If anyone read the October 2021 rate card, the following channels will start on 1 October 2021:
1. Showcase Movies
2. Primetime
3. Lifetime
4. Paramount Network
5. Astro Arena 2
6. Astro Superports 5
7. SPOTV
8. BBC Earth
9. BBC Lifestyle
No mention about HBO Hits & HBO Family though.

So tomorrow is Sep 15, 2021, then why Astro moves some to-cease channels’ LCN in the first place?

Astro now randomly puts up the banner on left corner of the screen to notify viewers about the channel number change during programme. Click/tap the spoiler below to see how it looks like:

So just now I'm just playing around with Astro's EPG and found more channels coming to Astro, but no channel number available:
- HBO Hits (https://content.astro.com.my/channels/449) - Probably replacing Ch 413?

- HBO Family (https://content.astro.com.my/channels/450) - Probably replacing Ch 414?
user posted image
- SHOWCASE MOVIES (https://content.astro.com.my/channels/454) - No EPG, Probably replacing Ch 400?

It goes like this:

From Oct 1, 2021

Ch 413 - Showcase Movies, replacing FOX Movies
Ch 414 - HBO Family, replacing FOX Family Movies
Ch 415 - HBO Hits, replacing FOX Action Movies

Starting tomorrow till the end of broadcast on Sep 30, 2021, all FOX Movies network will move through Ch 417, 418 & 419 respectively.

Followed by these channels as well:

Ch 554 is now BBC Earth. Discovery Science moves to Ch 557.
Ch 703 is now Lifetime. FOX Life moves to Ch 721.
Ch 704 is now Astro PRIMEtime. FOX moves to Ch 722.

All these new Astro channels will be available in the plug-and-play Ultrabox?

With Astro losing all these Fox movies channels, where and how can we subscribe to watch these Fox channels on big TV instead of streaming in our computer?
*
Possibility, as all new channels are available to stream via Astro GO as well.

For Disney & FOX shows, selected titles will fill-in the slot on both in-house channels namely SHOWCASE MOVIES (Ch 413) and PRIMEtime (Ch 704). Or you can stream them on-demand through Disney+ Hotstar, as most other contents are available there.

Just want to ask you guys, does anyone noticed that Discovery+ is coming to Philippines via Globe?
So that means MY version is coming really soon.

Yep, since Astro’s been a long-time partner of Discovery Networks, Malaysia’s gonna be next. Just don’t know when it’s gonna launch.

Wow.. That subtitle font size of CM+, so big 🤣

Maybe it's because of the complaints from visual-impaired viewers there? That usually subtitles are too small to read on big TV screens?

So... about that Unifi rating bumper... There are a few things that really made my head scratch.

1. The rating symbols were pretty generic and looks like it's churned out from Powerpoint.
2. Compared to Astro, the animations on the Unifi's rating bumper was pretty lacklustre. Wish they tried harder at making something as decent as Astro's.
*
The classification rating symbols are officially from the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia (LPF) itself.
Here are some photo attachments, and the video samples of it aired on unifi TV channels since sirca 2012.

Currently, both Astro ASSP5 and unifi Sports 1 air live matches of the UFC Dana White's Contender Series. unifi TV subscribers get scammed as the supposed 'live' feed of the UFC matches is actually delayed between 3-5 mins due to the interruption of unifi TV ads.

beIN Sports 2 launch?

Eh, what did they mean by 17-30 Jan 2022?
beIN Sports 2 will be just a pop-up channel on Astro, or what?
*
beIN Sports 2 starts airing Jan 15, 2022, onwards on Ch 817, as shown in the picture.

Then maybe soon Astro will renumber all beIN Sports channels.

It looks like this:

Ch 817 - beIN Sports 1
Ch 818 - beIN Sports 2
Ch 819 - beIN Sports 3

or like this by moving SPOTV through Ch 819 instead, since it's only one channel for now.

Ch 816 - beIN Sports 1
Ch 817 - beIN Sports 2
Ch 818 - beIN Sports 3
Ch 819 - SPOTV

You can watch beIN Sports 2 now before Astro launch by subscribing to beIN Sports Connect: https://connect-my.beinsports.com/en/subscribe

Well, as expected a long ago. TVIQ contents majorly are old programs anyway, meanwhile Naura should be merged with Oasis as those two are really similar towards Islamic programming. That doesn’t surprise me after all.
