Astro: you pay what you watch
Personally I'm very excited because there will be another two new channels coming up on Astro on June 15. I'm all for The History Channel which will be on channel 54. The other new channel is Crime & Investigation on channel 79.
As a history buff, there's nothing better than a history channel that stand on its own. I always never get enough of history shows on Discovery Channel or National Geographic. I'm looking forward to watching shows about The Universe, about the Roman Empire, The French Revolution (my all time favourite), political and historical figures, great scientists and many more. I just wish there will be more shows about the history of China but it's kind of hard to come by especially in English programmes.
Since there will be more channels coming up, Astro subscribers don't complain too much lar. You should pay for what you watch. It's pay television! If you do not wish to pay so much, then get cheaper package. Don't complain because there are other subscribers who are willing to pay to watch these new channels.

well... to a certain I guess the "complain" is that they can't really pay exactly what they wanna watch... some constraints making them bundling extra or can't get another channel within the channel...
I'm sure if we are allowed to pay as per the exactly channels we like, we'll be all happy, but not astro.
just my 2 cents
-
Freethinker: I don't think that will ever happen, only paying what we want to watch. There's so many channels and it's only logical for them to categorized these channels and put them into different package.
Anyway, I do admit my opinion can be biased because I'm watching it for free :P
-
Both channels are not my fav...not looking forward :(
-
I pay Rm119.00 every month but I dont watch Astro, thats why I am complaining..keke !
I only got time to listen to the radio station 112 and it belts out the same oldies day in and day out..How??
-
Che-Cheh: Yea, not everyone likes history.
Laura: I suggest you cut down on your package subscription fees since you don't really watch it. RM119 is quite a hefty sum.
-
astro is getting more and more channels and frankly speaking... how many of us have the time to watch? not many... pay as you watch is certainly a good move.
-
Zewt: Good input there. I think ppl should start planning their subscription since Astro is going to keep on expanding their channels.

hcfoo,
Thanks for ur suggestions but it comes with the rental of the place. Cant do anything about it.
What is not fair is Astro introduced some new channels and then increased the rate whether u like it or not. We did not ask for those new channels and neither do we have a choice to reject it.
Last time ,I only watched channel 30 and 40,41,42 most of the time.
-
Laura: Maybe you din ask for new channels, but there are a lot of channels which is not available in Malaysia that people are loooking forward to :)
-
hcfoo,
Tks for ur reply. I am not aware of the many channels that are not available in Malaysia.
Anyway dont have the time to watch Astro , too much time consumed in blogging..have become a blogging addict keke!
There are people who installled the illegal China disk and able to see more than 200 channels for free.
The other new pay T.V in Malaysia , forgot the name , no competition to Astro.
When I am free, I also liked to watch about history and CSI.Sometimes the China history is shown in National Geographic.
I watch the movies more often and my place is rigged up with home theatre system with surrounds and sub woofers just like in a cinema..keke!
The cheaper package cannot watch.Even the Cheapest Wah Li Toy cost Rm75.00 pm for that package alone.
Nice talking to u..

Laura: Nice talking to you too. Wah Lai Toi is Astro's core package.
