Btw, can anyone access the full post? 😅

AXN, Vinmeen, Sun TV, Vellithirai(Well apparently only the 16.9 format movies can be seen with clear details). The first 3 channels there's no visible pixels can be seen now. I don't know whether Astro did something on their end under my account or not because I have been in touch with them since end of December. I really hope majority of you here keep complaining to the broadcasting team so that they will fasten up the process of improving the picture quality issue.

Told you so…
No wonder Astro and TM are not bothered with it.

Plus: Maybe they are waiting for the big announcement from Astro this May. That is why they delay the launch of Disney+ Hotstar here?

Finally!
But for me la, that extra RM5 is still cheap with exisiting Movie pack sub when compared with paying RM55/month directly for D+H.
And we have way more content than the normal D+ like in SG and AU.

Quoting an article on variety.com

Disney said that it has signed multi-year content supply agreements with leading Malaysian studios including Skop Productions, Revolution Media Films, Primeworks Studios, WAU Animation, Act 2 Pictures, Les’ Copaque Production and Red Films.

This enables Disney Plus Hotstar to include new Malaysian movies and series at launch or shortly afterwards. Several “will skip theaters and launch straight on the streaming service,” Disney said.

These include “J2: J Retribusi,” from Primeworks, TGV and Infinitus; “Zombitopia” from Skop; and horror picture “Ada Hantu,” starring Hairul Azreen. Another, “Ejen Ali The Movie 2,” will also stream exclusively on the platform after a theatrical run.

The platform has also licensed a library full of other Malaysian content including films like “J Revolusi,” Tombiruo,” “KL Special Force,” “Ejen Ali The Movie,” “Upin & Ipin: Keris Siamang Tunggal,” “Munafik,” “Istanbul Aku Datang!,” the Rock franchise (“Rock,” “Rock Oo!,” “Rock Bro!,” and “Rock 4: Rockers Never Dai”), “Talentime, Mukhsin,” “The Kid From The Big Apple 2,” “Vedigundu Pasangge,” “Evolusi KL Drift 1 & 2,” “KL Gangster 1 & 2,” “Gol & Gincu 1 & 2,” “Guang” and “Redha and Roh.” Acquired local series include “Wifi Sebelah Rumah” and “Semanis Senyumanmu.”

Reflecting the country’s multi-ethnic roots, the platform will also host smaller bundles of Indian and Chinese-language titles. This includes Hindi and Tamil language films and series “Thuppakki,” “Pandian Stores,” and “Vishwaroopam 2,” as well as shows brought over from Star Vijay. Chinese films include Hong Kong-made titles “Infernal Affairs,” “Linewalker 2,” and “Ip Man 4”, and mainland Chinese offerings include “The Deer and the Cauldron,” “The Legend of Haolan” and recent Taiwan art house title “Silent Forest.”

Looks like a lot of focus on local content

well...
Indian market in malaysia is not so big...
also if Disney+ Hotstar goes full with Indian Content... basically would kill off astro own offerings...

anyway, since Malay market is big & important...
why not focus on that... 2 in 1, support local producers/industry & also capture the main Malay Market   

That's not true. Shows like NCIS, Nancy Drew, Magnum P.I. will not be made available on the app since they are not produced or distributed by Disney/FOX in the region. In other words, Disney/FOX only acquires the rights to air these shows on their channels.

Ah yeahh, Astro Box Office Tayangan Hebat channel goes bye bye on 1 June 2021, and Disney/Fox channels ceases on 1 Oct 2021.

So that is where you would start to wonder, does the number of TV channels still matters, if Astro would to somehow "compensate" by offering more OTT platforms in the future? 
For me as long no price hike, then should be ok a bit
