Subscribers pay monthly fees to get even MORE ADVERTISEMENTS !!! I have "tahan" so loooong, and even reduced my package. Now "tak boleh tahan lagi" !! I know its useless but I will call Asss-throw to complain and scold them ... and then change to NJOI. I do hope more and more subscribers call to complain.. persuade your friends and any subscribers to call Asss-throw and complain, if possible... threaten to terminate. How many will make the complaint? I think there are many people who don't care who will say its useless to complain so I don't know how many will do it but at least a few of my friends WILL call to complain !
I think a few years ago, they tried adding advertising logo on top left or corner of screen... I think it was advertising for the local movie "Ola Bola". Adding advertisement on Info Bar is not new because they have done it before (for a short while). Once I change to NJOI, I don't mind the advertisement on Info Bar because I do NOT have to pay monthly subscriptions. Goodbye Asss-throw !!

QUOTE(nexona88 @ Apr 11 2017, 12:39 AM) Damn astro.. Now got Hotlink Happy Hour ads on info box.. (I mean when u change channel, the program info shown).. Once again, it's their new way to earn extra money from ads. The small ad banner has been existed on NJOI platform quite a while ago. And now they implement it on Astro pay TV platform? Wahhhhh.... This is too much A pay TV service, and we pay for the service but make it as if it is a free TV service.

Hmm.. Fun fact about cancelling your pay TV provider due to some channels being dropped but you're still under contract. This video applies in the US though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsWIfrD6kU4

Complaining about adverts is a waste of time,even SKMM wl say astro is following guidelines ! India too has heavy adverts but the best part they pass the benefit to customers abt 600 channels for RM50! Even if I pay triple of that rate to astro I will still get rubbish! But greedy astro is too much their rates are very expensive, for lousy content and we hv to bear with their silly adverts! Their AOTG adverts on android apllications is much more worse! I Started with SP,then down to VP now on just Family HD,and next will be The Last Goodbye  They will one day just remain as number one advertisement provider is asia. They have no plans to upgrade service. give new channels with original content,move to MPEG4 ,improve PQ,and upgrade their box to hv more audio features,basically very poor but very expensive service This post has been edited by smileguy: Apr 11 2017, 02:02 PM

I think astro is good and stable provider. Just that it is very darn slow at upgrade and it's super sky high expensive. Try offering the full package at rm50. I believe every single home in malaysia will take that up and that will even make astro earn more compare to now, expensive and more and more to cut the service off.
Astro needs a new business plan and strategy, the monopoly trend will not work anymore as Internet is getting faster and cheap.
