QUOTE(joshhd @ Nov 26 2016, 12:32 AM) Astro use all 3 Measat satellites (Measat 3, Measat 3a and 3b) on 91.5 degrees (East orbit) to provide satellite TV to customers. If all HD channels move to Measat 3b, then how about Measat 3a satellite? They won't waste the precious and expensive satellite capacity just because new satellite with better technology has launched, unless the satellites has reach its end of life, which it will be more than 10 years from now. Well maybe they can rent the capacity to others pay TV operators.. |

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Nov 27 2016, 07:55 PM) Another 10years maybe Since Feb 2017 is the expiry of Astro's exclusive license, if other company wants to offer satellite TV service, do they still need to rely on MEASAT as their backbone or can they rent transponders from Palapa (Indosat), Asiasat etc? Will C-Band be allowed to or only Ku-Band allowed like ASTRO? This post has been edited by izwanikhsan: Nov 27 2016, 07:41 PM |

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Nov 27 2016, 08:52 PM) Well I'm not sure.. So sorry... Just something we can ponder. If new competitor needs to rely on Measat feed, it won't hurt Astro as the new company will be paying for transponder lease from Measat. If new competitor can rent transponders from Palapa or other satellite company, then they may be affected. |

I don't think our government will allow operators to use foreign satellite.. Because measat is our country pride.. Any how until new operator is official, we can only speculate.. |

If not mistaken, astro had sign "exclusive agreements" with HBO.. Only astro has the right for HBO in Malaysia.. Got others channels too... I don't have the full list, but its also includes the Star & Fox networks channels.. And sports channels too.. This post has been edited by nexona88: Nov 28 2016, 11:02 AM |

By doing that, TM has to bid HBO with higher price than astro willing to pay. Once they wont the right, to who do you think the cost will be passed? us customer. Bidding will only make price higher i presumed. looking at the cut throat price of sports package in singapore after cross carriage |
