Regarding new HD channels,
I don't think the World Cup can be considered channels
Yes I know the World Cup has 5 channels set
But it is merely because some matches will take place at the same time
Astro will show all 64 matches LIVE so thats the reason for extra channels
I also think the total might be more or less than 5
The last World Cup had 8 channels..they had different camera angles of the matches on the 8 channels..
I also remember a channel for chat and news
So what I'm trying to say is the World Cup channels will be temporary only
So I dont think Astro consider that as a channel
I do believe new HD channels will be made available this year..
Maybe up to 10 channels like Astro said
But everyone must remember..someone said here that SKY in the Uk have had HD for 4 years now..
But they still only have 32 HD channels
N in Asia someone said only 8 or 9 HD channels only available
I know RAMChYLD said a CS staff said no more new channels this year..
Don take the words of the staff for granted..
They are just on the Customer Service department
Even TallJustin who works on the tech team at Astro doesnt know anything about new channels until it is launched
Basically the people who know about new channels will be the people at the programming department
Imagine if the whole of Astro staff know about new channels
N say one of them let the secret out in the public
Imagine how people will call Astro non stop asking when is launch, what channel is new and so on..
It will spread rumours and be chaotic to handle
So lets just wait and have an element of surprise when we get the new info on HD channels..
Anyways, there is no guarantee that the new HD channels will be available in ur subscription
Imagine a new HD channel for Dynasty package or Metro package or Variety package
I dont have the package so i wont get
So even if u are demanding it now and astro does launch new HD channel, tough luck u might not even get it..
So lets just wait and see k..
