Likely using the world feed. They have their own pre-race programme with Will Buxton and Sam Collins

better to have them than Paula and Alex Yoong...at least Jazeman is still tolerable

thanks for sharing the new rate card...

i wanna summarize my current pack and see if i match it correctly or not with the new packages if i indeed wanna change it. correct me if i am wrong...


I am currently on Chuen Min/Family Pack + Learning + Sports Pack = RM100

if i wanna change (quite) exactly to the new packages, then i should go for ...
Sports Pack (Primary + Sports + Astro Go) + News & Documentaries Add On = RM89.99 (coz i wanna be loyal Astro customer and go for 24 months) + RM14.99

altogether is RM104.98 (pay extra almost RM5) with no Celestial Movies..

is that so?

and if i am itchy wanna add Asian Faves which is the Chinese , i have to pay another RM14.99....


off topic = wouldn't it really really cheap this time around to get TVB Jade coz only add RM14.99 coz it is in Asian Fave?

You said you are on Chuen Min/Chinese Family + Learning (1 Mini pack) + Sports Pack? Is that it? I mean, you haven't been changing your packages for many many years already, is it?
If I'm right, then the total price would be: RM90.95 + 6% SST = RM96.40, am I correct?


yeah.above package is the one currently I am at.


Based on your current packages, the closest alternative for the new packs would be:
Sports Pack (RM89.99 with 24m contract) + News & Documentaries (RM14.99) = RM104.98 + 6% SST = RM111.28/month
Yeah, don't forget about the 6% SST as well.

With the price tag of RM111.28/month, yet no Celestial Movies for you.
If you want to watch Celestial Movies channel on the new packs, yes, you have to opt for Chinese Favourites add-on, which means add RM14.99 = Total RM127.17/month incl SST with 24m contract.
But on the brighter side, since you added Chinese Favourites, it means you can literally have access to ALL Chinese channels, including TVB Jade, Astro AOD, Astro Shuang Xing, TVB Xing He and more.
If you're okay with that, and also the price tag, then proceed.

arggh damn!! forgot about the SST..hahaha..extra RM11.28 and without Celestial. to me, no Celestial no problem but increase the price is kinda turn off.


about my earlier question, can I surmise that actually it is cheaper now to get Jade TVB when the channel is lumped up with other Chinese channels for just RM14.99??

if only Astro can put more documentary channels.. so far, only NGC and Discovery are better options compared to BBC Earth and History

You still have the option to use satellite when you're first signing up to Astro by telling your Astro installer.

However, an internet connection is highly recommended when browsing & renting On Demand content, Record & Play from Start functionality, and accessing native & third-party streaming apps. It doesn't mean your Ultra/Ulti Box isn't functional at all, it only can press channel numbers like the old HD Zapper box.

tq for the reply
no choice but to use satelite and also prefer to use it coz 1) dun like the internet 2) my area no internet
