At least that's a decent chinese movies channel.

No decent replacement for english movies at all.

Not sure what the heck they're doing.. duplicating channels just to fill up the channel gap.

Is Singtel even trying to retain their customers of SingTel TV? All the crap content on HITS Movies and its not even in Dolby Digital 5.1 with so much advertisements in between.

At this rate, i feel FTA has better content that SingtelTV.

Some channel on perpetual recycling.

Formula One: Singtel secures broadcast rights for F1 following closure of Fox Sports channels​

SINGAPORE - Formula One fans in the Republic can breathe a sigh of relief after Singtel announced on Saturday (Oct 2) that it has secured the broadcast rights for the sport here.

This follows the shutting down of Fox Sports channels in South-east Asia the day before, a move which had left many sports fans frustrated, particularly those who are F1, tennis and golf enthusiasts.

Those who subscribe to Singtel's World Sports pack, Variety packs, and all Value and Ultimate packs can continue watching F1 on mio Sports 2 (Ch 112) at no additional cost for the rest of the season as well as the 2022 term.

All Singtel TV customers will also get a free preview of the Oct 8-10 Turkish Grand Prix.

Those who are not currently subscribed to Singtel TV packs can sign up for its streaming service Cast Sports Plus as a standalone, which costs $49.90 a month. Or they can sign up for the telco's Starter pack ($23.90) and World Sports pack (add on $14.90 a month).

The news will be welcomed by F1 fans, who, until Singtel's announcement, had been left without an option to watch live races. While one could catch F1 TV here, live race action was streamed only via F1 TV Pro, which is unavailable in Singapore.

The 2021 F1 season has been the most exciting in years, unlike previous terms, when Mercedes Lewis Hamilton cantered to the drivers' championship. With Red Bull's Max Verstappen taking the fight to the seven-time world champion, the season has witnessed several dramatic twists and turns, and the pair have taken turns to lead the title race. With just seven races left, Britain's Hamilton (246.5 points) leads his Dutch rival by just two points.

Anna Yip, Singtel's Consumer Singapore chief executive, said: "We know sports fans do not want to miss a single Formula 1 race, especially since the 2021 season is shaping out to be the most exciting to date.

"Therefore, we have been working hard over the past months to bring Formula 1 to Singtel TV so that our customers can continue to catch comprehensive live coverage of the exhilarating, action-packed races.

"We are committed to providing customers with a wide range of sports content and continue to work closely with our partners to refresh our line-up.

"Sports fans can look forward to more top-tier sporting events in the weeks to come."

Last week, Singtel inked a deal with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which was previously also available only on Fox Sports, to air its UFC Fight Nights from Sunday on mio Sports 2 (Ch 112).

The telco has also added new channels, including Astro Cricket (Ch 123) and Eurosport (Ch 116), which will feature content like international cricket events, cycling and winter sports events.

The Hit Movies are really pathetic and there are adverts in between the movies.
3 good Fox Movie Channel replaced by this lousy HIT Movies channels. Playing old movies unlike previous Fox ch 414 or 408.
Btw, is Singtel actually listening or read this forum?
Is so, is like 'ownself talk ownself shong'

I saw the EPG when they announced... already know its time to cancel.

 

[Shion]

Is it just me or has Celestial Movies 585 been downgraded to playing really olddddddd Chinese movies?

Yes, some of the movies transferred over to CM+

 

[Shion]

For Chinese, maybe should bring in 纬来 and 东森 channels from Taiwan

I agree with you Hit Movie no fight with the 3 Fox Movie channel they need to replace with a better English movie channel but still got which English movie channel they can bring in.

 

[firesong]

Anyone knows if we can get Singtel to cancel the contracts, since the main offerings why I signed up for my dad are gone? It's been a difficult weekend with him complaining that all his shows are no more. The many Fox channels, Nat Geo Wild, and a few others

Can we collectively complain to IMDA? This is not right.

 

[Wormie]

they already write big big at the bottom of their channel update that it carries a penalty if you cancel before contract ends. So much for the spirit of fair use espouse by them

 

[newcell]

And don't think they allow channel swapping.

 

[eD|t|0n]

The are the biggest F around, they set the rules of the game….fair or not…everyone knows…

Singtel to launch two dedicated sports channels​

All Singtel TV customers will enjoy free previews of both channels from Oct 11 to Nov 8.ST PHOTO: LIM YAOHUI

SINGAPORE - Local tennis fans can continue catching Grand Slam action live after Singtel announced the launch of two dedicated sports channels featuring Wimbledon and the US Open, among other offerings, on Friday (Oct 8).

This follows the shutting down of Fox Sports channels in South-east Asia and Hong Kong on Oct 1, a move which had left many sports fans frustrated, particularly those who are F1, tennis and golf enthusiasts.

The channels, SPOTV (Ch 114) and SPOTV 2 (Ch 115), will be launched on Oct 11 and fans can catch live action from sporting events such as those two Grand Slams, MotoGP, golf's British Open and World Table Tennis tournaments.

All Singtel TV customers will enjoy free previews of both channels from Oct 11 to Nov 8.

Existing customers subscribed to the World Sports pack and all Variety, Value and Ultimate packs, as well as Singtel CAST customers who are subscribed to the Sports Plus pack, will be able to enjoy these two channels at no additional charges.

StarHub subscriber Jerome Low, 30, said he would consider switching to Singtel as he and his family enjoy watching live sports, particularly football and tennis.

He noted that while the practice of streaming sports action is more common now and one can always subscribe to Tennis TV for live ATP action, he noted: "It's good (that Singtel is still providing this avenue) because it maintains sports exposure to Singapore and it gives people an avenue to watch it rather than going through illegal means.

"For the non tech-savvy people like older folks who have been following (action on TV) for very long, they might not know they can subscribe to official streaming services so it's good they found alternatives to continue showing all these sports."

Singtel had also earlier secured the broadcast rights for Formula One, with all Singtel TV customers getting a free preview of this weekend's Turkish Grand Prix.

Those who subscribe to Singtel’s World Sports pack, Variety packs and all Value and Ultimate packs can continue watching F1 on mio Sports 2 (Ch112) at no additional cost for the rest of the season as well as the 2022 term.

To watch Singtel’s two new channels and F1, those who are not subscribed to Singtel TV packs can sign up for its streaming service Cast Sports Plus as a standalone, which costs $49.90 a month. Or they can sign up for the telco’s Starter or Family pack (from $21.90 a month) and World Sports pack (add on $14.90 a month).

They can also sign up for the Value or Ultimate packs (from $69.90 a month). For more information, visit singtel.com/tvpacks.

Meanwhile, StarHub subscribers to its Sports+ and Sports Pass can catch this weekend’s Turkish Grand Prix on Hub Sports and Hub Sports 2 channels (Ch 201 and 202).

The telco said that it is “finalising the deal for the remaining races this season, and will update when there are developments”.

StarHub’s other sports offerings include the Bundesliga, La Liga, French Ligue 1, National Basketball Association and World Wrestling Entertainment.

Boring!!!!!!

 

[xiaofan]

Just recontract in the SingTel Jurong Point shop TV counter, with the same Family Favorite pack at 50% OFF, free basic box rental and 12 month contract period.

Initially I wanted to cancel already because of underuse, but recently my daughter gets interested in the cartoon channels again. So okay loh as it is not that expensive anyway.

I have been using SingTel TV since Feb 2012 (SingTel Entertainment+ bundle). Then I debundled the Fibre Internet and SingTel TV back in Sept 2018 and changed to this cheaper Family Favorite pack.

That is my experience with Singtel TV. I have to go to the Singtel Shop Singtel TV counter to get offers. Online or telephone or roadshow do not have good offer.

BTW, do not ask for the TV offer info from the front door staff, they usually do not know anything about TV offers.
