Yup, Lot 10 has changed its Astro Satellite reception to that of Byond! Definitely a new dimension in watchng TV programmes!
And yup, on 21st July, the Astro Installers (2 guys) came with all the required parts and did their work...surprisingly very efficiently! They finished the changeover of Satellite Dishes (from the old light grey 60cm one to the new larger & darker grey(?)Byond 65cm one), new 2 lengths of co-axial cables from the new 2-output LNB of the Dish to the new Byond PVR module in our living room/hall and finally the setting up the whole system with everything running.

Lot 10 inmates were given a summary & quick run-through of how the PVR works, namely viewing as well as recording. Necessary documents were signed...RM150 flew into the Installer's hands...marking the start of a new Adventure! For these 2 Lot 10 inmates...haha!
Well, this upgrade has done lots to improve our viewing pleasure as well as no more worries about missing any programs or any part of any show which we might be watching at a certain time.
Yup, the PVR is really full of useful features! And, of course, the HD (High Definition) broadcasts really lessened our eye-strain a lot...and more importantly, they increased our "idiot box" enjoyment by a few notches!!
Well, all that did ACTUALLY come FREE! In Astro's current promotion. If not for our choice of a Byond PVR instead of the simple Byond box (w/o a built-in 500GB HDD), the changeover was truly completely FREE!
However, there was a RM150 installation fee for the PVR (previously costing RM300)...so a savings actually of RM150!
In addition, we had chosen to subscribe to a package now called "Super Pack 3"...@RM155/month excluding the 6% Govt Tax.
In view of the impending (confirmed actually) new charges for Astro subscriptions, it meant paying about RM50/month more but with all that was thrown into the package deal, it's really, really worth it! Believe me!!
Well, it's time to get back to our Byond and enjoy the HD broadcasts...simply beautiful!!
