Maybe ABN should take satellite business to, if their using better dish & better signal (C-Band, S-Band). icon_idea.gif  brows.gif

Bro ,I think satelite launching ,leasing and maintainence is too costly ,rain fade another serious issue but cable is cheaper costs, as ABN says then can offer the same contents in asstro and more for lesser price,cos of cheaper costs. :hmm:If all goes fine i think ABN should be able make asstro behave.and we may see different channels like in MIOTV and STARHUB,with chepaer pricing.

Astro's SD is F..... up and its HD is not perfect either! In my 15 years with astro I dont think thats possible,if they attend to you in 48 hours well good for u,but I wonder what they can do to make SD better ..... hmm.gif keep us updated. If u cannot get SD channels then its the dish alignment which took 2 weeks for astro to send a installer/technician to my cousin's place.

As expected from Starhub.  brows.gif Asstro should learn from them. sweat.gif

Astro is very greedy,it wl only add channels which wl do business with them.Most of Indian channels hv been malaysianised,airtime sold to advertisers here,so the programmes are repacked to allow this,and channels which dont allow this cannot enter its platform. Astro owns 20% of suntv.To protect suntv and advertising revenue no other channel which wl give suntv a competetion wl be allowed.The same goes with our zeetv and B4U,its all controlled by astro indirectly.This is not allowed in singapore.This is why asto has to make do with limited content. nod.gif More channels may just remain a dream in malaysia as long astro monopolises the market.Channels which can debut in two weeks in other countries takes two years to be on astro,just bcos they hv to agree to deals first! doh.gif Another thing we all can see they are not interested in adding new channels but keen to launch ABO'S,and AF all they want $$$$$$$$ thats all!! Astro wl be astro cos its malaysia Starhub wl be starhub cos its singapore,its compete and win situation there.Here just carry the ruling govt, doh.gif

You can also get RTM HD from UHF, but you need a DVB-T2 decoder. Good luck finding one tho, TVs that only come with DVB-T1 are just starting to show up on the market :/

Even I don't have a DVB-T2 decoder.

They should simulcast RTM HD in DVB-T1. It can be done, Australia is using DVB-T1 for HD.

AS for ABN, I hope it publishes a channel list soon so I can decide if I should buy a HDMI switch.

Yes bro we are all having high hopes,just awaiting ABN to launch hopefully nationwide,no matter what I wl say bye2 to asstro,cannot stand malaysianised channel offerings for such a high price..

One thing I hate about fiber optic tho: slow rollout. Wait for UniFi for over a year before they finally come. I thought ABN use C-Band or encrypted DVB-T like what I saw on a website. If they use Fiber, then they're sure to fail unless they also piggyback on TM's existing fiber, and even then they still cannot get as far as Assteruk. I really cannot see how they can promise lightning fast rollout if it even takes TM over one year just to come to Klang, and even now coverage in rest of Malaysia is still s#!t. ABN will fold up before they can even leave Puchong.

I also sick of Malaysianized offerings already. And Astro already have local in house channel. When I tune in to Disney, I want US shows. I dun want more local shows.

Well said ,we are all sick of astro's malaysianised versions, all the channels have lost their glory under astro's skirt! Even streamyx sucks and when then wl Unifi reach all? If ABN is not nationwide then it wl die like MITV for sure. nod.gif

They are capable of giving so many HD channels for their own use and to make money but they are not at all interested in giving more channels and choices to customers. doh.gif

The question now is how about the others who pay 37.95 as entry fee though most of the channels hv been made free,the 18 channels on NJOI shld be free to all too!

Now that I think about it, more like dirty tactic to fight UniFi HyppTV and upcoming ABN. Since if you get UniFi, TM give free access to 20 basic channels. Although you have to pay monthly for the Internet, the basic channels are free.

I think UniFi are of little concern to them as of now since you still need to pay for the Internet tho- I suspect their target victim is ABN.

They've done this dirty tactic before... Free decoder and installation when MITV came up to challenge them. Remember that? Remember what happen?

They really dun have to worry tho- ABN relying on fiber optic means that their roll out will be so slow people will get tired of waiting and abandon them before they can even leave Puchong.

Agreed! wat wl be interesting is when comes to rain fade astro wl lose out! njoi is politics,with such an offering though FOC i doubt many wl be interested,advertisemnt revenue wl be enough for astro,to cover njoi!I still feel good times are over with maxis iptv,unifi,and abn coming in,they cant hold with sports for too long,as it is many are pissed off with its selection of matches. tongue.gif

Exactly !! if only all the other players took off nationwide ,astro wl be be suffocated to death,but by moving like a snail the players are digging own graves!
Mitv could hv given astro a good shake ,but it wound up after getting what it wanted!the last hope to make things better for all lies on ABN!
