I think this one is down to ESPN/Star rather than ASTRO.

But I do feel that the production quality on ESPN/Star this year looks a bit... off...

The new sets look cheap, there are fewer pundits (which may be a good thing), from witty International guests such as John Beresford, Lee Sharpe and Macca (That's Steve... Not the fat bald) now we get Abbas Saad.

And Football Crazy!! What happened to this show? The new guy is p!ss poor unfunny. I used to like watching the wacky stuff they do like challenging local teams to score from direct from corners, the score predictor, etc etc. They should just spend the money to import Soccer AM.

Ok sudah lari topic...

Another price increase so soon after would be suicidal. Still, I think having it would be a much better alternative than going out at 3 in the morning every other week for the Champions League.

Yeah I do agree that the content for football this year has been piss poor. Football Focus is prob still the best becoz we get views from those who actually are knowledgeable about the sport and the highlights are good for those who want a review of the week's actions. Football Crazy has gone down the drain since they decided to hire a pretty boy to compliment a pretty gal. Andy Penders used to be hilarious, and Jamie's only okay (would be extremely hot if she supported Man United of course), but the days where they had Jien and all were still the best.

If they increase , I'll switch to Computer. At least with 4Mbps streamyx its possible to stream HD Content. so those of you who are planning to say goodbye to suckstro , its better to opt for 4Mbps streamyx. At least you get a premium IP range with good connectivity or wait for HSBB

Why opt for 4mbps? I can stream smoothly +downloading simultaneously with 2mbps package.

i heard astro might be opening dedicated channels for teams like CHELSEA, MANU, ARSENAL and etc...so that each dedicated fans can watched ALL LIVE matches from their preferred teams ONLY.

e.g. if u are cfc fan, subscribe for chelsea tv only. i guess this is a good idea.

so the package might be something like this:

SPORTS PACKAGE + CHELSEA TV or MANU TV or ARSENAL TV etc

hope astro don't increase the price anymore if they want their LOYAL customers to remain.
why not channels like golf & eurosport are separated...so tht we can choose the channel tht we can subscribe to the channel tht we preferred only.

MAYBE put in simplest way: FOOTBALL PACKAGE, MOTOR SPORTS PACKAGE, GOLF PACKAGE, ALTERNATIVE SPORTS PACKAGES (tennis, swimming, ski jump & etc)

PAY WHAT U WANT! flex.gif


just my thought.

If not TM for entering the bid, Astro won't need to put high price for the right.
I don't think Astro should be blamed on this issue.

Astro is not the culprit or receiving end on the money, the money (broadcast right) will go to EPL eventually more money for EPL clubs, more wages increment for the players.

We are paying for the players's wages actually which has increase several fold over the last few years. The players wages simply sky-rocketing over the last few years as well as transfer fee.

higher player wages = higher sponsorship required(espn- in terms of broadcasting too)= astro pay more to espn = we pay more to astro.

i wonder y they took out so many stars like Jien, Andy Penders off from the football crazy... the new guy totally can't be a host - consistently looking at his notes and DEFINITELY VERY LAME WITH HIS JOKES... and...

the UCL is lousy... no clock timer... no preview anymore from Skysports... no pundits from ESPN for the matches either...

so far only enjoying football focus and their regular matches...
