K-Mania is the channel name... I just saw the add just now and I saw running man in it... such a rojak

Some screen grabs from Astro Aura and Rania channels. Clean feed though (for now, we'll see how it goes).

Btw most (or all) of the content offerings from those channels are similar to unifi TV's Pesona channel. Well, it's distributed by Surya Citra Media, the network that brings Indonesian viewers Indosiar and SCTV.

From Astro Aura:





From Astro Rania:





Bahasa Malaysia & English subtitles are available for select shows.

Erm it's not "more" Indonesian channels on Astro...

Bintang and Pelangi channel will cease broadcast on 31 May 2020.
So we all can assume that Astro Rania (HD) and Astro Aura (HD) is here to replace it, and part of Indo Pek.

No need to worry...
Astro has its in-house movie channels such as Astro Box Office Tayangan Hebat and BOO to show Indonesian movies.

If those very new ones, then maybe it'll be on Astro First or something.

Looks that Astro Njoi is pretty desperate these days to tell you to subscribe to Njoi Prepaid channels. 
       

You say STOP, but Njoi say NO.
You think they would let you off so easily? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What to do? Free satellite TV service is like that one la. Even though you enjoy watching Astro channels without monthly fees, so they annoy you a bit during this Raya. 
Send one SMS not enough, so they multiple times in a day, to remind you to spend money on them. 

Maybe because SMS messages from Njoi is not considered "spam", so perhaps that explains why sending "STOP" wouldn't work like how you would to stop receiving ads or spam SMS from the sender. 

Btw those who subscribe to Njoi, do you guys face similar situation like this recently? 
-----------------------------------
UPDATE: Just few minutes ago, he still receive another SMS from Njoi... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Njoi seriously don't wanna let him go 

Lesson learnt: They won't 'senyum' at you until the day you go subscribe to their 'Pek Senyuman' 

After 1-2 weeks of crawlers running on the screen that the 3 Disney Channel's may be dropped, Singtel decided to put the plug to drop them .... The same goes for Starhub, which has also dropped them earlier today .... Seems like Disney is greedy and asking for a ton of money. DreamWorks Ch also launched today (as a replacement).

Or they might as well launch it as a standalone OTT service? Similar like Netflix? 

Certain communities aren't happy about this...


During MCO, many customers begging Astro to open up cartoon channels for free, eventually Astro opened up Cartoon Network.
Now complimentary viewing of channels has ended, and some customers now turn against Cartoon Network, urging Malaysians to "ban" or "boycott" Cartoon Network because of some LGBT "issues".

Hmm, what you guys think?

Off topic. Seems sirius tv have some new info
[attachmentid=10522589]

Just want to ask why 8TV (channel 148) always blackout during airing programme. Others channels don't have this issue.

Oh well.....

Time to say goodbye soon?

It's already been like that for years to decades... Nothing special about that 
16:9 commercials shown in 4:3 aspect ratio with letterbox.

Work as broadcast engineers, but...

- lazy to bother about aspect ratio
- not too concern about aspect ratio
- assume that viewers don't care about aspect ratio; not everyone cares about blackbars shown on top and bottom of the screen
- "my engineering course teaches me "SD is 4:3, HD is 16:9", so Astro Awani is SD quality, so 4:3 is the correct one  "
- "care so much for what? as long got picture appear on screen, then I happy already."
- "stretched image and letterbox only mah. it's not that you can't watch also."
- nobody in Astro tells me to make it 16:9 fit to screen, so since no ones tells me that, then I better don't create unnecessary trouble by 'messing around the settings'.
- "stretched image? tell that customer to change the aspect ratio mode to "LB Expand" on their TV or Astro box. if the customer still not convinced, tell that customer 'SD is 4:3, HD is 16:9'"
- "I just select and follow the predefined/preset settings on my system here. I don't want to touch other stuff. I don't wanna lose my job for creating trouble later. "
- "there's too much office politics here. I better don't create new office politic just because of aspect ratio thinggy.
- "huh? aspect ratio? what is that? I only know SD and HD."
- "aspect ratio is a very complicated, complex, and confusing stuff to understand. I better don't touch it."
- "tell that customer, because SD is transmitted in 576i while HD is transmitted in 1080i which gives you 5x more picture detail than SD.... use irrelevant answers with some technical terms in it, then customer would buy it and keep their mouth shut.
- "customer still not convinced? just act dumb."

Upcoming HD channels

TVBE HD
AWANI HD

Anyone know this channel in YT? They on acid or smtg?

Of course, a 10-year-old Roblox/Minecraft fan made this.

Kids these days are always imagining things with their own cellphone, but has no knowledge about how to make it real.
Imagine how surprised would it be if their parents found out he/she was making Astro channel mockups because they thought Astro should make new channels every day.

Sometimes mockups can be created with many things, like say using animation creator sites to make things like idents, lineups, and such. The worst offender has got to be the ones made with GoAnimate/Vyond.

I guess their parents forgot to put their Google Family Link on. 

Astro's sense of humour, to share stuff like these. 

Hi Bro... joshhd
Another snapshot...🤔
That overlapping prob affects also SINGLE line subtitles...
As in snapshot attached below >>>

Well English programmes not really the fan-favourite for common people. But hopefully Astro did not make that kinda decision, FX is my favourite channels for limited award-winning series.. 😭
