QUOTE(izz70 @ Feb 23 2015, 03:09 PM) MCMCThe MCMC Slides for Planet Digital does have some insight on some of the channels to be included but probably that is just in planning. Take a look at page 13 of the slide. Seems like Nickelodeon and National Geographic will be in there somewhere, and even Discovery, CNN & Bloomberg is shown there. Hopefully the change is for the better. Sam Irvine of Freeview (NZ I believe) was also one of the presenter. Is that hinting that Freeview is linking up to be on Malaysian FTA TV? If this means more FTA HD channels than njoi one, I'm sold.

We'll make do with the current FTA channels but once it picks up then we will probably end up spolit with too many choices to watch hahhahaha. I can't wait for the launch in June or Sept. Seems like Malaysia is looking to NZ for the implementation.

When is PR going to say this is a crony project and digital television is a waste of money?

This will then open up more joint ventures between multinational networks (Asian, Europe, Oceania & not forgetting the US). I foresee that we will definitely be spoilt for choices. I think the target dates will be pushed back some more as we can see in the slide for the 98% coverage seems to cover a lot of area particularly Sarawak, this will need a lot of investment $$$$$.

Astro Awani probably going to be one of it.
