Astro PVR in Phuket?

[Simon in Phuket]

Hi, I am looking to get Astro PVR and HD in Phuket.

My main reasons for this is getting the EPL and cricket, with the ability to be able to record and watch at more reasonable hours.

I understand you can get normal Astro frpm Phuket-Satellite, but they say they can not do PVR?

I am trying to understand why, and how to solve the problem...

Has anyone come across this and found a solution? If I get a subscription in Malaysia from a friend can they just bring the box and plug it into a satelite here and it will work?

Would really like to solve this before the SA V Aus cricket starts next week!

Cheers

Simon

I have had Astro for years, but only SD and no PVR. Last year, I was asked if I wanted to go to HD but I was happy with my old CRT TV so said no. I would have had to change my box and card. It might be that PVR requires a special box that the agent doesn't have.

If you have someone in Malaysia that will register you and get you the correct box / card, go for it.
