anyway there must be a reason why astro supersport is in the sports package? it is 2 cater 4 the minorities like you who hate the constant EPL saga.

lolz! its more like mobile telecommunication needs less capital 2 open up compare with broadband and astro. you see how easy it is 4 the tauke 2 open U mobile.

omg, if u only knew

i dont know and i am not interested 2 know...4 me the best business is 2 do business in china legal or illegal

this happen once to me when i going to watch our west ham match.. it is not only happen for 812.. but almost all the channels.. probably same experience with kobe.. missed the action for 15-20 minutes..

And maybe what Duke Red friend told him is true. my dad in law Astro decoder is the NEW one.. heh

The surprising thing is that it was ASTRO themselves that told me that! My decoder's power unit was fried (that's what they told me anyway) and they asked if I wanted to repair the unit or get a new decoder. I said might as well get a new one given mine is so old. They then told me that if I had the old one, I should keep it because it's better than the new one. What's the point of having a new one then ah?

Isn't the new one the one that comes with recording and playback functions? Dad told me it cost a bomb, so didn't even think of switching.

No la, That one is Astro Max. The old decoder is black color looks and big. The new one is silver color and smaller.

But for example, they said the old bulky PS2 is better than the slim one. Maybe because the slimmer device, their life span is short?

I've heard that too. I have the old bulky PS2 and I must say, it does 'tahan lasak'! Still works perfectly fine with no servicing or repairs whatsoever.

Slimmer PS2 has heating issues. My fat one is still going strong after like what, seven years?

So the old saying of "bigger is better" still holds true? Sorry to go OT but it makes you wonder why they made handphones so small these days, you need a microscope to read messaged.

The newer decoder has actually been working better for me. The reception's better on the small decoder but it could be coincidence. My signal on the old decoder has always been in the mid sixties but now with the new one, it's in the seventies. And I could point at the decoder from further away with the newer decoder.

do u ever thinking to sell it?? i would become more then interested to get it..

Not at this point mate. Not until I can afford a PS 3

haha.. just let me know when the time has come.. ;-)

There are a bunch of them on sale in the Garage Sales section. Don't think many will want to part with their Playstations, even if it means it only being left to rust in a drawer. I've still got my PSX as well (believe it or not it's still working, tried playing the old Street Fighter Alpha 3 a week back) and I certainly won't be parting with any of my consoles. Sentimental value la brother. I spent a lot of my youth with it you know.

I think you guys on a sesat d... This is a thread about condemning how bad Astro is la...

move a few feet nearer to change channel lahhhhhhhhhhhhh
you said u can run for 60mins without stopping at gym... but a few feet ...

called the CS ? ask them for explanation...

They are 3 generations of the ASTRO decoders.

The first one (older ASTRO decoders) were made by Philips.

Then ASTRO decoders were made by Nokia.

Both models above are alike, all black colour.

Latest one.. smaller decoder, grey black colour, is made by THOMPSON.

Reason on why older ones were better.. it's like that la in IT. Older computers were reliable and good, newer ones tend to be more cheaper in manufacturing and also they try to improve it's performance/specs and sacrifice the reliability aspect la.

I use to love Malaysia Liga Dunhill back in 80's and 90's. We use to have quality players and fantastic piece of game. But now that has turn into some horrible gameplays here..

All because of $$$$$$$

where u from bro? seems like u reply in a wrong thread..
