any benefit or improvement using HDMI over old AV cable for NJOI ?

Wah so troublesome lor.

Astro Njoi new offering.

RM348 including installation.
Free prepaid worth RM 60.

So its about RM288 only

maybe until end of this month i contact you - but i'm using astro value pack RM141/month

Guys....You can purchase NJOI topup cards from Giftxie.com...but only RM 10 and RM 20...

Beats looking for a shop

Can just directly top up online...they send the softpin to you..

Just thought of sharing

New potential subscriber here. So, based on all the comments that I've read thus far:
1) the only way to get HDMI is to get a refurbished "BEYOND Astro Decoder"? No other way around this?
2) HDMI output not that much different anyway from SD, though much clearer than the standard TV aerial
3) Any other difference (other than the warranty and fee) between getting a refurbished decoder and a new one?

I jz got some news that njoi will hv free Chinese HD channel (CH 300) start from 1/2, is it true?

-.- The NJOI decoder with big green NJOI wording doesn't even have firmware update for enabling the HDMI.
Does astro expect consumers with this particular decoder to view 'HD' channel using YCbCr output?

just waiting until this sunday 1/2 ,see got HD channel or not for NJOI user.

Could it be your HDMI spoiled or maybe your refurnished decoder HDMI function now being disabled by Astro ?

If so, is there a possibility they are going to impose a charge $ for HD service soon and only then will they enable HDMI?

Maybe that's why the New Decoders HDMI port can't be enabled for now, unless pay for upcoming HD features?

Astro announced that there will be a new Chinese HD channel coming to NJOI platform starting from 1st February 2015. Astro Xi Yue HD will be made available to Astro users too at CH. 300. Basically, it's just recycling old content from other Chinese channels like Astro AEC, Astro Hua Hee Dai.

if really HD channel for NJOI user is better than none.. but don't said only for CNY only...

have you manage to get the setup done?
2 decoder sharing the same dish right?


If I plan to install 1 new set, and another one wired only, how much will it cost?

I'm planning on moving soon. Current house already got njoi. So, just plan to add one more.

I just worried will they ask us to pay to get HD service later? According to Wikipedia, 8TV and some of other channels will have HD service start from March or April, is it possible to get the channels in HD without paying single cent?

Hi all, I just found out my njoi player, got the big green njoi wording, hdmi enable by astro. And tested with hdmi cable connect to led tv is working. Showing 1080i. Just no contents is in HD.

Yes, I just tried it. HDMI works now!


It sure took astro forever to enable it....

Good news indeed. That means some HD channels are coming, just around the corner

i hope AEC HD and WLT HD will coming to NJOI

Channel 300 got HD plus Dolby surround , if you have home theatre system with optical input , just buy a optical cable to connect. Then you can enjoy the Dolby surround.
