Thank you for your support...

By June 2021 should have 30 channels..

Let me tell you about channel cost and its management of the bandwidth : Each SD channel is about 1.5 -2.0 Mbps and HD channel is about 4.0-6.0 Mbps . The SES-12 Satellite carries a 54 Mhz capacity per transponder which is equivalent to 71.2 Mbps. For Sirius TV to start test broadcast at 11-15 channel on HD , will require around 60 Mbps - 90 Mbps...which is more than 1 transponder. Therefore we need to throttle down the bandwidth utilization to remain at 1 transponder and maintain the signal quality by having a mix with SD and HD channel. Adding more channel will not help. The cost of satellite transponder is not cheap and runs in the millions and thus the reason not many company willing to consider this satellite platform. Therefore ..those unnecessary channel or if there is any mediocre channel , will need to be remove or not included at all. It will be a waste of capacity and costly as well.

We got friendly call from MCMC not to install our Trial set unless we apply and pay the Apparatus Assignment Fees for each set we installed. Our application for exemption through the Class Assignment has yet to receive any result. We are in a Catch-22 situation... authority tell us to toe the line and they are just following the CMA Act 1998 procedures....and the customer is cursing why we are slow in our marketing and installation....

Josh and LowYat Forumers....if given the chance to work together with MyTV and the Media Prima Group , how do you think Sirius TV with its Satellite Pay TV Station should work on. ?

My question on Media Prima and MyTV ARE NOT related to the Apparatus Assignment issue. BTW we heard the good news that MCMC has approved our application for the Class Assignment yesterday and waiting to gazette the Approval after the Hari Raya... 😀

If you guys have any great ideas outside the box ...do let me know....just trying to pick your brain...

By end of June we should have around 30 channels. We are suppose to officially launch the service by mid May. With the MCO 3.0 we think mid June would be a suitable date. Will start the ABV encryption in July...God willing.

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.
