I have switch off 2 times and waited more than one hour already, the problem is still there.

The clock is still normal and don't show 00:00.

My scheduled recording are all removed automatically after the 100 free channels and I cannot remove it manually.

So there is nothing to record and I cannot record.

I think this is to prevent people from recording the 100 free channels and distributing them. eg. Astro on demand, astro first etc.

So I need confirmation from other subscribers.

Their customer service sucks, I tried to call them but cannot get through many times.

I just called astro customer support this morning. They say they will try to activate my pvr recording function and ask me to wait after one hour.

After 8 hours also, problem still not solved !

astro technical support SUCKS!

I think it is because of the 100 free channels 10 days problem.

Can anyone else with PVR confirm ?

Astro customer service really sucks.

They promise 48 hours to fix problem but they only called me at 60 hours after reporting problem.

Worst still, the solution is really childish, instead of finding out what are the real problems, they decide to just change the whole decoder !

All my recorded programs are gone !

This is a stupid and lazy way to solve problems.


All those BEST OF THE BEST AWARD are all bullshit ! More like WORST OF THE WORST AWARD should be given to ASTRO.

You mean new customers get free previews for 60 days only ?

For existing customer, how many days free preview ?

What sort of upgrade that need to open channels ?

Questions:


1. What is the USB port at the back for ?

2. How do I connect digital audio port to my speakers ?
What cable do I buy ?

Can someone tell me which are the astro olympics channel for this coming 2012 london olympics ?

Is it free or we need to pay how much ?

Is it possible to subscribe to astro olympics channel just for one month for olympics ? How much is the rate ?

Thanks for the answer.

Astro Arena CH 801 is heavy on football, badminton etc which I am not interested in.

When is Astro toll free ? I thought all 1-300 phone call are chargeable from landline.

Thanks for explaining 1-300 , I am in KL, so no difference.

Anyway, I don't call astro anymore as they take ages to reply, waste my call charges.

I have asked this question to so-called 'speaker salesmen' in shops and they don't know the answer.

Hopefully, someone smart can answer me here.

I want to connect my astro byond box to a pair of speaker.

But I don't want to buy an amplifier because I don't have much space.

Can anyone recommend a good clear pair of PORTABLE speaker mainly for clear voice.

It must have direct connection cable to astro byond.

HDMI port is ON when you pay extra rm 20. Even though you don't subscribe to HD channels it is still OFF.

Daylight robbery.

Size of beyond box is huge.

Any mini amplifier around ?

A sifu here !


Thanks for all the explanation. I appreciate it.

I got one portable logitech speaker for my laptop which is connected via USB. The sound is very clear.

I am going to look for another logitech to connect to my astro byond box later.

I have tried this already. Unfortunately, the sound quality is mediocre as there is loss of signal and volume.
