Perhaps maybe the viewership of warner tv or Oh!K is quite poor, so only to use Hello channel to boost and make customer to subscribe original programs feed.

Well I guess so..
Simply astro would add / create new channel without any valid reason.. They not charity.. Its profit oriented company 😑

With regards to the UHD , I wonder if the quicker and cheaper way for them to hit the initial rollout would be to allow it on smart TV app Astro Go. This way the can control the always present piracy concern as it will not allow for HDMI out to a video capture card and they don't need to invest in any new hardware. Similar to how BBC broadcasted the recent tennis and world cup to their customers in the UK. Of course sky did it differently but there is an option at least. I know LG has the Astro Go app on the webOS platform for sure.

This Astro Go Smart TV app right?

Live TV not bad... But not all LG TV support it. Need webOS. Most of this webOS built-in only available in 4K Smart TV. smile.gif

Android TV OS also has the Astro go app I believe. But it's a little sluggish.

I guess astro never tested the Go app on a Android TV, makes sense.

no, smart tv with androidtv does not have astrogo approved in the playstore.

but... u can sideload it together with a couple of other tricks.

works well, in HD, been using it for some time now.


besides androidtv tv's, i read only the current smart LG models can do astrogo, no other.

I wonder if it will be allowed to show the UHD feeds if indeed this is how Astro plans to roll out UHD .

I meant the Android TV OS is sluggish , I did side load Astro Go into my older Android Box but it was a little difficult to navigate. Will need to pull out the MiBox to compare if it does support but as AVFan indicated looks like not officially supported as yet.

astro has never been known for generosity.

i wud think when they roll out UHD for the decoders, they will charge for it, just like they charge for HD.

then for astrogo, if the subscriber pays for UHD, users of this subscriber's account may get UHD too.

UHD is no big deal as far as speed is concerned - netfllix 4k only requires 25mbps; sky UK, Bein in europe have all gone UHD.

(only rtm and the rest still stuck with SD even after spending/wasting the billions.)

Hmmm........ Either Turner moved their HD bug to the left hand side when they know astro recording the programs for Hello or they are progs provided by Turner for astro playback on the Hello channel, haha

Yeah I actually meant that if one is subscribed to UHD service. Still it remains to be seen how they will rollout UHD, whether via a new decoder or via built in smart TV app.

But then need to see how many channel available for UHD quality?
If only 1 channel available for UHD, and still charge separate for UHD 20 buck. Then it's ridiculous already.

Very true, however if that channel is meant for UHD broadbast of EPL matches I doubt they can give it for free or at a low price. It depends on their business model for the UHD channels in my opinion.

There are a lot of rants on Astro here for sure. I hv tried to think of what would work and it does seem like there is a general belief that Astro prices are too expensive and if there was competition it would make it so much cheaper and better. However, I don't think it's as simple as that. I think at some point, people would need to think about it as a business as well. But there has to be a common ground and something that works for the majority.

No surprise..
Like I said previously.. They would just take the SD feed only..
No way, they would offer HD specifically...

anyhow.. Just realized that now RTM & TV3 on astro platform is in 16:9 ratio 😃
Quality still SD whistling.gif
