Hope they wont bombard their 'peks' with too much inhouse channels.
But hey, at least their inhouse dramas are good, but not as good as the foreign ones. Despite they have fairly good budget to whip out averagely good shows.

Definitely true.
1. Astro should up their local game again. They already come up with averagely good Malay dramas and has enough room for Malay in-house channels. No need for more, that's waste of space.

2. Most (legal) online streaming services costs 1/3 of Astro's Movie Pack's price and has less edits than Astro. Though, if you want a really 'unspoiled' experience like India's Hotstar (also a legal VOD service), just pirate it.

The latest one has only HDMI, though you can use a converter if you want to convert to just SD.
Not being picky but, yeah.

Yep, Hotstar has english contents alongside Indian ones. Some are even available uncensored (or, 'Unspoiled' as they would call it) with premium subscription.
Mostly from Star India's english channels. Though you need India VPN and Indian credit card to access it, unfortunately.

Meanwhile in Indonesia, 4K is almost way ahead of its time.
First Media for instance, has added Love Nature 4K on its lineup.
I'm glad Asthrow is catching up with parts of the Nusantara too.
(As long as it's affordable, since 4K TVs are getting more and more affordable to the middle markets.)
