Is there any chance of TM adding more channels to Unifi TV in the future?
I'm more into Asian content like korean but there's only TVN and it's the SEA version which doesn't have as much content as the original TVN, also come with annoying ads from Unifi itself that sometimes can take longer than the usual ad time until the show already started, would be great if they could add more Korean channels like KBS and SBS.
Otherwise, might have to go for other streaming services like Viu since it's just 10 bucks and has all I need.

QUOTE(Mr Loh A+ @ Oct 14 2018, 11:54 PM) Unifi TV is a pay-TV platform, not OTT. Not all channels on Astro are exclusive because the exclusive rights are extremely expensive, however, Astro will choose certain channels (such as HBO and TVB) and gain the exclusive rights, so no other pay-TV provider can carry these channels and contents. So, you may need to wait for those contracts to expire and see whether Unifi TV is willing to pay and carry those premium channels.  It happened to FOX channels in the beginning of this year, so it may happen again since Astro may want to reduce the cost of their content (and prefer to invest in their in-house programmes).  That explains a lot! Thanks for the enlightenment!
