If I'm not mistaken as what I was told by the customer service people, it only applies for those who are still bound with the contract. Let's say, you're still bound with one year of contract when your decoder suddenly got a problem, then it will be extend to another 2 years starting from the date of activation of replacement decoder. Subscriber who already end their contract with astro will not be imposed another 2 years contract when they change the decoder due to faulty reason. BTW, you can see the sneak peak of new GUI here. Some 'lucky' user already received it since last year...

Byond services mean the one who subscribe hd service?

Okay. Apparently there is at least one hardware revision for Astro Max. When I was using it last time Astro decided to change the set out of the blue. No idea what changed.

I have not received the update after 3 force updates and im using the Second generation PVR. Lets see whether it will upgrade later.


As if the decoder malfunctions is caused by us . Why shall we get the contract renewed?
I bet he meant Astro service

I tried force update but the screen on the decoder went blank, what's wrong with it?

I have yet to receive the new EPG. Anyone knows how to do manual update?

How come we no longer get SMS notification of overdue payment ?

1. Power off your decoder (By unplug from power socket)
2. Plug in and wait for "BOOT" displayed on your Pace decoder.
3. Alternating press "Power" and "CH +" on the front panel of your decoder until you get "AUTO UPDATE".

If you failed on first attempt, please kindly redo the procedure. This only apply to Pace (1st Gen decoder).

how about the new samsung pvr built in wifi decoder?

Power then left then up button continuously when you power it on until it updates.
I have tried it at Petaling Jaya which I didn't receive it yet.
I assume its releasing it region by region and first to Samsung PVR first.

I tried it,force updated there was an update but no changes in EPG. Mine is pace Beyond PVR

well, what to do. I can make a video but I'm out of internet. (mum didn't pay unifi bills and I only have daily 150mb internet.

yeah exactly.

Guys, is it possible to use the supplementary 2nd decoder at another place? Does the 2nd decoder gets exactly everything the same including HD channels?

Just press ONE here ONE there,continously fast, u wl strike auto update

yes it is, although its illegal.
just inform the installer to go to the destination.
even comes with free dish.

Thanks. Can i just take the decoder and connect to an existing dish?

Anyone here have tried the manual update?how long does it take?
