FIFA offer two type package. one for Free TV, one for Pay TV. The Free TV price is more expensive since its normally have much broader viewers compare to Pay TV.
In other words, Astro pay much cheaper compare to RTM, to get to show the game LIVE. However, for the HD broadcast, probably Astropaid quite high sum of money to FIFA.
For Singapore, none of the broadcaster over there willing to pay the asking price of FIFA. Thats why there wouldn't have any World Cup matches shown on their channels.
However most of Singaporean can recieve RTM and Indonesian TV signal, so they probably watch the games through RTM or indonesian TV.

QUOTE(neb @ Apr 6 2010, 07:13 PM) I think tv1 and tv2 channels are not scrambled, northern singapore can pick up the transmission from johor using VHF antenna or watch world cup through china satellite 6B CCTV channels  CCTV1, CCTV5(encrypted), CCTV7, CCTVHD, CCTV football(encrypted) yup,, i do not know how RTM gonna encrypt their broadcasting signal thru VHF since the signal also meant for JB audience. RTM may only encrypt the football match, via satellite, but not VHF.
