Well, AXN Beyond HD and SET ONE HD is on Telstar 18, so probably the remaining 3 will be on other satellite feed, but hopefully not ROJAK HD channel... laugh.gif

Astro is famous for Asian Rojak, they cook own channels and serve us the same dish until we vomit !!!!! rclxm9.gif

A SPOKESMAN for Astro says the switch is needed as Astro Max will no longer be supported on the new Astro B.yond platform which offers high definition transmission on the new and existing channels provided through this service.

"To ensure our customers continue enjoying uninterrupted services from Astro, we encourage customers with Astro Max to upgrade to Astro B.yond PVR which has even better consumer benefits."

Astro regrets any inconvenience caused to the customer.

When contacted, AMY says she is satisfied with the full explanation received from Astro.

More importantly, she is happy the pay-TV service provider is letting her keep the Astro Max device
THose who plan to keep Max pls take note.Source Malay Mail .

guys..is there any Asean or Asian county for that matter, that provides their customers with original channels instead of of an international or Asian version channel? i mean like MTV..we get MTV Asia right? Is that also the case for movie channels or other channels? Heck..even Disney channel is now so Asian-ised that it is slowly becoming a Malaysian channel kids channel with programmes like Upin Ipin and 'Waktu Rehat' on it..

I know in Malaysia the most obvious reason they give is that they need to censor a lot of original channels thats why we get the Asian or International version..is it the same everywhere else? does any country get original feed from UK or US directly?

Thanks

Asian version channels are cheaper built channels to cater for the respective country and they sell each other's productions look at Bio featuring our politicians and History featuring our actor jujst like that Asian crap survives, then some become malaysianised like Disney. These are cheap ! Remember when astro started MTV and V was international we had V India I think, MGM was taken off Hallmark was international,so over the times cheap crap and full control was the best choice for astro. ASN is not astro's choice why ? Channels which singapore booted out still remains astro's choice ! Unifi has some direct channels I think.

I think they improve thier SD quality first then HD quality and HD fare before talking .... on 3D, it shows sports pack (60% subscribe sports pack)is for money making, the more forego sports pack the better chances for them to bang .... and they may then behave ! I wonder Why samsung is out now hope no technology was stolen !! rclxm9.gif

Petition is useless because they are a monopoly.

Yesterday some salesgirl from Astro called me up to promote their Astro On Demand promotion.

I told her it is still expensive after the so-called 50% discount.

I should have yelled at them to improve their existing service before looking for more profits. Real bloodsuckers  shakehead.gif

Agreed they are money suckers this monopoly would go on until those who hold the licence hv the ..... to launch at least a natiowide cable network, which seems so hard to happen wherein in Spore which is so small has two fantastic service providers. Kick them where it hurts most, the sports pack !


Added on November 18, 2010, 8:58 amMany test channels are up two for HD wonder what dissappoitment or what surprise awaits! hmm.gif

3D though is a long way off," he said. "If it was my decision, I would not put it in 3D until there were enough televisions and enough consumers out there watching it to warrant the investment and the change. But HD, we all need now."


AStro should read this. this is what I call smart thinking We dont need 3d improve HD and SD, understand ? flex.gif

I think he is right,3D has a long way to go for now HD matters. I bought a HD ready TV way back 2004 at that time we were anticipating HD to be launched by RTM, that tv too is dead now but RTM is still preparing or purposely gave way . and now only we hv HD and it may take another 5 years for current users to switch to full HD. Worst still providers charge RM20 for HD services and this is NOT in anyway going to encourage the switch to HD so why talk abt 3D ? We can guess once 3D another RM30 for 3D services ? hmm.gif

Yeah, that will be TOOOOOO expensive to invest for entertainment at this moment.

I remember many many years ago, Plasma TV and LCD TV cost more than RM10,000 with just HD ready. Now, we can get Full FD with just less than RM2000.

So, maybe wait wait wait until many many years later when all 3D TV drop to less than RM3000 and 3D glasses drop to RM30 per pair, then only we can invest into 3D entertainment.

So, I conclude that we are NOT READY for 3D yet. Only those RICH people are too KIASU to ready for it.

Yes I agree to your conclusion rclxms.gif Its futile to promote 3d at this stage hope Astro feels the same instead of turning out to be Jack of all trades but masters of none ! whistling.gif

well..maybe what u said is true..but it could also work as the direct opposite..
astro might wanna add new HD channels to packages that do not have any HD channels..
News, Variety, Fun , Metro are just some of the packages that do not have any HD channel
astro could consider getting a channel for those channels maybe in SD and HD..to attract new customers..
for example, i will be temped if they add a HD channel for Variety..
to use the term 'better astro add more popular channels like discovery HD, Star World Hd' is useless..do they know what is popular or not?
have they even did a survey or asked what their customers like?
Channel V is the prime example..it was popular among music lovers and until now people are begging astro to bring it back..even 5 months after it was removed..
it is popular but do astro  care? do they care Discovery HD or Star World HD would be  popular choice?
if popular, they would already be adding it in..they dont give a damn whats popular..
most important for them is to make more money..like today they offered me special price for movie package saying they now have 2 HD channels in that package..they're not adding channels coz its popular..they add channels so that they can get more subscribers to the package or to astro itself..

thumbup.gif I have to agree to your conclusion,its the truth nothing but the truth ! Astro wld bring only channels which wld listen to them and which are willing to be malaysianised. !!

The best way to make astro listen is mass cut off of the sports pack, why not an online petition once abt 25000 signatures collected we pproduce it to them to act if not we all downgrade sports pack !!We can make it its in our hands !

just wondering..ur not a sports pack subscribers are u? just asking coz i feel that u dont have that package and ur not interested in it anyways..my issue with ur suggestion is that, sports package subscribers have no problems with the package..

yes..NBA is a very big issue now as many NBA fans are not happy its not on astro..but other than that? what im trying to say is, ur suggesting for a sports package subscribers to downgrade..for what? yes it will hurt astro as the package has the most number of subscribers..but how many subscribers are willing to do so? they wont get any benefit from it..

and seriously..u think astro will listen? astro as the one and only company in the country have all the power to do what they want..fine..we get 25000 signature to downgrade sports package..well..astro will then just go on and increase the price of other packages that u have..who can stop them?

I said goodbye to sports pack after WC. The power is with us we can make the difference, what happen to Indonesia when astro wanted full control of EPL, it was kicked out of the country cos FTA stations carry EPL, so no point talking , do it ,60% of sports subscribers can make a difference,believe me ! icon_rolleyes.gif If you can put up with astro's offerings in the sports pack and u are satisfied pls continue I am only refering to disatisfied friends. notworthy.gif
