Just called astro and terminated services after feeding them since 1996!!Now they will arrange installer to collect the box and remote and termination wl be on next stmnt date. They offered several offers right away but I refused,my reason was bad service,poor content and highly priced

true..
Malaysian is very price sensitive..
little hike.. then u see big hu ha / issues..

but needed to blame astro too.. because they also don't want to have quality content..
they more focus on locals content....

good for you. for me my parent still hooked with astro and i cant do much about it

Nope.. this one is actually all on them..they hiked up the sports package price like 3 years ago and a year later, they dropped some of their offerings while the hiked up price still stay the same..

well everywhere is the same..

old folk is the main market for astro.. without them,. I think astro long time close shop

Great😄😄👍👍

You cant teach old dogs new tricks

Just like the politics😃😃😃😃

So true..
Old habits hard to change..

Hey guys,I planing to get TOSLINK connector for my dad 5.1 home theater dolby digital,hows it sound like is you use astro with dolby digital does all channel support it? like
tv3?

Dolby 5.1 on Astro is only available on selected HD channels only. SD channels are only Stereo/Mono.
The surround sound are great, especially from movies channels like HBO and Fox Movies. Remember to change Digital Audio Settings from your Astro box from Stereo to Dolby Digital 5.1, but do note that this will result your RCA output from Astro box or TV (that do not support Dolby audio passthrough) to have no sound when the channel is Dolby 5.1 (e.g. HD channels). If this happens, you got to switch back to Stereo, and you shall switch to Dolby 5.1 only whenever you want to enjoy surround sound.

------

5.1 audio for TV3 is not yet available on Astro, now it is only available on digital TV platform.
TV3 (HD) now uses HE-AAC codec for 5.1 audio, no longer Dolby audio codec. If the audio is 5.1 but it's not AC3 or E-AC3 or DTS, using Optical audio (TOSLINK) will not output as 5.1 surround audio, even if your setting has been set as "Bitstream". The best option is use HDMI (ARC) method to output 5.1 audio instead of using optical cable. For nowadays, optical cable is used only if your home theatre system (especially older ones) do not have HDMI input, to enjoy surround sound. You can Google more about this, if you're interested.

oh thanks for the infomation

Just realized Hypp TV also selling their channel across the causeway, Pesona HD together with Indonesia's SCTV Citra Drama HD starts next week on Singtel TV, just sharing, cheers

Hypp TV is now known as "unifi TV"... It seems that TM wants to use the "unifi" branding across their services, including broadband, mobile (Unifi Mobile) and TV (Unifi TV)...

But then, do many Singaporean watch Indonesian programmes anyway? It seems that they're targeting Indonesian viewers (e.g. workers) in Singapore.

IC, I think the strategy is to get subscribers hooked on to channels with dramas as one needs to continue catching the rod if the drama gets the eyeballs.

When I walk pass some Malay neighbours, I noticed they are always switched on to MNC's Drama channel, haha.

There should be free preview .... I will share some pics on Mon.

Hmm
In HD channels right??

haha you so racist label indon as workers

if in Malaysia I can understand larh but in Singapore heck no lorh

they should the professionals because they are the higher class changing latest iphones every year

haha should be

Should've get a limited 4K screening, considering the price.

Wah no la... It's just one of the examples only.... I believe Singapore sure also got permanent residents from Indonesia wan mah... 😏
