Usually, Astro installer should change the satellite dish when they upgrade customer's set-top-box to B.yond. If they don't, then it is more likely that they are lazy to do so.

As for the RG6 cable (satellite cable), the installer usually won't change it unless if the condition of the cable is not so good or you request/tell them to do so. RG6 cable can last quite long and won't easily get damaged unless it is damaged by user.

Older Astro satellite dish (silver) are 55cm (capital letter "ASTRO" logo) and 60cm (lower case "astro" logo). Black B.yond dish is 65cm. Bigger satellite dish size, for sure the better reception it is.

Well like for my friend case, astro didn't supply the dish...
The installer ask my friends just b.yond STB change okay not.. He said "no way".. So installer ask for few days time to "nego" back with astro.. Later all complete Set given (including New black dish & Cable)

Astro on Demand is now available to NJOI customers

The installer changed the dish to a black dish. I suspect your installer must have kept the new dish.... for resale?

My HDMI is connected directly to my smart TV (Philips). I have rebooted the B.yond box, tried other HDMI ports, different cables (including older HDMI cables that don’t support ARC – 1.1?) and the results are the same.

There is no sound or error message. The channel guide will flash for a moment and the screen will go blank. Then, my smart TV will display “No signal” but this is a message from the smart TV and not from the B.yond STB. It is the same message if I switch to another HDMI port that has nothing connected to it, so it means the B.yond STB has suddenly stopped both audio and video feeds into the HDMI port after the brief flash of the channel guide.

Non-HD channels work perfectly normal. This problem only occurs when I change to HD channels. And when I change back to non-HD channels, the signal comes back and everything works as it should.

Reverting to RCA connection is absolutely rubbish because I will go back to SD. If I use HDMI, I will get at least 720p. However, out of curiosity, I tried running on RCA yesterday and changed to HD channels. Surprises, surprises, I can watch HD channels as normal using RCA connections. But at the SD resolutions…..

So, there may be some truth to what the staff at MV Astro Centre said - he/she did appear to have checked for their internal memos before telling me so. He/She also said this is a known problem with the new generation of STBs and that Samsung smart TVs can resolve the conflict by disabling the MHL feature – unfortunately, I can’t find this on my Philips smart TV to disable (I did try various Smartlink settings)

So the moral of the story is dont use smart TV with astro

Oh they knew and sold the services to you? Thats cheating, and that warrants a complain to MMC for giving low standard services which do not meet with latest equipments May I ask what is yr HDMI version?
