hi there, im a NJOI subscriber but my encoder broken, can i just replace it and use like usual ?

Good, going to apply 2nd NJOI

Hi, do I need agent for this, or just via online application on njoi website?

Also, is the decoder HD enabled? And is there a need for a HD enabled decoder? Only 1 channel is in HD, yes?

yes, HD enabled.

Why not since HD and non HD is at the same price.

More than 1 free HD channels.

Thanks for your response. How can you tell if the decoder is HD enabled? Any easier way rather than checking the serial number as per the FAQ?

Now all new decoder hd

Hope to see more HD channel for NJOI

Any wifi option for the decoder?

What are the pros and cons about NJOI?

Any promo for installation in Melaka ?

Any way to buy without installation fee? I can straight connect to building sat and do some simple setup.

Just a quick question
If i buy world cup knock out pass from njoi now.. Can i view it later at my decoder? And I already link my njoi now account to smart card decoder.

Thanks

I terminated ASTRO so I need not waste money paying them every month....BUT.... installed ASTRO's NJOI package... for a one time fee of RM385. I still get to watch Astro but limited channels...which are fine for me cos I need not pay anything every month for life. FOREVER :-D

Whats the catch they didnt tell you? Ok... the channels are not HD...except for 2 channels. The rest are not HD...BUT.... the resolution/visual quality of the non HD channels are very low. Lower than the normal house TV with a external aerial. Shocking! The audio quality is also very harsh and low quality sound. They intentionally made it sound bad so that you will want to upgrade to their normal post paid plan and pay them every month forever.

Another thing is the NJOI decoder does not have audio output if you wanna connect it to your hifi. You need to buy a digital to analog coverter and connect your TV into your hifi amp. So leceh.

I was so disgruntled after seeing such lousy video quality from NJOI just now in my house. the malay installer said ' Oh...NJOI memang gambar quality tak bagus. yes...Sound pun sangat kasar. apa nak buat boss.... ini kan FREE seumur hidup? hahaha'

I merely gave a weak smile to him and said thank you.

so if you wanna install NJOI....you will have to live with really bad quality audio and video quality from astro. I wished somebody said this before I installed it.

You use back your old Astro PVR decoder or new NJOI decoder?

Im using my old Astro PVR decoder and that time it was just free to activate Njoi without any setup whatsoever.

I dont see any difference on the sound or picture quality of SD channels on my Njoi compare to my old astro account.

Video signal passthrough to my AVR for SD channel is 1080i with 2 channels sound.

Similar for HD channels, they are 1080i but surround 5.1 channel sound.

Please check your settings.

If there is a poor picture quality i should be able to observe since im watching these SD channels on my 50" 4K TV.


Another thing there are more than 2 HD channels, at least 5 are free (Xi Yue, Maya, eGG, GoShop, GoShop2)

Paid HD channels available now are WorldCup 1 and Worldcup2, Tara HD, Raya HD,Vinmeen HD, Bollywood HD, Quan Jia, AOD, Oh!K, tvN, Boo, WarnerHD, Kix HD.

use NJOI decoder. You mean I can use back my old Decoder?

Yes just insert the NJOI sim card

OK....first, as advertised, astro did mention there are 2 FTA HD channels (135 and 300 if you exclude those shopping channel).
ASTRO satellite broadcast is using MPEG2 video and MPEG Audio for those SD channels. This is common knowledge by now after 20 years of ASTRO monopoly.

If you are talking about DVB-T2 broadcast via normal house aerial, MYTV is broadcasting using H.264 and HE-AACv2. Of course the quality is better than ASTRO.


MPEG2 standard = year 1996
H264 standard = year 2003
HE-AACv2 = year 2004

Note: astro HD broadcast is using H264 and HE-AACv2 or sometime AC3


Cannot lah, he is using Samsung zapper decoder. The NJOI SIM serial is tied to the decoder serial.

Hi, what about Hua Hee Dai, available in HD?
