Don't know about the issue as I'm not subscribers for that pack 😁

Oh yea, they use Amazon service.
So, better than iflix & tonton?

Next level like Amazon Prime Video...

App version is okay but chrome version is totally sucks, i cannot use astro go since last year, reinstall the plugin wont work for me.

I try yesterday also. You need install two plug-in for PC chrome. It is working after install two plug-in. One is chrome extension, another is a standalone plugin.

i know it but it failed for me

Try reset your chrome extension? Or reinstall from fresh the chrome?

this problem is not just me... there is a lot of people blashing their extension in google chrome, u can have a look over there. Never encounter this problem on hypptv everywhere but it always happen on astro go.

I just give you suggestion. I don't face the issue. I no need check what people bashing on.

Same offer like Olmypic 2016.
Got customer rage that need to tie 6 month contract or terminate early need to pay penalty.

Best if you can tahan 6 bulan.
If just want to watch World Cup. Better subscribe RM100 one time fee than more than RM100 every month.

For me, just watch final only in Astro Arena.
Or this year need to subscribe that expensive pack. What me know is, any pack you upgrade like Value or Super. Need to stay for 6 month period. Early downgrade time before contract finish. Need to pay penalty.

Don't needed to buy the sports pack leh...
Just buy the rm100 world cup pass..

Even NJOI customers can buy.. Not forgetting the NJOI app too..

No contract, whatsoever 💪

I'll get back on the Eng subtitles tmr.

Here are the pics for Pesona HD and Citra Drama HD on Singtel TV. Just sharing.
Citra Drama is the same Indonesia feed, some series already airing half way thru the series , already ep. 65 etc. The trailers also added in SG in the spots. Strangely, The English music videos airing between programs are in SD format.
Have not really checked out Pesona HD but I believe it should be the same Malaysia feed fr Unifi.

astro don't just offer sports channels..

u must buy Family pack + sports pack if B.yond
if want HD quality.. then add HD service too

ever notice that their reply in facebook so slow now? i used to be able to get my things settle within few hours. they will reply in 1-2 hour. now almost half day only got reply

Their CS team left liao

So very short handed

josh hd - sorry for the late reply. Here goes ~

The English programs, be it movies or series, does not come with any close captions when the file is sent to the channel partner, FOX, HBO etc. They sometimes comes with scripts but all this will come with additional charges from some movie studios (everyone wants to make $$)

Hence, the priority is to subtitle to the native country language

As to certain countries on why no native subtitles, again it's all dollars and cents. HBO only does Chinese (simplified and traditional), Thai, BM & BI

For HBO and STAR Movies in India, the English subtitles does not come from the US film studio .... they are sub-contracted to companies in India to produce them ... and the cost is not cheap.

Anything else, let me know 8-)

It's okay, no worries. Thanks for your reply.

If the programme is in English, the scripts shall be also in English, isn't? So why can't they provide English subtitles too? Or, once they got the timecode of the subtitles after being translated into their native country language, they can just change the translated subtitle language's text into English by following the script, isn't?

Certain countries that has no native subtitle language, so let say some of the pay channels that Sri Lanka pay TV offers (AXN, Sony Channel, Warner TV, HBO,...) doesn't even have English subtitles, so what if majority of the viewers/subscribers can't understand English well/at all? They may struggle to understand what is the programme about, or not even want to watch it anymore, isn't? How oh liddat? Viewership will be greatly affected, isn't?

And so this is why most of the pay channel's Chinese subtitle are in Traditional Chinese instead of Simplified Chinese (e.g. National Geographic, Fox Movies, Fox Life, AXN, etc.)? Does it means, to have both Simplified and Traditional Chinese subtitles, subtitler company have to pay double? I thought it can be easily translated by just a click of a button? Sounds like doesn't make sense.... And also, the Chinese subtitle on "HBO Malaysia" on Astro is Traditional Chinese (I assume it is the same as Asia feed). So which country/pay TV that HBO wants to provide Simplified Chinese then?

As for Chinese subtitles for pay channels, is it true that the main reason why only Traditional Chinese subtitles are offered in almost all English pay channels is because Taiwan/Hong Kong sub-contracted those subtitler companies to produce the subtitles, so Malaysia and Singapore pay TV are just pinjam over their produced subtitles, and that ultimately save costs because it tends to divides the costs among countries that wants Chinese subtitles to be available on their pay TV platform? As far as I know, Blue Ant Ent, Blue Ant Extreme, Warner TV channels is in Simplified Chinese, does it means Taiwan and Hong Kong doesn't have these channels on their pay TV operators, which explains why it is only in Simplified Chinese because Malaysia (unifi TV) and Singapore pay TV do provide this channel?

Is that true that the channel provider must know what are the subtitle languages that a pay TV operator wants to provide to viewers? For example la, Singapore's Starhub TV also want add Malay subtitle option to all Fox Network Group channels, but the Malay subtitles already available out there and it is produced for Malaysia, so does it means Starhub got to pay for Malay subtitles as well, because Starhub is using the subtitle? OR, does it means that once a pay TV operator had an agreement with content provider to provide TV channel/content for customers/viewers, instantly they'll have access to ALL subtitles available from the channel provider, for example Malay, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, Burmese, Korean, and so actually the pay TV operator can actually choose to provide ALL subtitle languages available to their viewers, even if the majority of the viewers wouldn't even understand the language (for example, Starhub to provide Thai subtitles to all Fox Network Group channels).

For India, do you mean that the sub-contracted companies staff would transcript those English programmes to have English subtitles by themselves? Wah, I can see their effort there....

Thanks.
