Astro...kick it.

I really which i had a choice, or some avenues available for me to watch the free for all TV channels instead of subcribing to the paid TV ASTRO. You see,dont know why the reception of signal in my residential area for free TV channels is so bad that i can hardly have clear image appear in in the TV, so no choice they told me i had to subcribe to ASTRO.......

Just this month,my wife told me that the Astro's fee had gone up, i said what it has gone up agian, that intensifies my desire to really have it terminated the soonest i can, there are few reasons i dont like about ASTRO (purely my opinion).

For one, the chances of you seeing the repeats are higher that you thought, one of my favourite chanells is Travel and Living and lately i got so sick of it for another 2 reasons, repeat lah and it has more of food programmess rather than travel, you see the amount of food related shows in T&L.
Secondly, commercial breaks are rather frequent, no difference at all from the free to watch TV channels, i have to pay to watch commercial screning?

Lastly, i think the money i would save from the subcription of RM 60 + a month, RM700 + a year,could give me other satisfaction than ASTRO's frustration.
Q) are you happy with ASTRO ?

P/S : It is free market, but i have only one choice

  3. I agree there are far too many commercials for a paid station. I signed up for all packages but luckily a few channels are still commercial-free or less commercials.

    The pain comes when it rains.

  15. yes, travel and living are full of repeats . if not enough, they schedule in food programmes. and channel 703 is already a food channel. I can just get fat watching so many food programmes ! Lousy astro but then again, we have no choice !

  16. Oh Astro bill increased again? I wanted to stop long time ago. Not watching tv actually. Now the tv is more for Lynn to watch Disney Playhouse during weekend. But if the price increased, I think I will just stop it and get the normal antennal fixed for the free tv channel.
