astro jz went ham

Meh that is tantamount of abandoning Malaysian market already. TVB won't be that stupid

nvm la, gt torrent n streaming ledi, duneed aod anymore

That Police drama : Police Borderlines already airing their first ep on web last year

True. It's impossible for TVB to sell their programmes to either HyppTV or ABNXcess.

true oso, tvb need astro more than astro need tvb

Competitor is always good.

TVB too complacent already, need them up their game again.

Without Astro, TVB will lose Malaysian and Bruneian markets.

n actualy mahresia is the biggest market for tvb outside of china/hongkong/taiwan region

I think Malaysian market is bigger than Taiwanese one for TVB. Most of the dramas are broadcasted by TVBS (another TVB-controlled company) in Taiwan, so technically, TVB manages its own business there, unlike in Malaysia.

yup, so many hardcore tvb fans here

Not bad after watch the trailer

leetan33

more expensive than TVB...lulz

HK drama transcends different groups of Chinese in Malaysia.

Whether you are Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka.......most of them do watch HK films/dramas.

A number of those who are not Cantonese, but able to speak Cantonese, primarily because of TVB dramas.

Astro viewers can also catch the show on Astro Shuang Xing HD (CH307).

Actually Astro Shaw got links to TVB also. Arghh.. business world.

Anyway Astro further strenghthens its monopoly position through this

How to watch if no Astro?

yes also, astro continue to monopoly, whether u watch tvb or hktv, konfem dia untung

wait donload la, or subcribe vpn go to hktv website

One word, download.

Download lah, like usual

Got any online watch ?

wan official or not official
if official only limited to hk ip
if wan unofficial just go to usual tvb drama stream site

tvb is not going to get a share of advertising here on astro. they are merely selling the rights to broadcast and astro already pays upfront. Since there is no more monetary incentive why would they care what else astro is broadcasting. It is not like Astro will cancel deal with TVB just because there is another deal with HKTV. I suppose TVB will not care what happened as long as its not competing with their ad revenue in Hong Kong.

NJOI can watch ma......

not bad. the camera movement, lightning placement all much better than TVB & at least real location compared to TVB that mostly are shot in soundstage which so cheap looking. the lift especially

i managed to install HKTV app into my unifi STB and watching it now on my TV.. the only problem is the HKTV running in FULLHD which even my 10mbps unifi can't run smoothly..

but the graphic and audio is AWESOME!

with vpn anot

snapshot please!!!

no need~ but too lag! lol

wait!

although that apk specially for tv box but runs on android phone too,
but hk vpn needed

non chinese people also watched their drama, that is before the quality went down to drain

i mean, journey to the west, Fong Sai Yuk, Legend of condor lover(i think this isn't TVB drama?), those were the good times

loading photo~ after i reboot seems not really functioning perhaps due to connection issue.. lol

Millions of Malaysians will be the first to tune in to dramas produced by HKTV, as a major television station in the Southeast Asian country will air shows a day ahead of the online station's launch in the city.

Malaysian station Astro has signed a deal with HKTV to broadcast and distribute Cantonese-language dramas produced by the station from November 18 on the Astro Shuang Xing channel, it was announced yesterday.

Astro, which has pay-television, radio, publications and digital media interests, is broadcast to 4.2 million households, 60 per cent of Malaysian homes.

HKTV dramas will also be available across Southeast Asia, New Zealand and Australia as Astro also owns the rights for these regions.

Choo Chi Han, vice-president of Astro's Chinese customer business, said the introduction of the HKTV dramas would enrich the content of Astro, which operates 172 television channels.

He said the shows would also be offered in its on-demand television service and on other devices under its on-the-go service.

According to Malaysian government statistics, Malaysia had a total population of 28.6 million in 2010, of whom 22 per cent were ethnically Chinese.

Chinese-language content, primarily Hong Kong entertainment shows, play a key role, Choo said in previous interviews.

Hong Kong free-to-air giant TVB, which celebrates its 47th anniversary on November 19 - the same day that HKTV launches its interactive entertainment and shopping platform in the city - has a strong presence in Malaysia. Astro carries TVB's Classic, Entertainment News, Xing He and TVBS Asia channels.

HKTV declined to reveal the value of the deal but said it has 22 drama titles ready. HKTV spends an average of HK$1 million to produce each drama episode.

The 22 titles include crime thriller Borderline, which had one episode debut on YouTube, and The Election, a political drama about murky goings-on in a chief executive election race starring award-winning actors Angelica Lee Sin-jie and Liu Kai-chi.

Singaporean teacher Elaine Lai, 24, said TVB might still have an advantage in Southeast Asia. "Most of us prefer Hong Kong shows to local shows," she said. "Despite [TVB's] recent stagnation, they have risen well by making an impactful comeback."

She said HKTV "looks good" but the familiar faces in TVB dramas were an advantage. She said HKTV's ability to draw audiences would depend on the quality of the productions.

HKTV intended to launch a free-to-air service when boss Ricky Wong Wai-kay applied for a licence. But his bid was rejected by the Executive Council last year, sparking protests outside government headquarters.

Wong then acquired a mobile television licence, but saw his plans rejected on technical grounds. HKTV is now making its programmes available to stream through computers, mobile apps or set-top boxes, which does not require a government licence.

HKTV also plans to launch HKTV Mall, a shopping and entertainment platform.

haha so true

yeah mang last time police drama so ghao yeng but now

I just got the wind that Astro will broadcast The Borderline (警戒線) ahead of HK.

awesome, i hav been waiting for dis drama to b released since last year after i watched the ep 1, hav to wait more than 1 year

HKTV has chosen "The Election" starring Malaysian actress Lee Sinje as their first drama, but Astro chose "Borderline" instead.
http://zhongwen.astro.com.my/Channels/SHX/...?articleid=4267

aiya i thought both regions will have the same list accordingly

The Election the moment for its airing is very very gooding for HK at time like these

their technologies > TVB.

and quite clear and good take.

but hope they absorb more TVB actor/ss. So that hnggggggg

it is very idiotic to describe cantonese words in simplified chinese [referring to the caption which assteruk put in the promotional clip]
if the hongkies see that they won't feel very happy with that

nope because of TVB's monopoly and government they could not manage to get the lisences, but they will go live through the Internet and Smart TV app

why no repeat one? dam

Got repeat at 11pm.

What is the name of new female police? She old already ..

watched ep1, director is terrible

1.5 more hours per day is going to be wasted on tv again

Watch whole 5 episode of borderline and 2 episode of election and i am in tears.

There is finally hope in hk drama and series.

Keep it coming hktv

i think HKTV give more chance to other actors beside TVB. thumbs up to them and not like astro monopoly all! somebody must give astro a challenge then only they know what is the taste. all the superb actor in the past came out to act again! so nice to watch their professionalism
