QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 17 2021, 06:20 PM) Since your Ultra Box is installed not long ago, there will be a 6 months installation warranty. OK, let me monitor further and I think SCNA message just popped up as well. Contact Astro customer service, report this issue to them, and then arrange a technical visit. Let the technician settle. It shall be free of charge. ![]() I don’t want that Yap installer anymore. ![]() Ash577 liked this post

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 21 2021, 11:03 PM) Okay.... Astro TVIQ channel now apparently, has Go Shop product placement slot too. About two years ago, they even aired GoShop content on WLT! I was so angry and told them, this is not acceptable as I paid hefty amount for Dynasty package and not to watch your GoShop when you already have dedicated channels for those.![]() ![]() "Do you want to be healthy, smart and strong? Then you need Vitamin C!" That host, even uses kids friendly voice tone to talk and interact with the 2 children as what you saw on the screenshot... So now they target on children products, on a "kids learning" channel, Astro TVIQ? So, does it means we will see Go Shop product placements on children related products on Astro Ceria and Astro Xiao Tai Yang in the future as well? Very nice lah. ![]() If I am a kid watching that, and I want to be healthy, smart, and strong, I would convince my parents to buy that yummy Vitamin C gummies. Children are easily convinced, you see.... They came back told me it is due to CNY period and it will be removed after a while. I said still not convinced enough, they came back with the date it will be removed. I complained to MCMC by the way, I called CS first but they said nothing can be done. So I pursued further and not long after that, someone from Complaint Resolution Unit called me to explain and I was given free 1 month for such inconvenience. |

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 22 2021, 01:23 PM) You're given 1 month of free subscription because of that? They promised not to do anymore on paid channels. I thought all are paid? Anyway, I don’t see anymore on WLT (now Jade).Ah, they do this because they just want to shut your mouth. Meanwhile, they will still continue to do whatever they are been doing. joshhd liked this post

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 22 2021, 01:48 PM) Put it this way. You think that 1 month subscription fees will make me richer? Imagine you are "Brand X" and you want to advertise your product brand on Astro channels, to reach more viewers and create awareness of your brand and product. So for sure, the overall costs for advertisers aren't gonna be cheap, but you'll know it's worth it because the potential viewer reach is a lot, thanks to millions of Malaysians that subscribes to Astro. I don't know how much is it, but let's assume it's about RM30k for just airing your product on existing Astro channel. Let's say your product will be "forcefully aired" and "slotted in" on Astro AEC on this particular date at 1-2pm. Just air one time only, you have to pay overall advertising fees of RM30k. However, one of Astro viewer is not happy. He complain why there's suddenly a Go Shop slot on Astro AEC? After the customer making noise here and there, and Astro don't see any signs of giving up from this dispute customer, and they are also internally fed up already, eventually Astro offers the dispute customer of 1 month free subscription, hoping that the customer will give up and shut up. Fortunately for Astro, customer agreed to the offer. Therefore, the case is closed and finally put at rest. See what I mean now? Okay. Astro acknowledge that there will be customer that is not happy about it. But then, look at the bigger picture, Go Shop helps advertisers to get its products to reach more viewers. At the same time, Astro get to earn RM30k. So, losing a 1 month worth of subscription fee (e.g. assuming you are Super Pack 3 RM146/month) is still better than losing RM30k of income from Go Shop. In conclusion, happy customer is important. But when a company's revenue is declining, customer happy also no use. If customer don't care about the company, then who's gonna care about the company? Company will rather sacrifice your happiness for their revenue to grow, cuz nobody wants to die. ![]() QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 22 2021, 01:51 PM) That's bulls**t. My mom told me about HHD too, I told her to let me know the timing and I will make complaint.Astro Hua Hee Dai does airs Go Shop occasionally, especially during festive season like CNY. For those who don't know, Astro Hua Hee Dai is not a "free" channel like Astro AEC. And don't be surprised if Astro Xiao Tai Yang starts to advertise children products (Go Shop slot) someday in the future. Astro will do anything for profits. joshhd liked this post

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 22 2021, 08:03 PM) The main point is not about making you richer whatsoever. The reason why I agreed to close the case is because they agreed to stop it after a date at that time.They'll just want to quickly close the case and shut your mouth for good. Cuz they know that it will bring them no good if the particular MCMC complaint is being "investigated" for so long (e.g. many months) |

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 23 2021, 02:43 PM) Hmmm... I have no comment about that then. So far my complaints to MCMC are working. I complained about TM, Digi, Maxis, Celcom and Astro, all were handled. Maybe some I cannot pursue further due to infra limitation and other reasons, but yeah at least somebody handled.Anyway, thanks for filing a complaint to MCMC. It proves that MCMC complaint is working, like, for real. ![]() joshhd liked this post

QUOTE(ryan18 @ May 4 2021, 12:27 PM) Yeah, I was about to say this. I tried navigating Astro website and it says Super Pack will have that included. I just checked mine is Super Pack 3a, so I assume it is Super Pack. |

True. We are 20+ years with Astro and seems like we are paying more than new customers.
