QUOTE(hypercore @ Oct 8 2009, 11:36 AM) What happen to the multiplex view mode? The one where you can preview all channels on 1 channel and select that channel and go to that channel....Astro took it off....Astro is really a "Malaysia Bodoh" company for overcharging its customers and taking out that service!!!! Malaysian Bodoh lah, not Asstro. Asstro making profits! |

QUOTE(robertngo @ Oct 8 2009, 04:03 PM) the sport channel really is cost increase the deal they just sign to broadcast EPL cost up to RM 800 million, EPL can generate income with gila Football fans. HD? Not sure if got that many gila HD fans and more than the makan bola, tidur bola fans. Moveover, HD fans already dl their poison.in contrast they are only spending RM 200 million for the HD upgrade project this year. |

QUOTE(jonathan82 @ Oct 9 2009, 11:14 AM) even EPL license cost increase, asss-throw shouldn't charged the cost to end user like us, asss-throw already over charged us. They are the monopoly business, tats y they can simply charge. its either u take it or leave it, u have no choice unless u only watch TV1, 2, 3, 7 and 8 (which already sold their broadcast right to asss-throw too). when there is a change in gomen then only ASSTRO will have no choice but to go digital or lose out to the competition. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(Boat Collector @ Oct 31 2009, 04:23 AM) BTW, I don't work for Astro, I just used to do research on the company many years ago.. Many years ago most homes in my neighborhood don't have HD enabled TV. 10 years ago most electrical shops near kampong don't carry LCD wide screen TV, today you can find them carrying these things.Look at how the mobile phone network is open up. There is healthy competition among the providers and the Rakyat can enjoy low talk time and sms rates. Everybody carries a hand phones. Kids and maids also have one. To me content and price is the main driver. If asstro have no competitor then there is no reason to for it to provide either one or both. With the monopoly it will continue to milk the Rakyat's hard earn money! QUOTE(jonathan82 @ Oct 31 2009, 02:13 AM) somemore got advertisement in between movies....HEY ASSSS-THROW, WE PAY ONE OK? PAY PUNYA SERVICE SHOUDN'T HAVE ADVERTISEMENT!!! STUPID MONOPOLY COMPANY!!!  |

QUOTE(king_kenny @ Nov 10 2009, 01:56 PM) ......, so later no need to hack my wall again... If you had lay good conduit pipes of at least an inch in diameter than there is no need to hack the wall again.You are able to pull the cables thru any time, or upgrade or service faulty cables. Just make sure the contractor fix the corners and bends properly. |

Reading in between the lines
QUOTE "In addition, we cannot ignore new media anymore." means we must find NEW ways and means of squeezing every sen from the customer. "we cannot forget our top-end customers who demand more of us." means we will sharpen our knife and start cutting the 'water' fish - by demand more money from them. Ha ha ha we have the monopoly and they have no choice! There rest I leave it to your imagination and experience. As far as I'm concern, especially the PVR stuff I will wait till I see it actually being implement. In the meantime WDTV Live is the better deal. |

QUOTE(AjkR06 @ Dec 6 2009, 08:14 AM) yes... I think kbchong is asking out of these 2 - Plasma and LCD, which ONE will be better PQ? because Plasma and LCD has been designed to displaying HDTV sources...  but if i'm not mistaken, they're also some high-end CRT TV tnat can receive HDTV sources... Right now it's all speculative on how good the signal is? |
