Mr Rajan Singh and Neeraj Arora talk about this new launch, but they really need to sort out call centre staff and the customer service they offer as a company. It is by far the worst I have ever come across, it is appaling. They may not have many customers left if the company continues to run in this manner. The company far from understands its customers!

Asian television..its now been some time since TV Asia..followed by currently 20 to 30 Asian channels over UK,Europe are available..BUT its very difficult to establish,if any of these channels understand the meaning of television broadcasting. What Asians here need and how come with Ofcom rules of at least 30% local production..we dont see any local taste in programmes..otherthen some pop songs.

It's high time ONE local Asian TV channels come on..not all this back dated programmes from Asia.

I would like OFCOM to wake up to this premium number theft..most of the channels major income comes form this..it is illegal.

I am open to any channel who disagrees and confronts my above text..

i concur with Robina on call centre staff and the customer service. its worse and never ending queues. they are saying sometimes there lines are occupied for 2 hours. so you need to wait 2 hours.

outrageous...

Do we have to pay £17.99 for another seven channels of advertising? As at present we watch a programme for less than 15 minutes within advertisements.
Secondly why do we watch live programmes broadcasts after a week or months?
This is true for all Indian channels in U.K
Can we ever have a decent Indian channel in this country?

outrageous for 17.99 for new subscriber. i would prefer watching this serial on you tube rather than paying 17.99 in this econommic conditions. Moreover the serials they show are always 1 month behing the india one. So on you tube I get to watch the latest as well as not pay ... :) kiddo to you tube ...and down down to this asia package ..

Why new subscribers should pay £17.99 instead of £15.99 for the same viewasia channels under the bad economic conditions? The Company should treat everyone the same way if it wants to broaden its customers base.
There should not be any disparity on subscription charges for old and new customers.I do agree with other viewers and commentators that broadcast should cover 30% of local production in regional stories,dramas,soaps,and other programmes. Everything seems to be made in India,.....It does not matter what you talk about. Give new direction to these programmes.

I have been a customer for Sony B4U for ages. This package should be cheaper anyway because if we get 6 pack form sky each pack costs a £1 and each pack got about hundreds of channels.these are only seven channels and they charging 15.99 to 17.99 which is ridiculous.

I'm customer of Sony B4U,last 6 years, can i get other 5 channels( MaxMix) with same price £15.99/month (7 channels).

I'm customer of maxmix from last two years. Can i get B4U & SONY TV with same price (15.99)?

I only watch sony for the Indian news but sadly the focus is not 'all India' but focussed on Kashmir or political news - why not be like the BBC or ITV - a broad spread covering international & national news. Secondly, adverts on Sony are the evidence based? Skin lightening - Why? We are in the 21st century and still skin colour an issue with Indians!!!

Living in UK, Most of the Asians[Indians,Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis, Napalese & Pakistani]subscribe to the basic BSkyB package[£18.50]and pay just £1 more to add Style and culture which includes 'Star One','Star Plus'.'Star Movies','Star News','NDTV News'and as a freeview you also get '9x','9xm Music','NDTV Imagine','Sunrise TV','B4U Music','Zee Music','MATV' and many more other Asian channels,There isn't enough time to watch all the programs available on all these channels, so why would anyone want to pay for 'Viewasia package'???

Appalling telephone lines! What is the point having such a launch when you cannot get through customer services. No indication of tel. working hrs, no queue indication and you guessed right still trying to take-up the package (has been 5 days now)!No other means of communication for customers.i.e. internet, messages, email etc????

wt can a say abt view asia !!!! i hav been wi b4u for da past year n i wa offered the view asia package so i took da package(datz afta wating 2 hurz 2 get through) i rang on the 1st of aug 2009 and guess wot ????????? they havnt switched on the channes yet!!! itz been more dan 10 dayz wht sort of service iz dat WE LIVE IN DA UK if i asked for da same service back home a would hav got it by now!!
plz people tell me wht to do ?

I'm a Virgin Media Cable TV subscriber and there are only 4 of the View Asia channels available on their network. I hope to subscribe to the package when the rest of the channels arrive.

Hi..is it possibale to see these stations in Africa?

Can u tell me how much is the call charge of 08448552222 from BT line?

When I asked the operator at View Asia, he wouldn't tell me!

Please let me know can i view this in Tanzania through DSTV.

£18 for 6-7 channels. Ridiculous. And what is the standard of these programmes. What these companies think whom they are talking to? They need to wake up.

it would be much feasible and affordable for all if the asian package channels costs below £10 every month... though its quite expensive for all.... if its £5 for all channels which is included in VIEWASIA network... then vieweres will definitely increase alottt

I think the board directors of the View Asia should take these comments into consideration and lower their package price. Deffo more people will take the package. So more money will be made. Its too ridiculous for words how much they're charging.

View Asia is a rip off and their service is useless!

I think everyone should cancel this package, its the only way Sony/B4U will take notice and reduce charges, I have done exactly this!

It don't think i can pay £17.99 for few indian channels. Some channels have only repetative programs going on all the time. I will not even recommend to any one for this package.

i want sab channel, aajtak channel frequency.
