Well as to that, I think you need to take in consideration the population of the particular country. India for example, has a huge population that is many the times of Singapore. I am not sure how the cost of leasing those cable station works but for example. If India cable provide lease a particular chan for say $50k and it has 1 million subscriber. And likewise, SCV has to pay $50k for the chan and it only has 100 000 subscribers. So of course the Indica cable provider can afford to charge their subscribers cheaper.

Also, the India cable subscriber can afford to sell their advertisement slots for much more than SCV will be able to as it is targeting more audience. Hence, maybe the revenue they gain from those advertisements is more than enough for them to telecast the sports chans for free.

Again, all this is speculation but it makes sense to me :p

Im really amazed by some people here who can stand all the family dramas that's been goin on for years & years.

They just need to change some actors (But sometimes they dont even bother to change), change a theme song & the title of the show, edit a little bit of the plot lines & some people will go all excited over it. "NEW SHOW NEW SHOW!!" -_-''

At the end, you all will say, hey i've seen this show somewhere & then realise it's almost the same as the previous clone family dramas Laughing [/b]

as one of the person above has said, india cable vision to its people may indeed be cheaper than singapore..

however, have people look at the reasons why it is cheaper?
perhaps the reason do not exist in singapore?
singapore may not be good in some areas, but it is also good in other areas, how do you then decide whether singapore is good or bad.

do you expect a country to excel in all areas?

many people in life or internet complain from a narrow point of view. they do not analyse the situation deep enough and think shallow.

if people want to offer argument, first must analyse the problem first well. sometimes there is no problem in the first place but people choose to see it as a problem, then they start arguing and finding reasons to support their argument.

i confess i do not have profund knowledge myself of how the cable industry works, it fairness and all these. but i know that in internet forum, most people just rant off their opinions without evidence and feelings gather in bits and pieces and just keep arguing their point.

there is little accuracy in their belief. internet forums is also famous for fish market argument where people argue many different points and still think that they are on the same topic.

mediacorp and starhub is being discussed and they are separate in some sense. i agree that healthy dicussion is encouraged and that you just have to filter a bit and wait for more reasonable arguments by occasional good forumers...

if i would to think abt the price fairness of SCV right now, i would say that at around 40 bucks(roughly) for basic channels per month.. it is not too expensive.

you all want companies to enter cable provider industry and compete with starhub to pull down the prices and bring quality to customers... ok fine...
how are you going to convince companies that they should come then??

give more concrete analysis to these comapnies. the ranting made down here is not going to encourage companies to want to compete with starhub.

if they are going to compete in the future, it would be because they have find it really worth it and not because of the rantings down here. whether more competition is realy going to come i cannot say.. but i dun think fro singapore, it will necessary have to happen for the case of cable vision...

lets just wait and see..

$110 buck are oso money, if 2 million people pay for it, how much is that? Change them to coin is enough to crash 100000 people. Don't forget they oso charge for voting for idol, project superstar, registration fee for applicant for idol plus their investment in newspaper, starhub and many other investment. u realli think they don't earn so much?

Nowaday, the drama produced are really very bad unlike in the past. Last time, low budget still can produced good drama with good script. Now, family drama with duplicated story, uncreative and boring.

I used to watch local drama but now I don't watch anymore. they used to telecast new movie on every Saturday night, and during public holiday, new show is telecast. now they don't, what I see is repeated show and movie for more than twice. I rather watch DVD. or else they would censor here and there in taiwan varieties from 1.30 hrs to 1 hrs to fix the time slots.

Actually, this is not complaint, it is people who voiced out what they think. No good mean no good, good mean good, it just a simple answer. Keeping silence and having doubts is even more stressful. I remember I email to them suggestions but nothing was change. I think have to wait until next life. Haha

i am not complaining or saying mediacorp sux or anything it's just that i personnalli feel that they should come up with TV programs that more original more local rather then keep showing a 'Singapore' version of a TV program based on those shown in other countries.

importing shows from other countries is good but importing is one thing copying is another. those tv programs on channel u which were imported from korea japan taiwan are nice but what i am saying is mediacorp should not keep creating 'local' tv programs which are like copying the ones shown in other countries. the worse thing is they keep showing them, creating different versions and not just on 1 channel its on channel 5, channel u, Suria.
