One of my favorite pastime is watching television so come weekend, you’ll definitely find me glued to the TV to catch up on shows and movies. Just recently I was invited to attend a launch for Astro’s new HD channels via campaign “Your New HD Universe” at SOJU Sunway. I’m actually super excited when I got to know that Astro is launching new HD channels coz it simply means there are more choices and I get to watch more shows 🙂

FOX Action Movies HD (CH 430)
If you know me, it’s no secret that I’m a fan of action movies but occasionally I still go for romance and comedy too. When I know of this new Fox Action Movie HD channel, I’m super excited and am really looking forward to watch Doom – a video game-inspired movie that is full of action and excitement of watching the good guys versus the bad guys (though the good guys always win most of the time)
FOX Family Movies HD (CH 434)
Fox Family Movies HD is an all-movie channel designed for the entire family to sit down and enjoy a movie together. With Christmas about a month away, Saving Santa seems to be the perfect movie to watch together with my family to celebrate the festive season 🙂
FYI HD (CH 736)
According to the info, FYI HD is a lifestyle channel geared to an upscale, younger audience that is active online but would still tune in to a new TV network…and that pretty much sounds like me?! Haha Anyway, this channel features interesting programme like Epic Meal Empire S1, Red Hot Designs and Bondi Vet S5. I’ve always wanted to whip out simple dish using creative ingredients, so I’m looking forward to watch the Programme “Epic Meal Empire S1” on FYI HD channel to give me some inspiration 🙂
