i will pay for the price increase only if they broadcast sport channel in HD and 5.1 sound

may be they can do BPL on demand like StarHub did in singapore, $3 per game

I would be much much happier if the actually brought in Skysports in here. Also, I'm sure most of us would watch other football matches other than just the matches of the club we support. For instance, I support Liverpool, and Liverpool doesn't play until 11.55PM. So usually, I as a football fan would want to watch the earlier games etc right? So with this new Astro concept thing, would this be possible? Or not..?

And yes, I agree. Wtf's up with UCL these days? Don't even know how many minutes left etc.. Just hook up a damn timer for gods sake. Last year was awesome, and now... it's like poop. Football crazy isn't "crazy" anymore. It's all stupid.

From my experience those streaming is very slow n need to always refresh.
The price hike is really putting burden on us subscribers.

Price hike is ultimately the customer's fault, it's a supply demand thing. If enough people stop subscribing, soon enough the price will drop.

It is like chicken and eggs issue.

If there is not enough demand to meet the cost of broadcasting, Astro might not broadcast it at all. So ended no live EPL across as cost is too high. Astro is not the like gov owned TV, then need to make profit to survive.

If more people stop subscribing, it means Astro no longer exist, not the price drop.

Just like decades back, we don't have a chance to see live match on league (when there is no Astro back then), only once awhile got chance to see the FA cup final only under sponsorship of tobacco company.

What the eff is wrong with Astro?

UCL coverage this season is pure shit.

No pre-match show (okay for some people)
NO EFFING TIMER (you're f***ed if you wake up late and wont know the scorelines or TIME on both channels)
No after-match show (you wont know what the result and highlights from the other match)


Even if they can't get pre/after match show is it too hard to put a TIMER with SCORE ?

It's so disappointing and i'm pretty pissed about it
