Recently, I watched MTV on astro and have the asterisk next to the word MTV as it represents whether your channels are beamed through the MEASAT 3. But what put me to my last nerves is, the same old problem still occurs. It still appears Services Currently Not Available even it's not raining. What's ur opinion about this? Is it my decoder's problem or M3's problem?

afaik, its not measat problem. its a problem with the size of the satelite dish. if put a bigger dish, the problem might be solved. that's y u see shell station the satelite dish so big

another reason ppl say is that the wavelength of the transmission is affected by rain. this one i dun really understand. but u can't do much about this anyway.

conclusion, its still an astro.

nanti the sun shine on it then maybe will terbakar, then your astro dish also on fire, haha

there is no solution.. it's still astro's problem... everyone also complaining about it.. astro not geng enuff act like very geng like that go put in maesat 3 and now cause havoc and they say it's our fault and stuff....

yep same with me ..

the solution ? i took out the simcard , then turn on ... then it will get the signal from measat2 again ... now problem solved.

Thanks for your opinion/answer.
i will try it myself this evening.
Hopefully everything will be fine, since tonight the new episode of CSI will be air on AXN:)

that if u'r lucky.... if not u'll hv to call Astro and ask for the technical people to come... and they will ask u to pay 50 for it.... and later they will check u'r setup... if unluck u'll hear stuffs like ' ur cable not compatible' or 'ur motherboard fried'

expect to pay more then....

good luck

i disconnected the cable from the decoder, and i connected and tightened it back again.

and it solve my problem. :-)

what ,, MTV ?????

i know!! i was watching this really good korean movie the other day, and all of the sudden Astro went blank!

It's a good time to write to CAP.

I have the same problem too! Except that is happens occassionally (sometimes daily) after midnight. The service then becomes available again when I switch on in the morning at 6.30am. It has been happening for the past 2 months. Complained to Astro but they are only interested in sending a technician over which cost rm50. I told them (in writing) that this problem is their responsibility and that they should rectify it. If astro fails to do so, I will NOT pay for the subscription fee and will proceed to CANCEL my astro services. I know if only me cancel there will be no effect but if everyone do it. just think of the effect. So anybody reading pls do not let any company bully you or con you. No service we cancel lah. You want my money, come and get it!

same with me here. Even during great weather certain channels can just blank out with "Services not available".
