BREAKING: Astro Premier (CH110) to cease on 20 Nov 2024; Astro Warna (CH107) to cease on 3 Dec 2024, without any channel replacement

user posted image
Source: Astro Media Solutions email newsletter
TLDR:

  • Astro Premier (CH110) to cease on 20 Nov 2024, to merge with Astro Citra (CH108)
  • Astro Warna (CH107) to cease on 3 Dec 2024, to merge with Astro Prima (CH105)
  • According to Astro Media Solutions, the reason behind such channel cessation & merger can consolidate higher viewership ratings to the 2 channels, hence make it more appealing for advertisers to advertise their products on the 2 Astro in-house channels.

What a non-compelling excuse given for cost reduction.

Thriving business will not cut cost but to use its resources to generate more revenue.

Only ppl with tyrannical mindset will always silence others and always in denial stage.

Astro already shown in FAQ that if you did not activate HBO Go before 16th November, no access at all to the Max app.
You have to access it via Astro Go or On Demand via Ulti/Ultra Box.

Maybe as a stopgap measure while they upgrade and revamp their packages soon.

Assthrow is not sincere to maximise the customers benefits for transition from Hbo go to Max.
I checked assthrow website and there is no information published that must activate Hbo go before 16 Nov to get Max access, until now.

This is cost avoidance and Assthrow purposely does it to much lesser money to pay to Max for this transition.
Can save few months cost until next year? Maybe because assthrow is damn hungry with money now.

Even if there is technical issue assthrow cannot link, why it will take so long to fix it?
Max app is not available both ultra and ulti.

Unifi tv can provide Max to its customers and can get free 3 months ultimate plan upgrade.
Contrary, assthrow is busying with ugly rebranding all its channels with distasteful "pink and blue" that doesn't add value to the customers.

Also, assthrow posted the picture max with both ultra and ulti. Fake advertising and misleading as not all contents that available at Max is mirror and available on demand @ assthrow.

No I’m just asking for you guys. I’m already on Max Ultimate Plan, free 3 months with Unifi TV. Flawless.

Unifi tv performs much better than assthrow in term of apps and lower in pricing.
Assthrow continues to dream with horrible in-house originals and local contents for its demise.

It also has a Mobile Plan, exclusively on Unifi. Meanwhile, the Ultimate Plan's price is the same as the Standard Plan, with RM18 saved.

Can see unifi is really serious to make its unifi tv thrive.
Unifi tv does not even need adex and making anything like "originals" to survive, like assthrow.

If Unifi tv really fight hard to get the next season of EPL, assthrow better close shop.
More streaming apps will emerge in the market.
Coupled with fiber and 5G has already reached at least 80% of populated area (mostly on unlimited data plan), assthrow has nothing else to offer, to thrive.

Assthrow has big customer base now and not decreasing?

Below is what assthrow quoted in 2023:

We serve 5.3 million homes or 66% of Malaysian TV households, 8,400 enterprises, 17.0 million weekly listeners across Astro Radio (FM and online), and 15.6 million visitors to our digital brands every month.

This is what edge quoted in May 2024:

How many subscribers does Astro Malaysia have?
According to our estimates, paid subscribers account for just under 2.2 million, or about 41%, of its 5.34 million total subscribers at end-January 2024, having lost a million paid subscribers in the past four years since end-January 2019 (see Chart 2).May 29, 2024

Achievement of only RM808,927.20 for this FY?

Even unifi tv didn't focus much on war against piracy as they have more better things to focus on, to get more revenues and profits.

Agreed.
Just wayang that assthrow is doing something.
Services affordable but the contents are constantly repeating?

Look at the tech assthrow is employing... so obsolete
The tech I observed assthrow "improved" is auto activate those dead/closed accounts.

It is a plug & play mode box if assthrow sends it to your friend.
Under plug & play, some channels may not be available, even they allow the maintain the legacy pack and your friend need internet connection to watch assthrow.
Why not call assthrow CS to cancel the order?

Netflix made quite a number of bad investment during the pandemic. They increased their prices to recover what they lost and to appease their shareholders.

Netflix may have a downturn on the business but they have recovered with strong evidence its subscribers base increase.

So, what assthrow subscribers base now?

Netflix is thrive and increasing its subscription fees with more exciting contents.
Assthrow is sunset mode with losing more subscribers every year.

Netflix's subscriber base has grown consistently since its inception, but there have been some fluctuations:
In 2022, Netflix lost about 1 million subscribers in the second quarter.
In 2022, Netflix's subscriber base in the U.S. and Canada declined for the first nine months.
In 2024, Netflix's subscriber base grew by 22.4 million in the first nine months, which is the strongest year since 2020.

UPDATE 27.11.2024

My friend received a PnP Ultrabox via Pos today. I helped them set up with Satellite and it never worked. After a long chat with agent through live chat again, they keep insisting us to use internet. My friend clearly stated that HE WANTS A SATELLITE ULTRABOX NOT PNP. No calls no emails and he received the box. When chat the agent simply want us to use pnp. I insist them to open satellite for my friend and made a report. In the meantime they asked to run PnP mode but I kept reminding them I'll return tomorrow to check on the status and will immediately change to Satellite mode.

Disappointed to see a simple thing being complicated. What's with Astro forcing users to opt for IPTV mode when your satellite is doing just fine? He told the agent last week that he's already on a satellite connection hence he'd take Ultra ONLY IF IT RUNS SATELLITE and the AGENT AGREED. Now this.

If I were your friend, I have already talked to the manager or VP level for escalation.

Its extremely disappointing because I was helping them to upgrade the box. Look at how each agent is treating this case. I can clearly see that the agent simply wants to end the chat by asking us to activate the box and then close the case. I asked them to make a report and give me a report ID for me to check tomorrow.

Also why would they want us to use Internet when we confirmed for Satellite ULTRA. It's already there and doesn't require any installation or patchworks. Initially when I helped my friend through call his signal reading was EXCELLENT.

I'll definitely look into this issue personally as I will not tolerate such misinformation.

Please don't activate the new stupid box and return it as cancelled order.
Assthrow never fail to piss off another loyal customer again.

You cannot add any multiroom with your legacy pack.
Assthrow wants you to change to new pack with 24 months contract before you are eligible for multiroom.
