Jamesleetech - yes, the 2 chs were added to this basic pack called family starter, Warner TV and Warner TV Encore was added back in Jan 2016 to the same pack ..... no price increase.

From what I hear on radio, AXN (exclusive rights wif Starhub ended) will be launched shortly on the same Family Pack. Finally!

For astro, they are adopting the upsell method, create more and sell more versus adding channels to existing pack. They probably dun view Hypp TV as a competition.....

Yes, HBO HD has 3 dedicated feeds Fr SG, I.e. Asia, Malaysia and Taiwan. Hence all programs on HBO HD Malaysia are all edited for Astro, same goes for the SD feed.

Consolidating recent pics of recent Ch launches and rebrand on Singtel, for those interested:

Sports Illustrated (RE-brand of ASN)
ELEVEN Sports EURO
NDTV India - launched today

Football Fever Pack consists of Ch 141 (Copa) and Ch 142 (Euro channel packaged by Eleven Sports), free for existing TV subscribers if they RE-contract or sign up some high tier plans.

Ch 142 is also available a LA carte at S$88 (should be the recommended price by the rights holder ELEVEN Sports).

No announcement yet on NDTV India, most likely a add on channel to the existing Desi Starter pack.

Probably some time next wk to announce, guessing together with NDTV 24X7, just a guess ..... but the NDTV India is live foe viewing on the Set Top Box now.

Starhub dropping a handful of Fox Networks Group chs like Ch [V] Intl, [V] Taiwan, [V] China, Nat Geo HD etc . Since yesterday ..... to pacify or make subscribers forgot abt the dropped chs in due time, they decided to offer "free preview" - sneaky

New channel coming to SEA, Inc. MAL

Not sure why the free preview extended to 2 more months, so desperate to retain subscribers, hahaha

But they are all basic group chs though.

They only open up some of the basic channels for free, not all basic channels ....... but for subscribers who subscribe to some of these groups, we feel cheated cos is free viewing, haha, oh well .....

Can someone post the slide for the Olympics Ch? I am curious to see how it is like .... thx!

Jamesleetech - thx for the pics, nice! No Olympics chs on Singtel and Starhub, the excuse was rights too expensive. Only MediaCorp bought selected events rights, delayed rights somemore, I.e. not LIVE. Haha.

Haha, yes, and ppl want the Govt to buy the rights ..... The reply 'its a commercial decision of the Broadcasters' 😁

According to the above report, cost went up probably rights holder, Dentsu, mark it up for small country like SG.

When u press the red button on the astro Olympics Ch, where does it bring u to?

Jamesleetech - Yup, I meant pressing the red button when viewing the Olympics chs. Sorry for the confusion, thx again.

No free Olympics in SG ..... just wait for the free preview of all chs on Starhub and Singtel from tomorrow till the next few days, as part of National Day celebrations. Cheers.

Thx, yes, on 1 crappy Ch though plus 2 OTT chs ( not even over the air)

On a separate note, now Jelli (replaces Jiangsu Satellite Ch) launches on Singtel TV today, have a good weekend!
