I bring up this to Astro group here..

The astro portal seems like slightly update from their system. However, I realize that astro Njoi provide Freebies for certain channels. Did you guy saw for this? Is it really true free channels for this? And how long duration for this free channels?

Astro so called OD with Home Wi-Fi is very lousy. yawn.gif puke.gif
Nothing interesting. Slow download server. Outdated content.
I have 10Mbps speed to try to use it. But download very slow. mad.gif

Just close shop your tak guna OD service. Can't compete with Iflix and Netflix at all.
Atleast this streaming service have something new to watch.
But Astro punya stream on demand PVR service. Just like their promote premium.
With outdated server and new content.

Promosi bukan main. Cerita sama je. Ulang banyak kali.
Download ambil masa yang lama. Tapi boleh tengok 2 hari je. bangwall.gif
*
I think astro unable to pay the cost for the newest and latest contents.
Some-more this OD is really useless, even give me free OD channel I also don't want. puke.gif

I rather prefer astro could provide other oversea channels, but PLS don't give in-house channels and useless channels like Astro Xiao Tai Yan, Astro Shuang Xing, Astro Hua Hee and so on.. shakehead.gif

Wow, first time I ever see 8TV air 16:9 programmes without letterbox...

And this Korean drama is aired in Korean audio dub instead of usual Mandarin audio dub.

However, 16:9 commercials still in 4:3 with letterbox...

Oh ya, my favourite korea drama..
It almost a bit outdated after 3 months show this program in Malaysia..

I think you switch to nTV7 still have letterbox..

For kids who demand their daily dosage of Mickey Mouse, Dora the Exlorer, High 5, Spongebob and Ben 10, parents have to subscribe to kids pack. tutor tv and tviq are educational channels. Ceria only shows local content, japanese and korean dubbed cartoons.

Those Astro Tutor TV, Xiao Tai Yang all channels are cheapulak one. I can say it's totally useless and not a professional education channels.. Until now, these few channels haven't been ceased operation. puke.gif
I believe that still have few demand to watch those kinds of channels.. whistling.gif

First=local content
Best=international biggrin.gif yawn.gif

Fox movies Premium HD is belongs to Fox network group
HBO HD is belongs to Time Warner

There is nothing related to Astro Best.
I think you mention Astro Best will publish during the new international movies just taken down from local cinema.

Its gomen one.. One reason why there's astro in schools..

I never heard there's astro in schools.. Is it you say physical schools? If is channels schools. that's totally wasted resources.
But I know TM have physical schools which called TM university...


QUOTE(smileguy @ Jan 20 2017, 10:54 AM)
astro in schools was a major business deal! TV pendidikan was sold off to astro! No student watches astro in schools! We wont see any good english cartoon or animations cos basic asstro ceria in BM caters to the many customers. See what happened to Disney when it was malaysianised? With importance of english neglected, they wont be much to look forward on asstro cos it will end with low  viewership hmm.gif  Sit and count the premium channels on asstro, you will be surprised its less then 50! Rest are all from own kitchen, recompiled, made for malaysia and some with slots sold to local advertisers puke.gif Malaysians are a funny lot,they pay blindly for AF and AB not knowing they are getting a TV version and not a cinema version!! BTW did we hear of any In House channel closing down,cos low viewership ?! vmad.gif
*
Seriously, there is no student will watch astro.. somemore need to pay 42+/monthly including these few education channels.. I suggest u rather spend slight higher amount go to tuition school learn something new.

What I realized that the astro cut the ads really unprofessional.. especially if you got watch Fox Movies Premium or HBO... The above small timing will announce remain how many minutes/seconds (If you have realize) will start to broadcast that movie..

But normally less than 2 or 3 minutes, astro will cut off those fox movies advertising, and broadcast in-house or local ads... These local ads will broadcast more than 3 or 4 minutes and then only start the movie show.. puke.gif

Astro pasang di sekolah. Standard mungkin njoi kut. No people will watching at  school time.

FOX Movies Premium HD is good. Like Animax have timing when show to start next.
But when Animax and AXN HD start to show GEM HD and Sony Channel ads.
I start to bye.gif Watch new channel ads that not available here bangwall.gif

Yeah. Astro first start first. After local cinema. biggrin.gif laugh.gif
*
Yeah, the ads should be show any carton network / disney /Nickelodeon ads while you switch channels Animax. Each channels should be category...

Watch animax - ads either animax itself / disney ads / carton network ads... (Or introduce something kids food or kids event)

Watch fox movies - ads new movies launch in local cinema / hbo movies ads (Or introduce new luxury car / motobikes / any new products such as smartphones like professional one)

Watch chinese channels - ads should be all chinese... (But sometimes suddenly show India ads there.. shakehead.gif ) Totally don't know this astro staff doing... puke.gif

It's seems like astro don't know how to category the ads, macam copy n paste the ads video simply every channels... I think got brainless advertiser staff in astro... That why comes like this quality...

Oh, I get your point... icon_rolleyes.gif Some of the secondary/primary school got install astro.. (That why called astro in school~)

That's totally useless one..
I think they will purposely install astro, due to sometimes new customers/parents sit in the meeting room to watch channels temporary (to avoid boring during waiting time) while waiting for teachers/tutors come to meeting room for further discuss regarding your kid's thing.

There are no such thing as "MPEG4 SD set-top-box" as you mentioned for Astro. For Astro, if you want to watch SD channels in MPEG4, you need to use B.yond box cuz it has native support of MPEG4 video codec.

Actually, those legacy Astro set-top-box (manufactured by Nokia and Philips ones) are considered outdated, obsolete and old technology. It only supports DVB-S, MPEG2 video in SD resolution, and many more. Astro is already actually in transition to migrate to B.yond platform. However the migration/transition is done slowly. It is unsure why is it done slowly, and seems like Astro is taking their sweet time and for them it's like nothing to rush.

Once the migration is done, all Astro customers (including Njoi) will be using B.yond boxes only, and the ones that still using legacy set-top-boxes will be discontinued by Astro and viewers will not able to watch any channels. That time, you can expect SD channels to utilise MPEG4 video codec with AAC audio codec.

All Indonesia pay TV operators using MPEG4 codec.
*
If astro force those old existing customers (who use existing legacy set up box) replace to new astro beyond decoder, sure some of customers sure terminate one.

Coz the new decoder must attached with smart card. Meaning that if you use the particular smart card to another decoder device, it won't work at all.

Astro is kinda noob and no proper system especially for njoi plan. I even email to astro.. If the njoi decoder faulty in the future, customers cannot purchase the replacement of new decoder. In fact, astro request us to subscribe purely new njoi package.

It kinda duplicate new njoi account again n again until around 3 or 4 njoi plan. Don't you think feel lebih?

But astro not give free preview to watch all good channel.
Atleast bagi seminggu macam starhub singapore pun dah cukup. sad.gif

Masa menang anugerah putra brand awards haritu siap bagi seminggu boleh pulak mad.gif laugh.gif

What we can expect from astro monopoly is still going and with no competition astro won't provide you more new good HD channel and give free preview when holiday.

Even if their exclusive monopoly expire. I don't think terus 1 Mac 2017 ada company baru nak apply jadi syarikat pay tv. doh.gif

Even the new company have best channel maybe diorang takkan provide best channel like AXN HD, FOX HD, ONE HD yang masih ada exclusive contract dengan Astro. sad.gif

This CNY njoi got free some channels..
You can see this when you access your astro portal under your account.

But I have semi problem for njoi decoder, it is dmt4 decoder. Sometimes it hang either unable display the video but have sound or decoder does not display channel info.

Is this consider a problem for the decoder?

Today I just by pass the road and saw the Astro Miri here.
I just walk in to pay the astro bill and saw the terminal machine all "temporary down". shakehead.gif

Go to counter to make payment and the astro staff need to "verify" the IC owner 1st before make a payment.
Do you all come across for this to verify? unsure.gif

I just feel curious customers have money to pay your bill, but why need IC to verify before make payment?
Kinda stupid it's seems like only owner can arrange the payment.

Hmm... First time hear about requiring IC for verification to pay bills. Why not pay online or something? Or consider sign up for auto debit so that you don't have to hassle to pay Astro bills on time... It's very troublesome if you did not pay the bills by the due date, your Astro account is being suspended and might have to pay RM20 for reconnection fee.
*
You're right, I can pay it online.
However, I just by-pass the highway and saw astro branch not very far at there. So I just pusing inside the shoplot and pay the bill sekali.

So back home I not need to log-in astro portal (stupid slow portal) to pay the bill.
I won't be sign up auto debit for this monopoly company and not believe their bill system.
So normally I pay accurate amount to them.

There is only 1 choice you PM to astro Malaysia by facebook by providing your astro account number, smart card number and full name (if I'm not wrong)

The responding time depend because sure a lot of people inquiry and complain previous month, so normally astro customer service need to follow up for that 1st..
