Sorry to say that if you request terminate astro account, astro won't feel anything. In fact, astro will cut off or deduct employee performance, mention that "why you help customer terminate acc?" Everything put pressure to employee n employee feel stress end up resign this job. Turn over rate high but Management did not do any improvement plan, (meaning that managers thinking the idea hw to suck cust duit without listen cust feedback).

Even through u did not subscribe monthly to paytv service provider, bt you subscribe njoi with no monthly commitment and astro still earn duit becoz you watch thoss unprofessional ads (not like oversea ads). Again, they still also earn profit at ads even you did not pay the monthly.

And even you subscribe njoi one time off payment with purchase your decoder, smartcard and outdoor dish.  Bt hw your decoder last longer? I guarantee after 3 yrs your decoder hv some minor system problem, such as decoder hang, decoder no power. Take note njoi after 1 year warranty over, astro don't care you are my customer anymore.

N even after 1 year warranty with decoder rosak, astro will tell you "sila purchase lagi new njoi account with new decoder, smartcard and outdoor dish." And again, astro will profit again if you will purchase new set njoi acc if u still like rojak content. End up, the process is still keep repeating.

True!! thumbsup.gif The moral of the story is astro has excellent and patient customers !! As I have said despite the scandals they still vote Bn and despite the grievances they still have to go with astro,malaysians are very forgetful! All astro ventures outside msia failed but in msia it was a huge success!No other player dares to go near them,cos it is a crony company with BN backing bangwall.gif Technology,channels,PQ,sound Quality,what great astro has to offer?Pricing almost touching rm200! PPV channels is all they know and there are customers who even buy AB and AF and it is the most profitable!!End of the day it is still customers fault nod.gif As long customers attitudes dont change nothing will change biggrin.gif Like BN ,astro will be the single provider of the nation for as long malaysians remain the way they are

Astro's technology is outdated perhaps its worst then a third world country! Actually these pop ups can be disabled ,but our 60's technology does not allow it! End of the day the POWER is in customers hands! Complain and complain but still vote BN,definitely cannot!!Astro's Indian channels were the worst and first to hv these pop ups which even block the actual video running ,complained but no action finally terminated the whole Indian packages! The problem here is 100 complain not happy but 10000 are happy and accept whatever! malaysians are a funny lot,and as I said asstro and BN same,sure win!! biggrin.gif

EPG Ad banner ... to reward subscribers is their public reply to all complaints. It IS correct that they actually is rewarding subscribers ! What they don't tell you is the true reason why its a reward. I can't prove what I am going to say now so just treat it as rumours from me... a friend of mine who has a friend inside said the "reward" is actually because the content price keeps on increasing a lot due to various reasons, including our fk ringgit continuing to weaken. So what has cost increase caused Assteruk to "reward" us? Whenever they increased price... people will explode with lots of complains, protests, etc. MPs in parliament then continue to allow monopoly because a group privately wants to continue "untung"... but this "group" wants to "show" that they care about rakyat complains so Assteruk is forced not to increase price or limit price increase as much as possible.

Aahh.... apa boleh Assteruk buat bila tak dibenarkan naik harga ataupun bila boleh, hanya naik sikit-sikit. So they a very good and clever plan... they call it REWARD to make it sound wonderful which they believe subscriber DESERVE for not allowing them to increase price !! Yah, Assteruk believes that subscribers deserve to get such rewards by getting much much more advertisements !!! LOL !

Think I am bullshitting here? Ingat saya cakap karut ? Subscribers pay money to watch additional advertisements which gives discounts as rewards? Actually they can send us such rewards by email, by sms, by whatsapp, by post, etc etc... why use EPG Ad banner? Because its more effective in forcing people to notice it and therefore the advertisers willing to pay more !!

For example... just like when a person buys a Pr*t*n car. E*N asked Assteruk to advertise in Pr*t*n. Instead of giving the car buyer an advertising paper brochure from Assteruk which gives 1 month free view of Satellite TV, E*N just painted the rear bonnet with the Assteruk advertisement as a "reward". Why do that? E*N can get more advertising $ from Assteruk because more people can see it when the buyer uses the car ! When car buyer complains, E*N said he can always press the "OK" button... oops... buyer can repaint the bonnet ! The problem is... when buyer sends the car back for free service, the bonnet gets painted with the advert again !

Complain and still nothing happened because Assteruk is big taikoh with monopoly ! CORRECT ! But many still choose to pay because they will die and cannot live without Assteruk. Just like internet, I will DIE without it but I will only point the finger at myself and blame myself only eventhough TM monopoly is the reason why its expensive.

My question to people in Thailand and Singapore... do you people get the same EPG Ad banners and Pop-Out banners ? I hope its the same. If NOT, then Assteruk treats us "better" here, LOL !

Hehe... here's a short 35 seconds video I made after I used my phone to film it at my friend's home. Mmm... hope you like it... I mean, hope you hate it !

rclxms.gif rclxms.gif I have indian DTH,there is no such nonsense,they hv frequent advert breaks but the best part is they give the benefit to customers,we pay less then RM50 for full HD pack with 500+ channels. I agree with you thumbsup.gif on customer attitude which is almost similar to msians attitude towards BN! The whole world including India saw a change of govt but we ,the same govt,the same telco,the same DTH,the same ISP yawn.gif Asstro had this chat bar on channel 211 for many many years despite customer complains and even to MMC,simply bcos they are so many youths out there actually waste hard earned money on the silly chats !MMC was on astro's side saying it was allowed for! So the support was so good that the chat bar which blocked the video on screen was not at all an issue to some customers! I heard lately that it finally had to be removed cos of some deals which turned sour at astro's end.Customers are to be blamed,they have the power to shut it down! brows.gif Who is to be blamed for the success of AF and AB? Indian Customers buy Thangathirai for New Movies, then buy new movie again on Astro First biggrin.gif So can we be blame asstro for it success? hmm.gif

Just like a MIC there is another small bunch of businessmen running Indian programming at asstro and short changing the Indian customers! All major programmes and serial airtime is sold to local advertisers and they make money two ways! vmad.gif Most of live programes are delayed by one day,airtime is modified to enable sale to local advertisers bangwall.gif

Sorry for the late reply, the localized feed happened for a long while already ...  He can't remember the exact years.

As for when it will end, that one is confidential agreement, he is not sure....  I believe as long as astro thinks HBO has value, astro will continue paying for exclusive rights.

Look at the situation in SG, HBO n the sister chs still not on Singtel, Starhub is paying high minimum guarantee to HBO to keep competitor out.

No contacts in Discovery but I suspect it's to tailor diff programs to the country viewing habits.  Likewise, AXN have a MAL/Asia feed and a dedicated SG feed.

Right, biggrin.gif Discovery and many more have different programming to suit the country,based on my experience with India all documentary channels carry more programmes linked to India. When asstro had Bio Channel many wl remember msian political leaders were featured puke.gif

As what advised by Astro, it seems that all of us will see the ad on EPG banners from now on. No plans of discontinuing such feature.

Instead, in not nice words, Astro is telling that if you hate the ad appear on channel banner so much, why not you change the setting of the duration of the channel banner to a shorter time, so that you won't see the ad for a long, and at the same time, the duration for you to see the channel banner (what programme name is now showing/will be shown next) will be shorter as well. Because we already received the payment from advertisers, we just put it up to your screen. We don't care if you like it or not, all we care is we get more money. Who doesn't want more profit if you got the chance/opportunity?

asstro knows the msian attitude,they will make noise for a while,in a matter of time they will forget that and enjoy it!! We are never at all serious with things! Just like GST ,make noise then later accept that and vote BN again bangwall.gif Just like BN has 60% astro has almost the same % who will watch with no complains ! The best part many only spring into action on religious and even to mild xxxx issues then issues related to basic consumer rights laugh.gif

Translation:

Samantha: Why cease broadcast? Will the existing programmes be aired on other channels?

Kah Lai Toi: Astro did not continue the agreement with us, so it will no longer be on Astro anymore. As of now still couldn't confirm if it would be aired (moved) to other channels.

Samantha: I see.

But I think is, Kah Lai Toi want to pull off the channel from Astro, so they don't want to continue the agreement with Astro, not the other way round.
I guess is either due to low viewership or budget constraints, or both.

I mean, how popular or well known is Kah Lai Toi channel to Malaysians anyway? It is just a matter of time.
