Try to look at the channel video properly, especially near the logo. You will notice some sort of blurring or sometime pixelation.

As if the channel doesnt have enough bitrate.

Same with channel 802, take a look on the arena HD logo.

I screen shot these two channels in full HD
First pic.
Look at the clothes, instead of seeing clothes' lines, it is blurry.
Now, notice the blue waves lines under "GO"
Seem like upscale from standard definition 480/576.

Second pic.
Notice the compression artifact on 'ASTRO' and "Sukan SEA" words.
When 802 available for viewing on the eve of SEA Games, I didn't see such artifact.

I am using 52" LED TV as monitor and your pics look perfectly fine on my PC.

Right click, save image as, open with some photo viewer, Fullscreen.
Much more easier to notice the artifacts.

css9028 , now you see why most of NJOI users aren't interested with the prepaid channels?

Lodge complaint? Consumer tribunal.......let just say it is just a waste of time....and move on. Think of the RM7 and time wasted on astro customer service as a lesson.

You are not old enough to appreciate it. for those of us who have lived with terrestial TV (you know the ones that had vacuum tube diodes and huge CRTs) this is crazy good quality. And you don't even have to tune it.. or adjust the aerial. This is actually in color (and HD at that) and it's free. Wow. smile.gif

I am old enough, when I was young, the first TV my parent bought home was a second hand black and white tv, no color.
Nothing wrong to have higher expectation.... laugh.gif

That's what is weird about people here.. when they pay a lot they don't have high expectations, but if it is free they expect a lot LOL smile.gif

tongue.gif hehe.......I don't like to pay for what I consider to be subpar service, do you?

This 'free' NJOI channel quality is an indicator of how is astro paid channel looking right now....

Let's say I only need local TV channels (TV3/7/8/9), do I need to keep reloading the prepaid card? Thanks.

Those channels you mentioned are free to view. No need to reload the prepaid......

RTM 2 = 182
TV3 = 183
TVi = 184

My friend give me used astro beyond decocder (pace),  but not woking/block  with my current Njoi simcard, anyone can help?

Every ASTRO SIM card is linked to its own decoder.

You will need to go to ASTRO service center and re-link your NJOI SIM card serial to your astro byond decoder.

*Might be charged
