I would have to disagree with u here bro..ur saying we are doomed? not so sure how true that is..Let me say it like this..Right now, Astro have some, if not all, exclusive rights that there is out there..my point in disagreeing with u is that the variety that u said Astro in not providing unlike Starhub..Looking through what Starhub offers, most of them is available on Astro..but the difference is that Starhub gives u more of that variety than Astro..for example, lets talk about the Six Nations Rugby competition..on Starhub, u get all the games through Setanta..but on Astro, u only get the games selected buy ESPN STAR SPORTS..

But when u look at that, how willing are u if here in Malaysia, u have to decide between two providers..as I understand, if u want the channels on StarHub, u wont get the channels on mio TV..and that includes missing out on ESPN STAR SPORTS and sports like F1..I would settle for Astro having everything (even if a bit limited)on their platform then what the Singaporeans are facing and that is forking out money for two providers..so I dont think we are actually doomed with Astro but more of deprived from getting some f he thing we would want..

The best solution is to have the sports on both providers but that would mean scrapping the exclusive rights, something that providers are unwilling to take..

Have Astro implement channel list yet?

Also, can I use this with Astro?

Hi all,

Can anyone please post a link to latest Astro package pricing?
Most importantly, I would like to know the price of Sports package alone.

Thank you in advance!

Question is, when will those two channel channel added to B.yond?

just purchase hbo package

Where got bandwidth to add new HD channels... all used for Ass throw 1st channels....
Better margin than HD channels

True true. But that is in US. Unfortunately we are in Malaysia. Those channel in US maybe like RTM and TV3 where every provider can provide to their consumer. Unfortunately here, including Singapore (correct me if I'm wrong) they provide only exclusive right to ONE provider only per country. Don't know why do they need to give only exclusive right to a provider where they can just open the broadcast to those provider whose interested. Hope that MTVNHD will still be provided by Astro.

And how come this sooo called "monopoly" broadcaster do not get the right to give this channel to byonder?

True but in some cases, its the content that make themselves EXCLUSIVE..Both Astro and TM were locked in a bidding war for 'EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS ' for the EPL and Astro ended up paying more than their budget..Astro tied up with ESPN STAR SPORTS to share the EPL rights..if not, it could have been a three way tie..so no, Astro nor TM were demanding the exclusive rights for the EPL..the EPL opened up the auction..it was up to the providers..

FIXED
Asstro dun make $$$ from sub-title so it is NOT important to asstro.

Ya, I dun mind BM or BI as long as have sub...make that quality sub. (Not the kind of translation on the China Premier's visit banner)
