Oscars will be shown on Hello Channel 110. Looks like Astro isnt so stingy this time around. Last time either on HBO or Fox Movies (Movie pack). Are they starting feeling the heat that pay TV subscribers are decreasing?

Now NTV7 full of CJ wow shop. Miss the old NTV7 with anime, Oscars, Grammys etc. I think Media Prima should do it like Mediacorp - 1 Malay channel, 1 Chinese (+Korean, Japanese) channel, 1 English channel, 1 Tamil + Hindi channel.

Just now on Buletin Utama the news said the telcos and companies (Astro & Unifi) will bare the costs. No one knows the truth though.

astro,telcos do not lose a single Sen all these Free services come under CSR (Corporate social responsibility) which in other word means We help you you help us. Not all benefits reach us. For example I pay RM45 for my celcom with 4GB data,so with the so called 1GB Free data,i still pay my RM45, TNB at least gives discount from 30 to 15%, why cant astro give the same? Astro promotes itself at the expense of its paying customers

I'm using tunetalk so on top of 1GB free internet, I will get RM6 extra credit for my RM30 reload.

it is MCMC requirements to censor the unsuitable elements in all linear broadcasts, what to do? they gives the license to operate

however no rules to govern OTT content yet, and no license needed to run an OTT service, that's why VOD is not regulated, you still get to see uncensored GoT in VOD and Astro Go. Oh the previous FINAS CEO that bitched about the no censorship in Netflix? not too long after he's out of that position
*
And one MP from UMNO urged the government to censor OTT which was received with backlash.

Psst... Look at the post closely. Did you get the "hidden message" up there?
Complimentary viewing of all movies and news channels has extended to 28 April.
Can I hear a "yay!" please  blush.gif ?

Also Astro customer:
"THIS IS NOT FAIR!!! I'VE SUBSCRIBED TO MOVIES AND NEWS PACK SINCE LONG TIME AGO, SO TO ME NO DIFFERENCE ALSO... OPEN OTHER CHANNELS OR GIVE ME DISCOUNT!!  bangwall.gif "
"I SUBSCRIBED TO SUPER PACK, PAY FEW HUNDREDS PER MONTH, AND THOSE WHO PAY LESSER THAN ME GET TO ENJOY THOSE CHANNELS FOR FREE???  ranting.gif "


Astro:
I thought you guys wanted the complimentary viewing of channels to be extended?  unsure.gif cry.gif
That's a good news to you all loyal Astro customers, why you guys just can't be grateful on what we offer?  cry.gif
*
Might as well add Astro Go exclusive channels like Kplus, Aniplus and DW to Astro satellite tv too.

Based on this link, no popup channel for Ramadan. Instead they include Ramadan programs in existing channels like Ria, Oasis, Warna, and Naura: https://www.astro.com.my/mediaroom/articled...rnakan-ramadan-

But then, does that price and number of channel(s), put a smile in your face anyway?
Since it's called "Pek Senyuman". Does that make you senyum?  tongue.gif  tongue.gif

More like pakej tangisan. Too expensive for prepaid one.

Does anybody experienced subtitle issue most on astro channel? Sometime the subtitle will stuck or lost  then appear again after sometime... it happend on One HD, HBO, ABO, AXN and more channel...
*
Yes. Very annoying. Surprisigly did not happen on Astro Go. Only on Astro STB. I guess that is the downside of softcoded subtitle compared to hardcoded one.

so guys everyone knows that CMCO extended till 9 June..

How about Astro Free Channel Preview? I assume it's still on 12 May right.. since it's CMCO not MCO tongue.gif

I think free viewing will stop on 12 May 2020. Even the free 1gb internet may stop on that date. Thinking of downgrading to basic package 42.35 per month since there is no live sport and mustika package is full of repeats.

Computerise one mah 😏
Why didn't you sign up for auto debit? It'll auto deduct the amount from your debit/credit card.
I use auto debit as payment method since I subscribe to Astro since loooong time ago. So you can say that I never experience those "service interruption due to forgot to pay" situations...  biggrin.gif

You hutang Astro no use one. You eventually still have to pay. Might as well auto direct debit  biggrin.gif

Hmm... Talking about Mustika package...
I'm just curious... As a Malay, what would you expect from Astro when it comes to Malay channels, or channels in Mustika package?  hmm.gif
As in what kind of programming in Malay channels you'd expect from Astro?
*
This is just my wishful hope:
1. Astro Ria should air new Malay variety show, reality shows, entertainment and music shows
2. Astro Prima should air Malay dramas and movies (movies after 2-3 months premiere on Citra and classic movies)
3. Astro Awani should stick to news and add other factual and documentary/magazine shows
4. Astro Oasis seems redundant with Naura since both air Islamic programmes. Naura should be replaced with other channels on Mustika Pack.
5. Astro Citra should air latest Malay and regional movies at least 6 months after their premiere on Astro First.
6. Astro Warna should add more latest contents like Comedy Central not repeating Raja Lawak & Super Spontan since 2012.

I see...
Well, for Astro Awani, of course, it's a news channel anyway....

So if compare with right now, what do you see on all Astro Malay channels?
Come, fill in the blanks  biggrin.gif

Astro Ria = Quite decent with some new entertainment shows and drama
Astro Prima = A dustbin for programmes previously shown on Ria, Citra, Warna etc.
Astro Oasis = Quite decent with most local Islamic programmes. Should add oversea programmes.
Astro Citra = Repeats all year long. As a movie channel, it should have slots for TV premiere like HBO and Fox Movies.
Astro Warna = Repeats all year long with 1-2 new programmes on monthly basis. Most of them look low in budget and not funny.
Naura = Should not exist at all. Astro Oasis is sufficient for Islamic content.

Agree,

Astro Ria should focus on variety show and local drama.
Astro Prima should be terminated or made avaialble exclusive for Njoi, I don't need a recycle bin channel.
Astro Oasis should just include Naura programmes, replace Naura with other international channes.
Astro Warna should create more contents, add international contents, instead giving free money to those recycle participants of Maharaja Hambar Mega.
Astro Citra should play variety Malay and Asian films, not repeat every two to three months. Should continue with the Citra Originals slot for limited series. Premiers should be on every weekend.

Astro Bella was a great channel tho, show international telenovelas, but yet, they refuse to update the contents. Now its terminated, and Astro still refuse to update the contents for telenovelas. Just keep repeating the already broadcast shows from the old Bella to Prima then Ria then Prima back then Ria, untill kiamat.
*
Yes. Astro Bella had thd potential to become a good channel if Astro add new telenovelas from Latin and dramas from Thailand and Philippines. Too bad Astro keep repeating same old dramas hence the low rating and its cessation.
