STARHUB has offered to carry SingTel's pay-TV content on its set-top box, which could mean that pay-TV subscribers will not need to switch set-top boxes or get another one to watch content from Singapore's two pay-TV players.

SingTel has yet to give an answer though, and said this was the first it had heard of the offer.
