sweeann Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi all, I am interested to watch the Malaysian Astro Byond HD channels here in Bangkok. Actually, I am a Malaysian which got relocated to Bangkok recently, before the relocation, I already have the Astro Byond HD decoder and subscription in Malaysia. I have not terminated my subscription since my move to Bangkok. Anyway, now I brought along my Astro Byond HD decoder plus with my Astro HD smart card. Was wondering, what else do I need to re-connect my Astro Byond HD here in Bangkok to watch my Astro HD channels? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweeann Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi ... I am staying in a Condo, and I already got the approval from the building management to install the dish on the roof top. Actually I have tested it with a 75cm True Vision Dish, but I am only able to receive the SD channels, none of the HD channels are working. Now thinking of a way to make it work. Will a 120cm Dish with a universal Ku Band LNB work for all the HD channels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOnTheRoad Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Hi yes the 120cm dish will work u need a jonsa white dish not the black dish... As I stated earlier when it rains or heavy winds the HD will not be working it will work once the rain stops and dish is dry... I like the HD channels but it can be frustrating during this month as its heavy rain and i cant watch my favorite ESPN HD sometimes Are U using the beyond pvr too ?

Not too sure what is this 120cm Jonsa White Dish, is it just a offset dish with the size of 120cm? I saw from Jsat.tv website, they are offering a package using 1.65M for Astro B'yond HD, not too sure whether it will be better than our 1.2M dish. I am not using the PVR, just the normal Astro B'yond HD decoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
