astral Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Is this the new HD Astro box, or one of the old SD versions? The latter make great door stops!! Like the old True boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsat Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) The latter make great door stops!! Like the old True boxes. We just gave a pile of them away last week .. the old Phillips Astro boxes that is. Edited July 7, 2012 by jsat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantFan Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Astro probably going to HD box only soon as UBC - True did a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsat Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Astro probably going to HD box only soon as UBC - True did a couple of months ago. Went HD over 18 months ago .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Astro probably going to HD box only soon as UBC - True did a couple of months ago. As Jsat says, Astro has had HD for over 18 months, actually two years.... since I first subscribed... There are now 19 HD channels and they are now advertising one being broad cast in 3 D... leap years ahead.... Better range of programing choices..... better image and sound quality too.... ..... and you don't need to be connected to the cable system.... and it does not fade with a passing cloud as some would suggest... at least in the southern part of Thailand... it depends on the size of satellite dish you have.... that will depend on your area.... on Samui, I use a 90 cm dish... in BKK you'll need a larger one....

LivinLOS Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Where is the line in Thailand where the footprint fades.. I am in CM and various installers have told me your cannot get astro, but if your getting it with a small dish in BKK then would think a 6 ft dish up here might catch it no ???

Somtamnication Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 JSAT. One ad on your page says 14k and the other 33k for Astro. Which is current? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsat Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) JSAT. One ad on your page says 14k and the other 33k for Astro. Which is current? they are both current but for the astro hd set top box, dish, lnb, cabling, installation 33k + subscription - the local astro provider of these boxes thinks they are made of gold. Feel free to email us on [email protected] or ring us direct on 02.714.3551 Edited October 11, 2012 by jsat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
