Yes. Satellite TV can be interesting. If you like to feel the challenge to use parabolic dish to receive foreign channels from other satellites, then this is something you can "play" and learn to try it out. Because compared to Astro and IPTV, it is just.... TV channels from the provider.

Don't get me wrong. I am not encouraging people to cancel Astro and watch foreign TV channels from other satellites. Also another thing to remind that, it is somehow not legal under Malaysian law, especially West Malaysia unless you got the permission from government such as TV station company like RTM, Media Prima and Astro. If you stay at rural areas, people usually don't bother because not all of them can afford to subscribe Astro also, so there are minorities of people uses parabolic dish to receive foreign channels such as channels from China. For urban city areas, you can do it also, but you need to pandai pandai la, hide the parabolic dish from obvious view and make sure your neighbours won't get jealous that you can watch TV channels for free, and end up file a complaint to MCMC (Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission) or the police. 

Too bad most of us staying in urban areas..
And well neighbours are not in talking term.. Well got some previous unsolved issues...
If I were to put the parabolic dish, confirm they would report..

That depends on your neighbours in your neighbourhood, because not every neighbours are so busy body like this.
Because, you using a parabolic dish is none of their business, unless your neighbours are jealous.

If can, hide it from obvious view such as at the back of the house, balcony, rooftop or something. As long is not easily spotted at the main road of your residential area, then it should be fine.

Yup, it's depends on individuals neighborhood..
Some are okay..
Best is those kampung areas or those far far away from people.. No disturbances...

Does astro pvr comes with hard disk inside?
Or need to purchase it separately ?

PVR decoder has a built-in 500GB hard disk, allowing you to record up to 100 hours of HD programmes or 290 hours of SD programmes.

Where Animax HD huh astro...

With removal of ZEE, introduction of TARA HD and upgrade of LIFETIME to LIFETIME HD, I think Astro is indirectly forcing people to upgrade their legacy decoders to BYOND set top box.

Mmmm... It features Singapore "lion city" during ads eh...

On Astro, it shows certain parts of Kuala Lumpur metropolitan city during Go Shop ad.

Thanks for the pictures, really appreciate it. 

i have no more contract. but i still subscribe to astro because i want to watch tvb old drama. not new one but old one. haha

Anyone notice that FYI HD(CH736) have downgrade to SD quality

True. Won't change unless got some competition..
Then we can expect changes..

Another temporary event channel eGG PLUS(CH806)and eGG PLUS HD(CH807). Look like Astro very focus on eSport game
Btw this 11 December 2016 astro will upgrade they system. This have mention by Qash-M.
I hope the new upgrade is price package and bug fix on PVR stb. Hmm eGG PLUS SD channel in 16:9 quality but yeah still crappy as usual

New customer still subscribe Astro because some of them maybe just want to watch Live Sport,Malay drama,Korean other. Streaming service still lack with new content.

Just like iflix good but still not update their show and not even in HD quality
Internet pricing also will be the issue. Fixed line internet still expensive. New speed upgrade by TM only just up the speed but price still same. What change? Only speed je
What TM should did is decrease the price also. Some of them don't need new faster speed but lower price still good

Astro what good? Only some genre. Astro don't even have atleast one music video HD channel. Some chinese show on theyy in-house channel.
Astro also don't even have japanese entertainment channel in HD quality
Astro offer good for nothing useless repeat channel and more advertisement
With more ads Astro should reduce the price. Nothing good HD channel to offer. Better just be Astro one time payment and watch what you want with more ads after 5-10 minute show/drama

Just like shown by the figure posted previously..
45% are non astro the actual could be higher..

lepaking at friends house.. saw the hindi movie shingam returns

seems Tara HD free previews ends on 15 Dec 2016

Fox Action Movies HD (CH434) is showing Transporter 2 now
My son asked me to pack instead of going out for lunch together
I shud have keep quiet on new channel instead of sharing info with my family

Hahaha some are really glued to the TV since the Fox Movie channels is open up.. Lucky not so long.. If not die lor.
So hard to go out for anything also

I think must "locked" the channel asap..

Tak silap ada parental control
Tekan>Home>Preference>Parental Control

ooh it's under Preference..

I only go see signal there. STB diagnostic      others I don't know

Astro should abolish HD service fee. Still want charge expensive for little best original HD channel. More than 20 HD channel are Astro in-house
Look at TM HyppTV can purchase one channel and not charge HD fee. But yeah now TM want more money by bundle UniFi with HyppTV pack
Both Astro and TM just want money only. Astro should give more original HD channel than their in-house boring channel instead

And please move to MPEG4 for better viewing experience rather than crappy SD channel with MPEG2
Astro OD most SD content i check just like their using MPEG4 for most SD channel on OD. And i a bit surprise by Disney Junior on Demand HD
Atleast give la one or two HD channel on Kids Pack. Kids Pack still don't have HD channel. Please give Cartoon Network HD. I wait more than 4 years but still don't add that channel
Maybe if Astro want to offer OD their should move atleast SD 16:9 MPEG4 picture quality for better viewing.

Astro should focus on offering more HD channel than on-demand service. Not all Astro TV subscribers have Wi-Fi at home. Subcribe Astro but want to watch Arrow also don't have. Only TV3 show that on tv. Please la Astro give us WarnerTV HD. I want to watch new Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and other
Just feel tak guna with Astro. Want to offer OD but Astro not offer unlimited internet to access OD

I hope Astro don't just focus on new OD service that need Wi-Fi at home to use. Astro should thinking customers in kampung area that don't have internet. Thats why them subscribe Astro! For what? TV channel!! Not OD with need Wi-Fi!
Feel regret la offer OD but not all have internet access Astro!!
We just need cheap price with more HD channels to offer. Seriously, offer OD that need internet on Astro huh
Just offer more good HD channel with cheap price already enough!
