Errr nope.
The PVR box will work just like the usual HD box.
Although it supports functions like recording, watch VOD content, all those are disabled once you're on Njoi subscription, making those functions to become useless.

I can't imagine the recording and VOD disabled.
Is it means that when you press VOD (remote button there), and then show "black screen page" at your TV?
I first though at least can recording.. but no VOD.. blush.gif

Got somebody challenge to use Ultra box but njoi account? devil.gif

Lol, if you willing to pay up to RM1600 penalty fees for terminating before 24 months contract ends, sure why not? tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif Ultra Box just introduced to the public just few months ago lol.
Theoretically it is possible one.

Basically they can just disable Internet connectivity of the Ultra Box, making all those features like cloud recording, VOD, Play from Start, all immediately no longer available, and channel list change to Njoi's channel list, then done. biggrin.gif

Suddenly your Ultra Box become not "smart" anymore, eh?

Hello. Stupid question.

For me to enjoy Astro Njoi, is it compulsory to have the satellite dish? I live in a rented place and don't want to damage the place.

Ask your owner of the rented place to see if he/she allow you to install a satellite dish permanently on a wall.
I do wonder, how could Astro/Njoi satellite dish can "damage" your rented place? hmm.gif Or you can install the dish somewhere hidden from easily being seen from view.
Just in case you don't know how satellite TV works, you can't install the dish indoors/inside your room/house cuz you won't get a signal at all.
Place it wherever you want, even on the floor, as long it has line of sight to the sky (facing west).

You plan to stay that rented place for a very long time? Is Njoi really a need?

If you insist, there is a way...

this is what will be shown. basically ur PVR box is no different as njoi box since no extra features will be available as it is tied to your smart card.

i think this is the reason why astro does not need you to return the box since you cannot use it anywhere else technically. what they hope for is one day you will be returned to astro or convert it to njoi.

it is a must. actually installation of satellite is normally at roof top to get the best signal. so what the damage can be caused is only to drip a hole on the false ceilling to link to the satellite on roof top for non-concealled installation. if the house has no false ceiling, the cable will just be exposed along the wall etc.

Yup, nothing can be accessed. Even previously videos cannot be watched becos no PVR service.

So it is really no different as the njoi box that can be signed up now.

Unlikely. Almost zero possibility.

They won’t do that to cannibalise their Astro normal package business.

Increasing njoi users will not help in their business.
I believe they provide the njoi service just to increase their presence for more users to watch their own channels like AEC. In addition, to provide an option for those who really do not need full service like myself to watch selected channels and for them earn the extra prepaid charges from this group of users.

For those who have TVs but without DVB-T2 receiver built-in to receive the digital free air channels, installing a njoi box is also a good choice since those DVB-T2 decoders selling in the market has poor remote control and UI to use.

If Njoi offers channels as digital TV myFreeview, then Njoi is the best substitute over digital TV, especially RTM Sports, TV1 HD, TV2 HD and TV3 HD.
You could say that RTM Sports channel is the only one that makes digital TV myFreeview a unique selling point to those sports fans out there that doesn't subscribe to Astro's Sports pack and/or wish to enjoy sports content for free.

I heard that njoi will be terminated automatically if it's not used or switched on for some time. May I know how long does it take before Astro terminate it?

The account won't get terminated permanently.
It'll just deactivate, and you can reactivate it back by either send the SMS code appear on TV screen or call astro to activate.
Reactivation is free, but standard SMS charges may apply if you activate using SMS.
