Paramount Network will cease broadcasting across Asia on 1st April, 2024. It seems like Paramount+ will launch soon across Southeast Asia. 😁

They actually plan to launch it across Asia this year. I think they're doing what Disney was doing back then. You know, ceasing the linear channel and forcing everyone to get the app.

Not sure yet. They refuse to say anything about any possible replacement, though.

DEGUP will start sub-licensing some action/thriller/horror movies from the HBO Asia movie library next month. The first movie will be Unhuman (2022), which will premiere next Sunday at 10 PM.

If MAX replaces HBO GO in the region one day, then Unifi TV will do the same, too.

Btw, Unifi eSports (CH 702) will launch on the platform soon to showcase ACS EDU Tour Season 3. They should carry more live sporting events on Unifi Sports, though.

That's because HyppSports was owned by both Unifi and Sports Illustrated back then. It's Sports Illustrated who provided the coverage of those American sports coverage back then. I have suggested Unifi TV to team up with someone else this time to boost Unifi Sport's sports coverage. It's completely up to them whether they want to take my advice or not. Btw, I'm not an insider or working for them at all.

All 3 Plus Packs (Aneka Plus, Ruby Plus and Varnam Plus) can now access to Animax, DEGUP, Celestial Movies and Colors Cineplex. A new unnamed Unifi TV pack has been bundled with the new Unifi package, which comes with 20+ channels, including 8 premium channels - tvN, tvN Movies, Nickelodeon, HITS Movies, DEGUP, Celestial Movies, Colors Cineplex and Animax.

They recently shared a video on FB mentioning this. Also, Unifi eSports (CH 702) will be launched before the end of this September. That's the only confirmed new channel so far.

MAX has both HBO and Discovery content.

It's been like that for one month already, and they're still working on fixing it.

Sensasi has been airing selected Viu originals for a few months now.

Also, Global Trekker On Demand has replaced Smithsonian Channel On Demand a few days ago. Don't think they have any plan to bring in its linear channel anytime soon. I actually hope that they can bring in Discovery channels since MAX is coming this November. Maybe they will rely on the app instead of the linear channels this time.

Cartoonito (CH 555) will be ceased starting this 1st of January. No news regarding any new channel or streaming app yet.

Well, it's an app, not a linear channel like Astro Ceria.

First of all, CCM doesn't have a HD feed at the moment, and that's why Astro still has it in SD. As for why SETI gets the HD treatment, I think it has to do with viewership. Back in 2018, they downgraded all Chinese channels while upgrading TVB8 to HD, which had been ceased within the same year. At that time, TVB8 was the no. 1 Chinese channel on Unifi TV due to its line-up of programs. For Chinese channels, I only watch Celestial Movies and SETI. I'm not interested in variety shows or news programs from Mainland China at all. I don't consider the drama series showing on CCTV-4 watchable like the ones on streaming apps from Mainland China. Unifi TV should launch a dedicated in-house channel for quality Chinese drama series.

PS: I don't work for Unifi TV, and these are just my opinions.

"We wish to inform you that starting from 1st February 2025, ONE HD channel no. 461 will no longer be available on Unifi TV and the Unifi TV app. As part of our ongoing efforts to refresh and enhance your viewing experience, we are updating our Unifi TV channel lineup.

For the Zee Thirai (CH 302) you need to wait for official announcement for any update." Via Unifi Messenger

Well, ONE will be ceased at 6 AM, so you will probably be able to catch Running Man.

You're right. tvN is the most-watched Korean GE channel on the platform at the moment. I seriously don't understand why ONE has lower viewership than K-Plus.

I hope they'll remove the extra "letterbox" for Zee Thirai, though.

Well, ONE used to be the most expensive Korean GE channel. Not sure whether that's still true these days since they rarely premiere expensive drama series from SBS for quite some time now.

Unifi TV needs more TV channels and secures more sporting events' rights. Can't stand the other TV provider hoarding everything major, like EPL, BWF, NBA, AFC, etc. 😒
