My point is, Hasbro, STOP THAT PARTNERSHIP WITH CARTOON NETWORK / BOOMERANG AND LAUNCH HUB IN ASIA, AND LET TM-IPTV(HYPP-TV) HAVE IT! Sure, Cartoon Network may have promised to bring in the show in the future, but it just isn't fair that those who can get Boomerang gets to watch it first! Plus, when it eventually premiers on the main CN channel, it gets put at an unearthly time. You know that Cartoon Network has finally only started airing Season 1 of Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Bitty Adventures while those with Boomerang gets to watch Season 2? And Cartoon Network is airing the show at an unearthly 6:00 AM while Boomerang airs it at a more reasonable 10 AM? If you air MLP:FIM at 6AM, I can't watch it- not a morning person. Plus, I refuse to re-subscribe to ASTRO (which appears to be monopolizing the channel since they're the only one carrying it) because I see their policies as unfair to the customer.
This will go on until someone either gives me Boomerang or The HUB, or the takedowns stop.
This is sick. After much pestering to Boomerang and CN, they have finally agreed to let me have SSC:BBA. But,
they schedule the show to air at 6AM with no repeats. Plus, it'll be one whole season behind Boomerang. If this is not being screwed by the network, I don't know what is.
Updated TVTropes to reflect this (yes, the boycott only applies to some pages, namely the MLP ones including FIM)
As for the Astro being unfair to the customer part: They make you buy your own hard disk (an expensive Western Digital AV USB hard disk, no less. The decoder refuses to recognize anything else, and it has no internal hard disk unless you pay a few hundred bucks to upgrade to a dual tuner one, and many computer shops here are jacking up the prices of hard disks and blaming the Thailand flood for disrupting supply), pay extra monthly for the DVR functionality, and despite the hard disk already being yours and you paying extra for the DVR functionality, the recording is encrypted such that it will only play back on the decoder. You can't take the hard disk to a PC and watch the recording from there. To me, that's not fair, given that I legally own the hard disk that is connected to the decoder, and I will need to pay extra monthly for the ability to record. And oh, as said before, they only care about the soccer fanatics and little old Chinese old ladies with dementia (seriously, these ladies are delirious. They actually threw rotten tomatoes, voiced death threats loudly and cussed at an actress who played a villain in one of the dramas when she visited the country!). Don't keep your hopes up with them when it comes to channels that are not soccer-related or Chinese drama networks. I know, I've waited 3 fricking years for Boomerang and am still waiting.
And don't bring Equestria Daily into the picture. I want the show
legally. Youtube searches are now a chore. Plus, EqD is full of fanfics. As much as I have to brave the site to get my weekly fix now, you guys know I have a strong aversion towards fanfics, particularly those where a main character dies. CASSIE DID NOT DESERVE TO DIE DAMMIT! ALSO, DOWN WITH THE POLICE! DOWN WITH CORRUPT AUTHORITY! THEY HAVE NO FRIGGIN' RIGHTS TO KILL CASSIE!
