QUOTE(krel89 @ Feb 16 2014, 08:24 PM) it is free preview.. from 1 November until 15 February for "appreciation" as astro customer Yes, and together with the removal of FFM/FFM HD, they also removed ONE SD CH 395. Genius way to force people to subscribe to FAMILY HD/ HD PACK and change to BYOND decoders. Clever clever Astro. but, it also has its other story which is they increased the price for family pack and sport pack.. so to cover it up, they just tell you its a "gift"  |

SURPRISE SURPRISE! ASTRO HAS UPPED THE PRICE FOR NJOI TO RM328 (INCLUSIVE OF RM100 INSTALLATION FEE) & RM428 (INCLUSIVE OF RM100 INSTALLATION FEE). VERY "AFFORDABLE" FREE TV. UK'S FREESAT CAN LEARN A LOT FROM NJOI.

QUOTE(azrin_kiko @ Mar 9 2014, 11:26 PM) Hmm.. if astro letterboxed the 16:9 feed, have you tried using the aspect ratio button on the remote to LD expand it? THE PICTURE QUALITY OF MOST OF ASTRO CHANNELS IS A DISGRACE ESPECIALLY MEDIA PRIMA CHANNELS. ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, REGARDING ABNXCESS & HYPPTV, ASTRO IS NOT AFRAID TO KEEP ON RAISING THE FEES BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT ABNXCESS IS A BLUFF WHILE IPTV WILL TAKE FOREVER TO REACH THE WHOLE COUNTRY. BESIDES, POPULAR CONTENTS/CHANNELS ALREADY SIGNED EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH ASTRO. |

QUOTE(chuppachop @ Mar 10 2014, 09:56 PM) Fyi only. AniPlus HD launches this Fri on mio TV. But the coming soon slide is in SD stretched. Ha ha. Cheers. Nice one. BTW, does MIO TV have HBO channels too? Are movie channels excluded from the "cross-carriage" rule between Starhub & MIOTV? |

THE MINISTER, ACTING IN DEFENSE OF ASTRO...AGAIN. BUT WHAT HE PURPOSELY/UNINTENTIONALLY LEFT OUT ARE:
1. THE SUBSTANTIVE AMOUNT OF REPEATS OF PROGRAMS SINCE ANTIQUITY 2. MORE THAN HALF OF ASTRO CHANNELS ARE IN-HOUSE CHANNELS 3. THE NUMBER OF ASTRO SUBSCRIBERS ARE GROWING INTENSIVELY. THIS WILL ALLOW THEM TO COVER THE COSTS 4. ASTRO IS NOT COMMERCIAL FREE. SPORTING EVENTS ARE USUALLY SPONSORED BY TM, MAXIS ETC & COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS CAN BE SEEN IN ALL CHANNELS.

Despite the fact that in Singapore, World Cup 2014 will be made available on both MioTV & Starhub while Astro has "exclusive rights" to the event in Malaysia, it's a relief that 24 live matches & 11 delayed matches will be made available on RTM. Besides, all ASTRO subscribers can also catch 35 out of 64 matches live on ASTRO ARENA although they do not subscribe to the SPORT PACK. We're luckier than Singaporeans as FTA channels carry only opening,quarter, semi & final matches.
Nevertheless, I'm afraid that RTM World Cup feed on HYPPTV & ABNXCESS will be blacked out again. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(smileguy @ Mar 14 2014, 07:26 PM) The game was all IPTV problems were directed to Time,TM and Maxis who carry the cables,while astro plays safe ,they are not a direct party, the burden rests on the other 3 in the event of poor services/speed! As days went by maxis felt the heat when many terminated services The main problem is maxis fibre is dependent on tm infrastructure while it's content is dependent on astro's content. It can't set up high speed broadband and iptv on its own |

While other service providers in the neighboring countries (Starhub, MioTV, Truevisions, GMM etc) launch more channels, ASTRO does the opposite and the latest one to be axed is Jia Yu channel. World class award winning service at its best.

ASTRO to add 8 HD channels & 12 SD channels this year. I think they can do better than that but adding 20 channels in a year in itself is a record for ASTRO. But one question remains, will we see better picture quality on Astro's SD channels?
[EDIT] Current channels which already have HD version but Astro has yet to bring them to their platform 1. FOX HD 2. NAT GEO WILD HD 3. CARTOON NETWORK HD 4. E! HD 5. CNN HD 6. DIVA UNIVERSAL HD 7. LIFETIME HD Well, did I miss any channel? Kindly add to the list. This post has been edited by izwanikhsan: Apr 1 2014, 08:09 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Qash-M @ Apr 1 2014, 09:35 PM) I hope for same thing too, probably after they adjust the SD channels frequency to DVB-S2 MPEG4, same as current HD one. Also, you've missed Damn, so many channels in ASTRO platform already have HD version and they can only bring 8? I'm afraid that out of 8, there'll be some home-cooked in-house channels too!1. ITV Choice HD 2. Phoenix Chinese Channel HD 3. Phoenix Info News HD 4. BBC World News HD 5. Discovery Science HD 6. Crime and Investigation Network HD 7. Discovery Home and Health HD 8. Discovery Turbo HD 9. Cinemax HD 10. Golf Channel Asia HD |

1. TrueVisions added 34 new HD channels in a year. Here, we are happy enough to be offered 12 SD & 8 HD channels.
2. All 50 TrueVisions HD channels will broadcast with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 Surround. Here, we still complain about Astro's SD channels' picture & audio quality. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Qash-M @ Apr 7 2014, 08:06 PM) Bandwidth is the key. This also explains why Astro is unable to broadcast this year Wrestlemania in HD, unlike last year. Reduce some Astro First, Astro Best & Astro On Demand channels! Ops! That's where the easy money are. |
