I BOUGHT a new car at the end of 2001 and received a free decoder from Astro. 

The car salesman told me that I have to maintain my account for at least 12 months before I can terminate my service. When I received the first bill, the terms and conditions also stated the same thing, that is customers who terminate their account before two years have to pay RM500.
