just went to astro office and the pondan said have to pay rm99 conversion fee WTF!

but website says no conversion fee during campaign

You'll have to leave your decoder on standby and hope that it will receive the new update. Some NJOI users have already received it while others haven't: http://www.lowyat.net/2014/02/astro-to-dep...24-feb-onwards/

Once you see the new interface, you will be able to use the HDMI display port at the back of the decoder.


Hmmm. That's odd.
Has your Astro account been inactive before 31st December 2013?

yes, my account inactive for few years now.

i think the staff don't know about the current promotion or trying to con me of rm99

Try to use this link to activate your account http://www.astro.com.my/njoi/activate/index.aspx

I activated my dormant decoder without calling the hotline.

May I know which Astro office you went to or which staff you spoke to? I could try asking my friend to check.

wah, you so power

i went to the cheras branch yesterday afternoon, counter staff= Nazri (i remember cos i wanted to check whether it was male or female )

anyway, i already applied online, hope can get by next week

Njoi not available in Perak? I see no dealer at Perak from the website.

My own is the dm4 ( no pvr). That one can update. My parents one is the dm5 ( no pvr), this one cannot update. Urs?

Sorry my parents decoder is the new njoi now wif the green remote controller. Can't update it

Hi all.

I am now subscribing to Astro (with BYond decoder).
Account still active.

Should I choose to terminate this account, and subscribe to NJoi, will I enjoy the FREE subscription thingy ?

nujikabane
if your byond contract period has ended, you can ask for njoi conversion which may cost you RM99, ask astro centre to make sure

instead if you cancel astro subscribtion and get njoi anew, you will need to pay RM228 for a Refurbished DMT Box, or RM328 for a new box, + RM100 installation

Alright guys,
In terms of payment, how much do I need to pay?

Scenario :
Active Astro account (wish to terminate)
Decoder and dish both HD-capable.

^ So, it's RM99 for the initial payment.
What would be price for each months?

for njoi, every month you will need to pay RM0.00

It's free. There are no monthly fees necessary for the free channels.

^ Thanks guys!

Seriously, that is wicked! I mean, a one-off payment,
and subsequently, it is all free!

May I still continue to use the HDMI cable,
or would I need to get meself a composite cable?

And another question,
Does Njoi comes with contract ?

this is quoted from njoi website FAQ http://www.astro.com.my/njoi/

HDMI port at decoder will be disable. Need to use composite cable

for njoi, byond box updated with the latest firmware may have its HDMI port re-enabled
