Astro: Price revision is ‘inevitable’

PETALING JAYA: A price revision for Astro subscription rates is “inevitable” in view of escalating content costs, especially for sports content like broadcasting rights for the Barclays Premier League.

Astro chief operating officer Henry Tan said content costs increased from RM760mil in 2007 to RM1.3bil in 2011, with cost over revenue rising from 29% to 35%.

“Customers have the option to make choices. Depending on the choice of packages, some customers will experience an increase, especially if they choose premium content,” he said on Wednesday.

From July 11, Astro customers may experience increases ranging from RM1 to RM15 per month but this will be balanced by savings of RM4 to RM14.95 per month in subscriptions.

The company, however, will maintain the price of its Family Pack at RM37.95 per month with access to 38 channels.

It also launched its Super Packs, designed to offer packages which include high definition and personal video recording services.

“From just one flat price of either RM125 or RM155 depending on the Super Pack chosen, Astro customers will be able to enjoy the benefits of HD and PVR services, and the best of the Plus, Mini, Sports and Movies Packs while benefiting from savings of up to RM74.85,” Tan said.

On criticism about the increased cost when Astro services are still disrupted in the event of rain, Tan said there was no perfect technology behind TV.

“The technology behind satellite TV has its limitations.

“While we have achieved 99.99% efficiency in our uplink transmissions through our broadcast satellites in Bukit Jalil and Cyberjaya, smoothness of transmission largely depends on the local climate.

“Usually, total down time amounts to seven hours a year,” he added.

Tan also said the comment that Astro is a monopoly was unfair as the broadcaster was not the pioneering firm in the pay TV industry.

“We tender for all our broadcasting rights which is a lengthy and regulated procedure.

“The fact that there are others tendering for the rights, too, proves that we are not the only one in the business,” he added.

I noticed that AXN can now select the language subtitle (or make it disappear) instead of hard-code it.

Can I ask people here whether we can do that in discovery and history channel too ?

By the way, I don't subscribe to those channels bcos of the subtitles.
