What you hope for Ass-tro to add in those channels is what I hope do NOT happen!!
Whether its possible to launch those channels or not is not my point here. What concerns me is that there are NO more new channels to be added to the existing Packs because if Ass-tro do that, they need to increase the price. If you are hoping for "more free" channels, forget it.
Okay, not a problem when Ass-tro launched new packs that include a few channels... or is there something else behind these so-called "New Packs"?
You may think... wow, yeah, fantastic... new "Packs" are launched BUT... no, no, no... its not as simple as subscribers paying more for the "new packs" which you and many others may be willing to pay.
As an example, allow me to repeat one my previous comments about the newly launched Jade Pack which include these channels...
TVBJ, Asian Action Channel, Classic Movies, TVBS Asia, TVB Classic, TVBE and TVB Xing He. What do you see here? Yes, four other channels are already included in other Packs. If you have already subscribed to SuperPack 3, what you are getting is actually 3 "new" channels which you have to pay RM 15.90 to add into your SuperPack 3.
Here is what I really believe very likely may happen. For example... to launch TVB Pearl HD, Ass-tro may create a new "Pearl Mini Pack" which include these channels... TVB Pearl HD, TVB E-News HD, TVBS Asia HD, Classic Movies HD... and you have to pay RM 19.99 so what do you see here? Only ONE channel is "new" and all the rest are already included in other packs BUT the difference is that all the channels in this pack are in HD !!! Of course
this is only my assumption as it did not happen yet BUT this is the scenario that CAN happen whenever Ass-tro adds in new channels.
If you expect these channels... Channel NewsAsia HD, Sony Channel Asia HD, Warnner Channel Asia HD & Universal Channel Asia HD to be grouped into ONE single Pack, very likely that it will NOT happen because Ass-tro will "break" them up and add in channels which are already included in other existing Packs !!!
Of course, there are various reasons why selected channels just cannot be launched by Ass-tro such as Channel News Asia HD.
Eventhough only my assumption,
that's why I do NOT wish Ass-tro to launch any more new channels disguised as "Packs" because they will put in 1 or 2 "new" channels and mix in "rojak" channels that may seem to be attractive with 6 to 10 channels in the new Pack at "ONLY" a small subscription amount.
Don't get me wrong. I definitely DO WELCOME Ass-tro launching new channels (even if lousy ones) IF new channels are added into our existing Packs without us paying a single SEN extra. Am I dreaming? Wake Up!!

Mmm... if you think that this may happen... good luck to all existing Ass-tro subscribers.
Yes, Ass-tro are smart because they believe subscribers are very stupid. I don't know about you but maybe I am really stupid.

I'd welcome that too, unfortunately there is no such thing as free lunch and astro is a company, not some NGO or non profit orgz.
