon 12pm

11 July is charging the new rate......

The pros & cons as I know as follow:

Byond PVR hard disk storage = 500GB
Byong with Ext. hard disk storage = 320GB

Byond PVR decoder = RM 150 (during promotion period)
Byond Ext. hard disk drive = RM 200~RM 299

Other than that you can refer to here Differences

What so difficult?
Just call this number 1-300-82-9888 to subscribe....

Oh ya....

1-300-82-9888 is for the New Customer

1-300-82-3838 is for the Existing Customer

Why you need to do that???

I'm very hate to watching NTV7 due to the both subtitles are blocking half of the screen.....

Did anyone successfully linking your account at Astro website???
I have try so many times still failure don't know why???

Yes! I'm using Firefox (Can IE compatible?)......the problem is come out saying that my account is inactive and if your account has been changed it allow 48 hours to activate

But I have registered my account in last week, sure is more than 48 hours la....

Yes! Super Pack 3 is seems like value of money even though you can watch AOD also....

RM150 is the charges for changing your B.yond decoder to the 500GB storage B.yond PVR decoder which is including all the cable and dual LNB and etc!!! (Now is under promotion if not after September will be increase back to normal price of RM300)
