"...investigating the issue with our channel provider"
Wah. Is that the reason why HBO channel on Astro is being localised to Malaysia feed due to HBO not allowing pay TV providers (Astro) to modify its content, including censoring, delaying, slot in ads on HBO channels?

But then think again, HBO channel on Astro is not delayed by any means. Yeah, no 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, or 1 hour delay kind of bulls**t like most of other channels, and do you ever see Astro slot in their own ads on HBO channel? I think this is the policy set by HBO themselves. So it could mean that, if you (Astro) want the content to be censored or modify by any means, only HBO themselves can modify/censor the content, not from Astro's side, and that depends on what kind of agreement they have between them.

I'm not sure, I am just assuming, based on the reply by one of the complaint as attached screenshot.
If I would guess, the only next move that HBO will do is, not airing the movie "Allied" on HBO (Malaysia feed) anymore, meanwhile the Asia feed one will continue airing (maybe), if viewers in other countries did not complain the same thing as "some of" Malaysians do. Cuz I don't think HBO will suka suka censor the movie for the sake of those people who is so insensitive to those kind of content. HBO got their own reputation to be taken care of.
