With unifi, maybe I can consider astro uncensored VOD...... , but current internet infrastructure and price sure make it tough.

Wakakaka....

There goes our digital TV broadcast transition.

Nope...doesn't work.
Chinasat11 Indonesia KU-beam doesn't cover Sabah......
The maritime ku-beam is not for tv broadcast service.

But HEVC licensing cost is a bomb right now.

To use HEVC, there are at least minimum 4 big licensors demanding royalty from its usage.



Instead of creating a milestone, I think Ansa would become bankrupt before it even start to broadcast.

Serious!

-MPEG LA
-HEVC Advance
-Velos Media
-Technicolor

Wikipedia entry comparison with H264 would be a good reading.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficien...t_license_terms

H264 era = only pay for one pool holder MPEG LA.



Way too long to go....but if thing continue.......maybe AV1 will be the future.....

Must hike the price....otherwise can't collect enough corporate tax and GST......someone need to pay those 1MDB interest payment and certain people expenses......

Monopoly is the simplest method.....

Water + Cooking gas + TM forced hypptv bundle etc...

......instead of music station, perhaps these stations should be called as advertisement station.

Once I listen to our local radio (cant remember which) ....in one hour = music 20 minutes (total 5 songs), advertisement 40 minutes.

ASTRO : Dei boss, takde orang nak beli package tv satellite aku sekarang.
MCMC : Apasal pula
ASTRO : Channel satellite dari negara lain lebih bagus dari channel aku yang offer pada si bodoh yang beli. Diorang punya siaran satellite percuma tu, HD and 4K lagi.
MCMC : Tak jadi ni, macam mana kita orang nak cuci otak rakyat kita nanti? Nanti boss kita marah. Pasal tak dapat charge rakyat mahal dan rompak gst dari mereka.
ASTRO : Betul betul. nanti keuntungan aku kurang dan aku terpaksa bayar cukai syarikat yang sikit.

MCMC issues warning over illegal satellite dishes
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communi­cations and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has warned the public not to use or possess illegal satellite dishes.

It said the use of illegal satellite dishes has a direct financial impact on the country’s broadcasting industry as the broadcast content is received directly from another source.

“Any usage of uncertified equipment such as illegal satellite dish and non-standard products has implications such as safety to consumers and disruption to the quality of telecommunication services.

“Consumers can also easily be exposed to inappropriate content such as pornography and retrograde ideologies that can be detrimental to the moral fabric of society.

“MCMC will continue working with law enforcement agencies to monitor the situation,” it said in a statement.

On Oct 4, two fishermen in Taiping, Perak, were fined RM4,000 in default two months’ jail for owning and using illegal satellite television equipment at home.

“Although the issue is not widespread, it is still a violation of the law,” it said.

MCMC urges members of the public who have any information regarding illegal ownership or use of illegal satellite dishes to alert it so that action can be taken.

Offenders will be prosecuted under the Communications and Multimedia (Technical Standards) Regulations 2000 and under Section 239 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.

Ownership and use of illegal satellite dishes is an offence under Section 239 of the Communications and Multimedia Act, which carries a maximum RM100,000 fine, up to two years’ jail, or both upon conviction.

Under the Customs Act, offenders face a fine not less than 10 times the value of the seized items and not more than 20 times the value of the seized items or can be jailed up to three years, if convicted.

......either our government is really desperate for cash..............or......

Positive? Who want our contents? Even Indonesia production is better than Media Prima.

Negative? Well.......when RTM1, TV3, TV9, AWANI, NTV7 etc all broadcast UMNO general meeting.............

I also received such SMS few days ago. Guess astro or TM is leaking our data again.

Ironically.....I think TM still receives some of the feeds from satellites before piping it through 'censorship' department and flowing out to users.
