Interesting...
Astro seems very desperate now...
All the old customers they call giving offers...
Their numbers must be very bad...

guys, if lupa pvr pin, what is best way to solve this? reset pvr?

Think mine is the Beyond decoder

Just checked it works but I don't know where I kept the remote plus the volume was put on mute when I last used it

Looks like gotta borrow my neighbour punya to increase the volume but channel manually press till I find where it is

Exactly!! I think RM36 for basic HD pack for New customers is quite reasonable

Please do take care,this is tele marketing nothing on paper,so you must be cautious when you sign up! I had the same offer so I suggested they email the Offer to me but they never did or called me back! Request them to email their offer to you ,if they dont forget it

Yeah.. Quite okay rate..
Meanwhile current existing customers pay higher 😴

Paytv and telecommunication (internet and mobile plans) are among the items in the list of proposed service tax. Same old.

End of the day its all a political game Assteruk was the first to start SST many years before GST! The rakyat are biggest losers ! Gobind was boasting of cheap internet,what is cheap end of the day!

Thick is too early to conclude

If broadband prices were reduced and sst imposed, it'll still be cheaper right?

If I'm not mistaken...
SST previously don't have on Astro bill.. Only during GST have..
As for telecommunications.. Yes.. All my bills have SST previously...

Just for shares, the replacement chs for the Discovey suite of chs on Starhub, slowly making their way to launch soon, some of the ch names are up on the EPG:

nice work.

Meanwhile astro Krik krik in adding any new channels

but they are currently testing one 4K channel in HEVC (lyngsat info).

No 4KTV to watch that channel....
Better upgrade Discovery to HD much better. Sigh want to watch Shark Week but not available in HD. Even, Hlive International promote that...

Oh really?
International channel or in house one??

"This will be followed by broadcast of EPL in never seen before Ultra HD in October 2018 setting another historical milestone with the first Ultra HD broadcast in Malaysia. In total we expect to launch four Ultra HD channels comprising live sports and general entertainment."

100% in-house channel.

They better work on poor video quality of their SD channels first. Barely watchable even on 40 inch tv.

They won't do that because more SD channels = more profits, more HD channels without increasing in price = less profit, HD = bandwidth, bandwidth = money spent.

Also, they said that they will "only focus in in-house and sports channels" in the same website that I have shared before.

"Investing in Vernacular and Local content
Astro’s collective strength in talent and vernacular IPs, its brands, its customer reach and engagement across its media assets lends the company a unique and differentiated edge to sustain strong demand amongst all Malaysian customer personas. The company has every intention to build on these strengths, for example, the Karangkraf JV in creating a deeper engagement with the Malaysian customers."

"Reclaiming our premium segment
Rohana said: “We are excited to bring 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, this year’s largest sporting event globally, to all Malaysians. The 2018 FIFA World Cup will mark our commitment to reclaim our premium customer personas like never before...
