You will need to pay the amount of RM400++ during installation, it is a one time payment.

400++, why so high?

their website writes "Recommended Retail Price *RM285" and I don´t need any installation.

Sorry mine is already include all sort of installation fees and everything.

RM385 including installation and activation.
You can keep the dish.

Only the installer can activate the smartcard.

What is the cost/price if I just ended my Astro Beyond HD and want NJOI ?

It is just a simple account change on Astro-NJOI end or does the dish needs to be adjusted ? or a new card is needed ? or installer need to come and key in some special codes ?

Thanks.

Dish doesnt need to be adjusted but the decoder must be changed to NJOI decoder.

Are you sure ? From what I read in NJOI website and some forum post, the Astro Beyond decoder can be used. Anyone can confirm this ?

Yeah I use Astro Byond PVR for my NJOI.

any subscription (any decoder) can downgrade to NJOI...just ask them.

Just talked to Astro to find out more about the conversion to NJOI.

So my Beyond HD decoder, remote and dish is free when I subscribe to Astro. As confirm by Astro, I own it and can do whatever I want once the subscription ends.

But if I were to convert to NJOI, I have to pay RM 3++ because in-directly, Astro is selling the equipment above to me.

So the equipment is free if I am an Astro customer.

But if I convert to NJOI, the equipment is sold to me, hence the high price for the conversion.

In conclusion, the RM 99 conversion does not exist or is not available now.

I think I will just skip this conversion since I am only looking at Channel 321.


The breakdown for anyone with Astro monthly subscription to change to NJOI is as below :

RM 199 for conversion fee.
RM 228 for the current Astro decoder set.
6% GST

Total : RM 452.62.

Wise option is to apply for a new NJOI account since it is cheaper and with 12 month warranty on the refurbished unit. Refurbished unit consist of decoder, remote and dish that is with 12 months warranty. They will not use your old dish.

Update : I was told by NJOI telemarketer to return the Astro Beyond HD, PSU and remote back to Astro Customer service if I do not want any problems in the future if I were to resubscribe to Astro monthly subscription. The dish they do not need it back.

You got uncle in astro mah .. so different scenario ler.

Haha. But isnt everyone get the same? I thought my uncle was just helping me to sign up only. What I need to do is just to call him and say I want bla bla bla...
Easy and fast.

Hello,

Any recommendation for the installer near Air Itam, Penang? Many thanks!

Currently, I have the Astro paid subscription.

Regards,

This is what Astro reply on the conversion:

"For conversion from normal account to NJOI, you will have to pay conversion fee of RM210.95 + RM228, settle all outstanding and current charge in the account and the account must not be bound with any contract any longer."

Too bad. Then... maybe you can ask my uncle to do that for you?

Thanks for the offer ! But since my Astro has been disconnected yesterday, I will leave NJOI out for now.
Please do ask if your uncle can do the downgrade for free and let him know mine is inactive as of yesterday.
If too much hassle, then no problem.. thanks.

I think you whatsapp him better. Because I don't see him everyday. His phone number: -deleted-
