Malaysian one still HD, right?

If you check out astro TV guide or their webpage guide program...

Sun TV or all Indian based channels is in HD....

Pure HD or just "Fake" HD @ lower bandwidth is yours to make decisions....

Yes.
The only Indian channels in Astro that is not in HD are Adithya and Sun Life.
Just because you don't see "HD" indicator on the channel logo, it doesn't mean it is not in HD. You should observe the picture quality on your own eyes, not by looking at the channel logo whether got "HD" or not.

The difference you see between India's or Singapore's versions, is because it is a different feed with different programming and ads.

Not "nowadays". Astro has been desperate since decades ago.

Why do you think it is a mistake when they want to simplify their offerings?

Ad spends by advertisers is also dropping since quite some time already, as many advertisers would rather put their ads on digital platforms like social media and YouTube ads, where there's more eyeball and able to track engagement better.
But Astro also their other digital platform websites like Gempak or Stadium Astro, which they're also putting ads on it, hence another revenue for them, but I don't think it is still as significant as pay TV subscription revenue.

On top of ads, I'm sure they're also relying on Astro Fibre sign ups to push their ARPU higher.

Seriously, I don't think the "sudden charge of paper bill" is intentional. It could be an isolated incident and it really seems like their system bug to me, which is still a bad thing, as it appears that they didn't do proper checks when doing some backend deployments.

Before you change...

Try bringing the box to any electronics repair shop.... See what's their opinion.... If they say same thing....

Then only call astro & ask for upgrades....
