I want to start an online petition to petition Astro and ask them to revise their pricing structure for multiple decoders

Currently every decoder is a new account with separate channel subscriptions.

I want to suggest they revise to a single subscription per installation address, and every additional decoder be a rental unit, or if purchased by the subscriber, a rental of the SIM card for a fixed monthly amount.

This way I don't mind loading up on subscription of all channels anyone in my house could possibly want to watch (Kid, Edutainment, Sports, Movies, etc etc) and then put a few decoders around the house wherever there is a TV.

What do you guys think?


There are a few petitions on petitionsonline.com already running/ over - does anyone know if they had any effect?

tsk tsk what happened to Malaysia boleh

I'm sure they will get more customers getting multiple decoders than now

Maybe copy to Ministry of Information

Can't you subscribe to individual channels? you would think that a computer can easily track individual channels people subscribe to. Maybe they do their billing manually

As long as you and everyone else signs the petition...

that would affect a lot of people, major investment, licensing, the government etc etc... could be decades before we see a change. What I'm asking for can be done at Astro board level, does not involve capital expenditure and could get them more subscribers.

Perhaps I should run a survey first, and see if how many decoders people would take if the pricing structure was changed
