I think Sun Life Tv Shows will be censored since some of the shows like Soppanasundari (a Beauty talent show) was too bold to watch for Malaysian Indians.

The attempt was failed and they revert back to old classical channel .

Is Astro got any plans to launch Vijay Takkar channel? Vijay Takkar is a Youth oriented Tamil Channel.

FREE-TO-AIR

8TV
Arirang
Berita RTM
CNA
DW
Euronews
France 24
Hijrah TV
MNCTV
NHK World Premium
SUKE TV
TRT World
TV3
TV5MONDE

PREPAID CHANNELS

Outdoor Channel
RCTI

ZooMoo

MNC's flagship FTA channels: RCTI, MNCTV, and GTV, will broadcast for the first time here. Meanwhile, most of these channels (especially prepaid ones), I suspect, will be in Indonesian feed with Indonesian dubbing/subtitles. I might subscribe to it soon, just for observation purposes. Also not to be confused between Hijrah TV (which is available free-to-air) and TV AlHijrah (which isn't).

Last but not least, welcome back Arirang, Motorvision, Outdoor Channel, and ZooMoo to Malaysia.

Indians are complaining Astro got fewer local Deepavali shows (in Astro Channels, not those from India ones) than previous years.

Also they complained no hype around Deepavali.

Noticed Sun TV Network channels (211,212,213,214) Logos changed to upwards. Previously was downwards.

Like other Astro Channels.

Is this Malaysia (Astro) specific?

Example:

It’s because they’ve been approved by Malaysia’s Film Censorship Board (LPF) for broadcast. Therefore, this applies to all local ads (excluding TV channel promos).

Why it’s required?

Legal compliance:
Under the Film Censorship Act, all ads are treated like “films” and must be submitted to the Lembaga Penapis Filem (LPF) for approval.

Unique ID = proof of approval:
Once cleared, LPF issues a certificate with a unique code. That code must appear on the ad itself as visible evidence it has been vetted.

Accountability:
If there’s ever a complaint about an ad, the ID lets regulators trace it back to the exact version and approval record.

Content control:
It ensures ads don’t slip through with sensitive, misleading, or unapproved material.
*
Back then I saw them with faded Advert IDs like normal Malaysian ads.

Yes.
The only Indian channels in Astro that is not in HD are Adithya and Sun Life.
Just because you don't see "HD" indicator on the channel logo, it doesn't mean it is not in HD. You should observe the picture quality on your own eyes, not by looking at the channel logo whether got "HD" or not.

The difference you see between India's or Singapore's versions, is because it is a different feed with different programming and ads.
What kind of softcore stuff? Give some examples.
Are you an Astro subscriber?

Watched at relative house.

Utter double meanings and some contestants indicate having sex in rooms. Also contestants sexually caressing each other.
