Congrats on Sirius TV reaching 50 posts and probation removed

hopefully...
because many are angry with u guys...
slow progress...

People are angry because there is pent up demand for change from the current incumbent. This is good. If people dont like us they can just ignore us and dont bother whether we are slow or not. To us ... they are waiting for change and we are the agent for changes. We have our plan and our schedule for delivery. We have the fund and the time to ensure good delivery. Our service are free safe for the equipment cost and is already on air. The demand has just need to wait as per our plan.

I would like to highlight this... Even if I don't, sooner or later one of the Sirius TV customer will highlight it anyway

Subtitle language options very limited
Out of the 11 on-going FTA trial channels, none of them offers Malay language subtitle. Only this 4 channels has subtitles.

Filmbox Arthouse = English subtitles.
Outdoor Channel = Chinese subtitles
GEM = English subtitles (Bahasa Indonesia and Chinese subtitles appears to be removed by Sirius TV, not sure why )
TechStorm = Chinese subtitles

Sirius TV might wanna deal with some subtitling partners to make as many channels to have at least Malay subtitles first...?
Subtitles aren't just for those who "doesn't understand" the language. It is also helpful to those who have hearing problems too, hence they would rely on subtitles to understand the content instead.

Produce more better quality local vernacular content?
Sirius TV could partner with Media Prima and collaborate with some local production houses out there, to produce more premium TV series and movies.
Premium TV series, as in, producing 'world-class' content where also targeted for international audiences, rather than just 'exportable' to Indonesia and Singapore.
So that could mean, pump in more money in local production houses, to produce a better story line, better production quality and so on.
If those existing already-popular celebrities seems 'expensive' to invest, maybe try look for new faces, new talents from various backgrounds and race? Yes, we want something new and fresh.
Make it appear "stand out" compared to the ones produced by other TV stations (be it RTM, Media Prima or Astro).
Don't just limit to Malay language content only. Consider produce local Chinese, Tamil or even English language TV series, explore the previously unexplored segment of local shows.
That could also be, collaborating with Disney+ Hotstar too?

To be honest, it does sounds kinda ambitious... If Sirius TV wants to dare to look different and stand out from others, maybe can consider that risky route. But whether is feasible or not, that's another story.

More in-house channels?
For viewers that prefers watching English movies and documentaries, I think the suggestion for Sirius TV to provide premium channels like HBO, Discovery,... will look very expensive.
Consider create an in-house 24-hour English movie channel, features all the popular Hollywood movies. And, no commercial breaks please.....
If all Malay, Chinese and English subtitles is guaranteed available, and also with Dolby 5.1 surround sound, that will be a big plus point.
Same rule may applies to other dedicated channels for English TV series, documentaries, cartoons, and other vernacular content.
For those who crave for sports content, maybe consider bring in RTM Sukan channel instead, or look some other kinds of sports channels out there, like NBA TV, Fight Sports, Edge Sport....

OTT platform?
Solely focus on satellite TV service won't be enough these days... Sooner or later, consumers will want to watch content on their devices, similar like Astro Go and Unifi playTV.
Plus, rain fade will also be one of the popular Sirius TV customer complaints, just like Astro. (Yes I know, it's because of Ku band...)

Put more focus on IP whenever possible. Make your service easily accessible to everyone, and not just only for those who installs Sirius TV (satellite) at home.
Perhaps we can expect an OTT service from Sirius TV? Or even implement newer hybrid broadcast standards like DVB-I?

Pay-per-view content?
Similar like Astro First, Astro Best, Unifi TV's Hypp Flicks+
Local and international movie rental service... Pay RM10-15 and watch up to 48 hours... Yeah, you and I know how it works la.

Android TV-based of Sirius TV box
When Sirius TV will launch Android TV based set-top-box?
And yeah, we would love to see if Sirius TV box can also be used to access streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and others.

It's June already. But with lockdown I guess the launch will be delayed once again?

Broadcasting services is deemed as essential services, so I believe Sirius TV wouldn't be affected?

Anyway, Sirius TV wants to know what are the TV channels you'd look forward into...
What would be the channel or content suggestions you guys have for Sirius TV?
But be practical and realistic la. I mean, don't expect Sirius TV to offer those 'super expensive content' like Premier League, HBO, all those...

There are still a lot of other undiscovered contents out there apart from premium movies and sports.

We wait.

GEM only? No news about AXN, Animax and One on Sirius TV?

Btw, for those who don't know what is KC Global Media, here's a video: https://fb.watch/5ZlJBEfPQU/

The second half of 2021 is approaching and no new update about their launch?

Slowly, but surely.

Sirius' first commercial customer?

yep

Looks like still not-encrypted, post delays.

Shhhhhhh 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

Knock knock it's July and EMCO has been implemented. Does this affect the launch date?

Obviously, though i wonder if they did improve the AV quality silently...

Got from whatsapp group. Is this true? Nothing about this on sirius social media

yeap.
