I subscribe to Dynasty packages and only watch Wai Lai Toi & Zhi Zun (only Three Kingdom), don't waste my time on the other channel in the packages.  I love to watch AOD new serial release on the same time as in Hong Kong.  Look out for CH 338 HD on 3rd February 2011.

Any source for ch 338 would be in HD? What are the programmes would be shown @ ch 338?

Instead of giving us new shows and new channel, they go and give us a current channel. doh.gif

Actually, those already subscribed to ch 310 won't have ANY advantages this CNY.

101% agree with you. Ass-throw is very cheapskate in this CNY programming. Probably most available bandwidth allocated for Ass-THROW 1ST. Now more local produced movies can be copied in better DVD quality, thanks to Ass-THROW.

Lapaq.. I think you should take the credit when due for helping those astro victims here... Shouldn't be thanking Astro since the issue is created by them and it is their responsible to ensure no such inconvenience to their customers.

Apex,

It's harmless lah. This is the intarweb, so we all have to expect there are douches everywhere. Not that I'm saying Jalsrix is a douche but what I'm saying is that I don't really pay much attention to all teh negativity. That is why I only commented positively and constructively.

What I understand is, lots of people here, like pokemon, and Jals, have this love-hate relationship with Astro. They love it so much and yet they also hate Astro. Kinda like my neighbour back in my Kampung, Pakcik Muthu and Makcik Selvi. Every morning at 6AM, can here he and his wife shouting at each other ever since they moved in when I was about 10-yr old.

Last Month, while I'm back in Kedah, they are still shouting at each other in the morning but I'm surprised to see they are blesed with 8 kids already with their eldest just got into a Uni in Australia! Talk about love-hate relationship, that is teh best example I can give.  thumbup.gif
*
This is not a love-hate relationship with Astro. We as customers are paying to the high fees imposed by Astro. In a way, we pay on time and reponsible on our part. Astro should provide the service level for their part. Astro never compromise when their customers default on the payment and yet Astro always default in providing the service level.

Probably you prefer Astro to do business like makcik and pakcik style.

biggrin.gif Well, suit yourself. Just believe whatever you want to believe.
I prefer a more intelligent group of consumers in Malaysia. This is not Astro's problem. The problem is we the consumers. We are the one letting these companies do this to us. Take a look not only at Astro, what about Streamyx, TM, and the likes. These are all companies where everybody complains almost everyday. But at the end of the year, these are the companies whom profits are still great.

Just like my neighbour, they shout at each other everyday, loathes each other, but still manages to live more than 20 years together and raise 8 kids! Why?

For me I vote with my RM. coz only then will they realise that we mean business. If you feel that your money is not worth the service level that they are giving, then stop giving them money. What I don't understand is, you know this one Mamak stall sells Nasi Kandaq that tastes like shit, but you still go there everyday and eat that shit and complains almost ever day! Not really bright isn't it?

You guys will probably say "bu bu but there is only one Mamak Stall (i.e. one Astro, satellite TV provider) around so you have no choice". If that is the case, then I feel sorry for you. I feel very sorry as you are a generation of people so easily controlled by big corporation where entertainment is something you can't live without. To you it's a need rather than a want.

Anyway, I don't want to argue/debate too much as there is a saying on the intarweb that goes "On the intarweb, if you win an argument you are still a retard"

p/s: I'm sure I'm gonna have everyone jump in arms and complains/argues some more....personallyI don't really care since that is what Malaysians do...they complain and they argue. What I'm doing here is just to help fellow forummers since I have a way to help. I just want everyone to enjoy HD as good things becomes great if we share!

That is enough for me. already busted my quota of LYN posting for the whole month!

We as Malaysians are being severely screwed up by those monopolised companies. Who granted them the exclusive license to operate in pay satellite tv? Same goes to highway operators with guaranteed profits for them. If our cable/satellite tv industry is open, then we can see the savior. Astro did not make it in Indonesia and lost million of ringgit is a very good example. Astro can't make money with their retarded mentality in doing business in a fair manner.

Since when are astro installer chinese ?

I have only seen malays and indian installers. Do they need to rush back for reunion dinner ?  laugh.gif Customer service failed !
*
Those ass-throw installers have signed agreement with Ass-throw to follow strictly on the terms and conditions. Should they fail to provide the services as required, they should close shop. I know 1 vice-president of customer service and Ass-throw will ban those installers if they can't follow strictly their requirements. If many customers complaint them, they will investigate and blacklist them if found they are in fault. No give and take!!!!

Even if they are chinese and want to have reunion dinner then they should inform Ass-throw their limitation during this period and reassign the job to other available installers. Such a simple and logic things do not need us to tell.

Well you win some you lose some. Kasi can la to that Installer. Maybe nak balik kampung for the CNY. Although, at the very least he could've informed Astro during the assignment of installation cases.

Anyway,
Do tell me if second installer also balik kampung  tongue.gif

Ass-throw never lose 1. Only can lose if compete in a fair competition. Customers always lose.

Well bro, the first installer is the older brother of the second installer. The first installer should have told Astro upfront and push the job to his bro as he can't do it.  mad.gif

And now, the second installer also didn't come this morning to do the installation giving reason that Astro has yet to give them the installation form. I am really speachless. Looks like I am being played around by Astro and their installer.  vmad.gif

I suspect those Assthrow installers are linked and cronies of somebody. These group of little napolean is part of the cause why the customers are suffering.

Don't worry la bro. It will be Failure First soon. Not all movie producers will sell their films to Astro to telecast. If no supply, Astro will always play the same old movies and will soon close shop. Majority movie producers boycotts Ass-throw since Ass-throw only cares for their own pocket.

Ass-throw is slaying the customers here at their will. Bear in mind, the customer base in Malaysia is many times greater than in Singapore and Starhub can offer more attractive package than Ass-throw. Believe Ass-throw must have feeding too many useless ppl in the organisation. You can see very glamour positions. CEO, President, Vice-President, Assistant Vice President and etc. With such a big organisation and yet they can't manage the customer service level well. Garbage in and garbage out.

Astro ZhiZun HD doesn't show English subtitle for 3 kingdoms as advertised. Ass-throw is a big liar again.

HDMI port will be disabled once you terminate the HD service. So, you cant view sd channels with hdmi output.
