Netflix is still a better and cheaper option (minus the sports). Not a sport person so I dont miss anything.

I don't know if u guys realised or not..
Seems like RTM channels in astro are on 16:9 ratio formats... Only Media Prima channels is still the old ratio...

Both as usual still in SD 😏

so basically astro "downgrade" the feed to broadcast in SD 16:9 format   

On your PVR there, home>Preferences>Recordings
Change the Hard Disk management mode to "Manual", not "Auto" or "Warning".
So that it won't auto delete any of your programmes to make way for new programmes.
Once you set to Manual, you will not able to record or download new programmes once your hard disk is full, unless you delete the programmes by your own.

Astro inks US$360m deal for transponder capacity utilisation

April 18, 2019 13:46 pm +08

KUALA LUMPUR (April 18): Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd has inked an agreement with MEASAT Communication Systems Sdn Bhd (MCSSB) for the utilisation of transponder capacity on the MEASAT-3d (M3d) satellite for US$360 million.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Astro said its unit MEASAT Broadcast Network Systems Sdn Bhd (MBNS) has also signed an agreement with MEASAT International (South Asia) Ltd for the early termination of an agreement dated April 12, 2018 for the utilisation of transponder capacity on the MEASAT-3b satellite.

Astro said under the M3d agreement, MCSSB will supply MBNS with the transponder capacity of 12 transponders on the M3d satellite for 15 years from the commencement date.

On the rationale for the agreement, Astro said MBNS is leasing 42 transponders on Measat satellites for its required transponder capacity to provide Direct-to-Home (DTH) and Internet access services to its subscribers.

"However, the lease for 12 transponders on the M3 satellite and 6 transponders on the M3a satellite will expire on Feb 22, 2022 and July 20, 2024, respectively.

"After the expiry, MBNS will only have the use of transponders on 1 operational satellite i.e. the M3b satellite," it said.

Astro said proposed utilisation will allow MBNS to use the transponder capacity on the M3d satellite, which is expected to be launched in 2022.

It said this will satisfy MBNS's business continuity plan requirements so that MBNS will have the use of transponders on at least two operating satellites.

"In addition, with the improvement in video compression technology, it is expected that the 12 transponders on the M3d satellite will be able to replace the 18 existing transponders on the M3 and M3a satellites.

"The proposed early termination will allow MBNS to terminate the lease of the 6 transponders on the M3b satellite which it no longer requires," Astro said.

It added that as the M3d satellite will be co-located with the current MBNS satellites, the satellite dishes of MBNS's subscribers would not need to be re-positioned, thereby minimising any disruption to MBNS's DTH services.

At the midday break today, Astro was flat at RM1.46 with 573,800 shares traded.

Time to 'force' all NJOI subscribers to buy new decoder. Good for revenue flow too.

I mean....after all......similar to GSM 2G and analog TV shutoff around the world........'nobody' actually complain about those shutoffs due to obvious inefficient usage of spectrum after being made available for many years.
