Hmm why yours so weird..
1 HDMI & USB port is yes.. But no Audio / visual output??

Sounds more like Hypptv setup box

Made in Thailand??
Not made in Indonesia, by Samsung huh??
Yup. Nowadays the decoder is smaller size... Same like those CD player already 😁

Samsung one lor..
Nowadays where got produced in Korea.. All production in low cost countries like Indonesia or Vietnam 😊

The basic B.yond looks same like Njoi set.. Only thing is the remote control & decoder write B.yond or Njoi only 😀

Is your new Astro HD box looks like this?



If yes, then yeah, this shall be the latest Astro HD Zapper model.
This is the 3rd generation Astro B.yond HD box.

Now Astro is doing promotion to upgrade to free PVR and stand a chance to win Jackie Cheung concert tix. Should we upgrade or just maintain my normal byond box?

PVR is better as you can record one channel and watch the other

From 1 August 2016, HD and PVR service fee will be combined into a single RM26.50/month including GST. No more separate RM20 HD service fee (after that increased to RM26.50/month incl. GST) and RM10 PVR service fees like what you used to know since 2010.
So which means, you pay RM26.50/month and then you get both HD and PVR service. So once you have HD service, you'll get to enjoy HD channels corresponding to your package subscription, including Mini packages. Example if you subscribe to Learning pack, you get to watch HD channels from Learning pack as well.

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.

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.
