It's been a long time since Astro introduced new channels.

asstro is more to leasing transponders business,at the moment they are at a dead end,dont expect anything new ! The smart squirrel had a fall, rclxms.gif they are now living on sports alone as for almost 20 yrs of limited repeated content and made for malaysia content msians are fed up,there is nothing great or new ! tongue.gif

i think they should free their bandwidth by replacing their astro first and astro best service into OD. they are wasting their bandwidth to open those channels which less people watching

from what I understand there are filthy rich customers who are faithfull to AF & AB !! smile.gif With their huge subscriber base all needed is just 20% to buy those, and the channels survived all these years

There are 7 channels in Jade Pack...



Even if I were to totally terminate my Ass-tro subscription, will 30% or more subscribers walk out together with me, hand-in-hand terminating all their subscriptions? Unfortunately, mass termination IS the only way to force Ass-tro to improve BUT I don't expect that to happen loh! There are Worker's Unions and whatever unions that work together as a group to protect its members benefits. This is what is happening for the Junior Doctors Strike in England. Astro Subscribers Union? Nah... won't happen as most Ass-tro subscribers won't cooperate in the first place. Need someone to start this Ass-tro Subscribers Union? Me? Nope, not me... in fact no one will start it because of so many various valid reasons.

Now, back to Jade pack. Will anyone (except maybe the filthy rich folks) pay xxxxxxtra RM 15.90 for this Jade Pack. Only you can answer yourself.

Over and out.

James malaysians are very forgetful ! If only 20% sports customers quit astro is crippled! As I said earlier all it takes is just abt 30% to subscribe to all the packs plus AB and AF ! They have that amount of filthy rich customers who digest everything without complain! Look how 1 million customers left Maxis we need the same force here,to make them behave! That will never happen ,just like how BN keeps winning despite scandals biggrin.gif

This is what we want,we want asstro to give its repeated content services to all msians at less then RM100.Nothing on asstro is worth more then Rm100! Maxis and astro do have dirty tactics hidden,be cautious!

whichever channel which comes to asstro has to lick asstro's boots first.All channels let it be english,tamil or chinese once when into astro they are made slaves,the line up is organised by astro to enable airtime to be sold locally to advertisers. For Indian line up its the same they do a JV and then all programmes are line up by asstro and airtime is sold locally.Asstro has two bites of the cherry ,we cant expect much from dirty businessmen! As I have said earlier they have a huge customer base, all they need is abt 30% who never complain and they win!

Even telcos have come to their senses and have slashed their rates but this bloody ass is so greedy and still arrogant. Anything above rm80 for that ass is too much! Many have given up asstro,nobody cares if they add channels or not.They will add a rojak JV channel,sell airtime locally for advertising and msians are fed up and asstro isnt a priority anymore ,we hv other sources!

Pls note that Mediacorp channels are exclusive for singapore only,they cannot go on satelite cos of rights issues. RTM can go to singapore bcos there is absolutely NOTHING!Miotv was desperate to allow astro channels into singapore to get malay and indian customers there,Miotv is not popular there! Asstro wants control over everything,Their awani is nausea try CNA its far better then CNN!

I see. Do you know why Astro charge that expensive for Jade pack? Mainly is because they want to earn more profit. Last time, Astro will increase any packages price as they like once every year within 2011 until 2014. It is believed that this angered many customers, so Astro came out a new strategy. That is, launch new channels in a package and charge expensively, so that only the minorities of customers that interested to subscribe the newly introduced will tend to complain of overpriced package. You can also refer this Jade pack like the Golf Channel, Setanta Sports, etc. Last time just because Astro wants to earn more profit, whenever Astro announces price hike, all customers will be affected. So this new strategy will help Astro to "cover" the profit as much as possible. I would say, Astro is not being loyal to customers. They monopolised the Malaysian pay tv market and they can do whatever they like to gain more endless profits. Money is everything to Astro, and they put your Astro bill payment as No. 1 priority. Late payment will result in account suspension. So next time, if you wonder why Astro charge this and charge that, you'll now know why.

Asstro is always a winner, it has about 20 - 30 % customers from its large customer base who are filthy rich,buy whatever and they watch or not they , keep paying without any fuss for years,If you notice they are not interested to bring new channels,improve their STB box,move to MPEG4,3D,UHD,better sound options,etc etc.They are more to leasing transponders business. They have more then a dozen channels repeating content since 1996! bangwall.gif Due to so many other sources they are losing chinese and indian customers by the day,besides the 30% rich customers they are supported by malay and sports customers biggrin.gif

Asstro will only launch channels which will sign deals with them and agree to buy their rotten kitchen stuffs,no channels can disturb their In House channels and also Celestial Movies!

Request for termination. The officer said I need to settle the last bill. Proceed with payment via call using my credit card. I was asked the reason for termination. Sarcastically replied that there are too many repeats and overpriced packages. Account will be disconnected in 30 days. Now I have extra RM100+/- to deposit to my ASB account every month.

good job,we need many more msians like you, cut off asstro for at least for 6 months to cripple asstro biggrin.gif

the question is why satelite for malaysia? Why not cable?Why limit to 65cm dish? Dirty business politics,to lease transponders for big money at the expense of customers. So many satelites launched by astro and its not that they are giving us 500 channels but Rojak channels less then 200 with more then half made in their kitchen!A decent pack costs at least rm200 inclusive rain fade! Excuse on rain fade is not acceptable!

There is another catch here,why 65 cm? Asstro/MMC can easily catch culprits,whoever using abv 65 is asking for trouble,they can easily be located and investigated. There were many selling abv 65cm dishes now u may google none is selling cos it seems all abv 65 not allowed to be sold.MMC works for asstro. Asstro has reached a dead end.There will never be channel addition,feature upgrades,basically nothing.Their box is outdated with no good superb features. 5.1 to stereo where is the Auto option? Where is the sound decorder option? They survive just on monopoly

90cm dish can solve rain fade,but if 90cm allowed then they cannot track what we are watching ass or something else cos 90cm dish is good enough to get many satelites up there! So with 65cm asstro is comfortable we cant do much! My friend Using 65 for a service,can get HD can watch 500 over channels but if he used 90 NO rain fade and can get UHD ! biggrin.gif We are taken for a ride thats all ranting.gif
