Astro was already lacking content, now its trimming down even more.

Only reason we still have it is because orang tua kat rumah masih mau tengok, but honestly, I dont know what got already.

Warner TV, Food network, Animal Planet all sudah hilang. I mean it was barely anything, but at least was something la. The astro Movie channel keep putting on damn old movies. The tamil stuff all benda ambik dari youtube and put on as special show. Plus, last time at least can watch older episode on Astro go, now its only limited to the last two episodes.

Then keep on repeating old stuff again and again. Some shows were good la, but keep repeating it again for what?

Honestly, dunno why paying so much for. Potong content but still cahrging more and more. Its just becoming more of a hub for your streaming service where they are more of promoting the convience of subscribing to many services with one bill.

Sudah minta family potong sahaja tapi masih mau, but only see the drama which is also on disney plus. Burden by other peoples decision.

astro's value proposition has been spiralling downwards for decades, so many ppl stop using it. in return, to cut cost, they had to cut expenses, lower down their value even further

it's a vicious cycle

It depends on what you want to watch. Most new gen just like to watch movie and Astro do not own the right to the movie, thus those on HBO, Cinemax cannot be recorded. For Asia region, usually the HBO Cinemax normally stream older movie compare to other region. This is beyond Astro control. Even if you subscribe to Netflix, the Asia region will get different movie compares to other region. If you want the video like from US region, then you need to VPN. You will see different choices of movie. This is why Astro like Astro Go only have old movie or B Grade ones that they can store in their library. Other than that I probably go for news.

The trend nowadays that those network like HBO, Cinemax and Netflix sign contract with production houses, thus you can only find certain series on specific network only. This forcrs people to sign with HBO, Netflix and Cinemax, not just one. Even Korean drama also can only be found on one network only laugh.gif This is why more and more local contents in Astro. Production houses has to compete with better contents to get slots on Astro for their drama or series. Those who are not watching local contents will find this is annoying.
