Since the 15th November, Astro, as they advertised 'moved their channels into better neighborhood'. Ya, definitely high class neighborhood. Must be staying in mansions like Zakaria Derus's or something similar. And the company's motto is 'making my life richer'!!. My foot.
Now, I am paying almost RM108 every month to Astro. That is for taking the Movie package, Dynasty, Learning, Cartoons and Sports. After the 15th, when auntie no longer has access to the Hokkien period dramas at channel 333, and most importantly her access to Bloomsberg TV for her daily share price feed, we decided to change our subscription package.
Called up the hot-line, and change my subscription to only Dynasty, News, Sports and Gold..... the price 107.90, a bloody saving of RM0.10 AND I still need to pay a RM10.00 package downgrade fee. But worst still, I am getting less channel than I used to get.
What really makes me tulan is why I am paying for what I will never see. The basic family package cost a compulsory RM37.95, and out of 26 channels there, I have only frequently see 8 of them. I have never even spend more than 5 seconds on most of the other channels from this package.
For the sports package, I really don't need channel 814 and 815 ( Eurosport and Golf Channel).
The main reason why I installed Astro in the first place is the reception of all free TV channels has deteriorate to the point that we cant get any reception at all. Mmm, come to think of it, the reception becomes bad only after Astro came about, wonder any conspiracy theory there?
Last time already tulan, last time already pays to watch repeats, Not only movies but Astro's own advertisement. Those were repeated so frequently that the I can still hear the jingles. Then there's the disruptions caused by rain or thick clouds.
Now lagi tulan. Stupid Astro, stupid monopoly, and stupid me for not willing to buy pirated DVDs.
TULAN betul..............
