I think MegaTV is the first cable TV in Malaysia.
MetroVision was the 4th free TV channel in Malaysia.

Yup. I think so.. Planning to subscribe to Mega TV but before I could do so, they close shop 😢 end, subscribe to astro 😊

MetroVision never heard before 😀

Back then, Metrovision was taken on Media Prima...thus become 8TV.

This seems to be the latest offer by Astro, to encourage more customers to use PVR box.
Their main intention is they want us to use their On Demand feature, where you connect your PVR to home internet (wifi or LAN cable), and then you can download and watch shows from there.
They just want to make sure to keep their brand to be relevant to us, with that On Demand feature.

You can subscribe to HD-PVR service by adding RM26.50/month on top of your subscription fees. Your mini packages has nothing gonna do with HD-PVR service, cuz both are two different things.
Once you subscribe to HD-PVR service, you are eligible to upgrade a new Astro PVR box to enjoy PVR functions and On Demand service (video-on-demand feature). And do ask Astro if there's any installation fee and contract extension, cuz usually, they'll issue you 24 months contract once you successfully upgraded to PVR box.

Even if you subscribed to HD-PVR service but you don't want to upgrade to PVR box due to whatever reasons (which means you want to continue using your existing HD box), you will still have to pay RM26.50/month for HD-PVR service as usual, even if you're not using PVR box and its features.

HD box that you're using now (I assume), does not have any built-in hard disk, so you can't record any programmes.

tq for detail explanation. so can we just opt for upgrade to hd of current service (like family pack and 2 mini pack) without getting hd-pvr? not sure how much will that be.

i heard for pvr recording have extra charges, already in the rm26.50?

Can. But you still got to pay RM26.50/month even you just want HD but without PVR. PVR recording fee are no longer being charged RM10.60/month separately, as it has been "merged" into HD-PVR service which includes both HD and PVR service at one price.

----
Before August 2016

HD service = RM26.50/month
PVR service = RM10.60/month

NOW: After August 2016

HD-PVR service = RM26.50/month

There's no more just "HD service" like what you used to know anymore. Since August 2016, Astro has combined both HD and PVR service fees into one single price of RM26.50/month, which is now known as "HD-PVR service". So like I said before, you can subscribe to HD-PVR service without getting PVR box (meaning you just only want HD, but don't want PVR).

You will still need to pay additional RM26.50/month for HD-PVR service even if you just want HD only, and you don't upgrade PVR box.
You will still need to pay additional RM26.50/month for HD-PVR service if you upgrade PVR box, and you can enjoy HD at the same time with PVR functions from your PVR box.

So on your Astro bill, it will stated there "HD-PVR service" of RM26.50/month, even if you use/don't use PVR box.

Therefore, regardless you subscribe to Mini package or not, you can still subscribe to HD-PVR service, because it is a 2 different things. Hope my explanation helps.

I though upgrade to PVR box now free.
They say during My Coffee Prince ads break.

Last time, me pay RM50 installation charge(cover with Super Pack).

Crunchyroll

Haha good old 90s😄😄😅😅

Metrovision is free TV channel lorh

Ooh it's become 8TV..
Was thinking its just new channel from Media Prima.. Didn't know its from rival company before they bought it over...

Wonder if Mega TV still operating now..
Sure it would give huge competition to astro 💪

Excluding Turner Classic Movies, everything else is exclusive on Astro.

Still cannot challenge astro...

tq sifu! very clear now.

went to astro to ask about upgrade. same as you said. rm26.50 for hd. hd pvr for customer >5 years and package >rm100 before gst.

they said astro telemarketer has promo of rm8.80 for hd service. for one year, then back to rm26.50 per month.

any telemarketer that anyone can recommend? pm me please.

You signal strength so weak for Tuner 2.

Btw, nothing new from astro.... unless keep entertain with one hd, ohk hd & tvn hd. Kbsw hd not layan bcoz no BM subtitle. Don't know why astro not put BM subtitle.

It depends on the TP options, though.

can increase HDD space?

No. Astro only offers 500GB hard disk space for any PVR boxes, which equals to 100 hours of HD content, or 290 hours of SD content.
