For your information...there is no subscription...no contract. After the free 12 mth subscription...you pay on a prepaid/top up basis of RM 20 per mth whenever you want to watch. This will be a Pay-per- view concept.

Hmm... What if standardise them to 75cm in both West and East Malaysia?
Or do you mean that even if 75cm dish is used for West Malaysia, there won't be any signal improvements at all, compared to 60/65cm dish?
The LPF requires to delay the feed by few minutes too?

But..... Is this business model sustainable though?
I mean, how'd you guys ensure able to gain profit to offer more channels in the future?

From consumer point of view, the concept of prepaid basis, start and stop anytime, and no contract, is indeed a plus point.

But how about practicing the similar method as those OTT subscription?
Example let's say Sirius TV from 13th month onwards, if customer is interested, an auto reoccurring option is offered, where RM20/month would deduct automatically through debit/credit card monthly on time.
That way, viewers no need to headache about "forgot to pay", and ensure uninterrupted viewing, and only initiate to cancel the service as per request (whenever you want), similar like Netflix.

Unless if customer prefers other manual payment methods, then can go ahead with topup basis through cash or PIN voucher (e.g. Buy at convenient store or online).

This is the umpteenth time that question has been asked on the sustainability of the existing business model which we are not going to share. We have our TopUp/prepaid of RM 20 per mth or RM 200 per year after the12 mths FREE subscription. We are now trying out the broadcast this week.

Okay sorry...
Anyhow, I'll look forward for your good news.

only 8 channel?

They have started calling customers who hv registered and hv advised to wait for installer to call and that a fee of RM90 wld bi imposedi

We will start with about 15 channels (1st Phase) on 15th March, 8 channels (2nd Phase) on 15th April and 8 channels (3rd Phase) on 15th May. Taking into consideration that the incumbent started with 5 channels when they first started.

We will update the channel listing from this week onward. Do check out our website once in a while.
www.siriusmalaysia.tv thanks.

The Outdoor Channel,may I know it's consists of what actually?
Something like Travel & Living style of program?

https://www.outdoorchannel.com/showlisting/77192 its basically abt outdoor hobbies and interest

Yeah. The content of the channel is target towards niche viewers. So not everyone would be interested to that channel, unless you're an outdoor, adventurous type of person...

But in terms of offering "never seen before TV channels", then Outdoor Channel is also a good option...

My memory if not wrong tells me it was once on hyppotv

Yes you are right.

Years later, Hypp TV (now Unifi TV) ceases that channel, probably due to low viewership.

I think I've seen Bigwater Adventures on Nat Geo/Discovery channel Astro. Not exactly my type of thing I was expecting about travelling forgot the word outdoor there lol. Thanks anyway.
