Hi, may I know anyone have minor subtitle problem like me with one HD. Whenever I record down into pvr and play back, it doesn't have Chinese subtitle for me to choose... Only english and Malay available. But if I watch without record, I can pick English, Malay and Chinese subtitle. Does anyone have same problem like me?

My animax recorded programme have English subtitle but no Chinese subtitle, same as my one HD recorded programme. I guess they have mess up the things since last update(around jan)... File complaint but haven't heard from them till now...

GOASEAN TV will start airing in Malaysia in June 2015 on Astro channel 737. It will be aired 24/7, showcasing destinations and tourism products in different concepts and formats to suit a variety of interests, from tourism trivia, travel news and documentaries to travel reality shows.

Still no HD for CNN and BBC?

They are now anticipating hiking perhaps,most likely those channels maybe Add Ons, cos to them the current pack is cheap dy! For channels under subscribed like News packs dont expect  increase in HD channels.............now the strategy is Add On. BTW seems like the good old days are over for asstro with the customers struggling to make ends meet astro is a waste,thanks to the corrupted regime  BN ! Many of their tele marketers have been sacked dy!

Just checking Mediacorp channels on Wikipedia and I noticed all mediacorp channels have been assigned Channel Numbers and are coming soon on astro

fox sport 2 & 3 in HD ? 

I didn't read anything about new channels in this article? 

She (Rozana) said Astro aimed to continuously develop its e-commerce value proposition to meet the growing online shopping demand and capture more household consumers through its free satellite TV proposition, NJOI, which is set to introduce a new Malay HD channel this June.

The article talked about how their ARPU has increased. Everyone knows how to increase ARPU if subscription fees increase on yearly basis. Just recently, Golf Channel was removed From Sport Pack.

The reality is, even the pay TV industry had a challenging year. Astro’s TV ad revenue fell 2.3% to RM327.2mil for the financial year ended Jan 31, 2015, it said when announcing its fourth quarter results to Bursa Malaysia on Monday.

They want to absorb GST

Nope. not going to absorb GST

We look forward to the launch of SPARK ASIA, a HD Asian documentary channel, madepossible by the joint partnership between Astro, SPARK and Moving Visuals in October 2014

THE prices of goods and services should not be going up a full 6% once the Goods and Services Tax (GST) kicks in come April 1, says the Customs Department, adding that the resulting impact on household expenditure should be an increase of just 0.58% to 1%.

Its GST director Datuk Subromaniam Tholasy says this is due to the nature of the GST, which allows businesses to pass cost savings down the supply chain by claiming for their input costs.

Giving an example, he says that based on Customs’ projections, Astro’s prices, which currently have a 6% service tax, should come down as it would enjoy more cost savings.

“Astro’s input costs which are currently not claimable would become claimable. So the cost of doing business will come down a little and I expect a slight drop in prices. The extent of savings would depend on the type of business,” he tells The Star.

Subromaniam says businesses also currently pay the 6% service tax for their costs such as audit fees, as well as 10% for goods such as furniture and office equipment, all of which are not claimable under the current tax system.

“As for water and Astro, our computation shows that there should be 0.72% and 0.64% savings respectively,” he said, noting that this was despite Astro being a standard-rated service.

However, once the GST kicks in, he points out that any costs related to business would be claimable as input tax and businesses would be able to save costs this way.

It's Day 1 of GST's implementation and NO, ASTRO is not cutting the subscription fees down, instead additional 6% is now attached to PVR & On-the-GO subscription which were previously not subject to tax. You get it all wrong, sir.
