Hi... Since I see this is your very first few posts here on Lowyat forum, welcome to the discussion  biggrin.gif

Besides Zee Tamil channel on Astro is the APAC (Asia Pacific) feed, how about other Indian channels on Astro?
Is it all Indian channels are APAC feed? Or some is dedicated Malaysia feed? If you got info, do list it out eh  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

So far it is confirmed that Makkal TV is definitely India feed (cuz I can see, the clock/time shown on the corner of the channel is India time).
*
Zeetamil HD & ColorsTamil HD are Singapore Feed
Makkal TV & Sunmusic and Aditya TV India feed
Starvijay, SUNTV astro own customized feed
Chutti tv is free Channel given by Sun network ( All the cartoons are repeated mode)

Previously JAYATV,RAJTV and Kalaingar TV also dedicated feed to astro

Ohhh... Thanks for sharing with us here...
And yea, there's a saying that Chutti TV has been repeating same cartoon episodes for the past 10+ years. 🤣😂😂

Colors Hindi and Colors Tamil is Malaysia feed (Astro feed) too?

Wait, how did you know those info? You got "access" to some insider info?  sweat.gif
I got to know that Astro actually receives ALL Tamil and Hindi language channels from India via Fibre network instead of C band satellite (video neighbourhood).
Is it true? The channels delivery method?
*
ColorsTamil is Singapore feed too
You can see Singapore ads in between
Colors Hindi astro own feed and unifi has APAC feed

I am not sure about how they rcvd Channels

What I'm trying to say..
Example like movies..

Saw both countries show same movie same time... On SunTV..
In Malaysia, Astro slip in Malaysia ads. Singapore side theirs..

Something like that 😁

Later I check back to double confirm..
Compared both countries TV Guide...
*
The timing is almost same
But SUNTV giving 2 seperate feed to Malaysia & Singapore
If you check Singapore schedule,they have 3 News Slots per day .
Same like Starvijay also
Here is Astro customized feed but Singapore using International feed!

Ooh..
Like that..
Different feed but show same..
Hmm.. seems like waste resources only....

Should just have 1 feed. Both countries shared... Like Colours Tamil. Singapore and Malaysia shared same feed 😁
Then between break, can slip respective countries local ads 👍
*
It's because astro started the SUNTV local feed earlier than Singapore
SINGAPORE used to have India feed long time back.
If you check Kalaingar TV EPG also different than Malaysia feed!

Ok first of all, the programme air times shown on Sun TV channel on Astro platform, is it Malaysia time (GMT+8) or India time (GMT+5:30)?

For example, if Sun TV channel's advertisement on Astro stated this particular programme will shown on Monday to Friday at 9.00pm
Does that means,
A) Malaysian viewers will see that particular programme is shown as the stated time (Monday to Friday at 9.00pm)?
B) Malaysian viewers have to ownself add 2 hours 30 minutes from the stated time to follow India's time, hence that particular programme will air on Monday to Friday 11.30pm?

So basically, what you meant earlier on how Sun TV channel appear on Astro is:
Sometimes it seems to follow Sun TV India feed's schedule, but sometimes it is different than Sun TV channel in Singapore? Is that true?

What are the differences you see, by comparing Sun TV India, Sun TV Singapore and Sun TV Malaysia in terms of their programming?
I mean, is it like, premiere episodes of Tamil TV serials would be aired on next day, or longer? Or, either one of Sun TV channel tend to air more latest movies, or tend to repeat old shows? Or how?
Focus on the programming first, advertisements later.  hmm.gif
*
SUNTV programmes are fully dedicated to Malaysian timing.All the promos are showing in Malaysian timing
Most of the programmes are shown here after 24 hours India telecast.this is because suntv never allow to Telecast here 2.5 hrs earlier due to TRP!

Some weekend movies Telecasted 2.5 hr earlier in Malaysia and even festival time all programmes shown earlier in Malaysia

Pls check the schedule at Singtel then you know the difference in program timing.
Example SUNTV news shown at 10pm here but in Singapore showing at 9.30pm


Astro has its own feed and they not sharing with Singapore feed because they can customise suntv as per their wish.
Example if same movie Telecast on SUNTV and also astro vellithirai/Vinmeen HD
SO THEY can schedule the movie on different dates.

Indian customers started complaining about removal of latest 3 channels
First of all these Channels are removed because low rating and astro don't have revenue at all I think

Even in India no one watching these Channels
I posted the recent TRP Rating in India

Looking at the rating it shows that's how the Channels are outdated and airing the same movies again n again

Even myself I don't watch these Channels more than 5 minutes because the PQ & AQ is so poor
Even new movies look like old movies there

It's better they have removed but same time they should add another 2 more Channels like KTVHD or Vijay Super so customers feel fair to subscribe to the package!

First of all ZeeThirai another recycle bin from Zee Network
They only have 200+ movies in their library
I watched the Channel on Zee5 they always showing the same movies again n again

Sometimes same movie will be Telecasted on both Zeetamil n ZeeThirai
Definitely not a good choice by StarHub in Singapore

Repeats are killing and it's not a HD channel!
Vellithirai is much better in term of movie collection

KTVHD is a good choice for Tamil movies

ColorsTamil HD already losing the viewership
It's become full time serials Channel
They not showing any movies at all on APAC FEED
But india they airing some Hollywood movies in Tamil but I think they can't Telecast here due to copyright from Sony or Fox!

Unify has the same APAC feed I think it's 5 minutes delay and astro is 1 hr delay

Looking at the content the Channel is another Raj or JAYATV!
COLORS HINDI is better content!

We are sorry as there will be no changes to your monthly bill. Astro always reviews its offering to ensure customers can enjoy the best quality content and channels. Our research indicated that Jaya, Raj and Kalaignar collectively accounted for less than 10% of the total viewership of our Indian channels. As such, we decided to replace them with Zee Tamil HD, which is one of the India’s top and most popular TV channels. This move is also in line with our upgrade of the Chakravarthy Pack to being a full HD offering. ^ibah

Thor Tamil dubbed now on Makkal TV
It's a live Channel from India
So they can't control anything

Even vijaytv or ColorsTamil can't Telecast here

Politics TV channel?
Wow.. very advance compared with Malaysia 😁
Heard Sun,  Jaya & Kalainar also own by politician...

Maybe they find niche market?
Most channels show serial & drama.. they use different strategy? 😂
*
Sun TV started using their political power from DMK
But now they not related to any political parties...but anyway they still favour to DMK because the owner is Karunanidhi (ex CM OF TAMIL NADU) GRAND SON
Also Kalaingar TV Under Karunanidhi

So you know la...
But SUNTV it's the No1 Channel in Tamil Nadu also in India

Makkal TV is complete political Channel from PMK
I think it's given free by them to astro that's why astro still running even low rating!

Another Interesting Comments / Complaints

Previously chakravarthy pack only have 4 Channels
ColorsTamil was added as 5th channel but astro never increase the price also
That time no one complain about this

Now chakravarthy pack consist 3 channel so astro should extra one Channel as replacement!
And it's all HD channels definitely the price is worth for Subscribing

Zeetamil has the lowest movie library among other Channels.They keep repeating same movie every month
Since the Channel just launched this month, Malaysians didn't know the real truth of the Channel!

Lockdown has been extended in India till end of the month,so no new content on any Indian Channels
