Because Njoi is a no-monthly-commitment, freemium satellite TV service, means you pay nothing to them monthly to enjoy selected free channels.
And because you're on that Njoi platform, they would mainly offer you SD quality to encourage you to convert to Astro subscription which has HD and more channels. 

In simple words: You want this channel in HD? We offer Starter Pack with a monthly fees of RM___/month and u can enjoy way more channels, also in HD.
That's why they won't simply entertain and materialise every Njoi customer's requests so easily, so that they'll have a better reason to upsell their latest Astro package offerings to you.
Of course Astro would love customers to have monthly commitment, contracts and so on, as this can somehow "guarantee" and "stabilise" their income/revenue in the long run.

In a "nicer words" kind of explanation
"That's a good idea. We've forwarded your feedback to our relevant department for future consideration."

Meanwhile for legacy Astro/Njoi boxes....

Translation:
Your Njoi box is unable to support Fox Sports CH835-837, Eurosport CH840 (starting 16 Nov), and Astro SuperSports CH831-834 (starting 30 Nov).
Please log on to goshop.my/z/36 to purchase the HD box and continue enjoy the service in HD.


Translation:
"You are unable to access to Astro First CH480 as you are using the old model of Astro decoder."

At least we can see some "obvious progress" of the end of Astro legacy box 

And erm, Njoi users are encouraged to spend money on them monthly, cuz they are desperate for revenue.

Its so bloody obvious how Astro is (ill) treating NJOI customers. Yes we are sort of - non paying customers majority.
But we are still a customer.

So happen few days ago I wanted to try a new channel and I stumbled upon Discovery channel.
So I went into CH 200 and wanted to try the free preview. Its approved even (via whatsapp).
So i inquired to ASS-tro on why their free preview does not work. Here is my enquiry.
"Recently I wanted to try a free preview for Discovery Asia channel however I couldn't. To add things , the message "Sila tonton Pek Discovery Asia di TV anda selepas *10 minit.*" is very misleading. If I waited after 10mins then my trial period will end and I won't get to watch at all. Are you guys sincere in giving free preview? to me its a deciding factor whether I should subscribe to that channel."

And this is their lame and annoying reply.



Come on, ASS-tro. Its just only 10 mins , not 1 day even. But weirdly, previously I was able to get free preview on other channels.
In the end I gotten fedup, I decided not to subscribe to their Discovery channel. Because their mentality is - No free watching , if you pay, then yes .

And this is why some turn to Android Box. Everything also want to calculate.

Today 30th November.
Out of sudden just now at 8pm when I turn on my Astro decoder (Its originallly from Beyond),

at first it was showing "No information".

Then I cycle power off and on the power adapter.
The red light just flash on and off.
Press power button on decoder , on the remote also no reaction on the Decoder.
Nothing on the TV.

Does that mean my Decoder has just died? No lightning strike whatsoever.
But before its death, i notice each time I watch my Astro - it will randomly suddenly "Service currently not available" even though on sunny day or no rain at all .

Edit: I found some links for those can repair the decoder. I dont wanna spend RM 300+ just to change a brand new decoder. No no

i notice each time I watch my Astro - it will randomly suddenly "Service currently not available" even though on sunny day or no rain at all.

how is it with njoi? thinking to subscribe for my dad who love to watch soccer match...any review?

Do note that for Njoi, this 2 sports channels are part of the listing of free TV channels, which are eGG Network (ch800) and Astro Arena SD (ch801).

If Premier League matches is your must-have, then you can go for Premier League pack for RM45 per month.
Top up some credit into the account once you got your set-top-box, and then you can subscribe to it on CH 200.

PL Pack (also means Premier League Pack) consists of CH 811, 812 and 813 only. The rest all don't have.

You can also opt for Sports Mega Pack, which includes more sports channels for RM65 per month.
   

Tip: For Njoi users, the user interface language will be in Malay by default upon launching CH 200.
Press the "Audio/Subtitle" button on remote control to switch between Malay/English language.
