Petrol station one is different. And it is not for TV ya...

Most of petrol stations uses C band for data related services (or satellite broadband), such as credit card payments and so on. They use satellite broadband so that they don't have to depend on Internet connection like ADSL or Fibre, and plus they don't need high speed internet for that. As long it is fast enough to transfer data, then it's good enough already, and satellite broadband can do the job. If they use the usual Internet like TM streamyx or Unifi, and if ISP network is down, it will be a trouble. Satellite broadband are less likely to have service disruption unlike what you experience on Streamyx or Unifi. And yes, even heavy rains, it still can be used because it's C band.... 

I think the dish size used at petrol station is 120cm. If use 90cm, signal will be weak or no signal because Measat 3 and 3a output power is just "strong enough". 

Let's hope that upcoming Measat 2a satellite can be even stronger than Measat 3 and 3a transmission output power for C band.

Measat expects that it will launch in Q4 2018, but it is subject to change. It all depends on Measat.

Do you notice that Disney XD HD sometime ada baris hitam dekat channel tu
Bila tengok Pokemon Black&White lagi nampak dia punya baris tu..
Ataupun tu "interlace"..

Yelahkan.. bila fikir balik prebiu sampai 31 Januari 2017...
Lepastu diorang nak buat pakej ala-carte baru pulak
Jangan pulak buat pakej Lifetime HD harga RM5.30 sudahla
Boo HD pun harga RM6.35..

Apa yang perlu dibuat astro revise balik harga Nilai Pack hanya RM60 sebulan dah bagus. Family Pack harga RM10.00 sebulan

It is weird that my friend and my sets are still available to view this channel.

Oh, did you sign up for the preview earlier and then call up for cancellation?
I don't see boo channel being charged to my recent bill.

Here you go, BTW, seems like GO Shop is a money spinner!

Per mentioned by another member, Sony ONE changed their logo, the SG feed does not have the HD alphabets on the logo.

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.

which will come FOC but with  a 2 year contract

Pro-rate RM500 on the remaining 2 years contract.

I got the info about this.

Do note that the article above is published on 2014. If you would say 2016, I would assume that more than 90% subscribers are already using B.yond STB.

Not enough satellite bandwidth capacity? Measat 3b has as much as 48 Ku band transponders. It is a bogus if you say Astro do not have enough satellite capacity.

It is obvious to say that Astro is "use less while customer pay more". They can choose to offer a lot of HD channels, but they take their sweet time, slowly release HD channels. Why? Monopoly. There's no reason for them to quickly pushing more HD channels because there's no other pay TV competitors that could provide "good and well known channels among pay channels industry" as Astro.

I would say, Measat and Astro is a crony.

Astro just like Maxis which the different company but provide different service but same boss

Then for what astro to use the Measat 3b all 18 Ku band transponder they said
All 48 Ku band just useless since Dec 2014 where astro launch only 8 HD channel which good but little. At that time Astro also increase HD subscribe from RM20 to RM25. Yeah i read on wikipedia the launch of Measat 3b will allow Astro to provide more than 100 HD channel but what happen now. Right now about 55 HD channel only. Very enjoy their place right now. Already 2016 and almost 2 years 15 years lifespan of Measat 3b which close in maybe 2029 or 2030. At that time maybe other company already challenge Astro

Just hope maybe in 2017 or atleast 2020 already have competion which is good for customer. When that time happen Astro kaw kaw to offer good HD channel and pricing. Just what Maxis did when lose more than 1 million customer
But yeah new company but can they offer good channel like Astro such as AXN HD, FOX HD. And don't forget Astro don't care with kids channel to upgrade to HD. I like to watch some cartoon in BM dub like The Amazing World of Gumball, Adventure Time and other. And still no Cartoon Network HD

Internet in Malaysia already have but fixed line internet still monopoly by TM. Also heard rumour that TM want to merge with Astro
TM semua mahu sailang lepas ni apa lagi

Previously when Measat 3b haven't launch on Sept 2014, indeed the satellite bandwidth capacity is full on Measat 3 and Measat 3a. But now Measat 3b is already operational and Astro is using it, but Astro did not quickly roll out more HD channels as you expected. They take their sweet time to release HD channels, and even introduces some stupid a la carte channels instead of included in existing packages like Boo HD for RM6.35/month so that they can earn profit.

Currently only Astro and Transvision, one of Indonesian pay TV is utilising Measat 3b. So far no any pay TV or TV stations interested to rent on Measat 3b Ku band satellite transponders, so the rest of transponders is inactive for now.

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