Newer installations for Astro PVR now connects only 1 satellite cable (no longer 2 cables).
Since Astro PVR was introduced, it requires 2 satellite cables to be connected from the satellite dish to the set top box. That arises new issues to some customers where laying additional cable are not possible due to some reasons (e.g. concealed cabling, wish not to drill wall to lay another cable, etc.) as well as high rise building customers that only 1 satellite port is available from the TV outlet socket.
If using your existing single cable is your only option, using a SatCR LNB is possible. It costs RM50 (excl. tax) for the installation fee.
But however, it appears that Astro has stop issuing dual LNB and SatCR to customers, hence only dCSS is being issued to newer installations.
The statement from Astro are as follows:

The statement from Astro are as follows:
We regret to inform that LNB and SatCR is no longer in our production. However, DCSS and Splitter will be provided for free of charge for standard installation type (surface cabling with 15 meter satellite cable) for PVR installation. Additional charges will be applied should the installation is require more than 15 meters of satellite cable or any other additional supporting device.
This applies to Astro PVR box installations as well as Astro Ultra box.
How Astro PVR works?
- You can pause live TV anytime you like, and play it when you feel like continue to watch again. However still, you are not able to fast-forward live TV channels, unless you have rewind it or you playback your recorded programmes (currently not available on Astro Ultra Box).
- Slow motion playback is possible by pressing "pause" button on your Astro remote control, then press the "Fast Forward" button and you control the slow motion speed by 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2. You can press "Play" to return normal playback speed (currently not available on Astro Ultra Box).
- After you keep on rewinding/pausing/fast-forwarding the live TV channels, and if you would like to watch the TV channel back to Live, press Stop and then "Watch Live".
- Your recorded programmes also records all multiple audio and subtitle language.
- If you've scheduled a programme recording using Series Link, make sure your PVR box is powered on (standby mode also possible) during your scheduled programme record time. If your Astro PVR box is powered off, it will search and record your missed programme on other time slots (repeats) whenever available. Read more here.
- Recorded programmes on your Astro PVR box is only watchable on your PVR box, and it is not transferrable to storage devices, computer or anywhere else.
- If you happen to replace a new Astro PVR box due to whatever reasons (software issues, damaged due to lightning, etc.), you are not able to transfer all your recorded programmes from your existing PVR box to a new PVR box.
