QUOTE(sg999 @ Nov 25 2009, 10:58 PM) the code must be see by public the concept is like this they now divide to 2 package one is public another is home for public..like bank, mamak, restoran...their price is higher.. astro will have "worker" go check it and copy down the code and verify see izit subsribe public package or home package if use home package,then they direct cut it and ask them use public package just that conclusion: LAMA and RUBBISH system[COLOR=red]
thanks. but if its 2 packages only, isn't it easier to divide as such : Home - NO codes Public - Got codes Liddat straightaway can spot ler, no need call opis and verify

its true some of the old shows are truly fun n thrilling, unmatched by nowadays those bad 'young faces' or 'just-a-pretty-face-with-shitty-acting-skills' or ugly 'copy-cat-storyline-copy-from-korean/jap/eng-titles'
remember those really good ones like TVB's threshold of an era? or those Magyver, Airwolf or those smurfs? list goes on...
theres a market for sure, but dun put ur hopes on ash-throw la, jz go search somewhere in the www.iloveonlinestreaming.com then can find edi
