Even now got more streaming services including amazon and a few indian ones as well. But can I cancel when I dont like? Biasa astro when want to cancel anything they will charge you or make it damn hard to do so. I usually switch streaming services every few months, so I just cancel and switch. I dont think it would be that easy with astro.

Ya la. Last time kena con by astro and asked to take up this service. My father is the one that took it. Till now is stuck with that. Want to change to my name for tax purpose pun tak boleh. Mau tukar to others (unifi or digi), the technician itself say might not have enough port. So I end up just continue to pay lo.

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

only reason is it is the only not-so-bad satellite tv service. good for jungle people.

Anak derhaka. Bila you kecik, bapa awak belikan untuk awak, so now its your turn.

The problem is they mostly see youtube on the tv and they know how to use streaming service. Tapi when ask to potong will start with all the sandiwara.

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.

I get it. lots of stuff a geo locked. Every now and then I get a relative calling me asking why some movies which came in the news that it has been released on OTT/Disney tak ada. I have to explain all the time.

The problem is now astro keep cutting stuff and repeating. At least last time ok still, got some shows that can watch, even the older channels like Hits or some AXN stuff also ok la. But now, its just repeating the same stuff. They have 3 version of FBI and keep on repeating blue blood dont know how many times already.

Probably the warner TV and stuff related to Max streaming service now.

Eh, apa ini? boleh dapat astro ke?

Actually its just two or three channel that people at home watch. So if I can just get those and show that its easy enough to use, then maybe boleh convince to potong.

Hmm, maybe I should revisit KODI and see. Dont know much about it.

Actually not just astro, cable tv business died all over the world. The market move to Netflix like platform with their own original series to maintain customer

Astro however good at making local movies with it's astro shaw. Last time they released tv series High Council also it was a hit but the caveat is that tv series only viral after it released on Netflix

I suppose u don't watch sports coz if u do, u know that astro is so far the best for it. But that's it.

Also I think they have a lot of local in house Malay content, so Malays still watch it.

Old ppl dont like these stuff. Else, Astro already no subscriptions.

Astro survive because of HD football n old gen prefer the old ways of watching tv. They dont like extra steps.
