I hope that Discovery won't replace Nat Geo completely.
I'm fine with replacing Nat Geo People with something else, but please, keep both NGC and NGW.

Is it just me or is this kinda blurry as heck? This cannot be the right information.
They could be clowning the Astro subscribers as we talk.

I noticed this and happened to be TV3. Other channel checked out OK when it happened. The sound volume suddenly went loud and then so low until hardly hear anything. Increased volume and it would be so loud on other channel.

Possible software bug. Maybe Astro should consider fixing that issue.
Meanwhile, Astro be like: 🗿🗿🗿🗿

Hmmm... hmm.gif
In that case, so 3 movie channels (413, 414 and 415) ceases on October 2021, while so far what we all know is 2 movie channels would be the channel replacement, namely HBO Hits and HBO Family.
How about that 1 remaining movie channel? How's Astro going to justify that, and provide an explanation to the customer? hmm.gif

Would Astro include Boo (404) as part of the Movies pack, or we shall wait till HBO Max officially launches in Malaysia, and then all existing Movies pack customers can enjoy HBO Max without additional charges?

Or Astro can just use Fam Movies (400) channel as an "undisputable excuse" since that channel is available only to Movies pack customers?
Hmm, interesting... We shall see how laa... biggrin.gif

Just wait and see. It's all they can do.
Maybe one day Astro will try to either clown its subscribers with nothing new in return OR, let us pray for Astro to do something that is ACTUALLY helpful to its subscribers.

It's a matter of when will Astro take action after those channels disappear like Thanos snapped half of the Avengers.

(btw, Now TV HK now carries Astro Cricket, replacing Star Cricket as of Sep. 1)

I gotta agree with this one. We have something similar like this on my pay-TV provider which airs mostly just stolen sports clips off YouTube.
Honestly, it's a lot worse than replacing a set of 3 sports channels. A big NO on this one because RTM should consider airing ACTUAL live shoves instead of just compilations being played over and over again.

Looks like Fox Movies is ready for the farewell. Kinda reminds me of the HBO India one.

Unfortunately, I'm no longer allowed to enter the site.
Apparently TM has now geo blocked non-Malaysian IPs from accessing Unifi's site.
It just throws me an error message when I tried it now.

Is there a way to show me the new channels for Unifi in screenshots?

Preas release from Acla Media Group (SPOTV) on the launch on SPOTV in Southeast Asian market.

user posted image Acla Media Group launches SPOTV instead of FOX Sports Asia in Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia

■ In addition to MotoGP, golf and tennis, popular sports leagues in Korea and Japan are also scheduled to be broadcast.



Accra Media Group, which has expanded the domestic sports media market by operating 7 TV channels including SPOTV and SPOTV NOW, the only sports OTT service in Korea, will advance into 13 Southeast Asian countries.



Acla Media Group (hereinafter referred to as Acla) announced on the 14th that through a press release on the 14th, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia and Mongolia where FOX Sports Asia was serviced. , announced that it will launch a new channel for Southeast Asian targets branded as SPOTV and SPOTV2 channels from October 1 in 13 Southeast Asian countries, including Myanmar. These two channels plan to prioritize Southeast Asia's popular sports and Fox Sports Asia's major content separately from existing domestic channels. In addition, he added that SPOTV NOW, a sports OTT service, will be launched sequentially in major countries.



Fox Sports Asia, which has been broadcasting major sports based in Southeast Asia since the early 1990s, was absorbed into Disney after the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney in 2019. Accordingly, attention has been focused on the direction of major contents and sports channel business that have been supplied to Southeast Asian countries.



Since 2017, Aklar has been broadcasting contents of global sports brands such as the Premier League, MLB, UFC, and NBA through SPOTV NOW, Korea's first sports OTT service. In addition, in Japan, through its own brand SPOZONE, it has been expanding the sports media market by servicing MLB and other domestic sports in Japan. This entry into Southeast Asia is significant in that it is the first in Korea to directly enter a sports genre media platform rather than individual content.



As a part of that, Acla also announced that it had signed a broadcasting right contract with MotoGP (hereinafter MotoGP), a world-class motorcycle racing sport, in a total of 14 countries including Korea. MotoGP, called 'F1 (Formula 1) of the motorcycle world', is one of the most popular sports in Southeast Asia, where competitions are also held in Malaysia and Thailand. In addition, popular sports contents in Korea and Japan, starting with golf and tennis, will also be broadcast through SPOTV.



Acla Hongwon CEO said, "SPOTV's entry into Southeast Asia is meaningful in that it will be able to present the first Asian sports channel created by an Asian to more than 650 million Southeast Asian viewers." Going beyond that, we will publicize the status of the Korean broadcasting brand to Southeast Asian sports fans and be reborn as a sports platform that encompasses Southeast Asia.”

Good news. That means Transvision won't have to replace Fox Sports with another crappy inhouse channel. Just replace it with SPOTV instead.

"those are very good replacements."
Some people :

"kenapa tak letak HBO?"

That was my opinions on the Unifi TV's replacement channels.
But of course, there will be some backlashes from other people.

In fact, if they want HBO, there's HBO GO. If they want to terminate, you'll have to pay for the termination fee. and return the equipment.

Now, I doubt whether PRIMEtime will show the latest episode of Disney/FOX series. I found this on their website.

"PRIMEtime channel will show popular series from FOX including Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Riviera, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Criminal Minds, MasterChef, Keeping Up with the Kardashians and more."

Then, where's the new series/episodes? The new episodes of SVU will premiere on Rock Entertainment. Fyi, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Criminal Minds ended a year ago, so Astro will probably rerun these series on the channel. No idea about Masterchef for now.

Also, their plan for Showcase Movies is similar to PRIMEtime.

"SHOWCASE MOVIES will feature The Avengers, Doctor Strange, Thor, Captain America: Civil War, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Maze Runner, Pirates of the Caribbean, Percy Jackson, The Transporter and more."

The examples of movies that they give are older movies. Kinda wondering if they will air something new or just use both channels as the alternatives for those who prefer linear channels over OTT apps.
*
Also, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" was an E! show long before E! Asia had ceased. How is this a FOX show when it's actually isn't?
So, I assume that the Primetime channel is picking up the show from He110 where they left off.

I assume it was because of internal management with the content provider itself.
Also, there was a possibility that ART Variety is currently suffering from low viewership.

DIDN'T HEARD THE NEWS

USA: G4 is back to be relaunched this fall 2021 (Not confirmed yet). G4 was ceased transmission in the U.S., 7 years ago. Follow G4 on FB, Twitter, Twitch, YT and Reddit for more updates for us.
UK: BBC Three will be back on Q1 2022 via Television. BBC Three was absent on TV, 5 years ago.

G4's comeback was actually revealed last year, and yes, it's coming back. Hopefully, TechStorm will pick some of their shows up for Asian release.
Also, BBC Three just recently got a green light from Ofcom to basically come back to the telly next year, so that's good.

How will this work? The Ultra box contains the Netflix app, so you just start it and login?

Many of the smart TVs nowadays have a Netflix app built in with a Netflix button on the remote.

When can we watch Disney+ on the Astro box itself?

You can even link Astro's account with Netflix for billing, too.
Just like Starhub and Sky Cable.
