My goodness... Just by looking at the photos with lots of boxes stacks up, I thought Sirius TV is freely distributing its set-top-box to whoever wants it, and then customer can self-install them at their homes. 🤣🤣🤣
Sirius TV Btw any progress to update with us regarding the trial programme?

Hah, until now that Apparatus Assignment matter haven't settle yet?

I think it's time to just straight away tell the media press about this, like Malaysiakini or something. Let the mass public and media put pressure on MCMC, and also on the related laws.

Errr... How does that Apparatus Assignment fees issue got to do with MYTV and Media Prima Group?

And why suddenly bring up MYTV and Media Prima? What do you have in mind?

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.

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...

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/

Shhhhhhh 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

12595MHz signal has been off air for days already.
So yeah, no satellite signal from Sirius TV. I wonder what's going on

Hmmm...

That's good to hear

What improvement are you expecting? 🤣

Sirius TV Would you share to us on what are the improvements on the transmission since 15 Aug?

East, and then slightly to the South.

Hmmm, some changes in VPID and APID tracks?
Ok, where are the TVRO broadcast engineers? Time to get back to work

Because targeting those commercial customers like hotels and businesses are easier compared to direct-to-consumers mah....
Plus, they can earn some "quick money" from it too.

Once they have more cash in hand, then they could start to think about acquiring more channels to all

For Sirius TV, apparently yes, it's 60cm.

Why is there a some sort of "external USB channel number display" device (4 digits 7 segment)? Sirius TV seriously include that thing from the box, or you connect it on by yourself?

You have Astro box, right? Try connect that device to the USB port at the Astro box and see anything comes out or not 🤭🤭

Try connect that device to one of the Astro Ultra Box's USB port. I'm curious to see what will appear lol

You want to customise own software that can only receive specific TP frequencies?
Can. Just spend more money to the software developer guys, and they'll tailor-made the STB firmware for you, which I don't think Sirius TV wouldn't want to spend this kind of money lah...

If I'm Sirius TV now, I'd rather use the money to acquire more TV channels instead (without sacrificing video/audio picture quality, of course).

Japan announced a tsunami warning.
For those who interested to see how the emergency announcement looks like, tune to NHK World Japan channel now.

Yeah, I've noticed that long time ago, and yet nobody seems to care about it
It's a short-lived company anyway.
