For a TV junkie like me with a daytime job who is hard-pressed for time, Astro, with its frequent reruns, erratic transmissions due to Malaysian's tropical weather, mind belittling unnecessarily loud advertisements and mind boggling schedules was a real turn off.
Along came Telekom's next generation high speed broadband Internet connexion. And there is no stopping now...
I just downloaded the whole season of Law and Order SVU Season 8 on line with the help of bit torrent and thumb drive. The thumb drive is inserted into my DVD player and viola, there I have, crystal clear screening with home theatre system with rewind facilities at my disposal at my leisure minus the nonsensical interruptions by meaningless advertisements. And to forgot the less carbon print left on Earth. After viewing the shows, I just delete them and save something else on it.
There goes the livelihood of my friendly neighbourhood illegal DVD pedlar!
So, for next nights, it is going to be bye-bye Astro and I am going to have a time of life viewing the roller-coaster seat grabbing thought provoking plots of SVU with Detectives Stabler, Benson, Munch, Fin and the rest of the gang. Hello NYPD!
Thanks to our technology world.
ReplyDeleteI agree. There is too many reruns and the channels are limited.
