Hi all,

I want ask the opinion..

By today the Astro Technician will come to my home to change my current B.yond to B.yond PVR astro. the question is.. it is worthily/possible to me to keep the elder box set B.yond instead of to swap to new one.

What i know is, currently the astro promotion is half price for the actual PVR installation charges. so if my calculation correct, the remain box set packages will charge only RM200(actual-RM400) and swap-box is RM150(actual-RM300). The different both will only RM50.

the reason i ask this because, my current B.yond is only less than 2 month ages. All my set is in excellent condition including the astro IR remote. If i keep all my set, i will have my old satellite dish, cable, satellite box, HDMI cable, and RCA cable back right?. so all that set can be my back up set including satellite dish( which can be my fry pan-hehehe).

tqvm.

Sorry... Yr PVR Smartcard KENOT b used in yr Byond box!!! whistling.gif

hahahaha.. if that so, i just swap for the new one.

My friend suggest me just keep the old one because she think if i subscribe the 2nd decoder with half price Mirror packages. The old set can install to my family house and the 2nd decoder i subscribe can be used to my family house. so i can saved half price packages fee every month.


wow! its look great but i guess the Astro Management will not allowed to do this, myb they hv set any system which locked for certain changes.

ehehehe..


tqvm.

No way!
Each Smartcard is "locked"/paired with its own Decoder!!
So NO way yu can use yr Smartcard in other Decoder in yr fmly's hse. sad.gif
Unless of course yu disconnect yr Decoder each time & bring it over to other hse to use...then can.

Hi,

i think u misunderstanding.

my friends mean that.. if i keep my old set and after that i subscribe the 2nd decoder with Half Price with mirror packages. So my supplement/2nd decoder can bring to my family house and can watch with the packages same with my primary decoder.

so,

1st decoder (RM125++)- remain to my house.
2nd decoder(RM62.50++)- bring to my family house and install my used satellite dish, cable, n etc(excluding my old decoder which i hv been terminate before)

Advantage will be = e;g - Superpack packages - RM125++, 2nd Decoder Promotion(half)- 62.50++. So for my 2nd decoder which use by family only pay for RM62.50++ instead of normal rate RM125++/monthly. then, My monthly total will RM187.50++ instead of RM250++.


From what i heard, if i subscribe the 2nd decoder promotion price, they will not give a extra satellite dish and with joined together with existing satellite dish. so my friend look the useful of my old satellite dish n etc(but not to the old decoder set which u mention as Dead Set. ehehe)

Correct me if im wrong.


but as i mention b4, myb the Astro will not allowed to do that and myb they already locked any system which for certain changes.

Hi,

Im using a PVR b.yond decoder. it is possible my decoder get easily damages if i let that thing being Switch On or Standby for 24/7.

My reason is, sometimes my recording schedule is at time im working or sleeping. So its hard to me to find a best time to switch off the decoder.


tqvm.
