Standard lar for astro..
Bawah RM100 bukan pelanggan setia astro. Mesti yang langgan Family atau Value pack.

Pelanggan bayar RM100 ini premium. Kalau caj nanti. Contoh: Bayar RM155/bulan tambah bayar orang astro dah RM208. Loyal customer RM100 kena ada keistimewaan.

Conclusion: Pelanggan bayar lebih RM100 kena tipu sebab bayar mahal setiap bulan..

Yes. This is how Astro show their "loyalty" to customers who pay more money (RM100/month), or known as "premium customer" for them.

In a nutshell, customers that pays less, got to pay RM53 each time when installer visit customer premises, regardless of any reasons (e.g. solve technical issue). So, better take good care of your Astro if you don't want to pay such money.

For sure, customers that pays more (RM100/month and above) will feel dissatisfied if they got to pay RM53 whenever they experience technical difficulties. It will be unfair for them.

And don't forget the fact that, replace a new Astro box for whatever reasons (even kena thunder stroke) will restart your contract. Astro ain't show any mercy on you for that, unless your case is special enough for them to put your case an exception.

In other words this is same like corruption! You pay more , you will get work done free! Shameful!

well in my case , they will find a way to charge you when there is technical difficulties ... they said you need to pay this and this .. i told them wth ! .. they said the wiring cable got problem , plus you need this signal booster due to your signal kindda low ... wtf !

Seriously it's not logic at all...
Better donate the TV to underprivileged people

Not exactly like this... As long they assign installer to your premise, RM53 will be charged on your bill right away, regardless of small issue or big issue. After that, replace whatever things are charged separately.

Signal low? Hmm... Signal booster for Astro (satellite TV) doesn't function like those boosters used for analogue terrestrial TV. It is used only if your cable is very long (such as exceed 100 meters from Astro dish to your Astro box) or you're using signal splitter. When signal is low, dish realignment is required. If realignment has been done and able to get high signal readings from "satellite finder (or known as satfinder" (a small machine that display satellite signals readings when aligning satellite dish) but when connect to Astro box, signal readings is way lower, then it is likely that something wrong with the cable. Try replace entire satelite cable if you can.

well my cable very long due to move the astro box into a room from the living hall ( on the same level ) , i guess thats the reason why the signal kindda low , after install those booster , it seems better then before ..

This is the one of the reason that most customer switch from astro to TM Unifi with Hypptv.
As I compare from my friend (TM Hypptv and my one astro), I also realize that Hypptv is better video quality than astro (even the channel is not HD channels)

astro , with fat profit but at the same time so many people cursing u , why not give HD services for free? charging people rm20 for HD every month is nonsense given the poor service delivered!

All of this are because of monopoly business, being the one and only active satellite pay TV in Malaysia.
Meaning that they can do and offer whatever services and pricing as they wish. So, they can have "less in expenditure, more in profit".

2nd with this.

The latest issue regarding EPF advert really pisses me off with Astro. Paying them for what, more advertisements that they can shove off onto our eyes?

Just emailed them about the advert. Now considering to terminate the service really. Bloody greedy i'd say

PQ of local channels on Hyppotv with 8mbps is much better then astro's SD ! Really astro's PQ is not worth the high fees ! RM20 for HD,and their HD is also far beyond satisfactory!Maybe its the MPEG2 format! Mediacorp HD 5, is much more sharper and crispier!Finally I am down to just family HD,most likely next year my area will be Unified,then its a big goodbye to this AssTro

TM should show more balls by bidding for some sporting rights...with Unifi as its weapon, getting sports right will make Astro shivers!

It's all about the cost of the sports rights...
Only astro willing to pay such high price..

they should , hopefully one day

One day when Astro is forget most of younger generation. Who want to pay for SD MPEG2 crappy channel. Many will move to streaming service that support Smart TV or Chromecast.

With almost RM150/month we already can get so much from video streaming content. No need stb or satellite dish. All just plug & play from the internet.

im rarely watching astro .. the most sports channel especially when there is live event such as motogp , world superbike & formula 1 ... others , my mum love to watch her chinese channels ( even though a malay family ) due to she can comunicate and understand mandarin ... she told me do not terminate her astro

currently im watching streaming content via western digital media player ... netflix etc ... download HD movies via torrent

I thought Discovery Asia has been replaced by Discovery channel.
So what's the difference of Discovery Channel(551) and Discovery Asia(571)?

Discovery channel 551(SD) have the best documentary show while Discovery Asia 571(HD) take some show in 551 to be made available in 571 (HD).

Whatever, astro is getting more boring. No Animal Planet HD, Discovery Science HD & Nat Geo Wild HD.
