Most likely app buggy. Will solve in the next update(i think). Lazy to lipot. Sometime, their CS not have knowledge of what customer problem. So, better to use Feedback Form(use Gmail). Kindly message & wait what the respond. smile.gif

Earlier one lasted 7 years. The technician also shocked can last that long. Remote control still surviving all the beating. Previous remote was white and way bigger.

Note : they also replaced the astro card one go with the decoder.

You the first HD customer back in 2010? biggrin.gif

Me subscribe HD service in September 2014. Back then, just subscribe Family Pack. But got call from astro say new HD channel Astro Bollyone HD is offer! To enjoy that channel, they give me free preview HD service. So, i watch HD channel without HDMI cable. Nothing different. But, get hooked after watching ONE HD, Maya HD, AXN HD & Disney XD HD. So, upgrade package to Nilai pack with Variety & Learning.

After that, Astro SMS me. My account auto upgrade to Super Pack in March 2015. Installation comes with PVR HD box(built-in WiFi) & black remote control. And yeah, this time cucuk TV with HDMI cable. No more 3 colour red, yellow & white. And also, buang 32" inch HDTV(brand Sony). And buy new 42" inch Full-HD LED TV(brand LG) for RM1500. drool.gif rclxm9.gif

In January 2016, astro sms me again. Offer Super Pack Plus for RM188/month. I accept. Check the channel on Astro PVR box. Nothing interesting except got Korea pack. Feel wasted. sad.gif PM astro FB page to downgrade pack. They say cannot. Need to wait another 6 month or i need to pay penalty. mad.gif ranting.gif So, i wait 6 month & downgrade back to Nilai Pack. After this "incident" maybe i should reject next time. grumble.gif doh.gif

Forget it. The Astro quality is a lot lousier than hypptv unless u use the IPTV version of Astro. Satellite one really cannot make it.

Wonder how good SD channels on Astro IPTV.
Astro use MPEG4 for SD channel in their IPTV service?.. hmm.gif

Maybe cannot make 4K content in OD platform. Since PVR box not support 2160p or 2160i resolution. If "only" astro provide 1080p content on OD.. doh.gif sad.gif

TO me the hypptv hd contents looks absolutely nice even for those sd content.

Not sure how Astro fare in the IPTV though.

Maybe HyppTV not control HD bitrate settings.
And give max HD quality. Josh say that AXN HD in astro only 5mbps rate. As far as i know, broadcast in HD will be good in 7mbps or 8mbps rate.

Well, no competition. Customer keep ranting but still subscribe.
And package that always up up.

Astro cannot up price more in future. Their max package already touch RM150 & RM200. And also, astro ultimate pack, name "Super Pack Plus 4" price almost RM250. Rather, spend that money for Unifi 50mbps. dry.gif doh.gif doh.gif

The video quality on Astro IPTV is the same as what you see on regular Astro via satellite.

FYI, worldwide broadcast standards set by ITU (International Telecommunication Union) for UHD content/channel is only in Progressive, meaning only 2160p, no more interlaced like 1080i. So in fact, there are no such thing as 2160i like you said. So, UHD channel will transmitted in 2160p50 (50Hz countries) or 2160p60 (60Hz countries), either HEVC codec or H.264 codec.
*
Honestly, i don't know what is Hz meaning. 50Hz vs 60Hz. Does it make different, when we watch TV. Good la, no more interlace scan. Still remember that black line when watching 1080i Channels in astro. Imagine watch cartoon in 4K? HD still look good(for me) anyway. Can't imagine if anime/cartoon in 2160p resolution.. rclxub.gif

Most likely, Astro will use HEVC codec for 4K/UHD channels! Why? Because in India we need new STB that support 4K channel. Because, local Pay-TV in India is using HEVC/H.265 codec. With this HEVC codec, the video bitrate can be down lower bandwidth & picture still maintain. And also, if Astro use H.264/MPEG4 codec for 4K channels, it still looks good but high bandwidth consume(maybe 50Mbps per 4K channel) rather using HEVC for 25Mbps video bitrate. Lulz, can watch 5 HD channel for one 4K channels! laugh.gif laugh.gif

Still, too early to discuss about 4K channels. Me still waiting, many good SD channel in astro to be upgrade to HD( like Discovery HD & Cartoon Network HD). If astro "kindly" to give this channel. yawn.gif Or atleast, change MPEG2 to MPEG4 for better SD picture. puke.gif puke.gif mad.gif

This one, better Google yourself, if you really want to know. Because this is a very technical and broadcasting stuff that usually consumers don't bother. In simple words, 50Hz or 60Hz means 50fps or 60fps. When we say 50Hz, it refers to the European broadcast standards, PAL. For 60Hz, US broadcast standards, NTSC.

But the thing you need to know is, Malaysia using the European/UK standards which is PAL = 50Hz for TV. So the TV content you see in Malaysia are all 50Hz, including Astro, Hypp TV, MYTV or whatsoever.
In fact, majority of the countries around the world uses 50Hz PAL standards more than 60Hz.

60Hz is a little bit smoother than 50Hz, but 50Hz is still very smooth already, and most people can hardly tell the difference between 50Hz/60Hz.

Please note that I am referring this 50/60Hz thing to TV broadcasting standards, not to be confused with computer/phone screen's refresh rate, and gaming.

Anime/cartoon in 2160p is nothing surprising lah... Everything will soon goes to UHD eventually, just like how SD migrates to HD.

Yeah it is pretty much expected that Astro will use HEVC for UHD channels. I mean is, broadcasters have the option to choose to transmit either H.264/MPEG4 OR H.265/HEVC for UHD content, depend on their equipment, bandwidth and other factors. But it is true to say, UHD will be using much more bandwidth compared to HD channel in a single transponder. UHD broadcasting is still under trial for some countries, although some countries already have a very limited number of official, 24/7 UHD linear TV channel, especially developing countries like Korea/Japan. And some even still testing out HDR + UHD broadcasting too!

Discovery Channel on Astro is a dedicated Malaysia feed, and it is only available in SD. Asia feed one already have in HD. Not sure why Astro simply waste money to spend to have dedicated Malaysia feed for Discovery Channel. Cartoon Network on Astro is Asia feed, but it is in SD. Asia HD feed are already available "elsewhere", it is just that Astro didn't carry the channel just yet.

Astro are silently, already in transition to migrate from legacy Astro box to B.yond boxes as legacy boxes do not support MPEG4 and also DVB-S2.
Meaning that, if Astro change to MPEG4 for SD channels, customers who still using legacy boxes will no longer able to watch Astro, making legacy boxes totally useless.

Astro is taking their sweet time, obviously.
*
4K HDR channel? hmm.gif

Discovery in Malaysia feed. But, what kind of "exclusive/only available in Discovery Malaysia". And also, this 2017, channel provider seems quite about new channel launch in Asia feed. Last update, about new channel is only tvN Movies. And, i do wonder if tvN Movies in HyppTV & Astro(soon) is in Malaysia feed. I see got some title is made available in Malaysia territory. Go tvN Movies YouTube page. They, also have some Singapore exclusive movies(which not available in Malaysia). doh.gif doh.gif

I personally think, Astro's Animax or Animax On Demand should not be your main source of watching anime, especially when it comes to our censorship board and content availability.
Animax/Aniplus on either Astro or Hypp TV shall be your alternative platform for you to watch anime.

Conclusion: Don't expect these kinds of platforms to provide the best service that you would expect.
*
More likely, yeah. Some title is not available in Animax/Aniplus Asia. If want to support(legal watch but have less crappy censor) is using VPN + streaming service in US. Like Hulu, Funimation & Cruchyroll. drool.gif rclxm9.gif

In Malaysia(personally), TV & OTT service not brings as much new content(fresh from Japan). Like iflix & Netflix(Malaysia version) only have less content. If you using iflix. You will notice that they just focus on Malay, English TV series & K-Drama. Maybe, if have dedicated OTT service that just focus in anime content(Cruchyroll US). Maybe, will have some content also. This maybe will happen because some good show are showing in Animax & Aniplus channel. If you want to watch Boruto(free & legal) in Malaysia. You can download Cruchyroll app. But only got 3 new same day as Japan title(not available in Animax & Aniplus). This happen because georistriction maybe.

But, like i say. Get app US version much better or watch illegal(torrent & download). Which is not easy if u have slow internet. Just prefer to watch in Animax because more easy & already record. And some people not really bother with astro censor. doh.gif laugh.gif

Yeap. They are testing out HDR together with UHD channel offerings... Pretty cool, eh?

The dedicated feed will have some difference in programming and commercials compared to Asia feed. If you compare the TV schedule with Malaysia feed and Asia feed for Discovery Channel, it is the same most of the time, only with some programme showing differently. It is said that it is to cater Malaysian audience with the dedicated feed, but I don't see such necessary for Astro to do that for Discovery Channel.

It depends. Hypp TV (or Astro in the future) may take it from Asia feed, but they can modify a limited amount of programming by themselves, such as replacing a movie with another movie that is in their (Hypp TV) "movie library" with tvN Movies logo on it (make it look as identical as possible), so that viewers won't notice major difference in terms of channel UI compared to original Asia feed.

This sometimes (very seldom) happens on Fox Action Movies too (one of the example) as you will see some little tiny changes on channel UI such as channel logo size/position, different subtitle font/font size, no movie name indicator at the side of the screen (e.g. top right corner), etc.

I'm not so familiar about tvN Movies, but I know AXN in Singapore is a dedicated Singapore feed, meanwhile the rest of Asia like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, etc. is on Asia feed.

Well, i do notice it. The channel logo will be big & subtitle font will bigger(like ONE HD) & no movies title.. laugh.gif

Well, need more customer, then will take action.. bruce.gif

Hope hypptv can do something in future. They think with earning more profits & give b******* service to us will make customer happy. Earn more but at same time to add "quality channels" also cannot.

Start from last years till now. I don't see them adds good non rojak channel. Just because more people like to watch their in-house content. Doesn't mean we(not so much into astrojak) to be abandon.. bangwall.gif We also pay as other people paid! But to give quality & upgrade of channels to HD also cannot.

Sometime, i like to watch AFC & TLC channel. But, till today astro still not upgrade these channel. I believe, that this channel have many viewers than MTV & Animax because you can watch this channel with just to subscribe Family pack only. Many out there(maybe) request astro to add AFC HD long time ago. But, this is freaking 2017 still not add yet!! mad.gif ranting.gif
