But Astro IPTV is useless to those without Time Broadband coverage which is 99% of Bolehland
 What's the point then? Really doubtful if they're going to let UniFi or Yes users onboard IPTV. I've seen 13-14Mbps with multi-segment download on my Huddle so HD IPTV should be no problem. This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Apr 15 2011, 01:08 AM |

Paytv ,IPTV and broadband is slowly becoming a luxury and too costly, Telcos and Providers are doing so many favours for the government and in return getting things their way ! Our paytv, iptv and BB is ridicilously priced!
 None gives a perfect service,our money's worth! |

With reference to my earlier post:
KAPIT: Some 2,000 units of Astro decorders and telivison sets will be distributed to longhouses in the interior areas of the state this year. Deputy Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum said the respective district offices would identify the recipients. "Each longhouse will get one unit which will be placed under the longhouse chief's care. "The units will be distributed after the state election," he said after visiting Rh. Kilau, one of the five longhouses in Sungai Tunoh settlement areas in the interior of Baleh, about one-day journey by longboat and 4-wheel drive from here. Salang who flew in to the area added the longhouses must be in those areas where the people could not get the Radio Television Malaysia or the TV 3 television broadcast. He said the gesture was part of the government's programme to help rural folks not only to be better informed but informed on real time on all happenings all over the country and even the world. Earlier when visiting Rh. Kubu anak Sandom in Nanga Tada near Sibu, he said the government under the current Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was most sympathetic to the plight of all the nation's rural communities. "For this reason, he deserves all our support in order to allow him to do more," he said. On the request for more kampung Wi-Fi projects, Salang said he would bring the matter to the attention of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

Those Astro were paid for by currents Astro subscribers who paid for the government tax..government tax money is for government to spend for elections.. Thats right pal ! The evidence is there !Telcos ,paytv and the whole lot under SKM hv become the tools of the govertment, the deal u support me you can do whatever you please, who can forget the CNY SMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They say cheap BB show me the cheapest reliable BB, paytv ? RM40 just to get own FTA channels plus a few rojak channels RM60+ just to get sports extra and RM90+ to get some HD, so we need a provider to give variety at just RM50! cos astro is becoming luxury now! I jsut wonder what else the license holders are waiting for ! This post has been edited by smileguy: Apr 16 2011, 12:03 PM |

QUOTE(smileguy @ Apr 15 2011, 09:04 AM) Paytv ,IPTV and broadband is slowly becoming a luxury and too costly, When did PayTV, IPTV and broadband become a necessity? The internet may become a necessity but not necessarily broadband. I think regular broadband by many providers are priced within the acceptable range but certainly Unifiy isn't. And it shouldn't be. QUOTE Telcos and Providers are doing so many favours for the government and in return getting things their way ! Currying favors is not exclusive to Malaysia. And we're not the world's worst in that regard.QUOTE Our paytv, iptv and BB is ridicilously priced! Still comparing us to other countries, huh? Pick a country, travel to that country for a year and find out for yourself the negatives of your chosen country. I'm quite certain there will be.But that's not going to end your misery because you're always whining about it. So when you do find the negatives, stop whining on internet forums. Do something about it to make the situation better. QUOTE None gives a perfect service,our money's worth! If you are working, ask your boss if s/he is getting her/his money's worth for your perfect service.fuad |

According to Wikipedia and a friend who's in the loop for these Disney stuff, Disney Jr is a mandated HD channel and Playhouse Disney Asia will stop transmitting. That means Playhouse Disney is no more and they'll be forced to take Disney Jr in HD because Playhouse Disney show is moved over to Disney Jr. Dropping that channel is too much of a risk as most of the popular kiddie shows are on the channel.Of course, they could take the channel and downsample it to SD...

QUOTE(writesimply @ Apr 16 2011, 03:38 PM) When did PayTV, IPTV and broadband become a necessity? The internet may become a necessity but not necessarily broadband. I think regular broadband by many providers are priced within the acceptable range but certainly Unifiy isn't. And it shouldn't be. QFTCurrying favors is not exclusive to Malaysia. And we're not the world's worst in that regard. Still comparing us to other countries, huh? Pick a country, travel to that country for a year and find out for yourself the negatives of your chosen country. I'm quite certain there will be. But that's not going to end your misery because you're always whining about it. So when you do find the negatives, stop whining on internet forums. Do something about it to make the situation better. If you are working, ask your boss if s/he is getting her/his money's worth for your perfect service. fuad I'm sure the boss will say not getting his money's worth. |

So let me get this straight..
SKY NEWS SD will be on ch514.. SKY NEWS HD will be on ch700.. True? and its from 25-29 April? IINM the Royal Wedding is on the 29 April right? Hmm..my feeling is the SD has a bigger potential of staying rather than the HD channel based on the ch number..and correct me if Im wrong but theres not enpugh space for HD channels rather than SD channels? Or is there not enough space to add both? This post has been edited by dxjb: Apr 19 2011, 10:55 PM |

Astro B.yond IPTV – The best of 3 worlds in 1 service
by Astro on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 7:45pm Multiplay services with Astro TV (HD, PVR, VOD), High Speed Fibre Broadband and Voice Astro delivers the best of Broadcast, Broadband and Voice through its latest service – Astro B.yond IPTV (Internet Protocol TV). Astro B.yond IPTV brings to life true digital lifestyle serving the needs of knowledge driven and globally connected Malaysians. Astro’s strategic collaboration with TIME dotCom Berhad (TIME) to deliver IPTV since December 2010 brings an unparalleled multiplay of Astro channels in HD (High-Definition) with Personal Video Recording (PVR) and VOD (Video-on-Demand) services delivered via TIME’s 100% fibre broadband offering the fastest internet speed in the country with voice at the best value to Malaysian homes. Dato’ Rohana Rozhan, Chief Executive Officer of Astro Malaysia said, “In December 2009, with the launch of Astro B.yond, we brought the first HD and 3D channels, then PVR services to Malaysians. Since launch, we have seen unprecedented demand for our services, which are now in more than 500,000 out of 3 million Astro homes. However, almost 320,000 existing Astro customers living in centralized high-rise residences are unable to enjoy Astro B.yond services and this presents an opportunity for Astro to bring these services to them. Today marks another milestone in our Astro B.yond journey, inspired by our customers. Astro B.yond IPTV will be progressively available to 167,000 homes in 730 MDUs in the Klang Valley and Penang by the end of the year. At present, Astro B.yond IPTV is available at 60 high-rise condominiums within Mont Kiara, KLCC, Bangsar and Penang powered by TIME. Since our pilot launch, we have experienced cumulative demand and achieved 100 per cent take-up in two TIME fibred condominiums.” TIME CEO, Afzal Abdul Rahim commented “The launch of Astro B.yond IPTV significantly advances the multimedia and internet experience in Malaysian homes. The combined expertise of Astro’s programming proficiency and TIME’s robust 100% fibre-based network certainly ranks Astro B.yond IPTV as the best product available in the market. As Astro’s preferred network partner, we are well on course to wiring-up the target buildings and are committed to making this partnership a collective success." Pricing & Flexible Packages Astro B.yond IPTV comes with a flexible broadband package of your choice for as low as RM128 for 3Mbps per month, available on top of your current Astro subscription. Astro B.yond IPTV customers will be able to enjoy free high speed fibre broadband and VOD services until 30th June 2011. Free hardware and installation Astro B.yond IPTV customers will enjoy free hardware and standard installation worth up to RM3, 000. Astro B.yond IPTV comprises HD and PVR enabled boxes, HDMI cables, and Wi-Fi router modem which all come with free standard installation. Visit www.astro.com.my/iptv; or call 03-9543 1543 for more details on packages and locations where the service is available. (Please refer to the attached brochure for more details). Astro B.yond IPTV: Redefining Malaysian Home Entertainment with Multiplay Services Astro B.yond IPTV customers will enjoy a revolutionary TV viewing experience through its industry-leading and cutting-edge technology via its ‘tri-brid’ box which operates in all modes – Direct to Home (DTH) satellite, pure IPTV as well as DTH-IPTV hybrid mode. Once connected, Astro B.yond’s ‘tri-brid’ box will be able to connect to the TIME’s fibre broadband network to access a comprehensive on-demand service, providing even more choice and greater control to complement Astro B.yond’s products and services. Astro B.yond IPTV is the perfect home solution as it not only caters to the connected lifestyle of a modern family, but also the individual needs for information, entertainment and staying connected. Each home will have a dedicated bandwidth of 100 Mbps, which is large enough to support 2 concurrent Astro B.yond boxes, each of them simultaneously recording up to 2 HD channels while watching either one of the HD channel or the recorded HD content and downloading the third VOD programme in HD, while leaving 30 Mbps, which is 30 times faster than the standard 1 Mbps, to support all connected devices such as laptops, tablet devices, mobile phones and games consoles on Wi-Fi within a single household. TIME’s fibre connections run directly into homes, ensuring consistent speed that is required for IPTV delivery and uncompromised internet quality. Once connected, Astro B.yond IPTV customers will have access to the best of international and local entertainment, learning and sports – with more than 130 live and on demand Astro channels inclusive of 12 HD channels, PVR and an updating library of VOD content. Astro B.yond IPTV works on a progressive download basis which means that content becomes available to view within seconds before it is fully downloaded. With hundreds of great TV to choose from, customers can access popular VOD titles – dramas, wellness and children series. The Astro’s on demand library will be expanded over time. Coming your way in the coming months, will be Latest Releases, the Week’s Best and Special Interest programmes. Dato’ Rohana continued, “At 50 per cent penetration of Malaysian TV homes, we are an integral part of viewers and listeners’ daily lives. This is a privilege that Astro does not take lightly. Moving forward, Astro will continuously strive to provide the best value to our customers and to remain as customer’s preferred choice for home entertainment. In doing so, we are open to mutually beneficial, win-win partnerships with other Fibre-to-the-Home (FttH) partners to ensure that Astro B.yond IPTV’s multiplay offering is available throughout Malaysia.” source |

Nevermind only 12 HD channels. The fact that true VOD is not available to 99% of the country is already a deal breaker (Believe me, if they switch to true VOD then they can free up over two dozen channels of satellite bandwidth that is wasted showing the same show looping back-to-back 24/7. Plus they have infinite bandwidth to add more channels, possibly making many new channels that're only exclusive to Astro IPTV subscribers and not to Astro satellite subscribers).Someone has to convince MCMC to mandate that all IPTV system must work with all ISPs that offer enough bandwidth (i.e. Time, Yes, P1's newly reintroduced W1ggy 10Mbps package and UniFi). If they don't none of them can ever break even. So far the only IPTV system that works with all ISPs is DETV, and they're only of interests to Chinese expats or ex-Malaysian-expats-in-China who move back from China and readjusting to life in Malaysia because almost all of their lineup is China and Taiwan channels.

Only HDMI port are available to output the HD content to your TV.. and that's why probably it can be use simultaneously... |

Sky News should be on at 12 midnight tonight right? Dunno y but kinda happy to get something from Sky at last..even if its news..really hope it will stay longer than the 4 days..if Astro have on the Measat list, u not use it right? Astro First channels are such a waste of space..
N since I dont have Astro On Demand, can I ask how many channels do they actually need for that? Are there any bad effects if they reduce one or two of those channels so that they can add a new channel? |

Yes I am seeing Sky News SD with the news package.
Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer a programme recorded on the PVR? There's a USB slot there but it doesn't seem to do anything. Anyone know a crack? My mom was just on BBC World News today and I want to keep the show and burn into DVD for her. |

My guess is that Astro will keep Sky News because it's partially owned by News Corp. News Corp also has share in Astro. So Astro is basically adopted brother of Sky News.
If you ask me tho, AC Nielsen is the clueless one. Doctor Who new season launch yesterday. Dun get to see because dun have BBC Entertainment. Fren from US talking about it This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Apr 25 2011, 10:21 AM |

Fren from US talking about it Not everything in Malaysia is government interference, this one is corporate. Murdoch has a running battle with the BBC in the UK as he feels they take too much market share from Sky. When Astro were petitioned by the Expat group in KL on why BBCE had gone they said it was 'lack of quality', at the time BBCE was showing State of Play, a multi Bafta award winning drama with film stars James McAvoy and Bill Nighy - widely regarded as one of the best TV shows of the last decade (and adapted into a Holllywood film). They replaced it with BIO and a Britney Spears documentary, the excuse is just laughable, if they'd said it was too expensive or something I might have beleived it. |

QUOTE(Mr Jones @ Apr 25 2011, 07:08 PM) Yes spot on, Sky is News Corp and so is a chunk of Astro. Anything with STAR, SKY or FOX in it is all Murdoch. Well, if they say too expensive I'm sure the Expats and some other folks who understand quality (myself included) will offer to accept a subscription fee hike. So it won't go in Murdoch's way also. Not everything in Malaysia is government interference, this one is corporate. Murdoch has a running battle with the BBC in the UK as he feels they take too much market share from Sky. When Astro were petitioned by the Expat group in KL on why BBCE had gone they said it was 'lack of quality', at the time BBCE was showing State of Play, a multi Bafta award winning drama with film stars James McAvoy and Bill Nighy - widely regarded as one of the best TV shows of the last decade (and adapted into a Holllywood film). They replaced it with BIO and a Britney Spears documentary, the excuse is just laughable, if they'd said it was too expensive or something I might have beleived it. Now I hope BBCE comes to UniFi. But then if they go to UniFi people will bising, especially those in East coast, Sabah, and Sarawak, because UniFi just won't launch there yet. Heck, many towns in West Coast and even many parts of Klang Valley still don't have the service. Sumore UniFi have no PVR function yet, and cannot record using DVD Recorder- got Macrovision protection, even on local channels like RTM and TV3.

Im seeing the calls for Sky News to be kept permanent is growing louder and so it should be bcoz of the quality of the channel..surely Astro are considering it since they have given the channel a 4 day preview for an event that only takes one day..are Astro testing the waters on whether this channel will be popular among viewers? Of course its popular..its something different to what we already have and based on Astro's FB, its already popular..
Again though, a question for all the sifus out there, which South Est Asain or even Asian country actually carries Sky News or Sky News HD on their network? Coz my understanding is that Sky News is actually intended for viewers in the UK and Ireland? Are there any countries around our region that has it? I dont think even Singapore has this channel..

Not going to let them go until they bring in Discovery HD. Accident or not, already advertise the channel, must bring it if have demand. And Boomerang.

Astro wl never bring channels which refuse to JV with them thats for sure it is not easy to be thier provider! An example ,they invested 20% in Sun Network and they control the local network here ! Time slots are sold to local advertisers for advertisement revenue!Just like that they want control on the channels and the contents as well.BBCE was not interested and took off !Everybody else in the world has Discovery HD but astro in NOT interested ! Sure it was a deal problem!
Well the only privelage is that they hv full BN backing and that NO competitors were allowed,they remain sole provider until today! This post has been edited by smileguy: Apr 26 2011, 11:59 AM |

I guess it depends on what you would like to watch. Sports fans definitely would still have to go back to Astro no matter what. Astro's IPTV also means no disruptions during rain which is also important for me. Also, at 6mbps for RM149 (compared to UniFi's 5mbps for RM149), sure seems good to me too espcially when it is serviced by TIME which I had pretty good experience with their service in the past compared to TM's.Added on April 26, 2011, 7:50 pm Yes you are absolutely right!

I hv to agree with you on that, at the same time I feel giving Astro full exclusive control of EPL was unfair! 6 mbps at RM149 is fine ,how about your astro channels,how much wld that add up to? |

Apparently the Astro channels subscription fee remains the same as those on the satellite dish, it's just that you will definitely have to subscribe to their Internet service as well. So it's the Internet package together with your Astro subscription fee (depending on the package/channels you subscribed).Do correct me if I'm wrong about the subscription fees. |

Yes u are right ,the basic astro subsription is added to the IPTV charges,so if one takes unifi then he has more choice of Tv then to take the whole from astro.Do correct me if I'm wrong about the subscription fees. |

Apparently my neighbourhood just got unifi. Since I'm so sick of streamyx I'm probably going to give them a go (although I hear they are also run by TM and not very reliable). This means I get their TV service too, right? I'll let you guys know how it compares to astro if I do get it.

Yes I agree with u that probably some matches should be shown on FTA channels and at the same time on Astro..but u look at the Malaysian Super League..even that now has no coverage on FTA channels..only Astro has exclusive rights for that..luckily RTM can still show matches involving the Malaysian national team..But can u blame Astro completely? Heck no..I will put a lot of blame also on FTA channels like RTM n Media Prima channels..they are simply not interested enough to show EPL or Malaysian football..look at Astro..since they took over the rights, there are at least 4 Live matches a week..when the rights was with RTM, only 1 match per week..and even that not guaranteed coz if government held those stupid festival open house, the matches will not be shown LIVE..their stupid highlights coverage is at 12 midnight every Sunday..how o u promote local football at that time of the day? n their presenters? All the same people who was in the same job 20 years ago..still the same bunch..suam2 kuku effort N media Prima..when was the last time u saw any kind of football match on their channels? They would rather show Indon dramas 24 hours a day than do anything for the local sports scene.. Credit also has to be given to Astro..Astro Arena has brought sports of all kinds that Malaysian are involved with..they do bring some sports that u could not dream of would be shown on FTA channels simply coz those blokes at RTM and Media Prima just dont have an ounce of car about it.. |

I don't like the idea of splitting the channels across multiple providers either. But I'm for the idea of making exclusive rights illegal. Canada already pass such a law.

I agree about that UNIFI issue..if EPL was on Unifi and u had to take internet bundled with the TV, then I dont think Unifi can match Astro' number of customers..even some warong2 in the kampung just take Astro for the sports pack..now try and think how many of those warong would take up Unifi if football was on their platform and they need to take up internet as well..? Just my 2 cents... not supporting astro and tm. If Unifi want to compete with Astro, they should try give customers of Astro what Astro wont give..for one, let them pick the channels that they want..not come bundled in one..Unifi should try emulate what ESPN has done in the UK..they bid for EPL rights and won 1/4 rights to show matches with the rest going to Sky..ESPN is available on Sky's platform..so the money for subscription for the ESPN channel will go to ESPN and at the same time Sky would still get their share of the subscription fee.. Can I ask u AjkR06, if u know, what leagues are split between the two providers in Singapore? I wish this never happens in Malaysia.. This post has been edited by dxjb: Apr 27 2011, 12:00 PM |

Folks, need your help here. I'm contemplating to move to Byond.
Wanted to check, on the normal Byond Box, can I use both output, at the same time meaning the hdmi and Video-AV.? The reason I'm asking I dont plan to take up the Astro DVR, but would like to record some programs time to time. Currently I'm recording using a VCR, yeah yeah I know its out dated technology!  SO on the new byond box can I continue the same? Thanks |

QUOTE(dxjb @ Apr 27 2011, 11:46 AM) Yes I agree with u that probably some matches should be shown on FTA channels and at the same time on Astro..but u look at the Malaysian Super League..even that now has no coverage on FTA channels..only Astro has exclusive rights for that..luckily RTM can still show matches involving the Malaysian national team.. Yeah, Astro took sports while the other local FTA resorted to dramas and lately POLITICS ! But can u blame Astro completely? Heck no..I will put a lot of blame also on FTA channels like RTM n Media Prima channels..they are simply not interested enough to show EPL or Malaysian football..look at Astro..since they took over the rights, there are at least 4 Live matches a week..when the rights was with RTM, only 1 match per week..and even that not guaranteed coz if government held those stupid festival open house, the matches will not be shown LIVE..their stupid highlights coverage is at 12 midnight every Sunday..how o u promote local football at that time of the day? n their presenters? All the same people who was in the same job 20 years ago..still the same bunch..suam2 kuku effort N media Prima..when was the last time u saw any kind of football match on their channels? They would rather show Indon dramas 24 hours a day than do anything for the local sports scene.. Credit also has to be given to Astro..Astro Arena has brought sports of all kinds that Malaysian are involved with..they do bring some sports that u could not dream of would be shown on FTA channels simply coz those blokes at RTM and Media Prima just dont have an ounce of car about it.. The situations were in astro's favour and they are the exclusive No:1 Sports Provider This post has been edited by smileguy: Apr 27 2011, 03:03 PM |

QUOTE(dxjb @ Apr 26 2011, 12:55 AM) Again though, a question for all the sifus out there, which South Est Asain or even Asian country actually carries Sky News or Sky News HD on their network? Coz my understanding is that Sky News is actually intended for viewers in the UK and Ireland? Are there any countries around our region that has it? I dont think even Singapore has this channel.. I was staying in Hong Kong and they had Sky News on there. It is intended for UK and Ireland viewers but of course a lot of stories are international and people in this part of the world love their English football stories too.Added on April 28, 2011, 12:16 am QUOTE(dxjb @ Apr 27 2011, 11:57 AM) If Unifi want to compete with Astro, they should try give customers of Astro what Astro wont give..for one, let them pick the channels that they want..not come bundled in one..Unifi should try emulate what ESPN has done in the UK..they bid for EPL rights and won 1/4 rights to show matches with the rest going to Sky..ESPN is available on Sky's platform..so the money for subscription for the ESPN channel will go to ESPN and at the same time Sky would still get their share of the subscription fee.. Yup but that deal came after EU competition bosses stopped them selling EPL exclusively to Sky. They now are forced to sell matches in 8 packages and one broadcaster can only buy a maximum of 6, that's why Setanta got the other 2 and then were taken over by ESPN.

PVR decoder has dual tuner to record multiple streams.This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Apr 28 2011, 11:44 AM |

Well, if they put into News package, at least they have initiative to get people to sign up for HD. Which may be good- since most people just avoid signing up for HD saying "no reason to sign up since the channel I want not available in HD". OTOH, Sky is a cousin brother to Astro...This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Apr 29 2011, 10:34 AM |

Only HD is not activated.QUOTE(pokemon @ Apr 29 2011, 11:45 AM) Only when Assthrow sends more satellites to cater for more bandwidth. Or when they change to DVB-S2+MPEG-4+AAC exclusively, which may or may not be in progress. There's no other reason for them to force everyone to change to a B.yond decoder (which is DVB-S2 ready). Or when they switch to IPTV completely, which will require way less bandwitdth since IPTV is on-demand (i.e. decoder must connect to a server for channel instead of listening to noisy airwaves for channel). With IPTV, adding a new channel is a case of adding a receiver+server. QUOTE(smileguy @ Apr 29 2011, 02:29 PM) Whatever said, Sky News is not Astro's taste it wl be gone tonight!

You know them lah. Unless everyone boycott them then maybe they'll listen. But then there's all the kaki bola and Chinese drama addict who will still go along with them no matter what.
What we all can do, all call in to Astro call center and demand Sky be brought back. If got 100 caller maybe they will think twice. If need, promise that we will agree to package price hike. After all, Singapore is not getting it cheap either. This is a "size-up package" for them. They need to sign up for basic news package, then pay more to "size-up" to premium package for Sky. And that's not counting Sky HD. This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Apr 30 2011, 12:47 AM |

I mean..I would gladly swap some of the Astro crap channels that I get now just for SkyNews and SkyNews HD..is it just me or does anyone else feel there are just some unnecessary channels on Astro right now..(Astro First and AOD channels)..if the number of those channels were reduced, would that help to create space for new channels?Now Im back to watching CNN and BBCWorld since my favourite channel Sky News is gone both in SD sand HD..damn sad.. |

I have to agree with you, they hv more sports and drama fans then those who want News and informative stuffs ! They thinking twice ,I doubt it cos so many channels were taken off when they wanted it out,remember BBCE, and V ! They dont cater for customers , only profit based.

They're going house to house changing decoder and dish if necessary).I give Astro two choices: 1. Change the codec and decoder 2. Pressure MEASAT to launch another satellite or give existing transponder to Astro. Although, the full codec switch would most likely come shortly only after all the decoders have been switched. That would still be months away.... There's a third option for them: make IPTV mode work over all broadband links like DETV and deliver at least on-demand content over that. If need allow device to piggyback over Maxis 3G (free 3G dongle that plugs into front USB port and only connects to special AP for Astro use over Maxis airwave). That way they can free out at least two dozen channels of the satellite. Or switch to IPTV completely with Maxis 3G dongle (or Maxis LTE once that launched). HSPA+ can do 14.4Mbps, enough for one HDTV stream. LTE can fly at 100Mbps. And if they use UDP Multicast, hardly any bandwidth will be used. Again, this will require that their B.yond switch plan is complete. Which is still months away. I hope they regret selling off MEASAT 1 to South Africa and completely phasing out MEASAT 2.

I heard even in standby it uses 20W ,so I switch off my byond every night
putting byond in standby is to facilitate firmware update, so may be you can let it in standby during the day hours |

What I was told is, in order to get beyong Hardware (box and disk), you need to upgrade from Astro to Byond and subscribe to HD for a year (RM20) after that you could cancel the HD.
You cant upgrade fro Astro to non HD Byond. |

If U are a non beyond customer and want to upgrade of course u need to subscribe to HD cos thats wat the intention is. But if astro changes your decorder to Beyond then HD services is optional. Many of my friends boxes were phased out like this ,they hv the beyond box but did not take HD services.Thats why now u see many adverts on HD clarity and that a hdtv wld not allow HD just like that, unless u have Beyond HD services!

By the way, it was lifetime warranty because everything belong to Astro. If you terminate subscription, you have to return everything also.

If people dare to call and voice out their concerns then Astro will surely be more careful. Instead i notice people are more likely to just whine on the forum. It's not like calling Astro customer care will get you ISA... |

As predicted, all Sukan programming only, if not Chinese drama channel. They might as well drop everything not sports related and rebrand as "CINSU".
Asstro's current programming director reminds me of Bernie Stolar. In more ways than one. This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: May 3 2011, 01:32 PM |

Well, thats just it isnt it? Clearly the demand for sports content, be it local or international far outweighs the cry for content such as news, documentaries, kids and other channels..and clearly Astro see sports ad their profit hub that can get them more money than they can ever dream of..N also..I think when u say that consumers need to voice out their demands, this is an example of it..not necessarily through calling Astro but by the wave of feedback consumers of the sports packages to Astro through various mediums..contrary to those who might think sports have enough channels already, the fact is, they dont..remember the controversy of no NBA earlier this year? Its very hard to cater the needs of many sports fans..in this particular case, its an additional local sports channel..n I bet u, this channel is set up with many financial backers and sponsorship deals..that plus the potential revenues Astro take in financially, it all plays into Astro hands.. Astro give u what they want to give u..if u want something from them, try doing something about it.. |

We can make a difference,its all in our hands, to get them get up or get them out ! It takes just a bit of sacrifice to see better things, what we lack is the support for that.Whatever they sell, really sells !! AF at RM15 no problem, maybe at RM30 one day also no problem!!Cricket at RM500 also no problem!

QUOTE(neb @ May 3 2011, 09:48 PM) singapore could be getting their SkyNews feed fron fibre optic, not sure about HongKong though am from Singapore.....the SKY News available on Starhub is the 4:3 SD version beamed out from Asiasat 3. We never had the chance to see SKY News in HD! see the diagram below, singapore got direct fibre link from London, how come no direct link from London to KL?
For the recently NHK World TV, Starhub also offered a SD 4:3 cut-out version instead.....probably to save bandwidth. More info can be obtain from the following:1. http://www.hkba.hk/en/doc/channel_list_eng.pdf [page 10-13 lists out the services being broadcasted from broadcasters based in Hong Kong like Turner, FOX/STAR, TVB etc. 2. www.skynewsinternational.com Have a query here and am curious to find out....is the BPL 3D match on Astro Supersports 3D also taken from SKY SPORTS 3D like mio stadium here??

The proposed ruling from broadcasting authority, MDA, is that there will not be any exclusive contracts with program/rights providers like ESPN, BPL etc. Hence, Starhub & SingTel can both carry BPL or ESPN or FOX News etc. on their own platforms. However, this ruling has met with objections from the broadcasters as this would mean they cannot "sell" their channel to the highest bidder -- less $$ for them to pocket. This ruling still has yet to come into effect due to these objections. I notice some similarity between Astro & Starhub....in order to block their competitor to offer full-time channels of other channel, the dirty strategy is that they buy exclusive rights to 1/2 or 1/3 of programs on the channels to "feed" their in-house channel. e.g. by "buying" exclusive programs blocks of Eurosports News, Astro effectievly blocked Eurosports News to offer the 24/7 Eurosports Channel to providers like Hypp TV or DETV. Starhub bought exclusive programs from Taiwan Channel, San Lih TV, hence SingTel is unable to bring in this channel to SingTel subscribers as a chunk of the San Li TV programs are exclusive to Starhub.

If it cheap, then no problem..but if its expensive, football fans and consumers are ultimately losing out either by not subscribing to one of the 2 providers or just pay.. What I think is the best solution is like what the ruling state..the rights goes to the channels, i.e ESPN and that channel is provided by both providers..thats what happens now in the UK with Sky Sports and ESPN sharing the rights for the EPL but Sky is still providing ESPN on the platform.. N here, everytime I hear Astro's host Jason Dasey say 'This match is exclusively live only on Astro', it makes me wanna throw up..he keeps saying that like over and over again throughout the whole season.. What I would like to see is the IMG Premier League channel take over all broadcast of the Premire League coverage here so those Richard Keys, Andy Gray, martin Tyler, wannabes would watch he shows instead of being on it.. I really hope we can get to see John Dykes and his gang than the wannabes Astro gives us week in week out..At least in Singapore, its equally divided between the local production and international production..

U're right of course, and this will further take the discussion OT, so if need be let's continue via PM. This is my last say on this matter.However, u need to remember something, Astro is not a charitable organization, their main responsibility to their shareholder is making profit. The fact that there is exclusivity is not their fault. There are authorities that shd oversee that. Exclusivity/special deals/fringe benefits or lock out of competitors are all ways for companies to maximize their chances for survival, however, the correct authorities shd put checks/balances in place to minimize the impact to the people. Still even in advanced countries, it happens. Its no excuse, but it happens. In some countries they legalize such things by calling it lobbying etc...but in ours its not. So companies use other means. Someone shd have said no before. There are some "priviliged" companies that get away with a lot worse. Its a fact. Blaming Astro for is seems like barking up the wrong tree. They do not owe it to anyone to do it, however, its the relevant authorities that hold the licenses rights that shd ensure that the commoners like us are not screwed. Still smileguy, I admire ur resolute posts and u hv been unwavering in ur comments towards them. If only the right people had stopped these before it got this far (in my opinion not Astro) it would have been better. Not perfect becoz there will be still complaints, but better. |

QUOTE(smileguy @ May 5 2011, 06:18 AM) Yes finally u shed light on a matter which needed some confirmation. The so called dirty strategy, Astro is famous for that,so many channels hv been blocked this way by astro ! Have money wl travel,how true ?Although starhub does the same thing but it gives variety not like Astro,here we are doomed!We pay so much for so little !SETANTA Sports too is now under Astro's control on channel 811 ! 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..

NEW CHANNEL ON ASTRO..BABY TV - CHANNEL 614
It suddenly popped up on my EPG while watching Disney at 12.15 am..so what is this new channel? Available to all for Preview from May 9.. From 1 Oct, available at RM5/month.. Wtf? What package is that gonna be in? Dont tell me the channel alone costs RM5 per month? More channels to come along? Or is this a direct replacement for Playhouse Disney?

QUOTE(dxjb @ May 6 2011, 12:15 AM) NEW CHANNEL ON ASTRO..BABY TV - CHANNEL 614 Hah! I predicted this will happen sooner or later. This one was predicted using logical sense (BabyTV = Fox owned = News Corp = Astro). And TM has the competing BabyFirst TV in their lineup.QUOTE(dxjb @ May 6 2011, 12:15 AM) Wtf? What package is that gonna be in? Dont tell me the channel alone costs RM5 per month? I don't see why not. Dish (Fox owned US provider) is charging US$5 a month for the channel. Although it's listed under Fun package on Astro...QUOTE(dxjb @ May 6 2011, 12:15 AM) More channels to come along? Or is this a direct replacement for Playhouse Disney? If more channel is coming, I hope Boomerang is next. Latest Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears episodes are on that channel. Not happy about how the 2003/2007 Strawberry Shortcake kena screw by TV9 after Season 3- Season 4 and the 2009 episodes are no-shows on that channel. Comparatively I was in JB last year and Season 4 was already showing on TCS Okto. Yes, it was on Disney, but Disney lost the rights to Cartoon Network who then put it on their sister network Boomerang.As for replacement for Playhouse Disney/Disney Jr, well, if they have the guts to take Chuggington and Thomas away from the kids. I predict they'll only bring in HD version of the channel to "encourage" parents to get B.yond. That's pretty much the only HD Kids channel available in Asia at the moment.

What I ws trying to say was that since Playhouse Disney is on the way to be changed to Disney Jr, maybe Astro think its not worth it to bring out a HD channel for the kids especially Disney Jr..maybe thats why they decided, 'we gonna do away with Disney Jr/Playhouse and put another channel to replace it without needing it to be HD..?

Although Asstro better be prepared for backlash if they chose to not switch to Disney Jr as well. Dish tried to replace BabyFirst TV with Baby TV and they kena hentam teruk by thousands of irate parents. Trust me, kids are not as simple minded as they look. When they grow to like a character, and you take it away, they will throw a nonstop tantrum. And if there's one thing parents hate, it's nonstop tantrum. Especially in the US, if you even so pukul the budak to threaten them to shut up, and nosy neighbors or teacher find out, they will call social services who will decide that you are not worthy of having children and rampas the kid to be given to rumah anak yatim. In the end Dish not only have to put back BabyFirst TV, but they make it permanently a free channel. Especially after losing a few customers to local cable.QUOTE(khairulnizam @ May 6 2011, 09:18 AM) boleh terangkan baby tv masuk kat pakej apa? fun ke? saya x faham bermula 1 oktober its available at rm5/month...bukan ikut pakej ke Afaik, Astro list it as Fun package.

QUOTE KUALA LUMPUR 10 Mei – Telekom Malaysia Bhd. ™ hari ini berkata, tindakan saingannya memperkenalkan Protokol Internet Televisyen (IPTV) tidak menjejaskan khidmat nilai tambah yang ditawarkan kepada pelanggan jalur lebar berkelajuan tinggi (HSBB) syarikat itu. Menurut Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan TM, Datuk Seri Zamzamzairani Mohd. Isa, perkhidmatan nilai tambah TM memiliki kekuatan tersendiri untuk terus menjadi pilihan para pelanggan. Katanya, perkhidmatan IPTV yang ditawarkan itu memiliki rangkaian holistik dan lengkap untuk golongan dengan gaya hidup yang bergantung kepada teknologi baru, Internet dan komunikasi suara. Malah, katanya, kelebihan IPTV miliknya memberi kebebasan kepada pelanggan untuk memilih rangkaian mengikut pilihan mereka. ‘‘IPTV kami merupakan perkhidmatan tambah nilai untuk pelanggan jalur lebar berkelajuan tinggi (HSBB) dan ia memenuhi keinginan rakyat Malaysia untuk rancangan hiburan yang berkualiti dengan memberi mereka pelbagai saluran dan program atas permintaan. ‘‘Yang penting kami tidak akan ‘memaksa’ pelanggan untuk membeli rangkaian IPTV, itu kelebihan kami,’’ katanya selepas mesyuarat agung tahunan dan mesyuarat luar biasa TM di sini hari ini. Beliau berkata demikian bagi mengulas mengenai pandangan TM mengenai perkhidmatan IPTV oleh Astro melalui Astro B.yond IPTV. http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y...at&pg=ko_05.htm |

I dont see much difference except no HD fees, its 110.95+12.95+9.95 right ?,or maybe u get only Citra as a complmentary from the mustika pack ,pls confirm that.If that is so then it is not a big saver afterall cos u wl pay 110.95+ 9.95+ 20! This is my guess only! IMaybe HD waived for a year !

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? QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ May 16 2011, 05:07 PM) This is NOT competition.

Unfortunately here, including Singapore (correct me if I'm wrong) they provide only exclusive right to ONE provider only per country. I don't think so. When I contact BBC they say that they're interested in making their channels available to multiple providers in the same country. Also, their channels is indeed available across two different providers providers in Hong Kong. Also, Australia Network is available across multiple providers in Malaysia (Astro and Unifi HyppTV). Same for Mediacorp CNA (DETV and Unifi HyppTV). So it must be something else i.e. refusal to bow to Astro's "Exclusive Availability" clause or Astro's just being anal. Or maybe as someone else said, it's all political. QUOTE(mr_faidhi @ May 16 2011, 06:08 PM) And how come this sooo called "monopoly" broadcaster do not get the right to give this channel to byonder?

Astro just wants to control SPORTS,thats where the $$$$$ is,it is NOT interested in adding more variety and HD. Giving exclusive rights to them was the biggest mistake of all,TM is busy adding more variety better then astro infact,but sad to see its moving TOOOOOOOOOOO slow!

Just wanna give opinion on "EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS"..theres such a fuss about giving exclusive rights to Astro la, give to TM la, give other provider la..some say mistake to give Astro, some say TM should get more rights..well..get this, both providers are business empires and have no interest to be friendly to each other..
Read some pages back where I had some talk with one of the forummers regarding exclusive rights in Singapore..there is supposed to be a rule in the making that bans any exclusive rights to any providers..but the problem is, the provider dont wanna share the rights for fear that their revenue n profits might be reduced.. For example, Astro dont wanna share EPL rights with TM coz they fear if they let them have it, they migght lose some of their subscribers..same goes to TM..they arent angels either..they would do the exact same thing if they acquire any content that are popular..so for those who think TM will give u better things, ur just dreaming big..both companies are money suckers.. Ultimately, it falls back on policies and politics..we all know both Astro and TM are companies heavily backed by the government..so unless government ministers and officials, start 'feeling and living' like normal rakyat, they dont know what on earth consumers feel..and I even doubt that, even if they knew, their heads are just filled with money making and power control issues to even consider making Astro and TM to share things like content and channel rights.. Thats us..1Malaysia..feel the love..feel the pain.. This post has been edited by dxjb: May 17 2011, 09:20 PM |

Good Points.Astro tried the same strategy in Indonesia ,public outcry prevented it and astro was shown the door out. Here they accomplish whatever cos of full govt backing and support. When we see things it seems now astro wld be the sole sports provider! |

Imagine what would happen if Astro couldn't get exclusive rights for sports channels, it would bring a serious competition to them especially when a lot of cafes, mamaks and public areas are using Astro to drive customers in.

But I still feel business wl be as usual cos local tv wld carry the matches too. This wld benefit the middle class and poor who want to watch a good game FOC! Exclusive rights ruined this,this is what most of us are against. They hv joined the govt's fleet of channels by carrying sports and Tutor Tv! Remember TV pendidikan,what happened to that ?Now u hv to subscribe to astro to get a similiar channel !

But people..we have to be careful for what we wish for..when we start crying out loud in anger for another provider to carry sports such as football and EPL, u should have a proper and strategic plan that benefits the consumer..what most people dont realise is that competition for astro and their exclusive rights could burden the consumer even more..
I have said this time and time again an Im sure most of u already have heard this before..but having two providers could make u pay double for what u want..again I take Singapore for example..they have 2 providers and in recent years, the rights for the EPL have changed hands on numerous occasions..and look what has happened now..u pay one provider for the EPL and u pay another provider for other football leagues and also sports..football fans would hate this..u pay Astro to watch EPL then u also need to pay TM to watch Champions League.. n im not only talking about sports..other examples are already happening now in Malaysia between Astro and TM..some people pay Astro for a content or channel they like there but they also pay TM for something they like there..and how much would that cost u? So do u really think 2 providers is the ultimate answer? Hell no.. People here blame Astro for having exclusive rights to this and that..at the same time people are saying TM should do this and that so that Astro will go bankrupt..how certain are u that TM wont do the monopoly business like Astro are doing once they acquire exclusive rights..? How certain are u those rights acquired wont lead to a price increase..? My point is, with these 2 business empires and money sucking moguls at play with the gov backing, there is no guarantee that we the consumer will be the beneficiary of having 2 providers and so on..the only thing that could start the wind of change is for the 2 providers to have the same content and rights..and then its up to them to fix the best price that can outdo their rivals..this way, its up to the consumers to pick which provider gives u the best content, package and price without having to worry about the content the other provider has..this would also stop the need for consumers to pay for two providers for content they wish to see.. will this happen? Not likely unless someone from the government actually 'fights' for the 'rights' of the rakyat..until then, we will continue to bow down to both TM and Astro's business masterplan..

That's the stupid thing about exclusive rights. Ideally, exclusive rights should be banned so firms can't use them to "force" people to subscribe to their service. If any firm can buy the (non-exclusive) rights to say the EPL, consumers couldn't be held to ransom with ridiculous prices as they would just jump ship and enjoy the same content.I have said this time and time again an Im sure most of u already have heard this before..but having two providers could make u pay double for what u want..again I take Singapore for example..they have 2 providers and in recent years, the rights for the EPL have changed hands on numerous occasions..and look what has happened now..u pay one provider for the EPL and u pay another provider for other football leagues and also sports..football fans would hate this..u pay Astro to watch EPL then u also need to pay TM to watch Champions League.. n im not only talking about sports..other examples are already happening now in Malaysia between Astro and TM..some people pay Astro for a content or channel they like there but they also pay TM for something they like there..and how much would that cost u?

QUOTE(THEALB10N @ May 18 2011, 08:20 PM) That's the stupid thing about exclusive rights. Ideally, exclusive rights should be banned so firms can't use them to "force" people to subscribe to their service. If any firm can buy the (non-exclusive) rights to say the EPL, consumers couldn't be held to ransom with ridiculous prices as they would just jump ship and enjoy the same content. It can happen. Just not over here.However, I highly doubt that would ever happen... Such practice is actually already illegal in Canada. It's just too bad our gomen muka $$$ and will not pass laws that aid the rakyat. |

hi,
I have two astro accounts (SD) previously, now wanna upgrade one of it to B.yond. They came to change satellite dish and one decoder. Prob is now old astro decoder(SD) cannot receive signal at all. However, if you use B.yond decoder, signal is very strong. I called Astro and they told me my old decoder can still work with new satellite dish. Anyone has encountered a similar problem? Astro's solution to me is that I change my other decoder to B.yond as well, but my that TV don't have HDMI. Then they say once i change my decoder, have to get the HD channels too. Why are they forcing me to get HD when my TV can't support HD? What about those new accounts who subscribe to normal SD astro? Thanks. |

can you check, if you watch SD channel on your byond, both old and new decoders will have no interference, problem occurred only when you are watching HD channel on your byond, right?
then call astro stating that you need a 2-output LNB, no long can share single LNB with splitter because HD channel is using higher LO frequency you may not like it because they will need to lay another cable for your second decoder |

But after a month of usage when I called them to cancel, they said that I can only cancel after 1 year due to 1 year commitment contract which I have never signed on before or after the installation.

I just saw the Stadium Astro's 'Something Big Is Coming' advertisement..looks pretty nailed on that its for the Malaysian FA Cup Final match between Kelantan and Terengganu..the big giveaway is the Astro workers arriving at Stadium Nasioanl Bukit Jalil..
Since it could be the 1st local football match to be broadcast in HD, I think thats where the BIG occasion suits in..and I dont know bout this but since Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are coming to play Malaysia in July, are Astro making this Kelantan- Terengganu match as their launchpad of local football in HD? Certainly hope so..imagine the number of new HD and Byond customers they would add if they offer weekly local football in HD..its certainly more money in the eyes of the monstaer Astro..
