As usual, they compare with other expensive broadcaster to justify their price increase doh.gif

just like the petrol price increase, they only compare to those expensive one, won't even dare to mention about the super cheap price of petrol in Brunei laugh.gif

very typical of Malaysia's way of putar belit of facts rolleyes.gif

Perghhhhh...the marketing dept so desperate meh? Got a call asking me if I wanna add supplementary subscription. I said can I install the other sub at another location, he quickly said I'll call you again if I decided to get this offer & hanged up. An hour later, same telemarketer called me again using his mobile & said he can't say anything just now rgd my query. And he offered me exactly what I wanted. Install a supp sub for RM50 at another location with the same package I have now. Hmmmm....legit?  hmm.gif

phone conversation is recorded mah, that's why he cannot confirm it on the telemarketing phone bcos by right you can't do that

but in behind, they are desperate to hit sales target, so tell you can lo, and secretly do it for you on other location, but on paper it's still on the same location

I am using ASTRO decoder DMT4. I am just wondering if I am the only one suffering this. When iklan time, the volume since to be so loud, and you need to turn down the volume but when you favourite drama plays it was so slow and you need to turn up the volume once again.
Is this problem caused by the decoder or what? Who wants to hear iklans anyway right.. Haha
My solution is temporarily when iklan time comes, I'll just mute the sound. Lol.

I got this same issue as well

don't think it's the decoder issue, but more on the digital audio source, where Asstro switch between mono/stereo audio (louder) during ads and surround audio (depends on TV, you might only get the L/R audio from the 5.1) which sounds softer on TV

correct me if I'm wrong hmm.gif

Damn you astro. I call want terminate but they tell my contract until july 2017. If still want need to pay the bills until july 2017. Apparently they offered me last year to change my decoder and didnt tell my contract will be renewed.

Really evil plan. I bet somewhere july last year would be my last contract and they offer the decoder. I bet also july next year they will call me and offering something again just to tie my contract again.

Anyway, anybody got way to overcome problem like me? Want to terminate but still in contract?

IINM you'll need to pay the penalty, price of the new decoder IINM

Since AOD is no longer a separated package like last time
I suspect they gonna scrap it, and replaced by TVB Jade
at the same time free up their much needed bandwidth for new channels to milk the subscriber dry

Do you guys realize that any new channel launches by Astro nowadays are charged minimum RM5.30 (incl. GST) per channel per month, or even up to RM53 for one channel/package if you did not subscribe to any particular package to get the cheaper package price available? Basically the price are not under the "affordable" range, instead it is like the customers are paying more for a "premium stuff" especially the ridiculous RM53/month for one channel/package, which Astro never offer such thing several years ago. I suspect Astro is mainly using this method to gain advantage and earn more profit from customers that subscribe new channels lineup at their discretion. Do you think it is somehow true to say that Astro do this so that other existing Astro customers will not experience any price hikes EVERY YEAR just like few years ago, so that Astro can somehow able to "cover up the content cost"?

Example: Korean Pack, Star Chinese Channel, Golf Channel, Astro Cricket, Setanta Sports, WWE Network, and the new TVB Jade pack.

In general, Astro will always find ways to make customers pay more, and more, and more for TV content. To be honest in my opinion, Astro don't actually showing loyalty and appreciation to almost any existing customers (including the ones that subscribed Super Pack/Super Pack Plus). If you really go and evaluate all Astro packages and do some math calculation, you will know what I am trying to say. Like this TVB Jade Pack, Astro still expects customers to pay extra RM15.90/month despite they already paying more than RM164.30/month (RM137.80/month for Astro IPTV) for Super Pack 3 or Super Pack Plus 3/4. Do you personally think that RM164.30/month or RM137.80/month for Astro IPTV is a small amount? Yet Astro still expects customers to pay more for additional content? Also, if you do not subscribe to Dynasty or Super Pack 3 or Super Pack Plus 3 or 4, subscribing to TVB Jade Pack is RM53/month! You call this fair pricing?

Many customers were asking why is Astro doing this, yet Astro explains to them how much they care about you, and such premium offer are only available to customers at their discretion. This is obviously wanting customers to pay even more despite they are already paying more. This is obviously prove that Astro prioritize over your money than your loyalty or appreciation towards their service. But what to do? Astro is playing well in monopolize Malaysian pay TV market.

that's what happen when you let someone monopolized a market

unlike the case of Maxis, unhappy users can just port out to other telco

Asstro knew most users doesn't have alternative to switch to, hence the cockiness... doh.gif
I wouldn't call HyppTV a serious contender...

TVB Jade is a foreign channel which subject to 3-5 mins delay off the actual feed, so whether the censor happens or not depends on the staff on the shift at that time, because one person needs to monitor 3-4 channels at a time, so its not surprising things like this might "accidentally" got through brows.gif

meanwhile WLT/AOD are in house channels where all contents are pre-recorded and edited in house prior to airing

yeah, delayed censorship is done by the staff on duty

I have seen some uncensored content slipped past
saw some brief titties and dongs on Astro before laugh.gif
especially on those shows past midnight, probably those censorship staffs already half asleep yawn.gif

They don't use tapes/discs in modern broadcasting anymore
most of the things are already digitized, press a few buttons on a panel then you're good to go

Astro purchase the content from TVB, they just stream whatever TVB broadcast from their broadcast center which is streaming to multiple purchasers as well,
It's up to the purchaser to censor the content, not the broadcaster, in this case, Assthrow will be the censor.
