The programmes on Astro of late sucks badly these days. To begin with, it is pretty unfair that certain customers have been given the privilege to watch Astro Box office movies for free while certain unlucky customers, like me, did not get that opportunity at all.

Of late, movies shown on the ‘B4U’ channel seem to be repeated on Zee TV (CH 108). So what is the big idea of paying extra for ‘Mustika’ when most of its movies are repeated by ‘108'. The Hindi movie fans like me mainly subscribe to ‘Mustika’ just for the ‘B4U’ channel.

It is a total waste of our extra RM12.95 to watching repeat films. ‘CH131' movies are full of foreign films which you get to watch on other channels at times as well.

I had wanted to unsubscribe to the ‘Mustika’ package but was told by Astro’s Customer Care personnel that I will have to wait for another year to do so. Dreadful! Astro's cheap way of money-making is terribly disgusting these days.

Movies such as ‘Race’, ‘Om Shanti’, ‘Life in a Metro’, ‘Speed’, ‘Dhadkan’, ‘Jab we Met’ got repeated on both ‘CH108' as well as on’ B4U’. This is sickening to note and a total waste of money.

As if there are not enough of boring movies on ‘B4U’, in between we get to watch repeat song clips as well. Why can’t Astro screen the latest Bollywood award shows? The fashion shows? The ‘Ms Femina India’ pageants? Video magazines such as ‘B for You’ which was screened previously on ‘CH108'? What happened to all these great entertaining programmes?

Actually, ‘Zee Channel’ here in our country should change its name to serial tv. Aren't we subscribers paying enough to enjoy such decent shows??

In fact, for almost a year, we have not been watching the latest season of America's ‘Next Top Supermodel’, Britain's ‘Next Top Supermodel’ and Canada's ‘Next Top Supermodel’. I was so excited to watch ‘Stylista’ but that was another repeated reality show. How insulting.

‘CH713' and ‘714' show video clips of songs all day long. We also get to watch songs on ‘CH705 as well. At times on ‘CH712' too!

Last night, I tuned in to ‘CH702' at 9.05 pm to catch the latest of ‘Biggest Loser’ Asia programme. Gosh, it was another repeat programme. The previous week, too, I got to watch the same old repeats and again last night.

Astro are making us pay for repeats and garbage-like programmes, it seems. Astro, don’t you think you have swallowed enough of cash from your millions of subscribers shouldn’t you start giving us a better deal in the coming year. You people only know how to increase your prices but fail to deliver.
