Yes, too slow for watching. Especially as Malaysia IP is not the key market for VPN providers. Maybe with a high end provider it could work, but that then are prices suitable for companies.

May be each pay TV operator want to diversification their business..

MYTV > Purely Free no subscriptions at all (local channels)
astro > Pay TV subscriptions (NO free lunch in astro)
Sirius > Semi Pay TV subscriptions (It can be free or can be not "free"..)

Guys, does anyone here have any experience downgrading from Astro value pack to this NJOI?

Will astro send technician over to fix a new decoder special for NJOI or they will simply just do some trick on their site?

Currently im using this kind of decoder

I just 'switched' too. I terminated my Astro sub and switched to nJoi, was told to pay RM199 and wait 3-5 days from the end of my current subscription contract. Still using the same decoder and smartcard. No need to change.

During the 3-5 days, you have any channels to watch? Or screen went blank?

Screen went blank. Only Astro radio channels available. Good thing I have UnifiTV and Freeview TV.

As you switch to Njoi, you will be using back your existing Astro box. They'll just do the account migration on their end.

That photo you attached, is the Astro HD box.

(expecting) Upcoming new NJOI box would have wi-fi access, so that's great news for some people.

Much wow.

It is expected that Njoi would offer this model of set-top-box to new customers sooner or later... It's just a matter of time.
Very likely that the price for this Ulti Box will be much higher than the current RM300-400 price range.

Latest from Ashtro if u want to convert to Njoi.

Hah, not RM99 anymore 🤣🤣
Must be too many existing Astro customers wanting to migrate to Njoi

I got a confirmation from Astro earlier, and I have been informed that NJOI free SD channels will remain on Njoi platform until 2022.
Which means in other words, these 6 free SD channels which is available on Njoi platform now, will NOT be made available in HD for Njoi viewers:
- Astro Prima (125)
- Astro Oasis (126)
- Astro Xiao Tai Yang (344)
- Astro AEC (346)
- CCTV 4 (375)
- Astro Arena (801)

Example, let's say from May 2021 onwards (after all the SD cessation exercise ends), you want to watch either Astro Prima (CH105 HD/125 SD) or Astro AEC (CH306 HD/346 SD) channel.

If you're using Astro (except Ulti/Ultra Box users of course), you will realise that CH125 and CH346 have gone "disappear/missing" from your channel list.
Hence, you can only watch the HD version of the corresponding channels which is CH105 and CH306.

However, if you are using Njoi, you will see that CH125 and CH346 still appear on your channel list, while CH105 and CH306 doesn't appear on the channel list just like now. Yes, Njoi viewers can only watch the channels in SD quality, while Astro customers get to watch it only in HD quality.

So this time you might wonder "how come like that?" Then let me continue on first.

Hence, you'll realise that only Njoi prepaid channels are being upgraded to HD, while Njoi free SD channels aren't being upgraded to HD quality. So if you wonder how come like that? The answer is simple: "It's free stuff, what you expect? That is the treatment you get (Njoi customer) for using free stuff."

Hope my answer above clarifies all your confusions.

is there plan for Astro to make NJOI channel IPTV options?
since it already free to watch.

No.
But being upselled to Astro IPTV service then got la. That is if you get called by their marketing team 😂😂😂

really old school business model, not moving with time.
will subsribe to NJoI IPTV if the price is reasonable, as it's weather proof.

somebody will use it to pair with their cellular internet. RIP cellular traffic congestion (it's already extremely bad currently).

How would you expect Njoi IPTV service to look like? And how different it is, compared to current Astro IPTV's offering?

current astro iptv only for astro customer, not independently available.

If Njoi would to introduce its IPTV service, how do you think it would look like? And how much are you willing to pay for it?
