I heard this new card give security to Astro only…to prevent cloning that smart card. Previous one, ppl clone in and use to watch different channels on 2 or 3 tv. Using 1 satelite dish, 2 or 3 decoders and only pay to one account. hehehe..thats what i heard…no diferent to us maaa..

Just change the new one. Once change liao the old card will not be able to use liao.

The reason why they do this is because there are quite a number of fake Astro cards out there. Once this batch has been implemented, those who has been using the fake ones would not be able to use the service for free liao.

This new gold card is harder to replicate i guess compare to the one ones.

Weilian,
Oh, do we really have to do that?

Steve,
Not surprisingly. Nothing new at all - we have replaced the pay TV smart card a couple of times over the years already, right?

> Have you received the new security-enhanced and packed with features Astro smart card?

Features? What features? I got mine, installed it, it worked, nothing new at all.

Oh that reminds me that I haven’t sent a SMS to Astro to confirm receipt of the new card.
