Noted that ESPN HD volume is back to normal now. Obviously it is ASSTHROW problem.

But, how about the random pixelation i see on Discovery Channel? Didn't they have MPEG4 feed of it?

I heard RTM will launch TVI on 10 april..its for SARAWAK n SABAH news..hmm..but it using MUZIK AKTIF channel no @ 180 astro..how come? if they launch that channel what about muzik aktif?

The verdict most likely will favour astro.

I think most likely they will split the channel accordingly like what they do to the LI HD channel..maybe Muzik Aktif on from afternoon till night and this Sarawak channel take up the morning timeslot..

STARHUB TV at singapore have ONE in SD n HD..why Malaysia only have that HD version..

Assthrow will say.. U tak suka.. u boleh pergi Singapore to get ONE in SD... hehe

hahha..saya pun rasa mcm tu..maharaja lawa lg susah nk tgk..byk indon pgrm je

We are at the mercy of a sole provider!!! You wld see that Starhub has a better and cheaper line up ,just convert the pack pricing ! wat we hv here is the many In house malay and Indian channels which are money making machines for them ! An average income earner has to pay at least RM60 for just family with HD and RM90 with sports HD ! WTF

busines is still business!!!

Rumor also says that Disney is also going to rebrand Playhouse Disney to Disney Jr. Already happen in US and Europe and will happen in Asia sometime next month if Wikipedia is to be believed. It'll be interesting to see what Astro will do...

I think ours is 100% branded as Disney malaysia with BM content ! One of the best channel for kids and teens once upon a time is in such a bad state now,with local content overdose!

Disney HD hahahahaha...dun forget, channel 980&982 is in test mode!

Thats the last 2 reserved channels used on a rotation basis ,one for sports and the other for In House ,looks like there is no more space for any permanent HD channels!

Posted on April 7, 2011, Thursday

Satellite broadcaster, Astro, will work towards ensuring that subscription fees for basic packages for its future channels will not be increased.

Information, Communication and Arts Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said Astro’s current minimum subscription fee for the basic package was competitive compared to other countries in the region, at RM37.95 for 33 multi-lingual and multi-genre channels.

“The basic package was originally priced at RM49.95 in 2004 but with fewer channels than what’s available now,” he said in a written reply made available to the media at the Dewan Rakyat here yesterday.

He was responding to a query from Wee Choo Keong (Independent-Wangsa Maju) on the ministry’s move to control what was described as Astro’s “high” monthly charges considering that it had made a net profit of RM689 million last year on the back of 2.911 million subscriptions.

On claims of content monopoly of popular channels on the part of Astro, he said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) had done a survey on this matter in addition to holding talks with foreign content rights holders such as HBO, Disney and Discovery.

“The MCMC has found that content and broadcast rights procurement was very competitive. As to premium content from abroad, they are sourced in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated by content rights holders as well as prices offered by broadcast stations,” he said. — Bernama


Didnt we all agree that they hv full govt.support including the minister and SKMM!! 37.95 for 33 channels he says hope he is aware that more then a dozen are FTA channels including 7 malaysian channels OMG !49.95 was before repacking after repacking free to view channels it came 37.95,that also that old guy does not know! He is defending the rate!!
