You can check this link...

But I am not sure whether their prices are the cheapest or not. Also not sure if imitation or original. I am not sure but I think that you can also buy it from shops that "sells new Ass-throw subscriptions".

You can also contact Ass-throw customer service by phone as they do sell it and its 100% original BUT it may be more expensive. I don't know the Ass-throw's price for it.

Last time I got it for free. Just redeem your points at Astro Circle website.

Saw it for 1000 points... It shows the latest model (Black). Can I use it for my current STB ?

any /k know when astro b-yond gonna have new channels?

it`s been like so......long since they introduced new hd channels

Aint happening

Yes, they did only recently... only 1 miserable TVB Jade HD (Channel 326) and 2 SD channels... and its not added to existing Packs. You have to PAY to watch it in the new Jade Pack at ONLY RM 15.90 (with GST) for SuperPack 3 subscribers and RM 53.00 for Wah Pack subscribers. Please search for my previous comments to read why this Jade Pack is a rip-off with overpriced BAD channels in this package.

I think just a few months ago, also added HGTV HD (Channel 731) to... mmm... Metro Pack? You can check which actual Pack from the Ass-throw website.

If you are looking for more new HD Channels in the future.... get ready to PAY MORE to get them in NEW damn Packs. In the future, I think no more new HD channels added to existing packs.

I know about the redeemable points but didn't know it has the remote.

The best person to ask is Ass-throw support on the "black type" remote. Depending on your phone subscription, call charges may apply.

I think we need Astro to launching Astro Xiao Tai Yang HD, TVB J5 HD (Malaysian version),TVB Pearl HD (Malaysian version), Now International HD, Now Jelli HD, Now Baogu HD, Now Hairun and CHK HD.

I think all of us need to protest to Ass-throw NOT to launch anymore new channels. All are rubbish channels which are put into stupid New Packs that are overpriced.

I have discussed it with more than 20 of my friends who will sign with their signature and I will send our protests together to Ass-throw by email. WE are threatening to completely terminate our subscriptions if they continue to launch more channels!

Everyone has the right to request for more new channels.

My group of friends and I also have the right to request NOT to launch any more new channels.

Yeah, I know it won't work BUT I am going to try my damn best to spread this protest out using my friends and friends of my friends to their friends. So I hope people here who feels the same way as I do, to PLEASE do the same.

Will my group grow bigger? Yeah, people will tell me to forget it because nobody can touch Ass-throw and they can do whatever they want. Even when I know that I will fail, I will not stop.

Just like some people (3 times in 1 month already) who will not stop requesting for more channels, I will NOT stop to push out to more people to request Ass-throw to STOP pushing out more new stupid channels. Say NO to any new channels! No more!

I will continue to post my request to Ass-throw to STOP launching new rubbish channels with new overpriced Packs... I will continue posting my request here until everyone here get fed up with me. I don't care. I have the right to post my request too.

Oh, by the way. I found out from many of my friends who told me that most of their children want more new channels. My friends told me... of course they want more because its the parents that pay for it. And many of my friends continue subscribing is also because of their old folks and old relatives. And ALL of my friends that I asked told me almost similar thing to... "what for want more channels? When many are just repeats and repeats, also seldom watch ALL the channels, no time lah... even my wife watch less than my children". Well... I asked them to join my group to protest against more new channels... I will do all the work, they just sign and I put in their names. Of course I cannot get their account number because of security.

You and your group to protest to Astro not to launch anymore new channels is no use!! The Police will catch you and your group because you broke the Government of Malaysia law.

Thank You. Yes, I am so scared, so very scared. Please don't put me in jail for an offense that do not exist for "only protesting to Ass-throw NOT to launch new channels". Are you kidding me? hehehehe.

Maybe you can scare others here but not me. I am not a security threat to the government because I did NOT do any subversive actions that threatens public safety. I am not a terrorist that want to bomb people. I did not protest against our government and I did NOT join the Bersih 4 movement that wants the present Najib to resign.

I did not commit any crime by protesting to Ass-throw.

People from many countries protested against the toothpaste company continuing using the name "Darkie" because of "racist name". Most of those protestors come from the Africans at that time. Finally, the company changed its toothpaste name to "Darlie" since 1989. This is what protest can do to help to make changes eventhough I honestly don't know if all such changes are good or not, or whether its just a stupid change or not. Most malaysians did not bother to protest this to our government at that time. I didn't protest against that company at that time BUT what you mean is that I have broken the law IF I protested to Ass-throw to stop launching new channels? What law, which law and why. You can just say that the police can catch me without mentioning why and for what reason? You did NOT give me any logical reasons, not stupid reasons... which specific law that I have broken and you did not show me any facts to strengthen your claim that the law has been broken.



Wake up! Protesting to Ass-throw is just a consumers action against unfair practices by a commercial establishment. Its not political. I didn't protest for Najib (and anyone in the present government) to resign. I didn't protest for the government to step down and allow for a new and fair general election. I didn't protest with violence and did not organise any protestors to create violence by starting road fires, blocking roads, whatever. I didn't protest to the government to ban or stop Ass-throw, I only protested to Ass-throw NOT to launch any new channels so is there any law against that?

Yes, people can get arrested for violence, for disturbing the peace, for being a national security threat to the country, for damaging properties and even organising a public rally without the proper police permit. So... you mean to say that the police will catch me for protesting to Ass-throw NOT to launch any more new channels? Which law am I breaking? Will that protest create a security threat? Will that protest provoke any violence? Did I organise any rally or acted violently to cause public harm or cause damage to property?

Hehehe... you really make me laugh for saying "the police will catch me for breaking malaysian law". I showed your reply to one of my friends and he also laughed by saying... "that person must be just a kid or teenager who is not matured enough to understand what life is all about!" I quickly scolded my friend NOT to simply guess that the person is a kid and its nothing wrong to be a kid or a teenager to express or say anything here. Eventhough you didn't hear it from my friend, I do apologise to you on his behalf for simply guessing when he doesn't know who you are actually AND also its wrong for him to SIMPLY say that its from an immatured kid.

I always believe that everyone, from a young kid to an old person, do have the right to express their views here. It is our democratic right. Mmm... maybe not political democracy which I will not say anything. Its perfectly okay for people of any age to say something here BUT... when anyone tries to "scare" people by throwing out "blank and empty" comments without explaining any logical reasons or anything to back it up... THEN I WILL definitely answer back with my reasons. I do know that you are NOT stupid enough to reply to me with "the reason that you will be arrested and put into jail is because you have protested so you have broken the law." That... is totally not a reason at all.

As I previously always said before... EVERYONE here have the right to request anything from Ass-throw... you have the right to continue subscribing to Ass-throw... you have the right to request for more new channels... you have the right to even ask Ass-throw to increase the price for more Packs. I will not and have not complained openly, and never tried to stop anyone here becoming a supporter of Ass-throw.

I did NOT say that you cannot request for more channels. I DID NOT say that you (as a supporter of Ass-throw) are bad for me or any group that wants Ass-throw to stop cutting subscribers throats. You also did NOT tell me that I cannot protest or complain against Ass-throw. That's fine and okay. BUT what you have done here is saying that I or my group have committed a crime which WILL get us arrested without giving any reasons to back it up! In my personal view only, you seem to be blindly using blatant scare tactic hoping that I or "my group" can get frightened enough to stop requesting "no more channels"... well, my friend, that will never happen for me. I don't know whether you have "scared" others or not. The fact is... people in the "group against Ass-throw" may NOT even want me to join them because of the way I say things... I accept it.

I have always tried my best to be fair to you because I did NOT say that you cannot request for more channels. You have also been fair to me by not telling me to stop protesting. To be honest, maybe a bit angry by your 3 almost the same request for more new channels in less than 1 month from 15th to 30th May 2016 BUT I did not complain that you cannot post out such requests because I respect your right to request and fully support Ass-throw. Are you really that desperate to try to "push" Ass-throw to launch new channels because you feel nobody noticed you? Is it that important for you that you feel its necessary to repeat almost the same thing in about 2 weeks? I can expect many different people to support launching more new channels. Yes, I don't have the right to tell you not to repeat so many times... in fact, you can even post your requests EVERYDAY... but is it necessary... really? When you have the right to post your requests, I do also have the right to post my requests for a stop to any new channels. I didn't say you cannot post lots of request, and I only said that someone did not stop the requests and so I equally have the right not to stop my requests/protests too. What is wrong with that? I apologize to you if I am wrong here BUT are you trying to tell me that you can post your requests and I cannot post my requests and protests here?

I know that you did NOT complain that I should not or cannot request Ass-throw NOT to launch new channels. But what you did is trying to say things to me that don't make any sense at all... by trying to "scare me" or maybe even threaten me. Because of this, you are simply being unfair to me or "to my group" and is blinded by prejudice in supporting Ass-throw. That is totally unacceptable. I have not broken any forum rules here, did not call people derogatory names, did not write any flaming words against anybody here. If "police will catch you for breaking the law" is proven as trying to threaten people, you may be going against the Rules of this forum and (of course not arrested) maybe banned. Luckily for you, its not proven to be a threat given out because "scaring people" is not against the Rules.

Its silly of you to think that you can try to "scare" me. It won't happen. I will continue to protest EVENTHOUGH everyone says that its useless to complain. Anyone can call me a stubborn fool and I accept that BUT everyone here knows that I DO have the right to protest or give my negative views here eventhough I know that I am barking at a mountain that won't move. However, YOU absolutely do NOT have the right to say that I am breaking the law.. who are you to judge me by saying I have broken the law. Really unfair and ridiculous!!

Of course you can continue to support Ass-throw and continue to request Ass-throw for more new channels. However, I also have the right to protest or complain that Ass-throw do NOT launch any new channels. Also, everyone have the right to choose to ignore all my comments here and don't even reply to my comments. I can accept it because we have that right. But nobody have the right to scare people to keep quiet when they reply with their views by choosing not to ignore it.

Yes, I believe that you are absolutely right to say that the protests from my group and myself is "no use". I really did NOT know that I have joined any group! I speak for myself only and do not represent other peoples views eventhough those views may be the same as mine. I really agree what you have said here BUT its wrong for you to say that I have committed a crime that the police can catch me. Can this action by you on me be regarded as "flaming" against a forum member? Have you broken the forum rules? I don't know because I don't have the right to judge this, only this forum's administrator can decide. In the same way, you have NO right to say that I have quote "...because you broke the Government of Malaysia law." It does NOT make sense at all.

By the way, many people will tell the Bersih supporters against the government that they can get arrested and is totally useless because NOTHING will change. OK... why not you try to tell them directly to stop it because its useless and you will find out what may happen to you. When things are tough, really tough with many challenges and obstacles and it will seem useless to protest and express our views with only 1 percent chance of any change, does it mean that people MUST TOTALLY ACCEPT IT without saying anything and keeping our mouths shut? Look at Nelson Mandela in his fight against Apartheid... did he give up eventhough he was jailed for so so so many years with a very slim chance that he will win. He did win and became one of the world icons in the fight for freedom and equality.

Even if there is that impossible chance of less than 1 percent, should we just keep quiet and blindly accept it without at least letting our views known? I cannot speak for everyone here BUT I won't stop voicing my protests here and through other methods eventhough its impossible and "I admit it" that I still subscribe to Ass-throw so I am equally guilty of supporting Ass-throw. However, what I feel is that the minimum on what I can possibly do is to really put some efforts in protesting to Ass-throw NOT to launch any more new channels ... that's the least that I do... because I feel that more people are more willing NOT to subscribe to new Packs compared to terminating their subscriptions so asking them to protest against new channels is much much easier lah... and its legal too. Your scare tactics don't work on me.

Finally, YES I really don't mind when you said "No, all of you are wrong. The time will not change everything!!" because you may be right here. You do have the right to give your views eventhough there are people who may disagree with you. But I will not stay silent when someone thinks people can easily be scared here.

Maybe that greedy fox knows that its losing subscribers here in Malaysia so it has jumped over the water to acquire 75% share in the Australian Fetch TV. Losing subscribers... I am only guessing lah.

This clearly is just one more example that Ass-throw will not die as it spreads its arms and legs to other countries. NJOI viewers do NOT need to worry that Ass-throw may die without monopoly. As I have said before, Ass-throw is TOO BIG to fall that competition cannot destroy it. For people who fear the death of Ass-throw will come due to competition, this is what I can say..."monopoly exist because of other reasons, its not because of fear for causing As-throw's death.

I don't want Ass-throw to die, I want it to change. Competition can force that change. Yes, its impossible to make Ass-throw change. There is one thing that I can still hope... as Ass-throw continues to treat subscribers badly, "probably" more and more will pull out slowly as time passes by, as consumer pressure continues to build up in Malaysia. Well... I admit that there are also people who are very very loyal to Ass-throw too. Its just a matter of what is the percentage of supporters and the percentage of protestors... so, for the Malaysian people, who will win is up to the majority percentage.

Ironically, I really hope Ass-throw succeed in its investment in Fetch TV because if they failed, I have a "feeling" that the Malaysian subscribers will get hit with price increase or even more repeats, more advertisements and more new lousy Packs with lousy channels. If Fetch TV fails, Ass-throw knows that there are many Malaysian supporters here who do not mind paying lots of money for crap channels and continues to demand for more! Failure or success, I am only making guesses on what will happen later. Do you have that same "feeling" ? I don't know. Only you yourself know.

Thanks for showing the news here.

Hahahaha interesting

Okay, how about you and your group really want to protest Astro, you and your group just go to the Astro Measat Broadcast Network System to protest Astro. Ones you and your group and begin to protest, the police will find out you and your group and call the 3000 of police guards to catch you all.

Thank you for your suggestion. I won't be so stupid enough to create chaos by bringing my friends to Ass-throw which disrupt the peace and give the excuse to the police to arrest us for "disorderly conduct" or "causing harm to public peace". I know a Police permit is needed if a protest rally is organized. I called my police inspector friend to ask him about the required permit. When he asked me about the purpose for the permit, I told him and he laughed so loud until he coughed! This is what he said..."What? Why is that person so **** to challenge you to organize a protest rally for such a minor thing? Forget about it, he said. And why should you get arrested for sending protest emails to Ass-throw to NOT launch new channels?"... This will make me look so stupid if I organized this rally so my police friend is right. I have censored the bad language **** which is bad for him to say that.

No problem for me if you called me a coward, don't have the guts to do it or anything but I will not do what you say. Why should I follow what you say especially when you are trying to make a trap for me to disrupt the public peace. I believe in peaceful protest using emails to Ass-throw and the government, spreading more accurate news to as many people as possible NOT to subscribe to any more new Packs. Oh, by the way, people won't join by going there to protest because its not so important for them. But my friends are willing and can easily accept peaceful protests using the group emails, and, yes... our names and addresses have been given in my protest email to Ass-throw.

From Ass-throw website, there is a link at the bottom of the page for people to make complaints (redress unresolved complaints). This is a link that is compulsory for Ass-throw to put at its website.

http://www.complaint.cfm.org.my/

This is a government agency setup by the Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for helping consumers with complaints.

Early last year, I have already sent them an email with my complaints together with my reasons. I gave my full name, ass-throw account number, my address and even my phone number. After a few days, I received an email that they will be looking into it. Then a month later, they sent me email with their answer that there is no valid grounds for my complaint because there is no fraud or cheating here. I was told to contact Ass-throw personally. Haha... I already expected this so I just deleted the emails and forget about it. Ok, when I protest like that... how come the Police or anyone NOT arrest me when they knew where to get me? They were too busy? Too small a matter? Nothing wrong with my protest? I don't know but no police came to arrest me.

Well... I will continue to protest using my pen and there is NOTHING you can do about it, hehehe. I am staying here continuing posting my protest until I get too tired or until I no longer have free time to do it. Yawn!

ADDITION...

You are really not happy with the many complaints posted by many people here when you challenged not only me, you also challenge many people here too. I have never said that I joined any group eventhough they have the same views. Its you that put me and anyone who complaints or protest into the "group". By challenging me and this group, you are now making a big challenge to a lot of people. I know that you did not call me a coward but I do not mind if you do call me one so... when I do not do what you say... what are you going to do to many people here who also don't go personally to Astro Measat Broadcast Network System building to protest? Tell people here that they have no right to complain? Be careful... you did not but never call people a coward for not protesting at the building. When I become silent later in the future and other people here continues to complain or protest, tell all of them again that the Police will arrest them if they continue? Really silly.

When I become silent here, its NOT because I was scared off by your warning that the police will catch me. My silence here is because of my other commitments that don't allow me much time to hang around here. Hehe... you will be the first person to celebrate when I became silent but remember, there are other "gang members" here so you have to continue warning them that they are commiting a crime or you can continue posting all your disagreements to people's complaints.

Oh... don't put other people in the same group as me because its only me who requested Ass-throw NOT to launch new channels... its NOT fair of you to put other people who complained for other reasons together with me because no one else have requested for "no more new channels". If you think that there are no other people in the same group as me, then why say "how about you and your group"? Well... I somehow suspect that you may now change this to... "No, I made a typing mistake... I only meant you, no group here". If you changed this now, is it really a mistake that you carelessly made?

I am using Peel Smart Remote app in my Samsung handphone, it works like a champ and serve better compare to the ori remote in some aspects.
