Have you ever realize that Pelangi (CH 142) has suffered some major channel drift over the past few years?
Back then, it used to air Indonesian films, old and new. They even air TransTV programs, too.
But now, most of the shows airing on that channel are mostly from NET. An Indonesian free-to-air TV channel.
If that's the case, shouldn't they just rebrand to NET. International?
Then add some more of that NET. programs that isn't on Pelangi's schecule.
But what's the point of watching Pelangi when most of NET.'s shows are available for free online on YouTube and NET.'s VOD service, Zulu.

Maybe bcz there is some people still watch that channel.
Me guarentee that Bintang(ch141) & Pelangi(ch142) will be cease transmission someday.
And, astro will not interested to add Indonesia HD channel. Bcz most Malay are addicted with Korean K-Pop & Drama. No Indo is okay.
Just like how astro not like to add kids, music & japanese entertainment channel in HD. So, 2017 gonna end & still no MTV HD. Now MTV Asia focus to add Korea K-Pop show into their channel maybe because that channel is not popular.
E! Also do show Korea K-Pop show. Maybe, they just want attention from younger generation to watch that channel. E! is just focus to shows US celebrity about... That we not interested to watch. Malay just care about Malay celebrity(in Hlive on Astro Ria).
