call up Astro to check on IPTV and the feedback are that it is under trial and will likely be launch in April/May on selected areas such as mont kiara and klcc area.
the next area will like be bangsar and damansara .
also check the PVR decoder upgrade where a one time RM 300 and RM10 monthly will be charge.
alternatively , i could still use a external HDisk for recording at RM5 per month but they only recommend WD 320GB .
does anyone knows if other brand HDD with higher capacity are compatible with b.yond

Pls go for the PVR, the ext HDD which is WD tends to be problematic. About IPTV it wld not be a matter of interest cos its not nationwide.
I know TM Unifi has ChannelNews Asia but I think astro (as a good partner with the gov) wont allow them to be on Astro..simple reason is Channel News Asia brings news about Malaysia that might hurt the government..Here we get crap TV1,TV2,TV3 news that are all pro gov and the opposition are all bad guys.. all things are rosy on the government side..but try watching Channel News Asia and they will give us the 'other side of the story'..Malaysian government are scared the people living in KL, and the northern states will hear news that would not be heard on the local news channels..
What 'other side of the story' from Singapore PAP govt tightly controlled ChannelNews Asia (CNA)? You mean those news where they run down every neighbouring Asian countries plus Australia, NZ, UK, Canada and US just so that they can frightened their citizens from emigrating? Come on lah, let's be realistic. CNA is as pro govt as TV1, TV2, TV3 news. It's just that they are pro PAP while the others are pro BN. In short, they are all crap. The less watched, the better. The fact is TM's (which is also a good partner of the govt) Unifi has very limited reach, so no problem with our govt.
TV1 is trying hard to potray a modern multi racial Malaysia cos its beamed to selected countries, and is everyones guess why,while the other is vice versa.......best not watched.When main papers and main TV turn to be tools of the ruling parties,this is when and why people like us crave for Sky News, Fox, NBC NHK World etc...etc ! Neutral genuine news channels which report as it is and leave no stones unturned are most welcomed and looked forward to...

My point is..if the local TV is already crap with news about pro BN, then why not have another crap channel (your words by the way) that are not pro BN..at least we get both crappy side of the story..just having pro BN is lopsided dot you think..? But I wont count on it ever happening..the media in Malaysia is controlled by the gov..eventhough they say our media is free from any parties and we are democratic nation..as P.Ramlee would say it 'DEMOKRASI KEPALA HOTAK KAU'..

no way~~no news about astro byond new hd channel , then hypptv new hd channel go first~~==
Now I just wish unifi was nationwide ! They got more International Fare compared to Astro which are mostly Asian versions! New HD channels on Astro ? I doubt there wld be any cos now we can see that they hv run out of bandwith, they are no more masters of thier own house ! For a while they wld divert our attention to IPTV !

Only a lunatic would say the media in Malaysia is free from any politics and parties..
Face it..media in Malaysia is stuffed with politics..go and see the news in other countries and you might shake your head comparing the quality of our prime time news content with that of other countries..ours is stuffed with just politics and name callings..
Is that 'demokrasi terpimpin'?
Let P.Ramlee's video clip answer my question:

Thanks for your reply. I totally understand where you coming from. Good to get more sides of the same story. But please remember that all Malaysian and Singaporean media are heavily censored and edited. Just because CNA are not from Malaysia doesn't mean that they are better than us or have un-biased and honest reporting. CNA can and will paint a very very bad picture of other countries if it helps PAP to achieve their political agenda. Cheers.
