Advert for F1 has been showing for the past week IIRC, even spliced in by Astro on the SpoTV feed

They're probably receiving clean feeds for UHD quality, so Astro just add whatever channel logo they want before broadcast to viewers.
*
I wonder if the UHD feed has commercials when Fox shows theirs on the HD feed

Examples that is exclusive on Sirius TV: Most of the channels that SPI International own (DocuBox, FilmBox, etc.), Drama Channel (In-house?)

These asides, I don't know other stuffs about Sirius TV.
*
Sounds like the channels that are on Roku/Pluto TV, aka free channels hmm.gif

If you're asking why SPOTV's PQ is sometimes bad, here is a screencap of the original feed of SPOTV, unedited:

Yeah. I noticed it also blurry for SpoTV2 on UnifiTV. Seems that they are feeding 720p feeds. Also their Volleyball coverage is only 30FPS. 30!!! Shocking

seems like astro go (or astro id?) gone into login problem.

The SSO is overloaded it seems. You can't even login to Astro from the normal site to check your billing/etc

They have already used SpoTV feed for Motogp on Mio Sports last weekend. So that was a one off I presume

sharing some pixs of the SPOT TV and SPOTV 2 chs that launched on Singtel this morning ... pic quality was good but seems like promos are very generic with no dates or time for upcoming programs, ie. only show the limited sports properties and end with their logo. Some promo has conversion issue (probably from 30FPS to 25FPS), had double visuals overlapping, lol.
Mio Sports 2 also reverting to be a ad hoc channel, shortchanging viewers again, typical Singtel.

After seeing Astro, Unifi TV and this image, I am convinced that SpoTV is using upscaled 720p feeds for South East Asia

Just want to ask is BBC FIRST and BBC BRIT will be launched in two days time? Don't know everyone forget this or not?

I have these since I already have Unifi. I use BBC First usually to watch Dr Who and Top Gear

Does this affect NETFLIX Malaysia?

Unlikely, since when Netflix (or any other web streaming service) converts their movie to for web, they are not restricted to the PAL/NTSC conversion as broadcast medium does

Let's see how much of these "Disney Originals" would end up on Hotstar at the same time

Yes, currently, it's only on Astro GO / VOD for Astro subscribers. I highly suspect that the exclusive app distribution for BBC Player in Malaysia is handled by unifi.
*
Yep. Basically https://bbcasia-web.evergent.com/ will trigger a database check to cross compare if your IP is a unifi TV subscriber or not, and would then redirect back to BBC iPLayer with the proper authorisation. Techinically you can host a VPN on a unifi line with UnifiTV, and get BBC Iplayer working on a non unifi ISP through the VPN

How about watching through mobile data after signing in to a unifi Account in the BBC Player app?

IIRC as long as the app stays in memory, you are fine. The moment it restarts, it will re-trigger the check. This happens with my BBC Player app on Android TV, so I presume it will be similar with the mobile version

For those who are not using smart TVs (or TVs that somehow don't have easy access to these apps), or those who don't have TV boxes, soon they'll be able to straightaway able to access those apps on their Ultra/Ulti Box.
*
Also this means they don't have to exit the Astro Ultra Box ecosystem, especially those that have multiple media boxes hooked up to different HDMI inputs

Hopefully access to Disney app via Ultrabox will come in by December. Currently still switching between Hdmi inputs between Chromecast and Ultrabox.

My TV will blank out for 15 seconds when changing HDMI input. It's freaking annoying when I need to change between my Android Box and Astro dry.gif

Meanwhile, the Fox Sports Facebook page has changed to "ESPN Asia" since yesterday. hmm.gif

What could it mean? Would we see ESPN channel come back to Asia again in the near future? hmm.gif

Maybe via Disney+ or Hotstar? IIRC ESPN is still under Disney

Might be a streaming service like Bein Connect

If it is, then it would still be under Disney+ and Hotstar. Disney wants everything through their app. Hence why Hotstar india has all their grandfathered sports license that they have from Star Sports days streamed through there

If ESPN Asia is back soon on TV, i don't understand why Disney pull off the plugs on Fox Sports since they have the broadcast rights until 2022 which they subsequently sold to others like Astro (F1), motoGP (SPOTV). They could easily rebrand Fox Sports to ESPN Asia on 1st of October. It's kind of confusing.
*
Streamlining maybe.

Also if you check their FB, the contact person is from Disney

How do I fix this thing? I tried to do anything but it's still not working.
But I tried it on Windows 7, it work's just fine.
That screenshot over there is using Windows 11.

Have you tried using a different browser?
