Hi.
I just recently subscribed astro with hd
Currently using the new smaller dmt
My problem is all hd channels do not work. The screen will turn black with flickering video 1 sec, then black
Already change wit a new dmt, but the problem still persist. The technician suggested for me to upgrade to hd pvr to use its dmt as he said the small dmt is not compatible with my tv.
My tv model is samsung series 6 uhdtv
Anybody encounter the same problem?

Have you try reboot your Astro DMT? If still persists, try connect other HDMI ports on your TV.

Already reboot , change hdmi ports. Still same problem

Strangely, my SD channels are blurrier after the Astro installer came to troubleshoot certain HD channels showing "Service Not Available". Apparently, he changed the satellite entry point selection as well as recrimping the cable at the dish. Any idea why the SD channels now look worse? I asked him afterwards, he washed his hands off, said Astro signals either work or doesn't work only, no such thing as quality degradation....

Wow Astro biggrin.gif punya la ramai dah downgrade pakej. Dia bagi ni je brows.gif
To be relevent again please revise and give wide variety selection of good SD&HD channel smile.gif
People will lose Astro trust if their keep up the price or price remain same but 1 or 2 channel have gone already sad.gif

Next year let see if their keep the monopoly license or just let it expire biggrin.gif
I know it just satellite TV exclusive for use. But good to know if really expire devil.gif

RM60? That's the pricing of their family hd package. In the current economic situation, people no longer see pay TV as a necessity.

StarHub TV Welcomes Asia’s First Korean Blockbuster Channel
Singapore, 15 December 2016 – StarHub TV customers will soon be the first in Asia to enjoy the latest Korean blockbusters and all-time favourite Korean movies in high definition, and round-the-clock. tvN Movies HD, Asia’s first dedicated Korean movie channel, is set to launch on StarHub TV (Channel 818) on 11 January 2017. To enable greater convenience, the channel will also be available on demand as tvN Movies VOD HD. Customers can catch it anytime on StarHub TV Channel 819, or stream the On Demand Channel via StarHub Go, StarHub's online streaming service.

tvN Movies HD features an unrivalled lineup of top-notch Korean movies that are produced by CJ E&M, Korea’s largest production house, and other major players in the industry. The channel promises to captivate audiences with dazzling Korean stars across genres including action, comedy, drama, horror, romance and thriller. Offering over 200 titles a year, viewers can also look forward to special late night screenings dedicated to horror, thriller and mature theme movies on tvN HD.

Expressing her delight at the launch, Ms Lee Soo Hui, Head of Content & TV, StarHub, said, “We are glad to partner CJ E&M for the launch of tvN Movies and tvN Movies VOD, which will enable StarHub TV customers to be the first in Asia to catch the premiere of these two highly-anticipated channels. As the parent company of tvN network, CJ E&M is renowned for its quality movie productions and distributions. With over 200 titles a year, fans can get their fill of swoon-worthy K-idols or the latest blockbuster K-movies whether they are in the comfort of their living rooms or streaming on the go."

“The introduction of tvN Movies in Asia is a strategic move for CJ E&M to broaden its market reach by tapping on the rising trend of Korean movies, which is in high demand in the Southeast Asian region. Starting with Singapore, we expect to launch in other major Southeast Asian territories including Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Indonesia in 2017.” Samey Lee, CEO of CJ E&M HK remarked. “By launching the world’s first & only Korean Blockbuster channel with StarHub TV in Singapore, we hope to expand our service offerings and, at the same time, deliver a unique and sophisticated Korean home-cinema experience to StarHub TV customers.”

Upcoming key titles that will feature on tvN Movies HD include:

A Violent Prosecutor - A prosecution lawyer who has been framed and convicted for murder, tries to clear his name and catch the real murderer from jail, with the help of a con artist. Stars Hwang Jung-Min, Kang Dong-Won and Lee Sung-Min.

Inside Men – Based on the webtoon, The Insider, Inside Men is a political thriller which exposes corruption within the Korean society. A former political henchman seeks revenge when he was callously dropped by a ruthless politician. Meanwhile, a determined investigator tries to find proof of a connection between the two of them. Stars Lee Byung-Hun, Jo Seung-Woo and Baek Yoon-Sik.

Time Renegades – Featuring Lim Soo-jung, Jo Jung-suk, Lee Jin-wook, this mystery thriller centres on a high school teacher in 1983 and a detective in 2015. They join forces through their dreams to change the perilous fate of the woman they both love, 32 years apart.

The Age of Shadows – Song Kang-ho and Gong Yoo star in this action-packed thriller which is set in the 1920s. The movie unfolds between a group of resistance fighters who try to bring in explosives from Shanghai to destroy key Japanese facilities in Seoul, while the Japanese agents try to stop them in their tracks.

To enjoy tvN Movies HD and tvN Movies VOD HD, StarHub TV customers can subscribe to the [B]tvN Movies HD Pack at a monthly fee of $8.56 (including GST). Existing customers of Qiang Dang Yu Le Pack will be able to watch tvN Movies HD and tvN Movies VOD HD at no additional charge.[/B] TV subscribers of the tvN Movies HD Pack will be able to enjoy tvN VOD HD via StarHub Go, StarHub’s online streaming service, free-of-charge.

See, even UNIFI users are not watching HYPPTV because lack of good contents.

According to Bazlan, not many Unifi or BBGP switch on Hypp TV and that the offering of higher speeds will give them an opportunity to enjoy Hypp TV. “We are looking at the upside to the average revenue per customer through offering them connectivity and value added services.

If that 'quota' plan comes to fruition, we either stuck with TM Hypptv, ASTRO OR MYTV.......

With 2017 coming, it's high time for them to revise their packages to offer more flexibility. For instance, Super Pack 1 customers do not even watch Tayangan Hebat or Thangatirai channels bundled in the package. Comparing Astro's packaging with Starhub and MioTV, they have more bundle packages to target different market segments compared to Astro's Valuepack, Superpack and Superpack Plus.

To me I think its highly impossible for good new HD additions! Asstro as it is now is too expensive and/or is overpriced. When January comes HSBB prices most likely will be slashed ,tougher times await them. Times are bad it will be either one situation for many! hmm.gif asstro or HSBB ,many will opt for HSBB nod.gif

As always, Astro will always find all sort of ways to earn money, desperately.

As for the eGG, Astro just create a channel platform that provides all those live game tournament matches onto the channel, and then they produce some talk shows related to eSports, and yeah... can sell the channel to other country dy...

Astro so called OD with Home Wi-Fi is very lousy. yawn.gif puke.gif
Nothing interesting. Slow download server. Outdated content.
I have 10Mbps speed to try to use it. But download very slow. mad.gif

Just close shop your tak guna OD service. Can't compete with Iflix and Netflix at all.
Atleast this streaming service have something new to watch.
But Astro punya stream on demand PVR service. Just like their promote premium.
With outdated server and new content.

Promosi bukan main. Cerita sama je. Ulang banyak kali.
Download ambil masa yang lama. Tapi boleh tengok 2 hari je. bangwall.gif

I bring up this to Astro group here..

The astro portal seems like slightly update from their system. However, I realize that astro Njoi provide Freebies for certain channels. Did you guy saw for this? Is it really true free channels for this? And how long duration for this free channels?

I think astro unable to pay the cost for the newest and latest contents.
Some-more this OD is really useless, even give me free OD channel I also don't want. puke.gif

I rather prefer astro could provide other oversea channels, but PLS don't give in-house channels and useless channels like Astro Xiao Tai Yan, Astro Shuang Xing, Astro Hua Hee and so on.. shakehead.gif

It is true that currently Astro OD library is limited. Not much variety of programmes to watch compared to other platforms.
And some titles even don't have subtitles option too...

I'm using Maxis 10Mbps and I have no issues streaming (while downloading) OD content, even SD or HD.
Looks that the download/streaming issue could be from your side, not Astro's.
If you connect using WiFi, then it could be WiFi related issue. Try use LAN cable instead.

I dropped my Superpack 1 package in September becoz the team i support in the EPL was relegated to a league that astro dont show. Plus astro hike the price at that time too so made sense to drop.

I got myself an android box plus an IPTV service from a member here on lowyat..got to watch my team again plus epl plus anything u want in this world from the box and iptv service.

Astro has been bugging me. Call me countless times after i drop the package. Luckily i have caller id app so when they call, i reject n block them straight away. Can't call me, they send that SMS about that EPL offer. Dulu when i was with them, never called, just collect money. Now begging me to have them back.

Padan muka. Thanks but ur history astro

Irony is:

If you go from paying more to less, Astro will call you to ask for more money.

If you are already paying so much money to Astro, why they want to call you for more money?

Technical question here, I am experiencing Astro PVR decoder HDMI connection causing my Sony HT-NT5 sounder loss of audio. This happened when sound system output enabled from TV (with Astro connected to TV, TV HDMI ARC to Soundbar) during watching Astro is working fine until I switch off TV and sound bar and switch both on again, then no more sound is output to soundbar.

Called Astro and waiting for a change of decoder....

And this Korean drama is aired in Korean audio dub instead of usual Mandarin audio dub.

However, 16:9 commercials still in 4:3 with letterbox...

And it appears that they've changed a new subtitle font for good.

Same goes to 8TV. But some programmes still displays letterbox.

I think 8tv can be the 1st media prima channel to broadcast in HD because most of their programs are imported from Korea, China, HK, US etc and are already in HD format.

I'm just moved to a high rise building with centralised astro dish recently. The house only has one satellite output port from wall for my astro pvr decoder so astro installer uses a splitter to split one cable to two.

Now I having problem to record tv programmes on a HD channel and a SD channel at the same time. It always lost signal for tuner 1, and HD programme will not be recorded or stop recording. Any solution for this problem?

Media Prima is still broadcasting in SD anyway. Unless the transmission infrastructure fee is significantly reduced, or else we won't be able to see Media Prima broadcasts in HD in the near future.

Solution is either you have 2 satellite ports connected from your wall socket (not using any splitter), OR connect to your own satellite dish installed outside your unit (example: balcony) if your building management allows it and then use dual LNB and connects two (2) RG6 coax cable, OR subscribe to Astro IPTV. Try contacting your building management and ask for advice from them.

In technical explanation (that Astro will not explain to you):
In simple words, one (1) satellite port to the satellite dish (Universal LNB) can only work with either:

Low frequency Ku band (10.7GHz to 11.6GHz) (which is used for all SD channels on Measat 3, HD channels on Measat 3b, as well as selected HD channels on Measat 3 satellite)

- OR -

High frequency Ku band (11.7GHz-12.75GHz) (only HD channels on Measat 3a satellite).


This is because the HD channel that you recording are from Measat 3a satellite as Measat 3a satellite uses high band range of Ku band. This is a technical limitation due to incompatible satellite transponder frequency range.

Based on your installation, this is what will happen if you record 2 channels simultaneously:

Tuner 1: AXN (701) - SD channel on Measat 3
Tuner 2: HBO (411) - SD channel on Measat 3

Possible? Yes.
-----

Tuner 1: Astro SuperSport HD (831) - HD channel on Measat 3a
Tuner 2: Fox Movies Premium HD (433) - HD channel on Measat 3a

Possible? Yes.
-----

Tuner 1: Astro AEC (301) - SD channel on Measat 3
Tuner 2: Astro AEC HD (306) - HD channel on Measat 3b

Possible? Yes.
-----

Tuner 1: Lifetime HD (709) - HD channel on Measat 3a
Tuner 2: Discovery Channel (551) - SD channel on Measat 3

Possible? No.
It depends which channel start to record first. Assuming you are not watching any programme (leave your decoder standby). So for example Lifetime programme starts at 5.00pm-7.00pm, but documentary starts at 6.30pm-7.30pm. Then it will start to record Lifetime programme first, until 7.00pm. Then only it will start to record documentary from 7.00-7.30pm, so your first 30 mins of the programme (starts from 6.30-7.00pm) won't be recorded.

If 2 channels programme ends at the same time, then only the first programme that recorded first will be recorded, the second programme will not be recorded.
------

So as you can see above, only 1 port (for your case, the only one port from your wall socket) can receive one frequency range for Universal LNB (the normal kind of LNB, which is used on most homes and centralised building). Once the satellite port is receiving TV channels under low freq (SD channels), then you can no longer receive high freq (such as HD channels on Measat 3a), until you stop watching low freq channels then you tune to high freq channels, you can watch high freq channels, then you can't watch low freq channels.

You cannot receive both low and high freq at the same satellite port (connected to Universal LNB) at the same time. Unless if you use dual LNB, where the LNB has 2 satellite ports connected to Tuner 1 and Tuner 2, then it won't have issue. Or you use SatCR LNB, you can receive both low and high freq at the same time using 1 cable (or existing cable), but this is only possible for individual satellite dishes but not possible for centralised building due to technical limitation. You can get SatCR LNB from Astro and it costs RM53 (incl. GST).

It depends on the contract of your decoder/subscription. For HD box is RM240, PVR box is RM500.

If your decoder is stolen, you should file a police report instead.

What happened to your decoder? Convenient to share with us?

Thank you for your explanation. thumbsup.gif

Sometimes some HD channels will lost its signal even I'm not recording any programme, e.g. 831 (HD) no signal but 832 (HD) has it / 309 (HD) no signal but 310 (HD) has it

Do you know what is the reason? hmm.gif

They are cutting costs,home made Rojak is cheaper,we will end with more of such content and wont be surprised if more stand alone channels removed! Infact our ITV is another Rojak of various versions of ITV! Quite surprised to note some customer patterns here, In House channels are hardly removed cos the support remains! Customers are still going for Astro First ,Astro Best and very soon SVOD! hmm.gif

Not acceptable at all considering we do not have much choice regarding cable tv companies in Malaysia - just like what happened with Sundance channel. Instead your schedule is full of channels of similar content. We also pay far too much for what Astro offers sad.gif so disappointed.

Why are you cancelling ITV Choice (735)?
In the 15+ years I've subscribed to Astro I have suffered seeing it decline from a good service to a joke!
With ITV gone - it is hardly worth the quite expensive monthly cost!

I agree 100%. I'm so upset with this stupid decision. I called Astro last night and they said the result of a survey indicated that not many people watch this channel. I do and i pay for it every month. Astro will not be replacing it with another channel and not reducing the subscription fee. There's nothing much worth watching anymore.

Thank you for your explanation.  thumbsup.gif

Sometimes some HD channels will lost its signal even I'm not recording any programme, e.g. 831 (HD) no signal but 832 (HD) has it / 309 (HD) no signal but 310 (HD) has it

Do you know what is the reason?  hmm.gif
*
Some HD channels are in low frequency, some are high frequency. You can only receive (also including recording) either low or high frequency from ONE port only, remember?

If Tuner 1 is already on 831 (high freq), then Tuner 2 can only receive 721 (high freq) HD channels

If Tuner 1 is already on 831 (high freq), then Tuner 2 can't receive 306 (low freq) HD channels


I suggest you do something about this, because this can make your TV experience miserable. Plus, don't make these technical s**t ruin your TV experience.

Get 2 separate satellite ports for your PVR, no splitter! Or, connect own satellite dish installed at balcony if your building management allows. Or upgrade to Astro IPTV. Or try ask if your building management, see if your building's centralised dish supports DCSS, which is similar to SatCR, it requires only 1 cable and it can powered to multiple satellite inputs/decoders (also known as Unicable). (Sorry if I am being too technical into this).

Don't understand what I am talking? Simple, call Astro customer service and see what they can help you.

No new channel but more potong channels:

Astro continuously reviews its content proposition to offer the best choices and a variety of compelling content for our customers. To this end, we regret to inform that ITV Choice Channel (Ch 735) will cease transmission from 16th January 2017 at 00:15 hours as the viewership trends for ITV have not been within expectation. However, we will be showing selected titles via Subscription On Demand (SVOD) pack
*
In my opinion, since they decided to drop ITV Choice due to low viewership, then.... What else can we do?

Pay TVs (not only Astro) chose to drop the channel due to low viewership is most probably because they are not getting much revenue/profit by offering the channel. So they rather focus on other channels that they can earn more profit. Since there is only minority of viewers watches the channel, as if not many viewers are interested to watch the channel, Astro is more likely to not somehow renew their channel agreement with the channel provider (ITV Choice). It could mean that Astro has already realised this for a very long time (based on their statistics and stuff), so Astro just continue providing the channel to viewers, and when the time comes (agreement period going to end), they will drop the channel.

So at the end of the day, it is not about whether the viewers want to watch or whatsoever, it is all about business, it is all about money.

The point is Astro is so used to arbitrarily drop channels without any replacement and maintain the package price. Like Starhub even if they remove certain channels, they will bring in new channels to calm down customers.

You can't directly compare with Singapore's Starhub TV...

You know Singaporeans, their priority is quality of service, and yeah, "kiasu" (afraid of losing) (No offence to Singaporeans). So for them, keeping customers happy are part of their priority for sure, unlike Astro. If the customers dissatisfied with Starhub TV, most probably the customers will not choose to re-contract their subscription with them, and they will either terminate the service or move to Singtel TV. Their company reputation is important, that's why.

In Singapore, they have competition. Malaysia? We got monopoly.

Monopoly business are unhealthy, and you know that. They won't care much about customer's satisfaction as long they keep paying their bills on time. Astro has over 5 million customers. Some of the customers cancel a package won't affect them much. Even Astro's company is ruined to some people, so what? What they want is people keep paying them money. Don't like Astro? Want to cancel Astro? Okay, so if you cancel Astro, do you have other pay TV to subscribe to, that can provide good channels as Astro? Hypp TV? Does their channels suit your "taste"?

See the difference now? Sorry to say, but this is true.

Thanks again. thumbsup.gif I did liaise with my building management and they also sent an astro technician to my place for checking, at the end using splitter is my only option as individual satellite dish installation is not allowed.

IPTV might be a better option for me but I don't think it is available at my 6 months old building, currently no Unifi, Maxis and Time fibre...

Are you sure your area doesn't have Unifi? Well, why would you want to buy that house??? You should check for fibre broadband coverage of that house before you buy house next time.

Is Streamyx available in your area?

TM and other HSBB players policy, they target rich men area first while the poor/middle classs get 1 -4 MB streamyx,this is the trend here. When they launch unifi they target the Taman with rich people ! cry.gif My place unifi launched only town area and selected housing areas so had to take 8MB which is for my Taman! cry.gif

They slash the price of NJOI installation fee. Perhaps they realize the way to grow the users base is through NJOI and prepaid subsciption, not pay TV.

Do u already have the IPTV subscription or plan to get it? Let me share. My in laws are on 5mbps unifi from the old package. And i went during reason visit there recently. I can tell u eventhough my own IPTV subscription needs minimum 4mbps, it was not nice viewing becoz of d buffering and d stuttering. Im on 30mbps at home so could clearly see that it wasnt working well on 5 mbps. So be sure urs would work nicely on 4mbps before u commit. Just sharing my experience.

Thanks for your sharing bro. Both screamyx n iptv yet to subscribe, still planning. So, means that I need to ensure first the 4/8 mbps screamyx is stable enough before subscribing it right?

I would suggest so. Getting an android box is not a problem. But then if u were to subscribe to an IPTV provider, make sure it has what u need n d service is stable. Next, if they could provide a trial, use it to test with the speed u have available.

U dont want to commit to any IPTV but it isnt stable or ur speed not gud enuf for it and in d end, go back to Astro..

I would say thats no guarantee. IPTV usually depends on the service servers and maitainance. You might have sufficient speed for OD and maybe Astro's own IPTV service but other IPTV i dont know. Im not that gud in my explanation either but just sharing my own experience and what i've learned since switching to IPTV from Astro. Just my 2 cents.

Great explanation by CTU...

By the way, what kind of channels you would expect from IPTV? If you are referring to a underground IPTV service (not legal type), then you should be aware:

1) No guarantee that you can watch all channels without issues as the channel provider's server might be under maintenance or down occasionally, or there's large amount of users are watching that particular channel and the server became busy, hence you might not able to watch the channel.

2) If the channel provider gets the channel from Astro satellite, then if the channel provider's location is currently heavy rain, you will not able to watch the channel (you will see "Service currently not available" message until the whether over there is cleared.

3) Audio/video is not well synchronised (lip-sync issue)
Sometimes you might notice the audio/video does not match on what you see/listen. Such as the video is playing ahead over audio, or the video is playing slower behind over audio.

4) Some channels might occasionally buffering, or it will kept on Loading when switching channels

5) Some underground IPTV service does not have EPG service, means you can't get TV schedule like what you have on Astro, such as what programme is currently showing or showing next.

6) Don't expect for interchangeable audio/subtitle languages like usual pay TV. The subtitles you see on screen are most probably hard coded (permanently) and cannot be change or turn off like usual pay TV.

7) If your speed is not very high (such as 4Mbps or 8Mbps), and even if you can watch IPTV channel smoothly without or occasionally buffering, that doesn't means you can surf the Internet as usual. You may experience slow browsing speeds when watching IPTV channels. Don't forget that streaming IPTV channel also uses your existing Internet speed.


I'm telling you this is not to scare you. I'm telling you is because I hope you are aware of the disadvantages of underground IPTV service, besides knowing that you can get access of hundred to thousands of channels from local to international by subscribing to IPTV service at a cheap/affordable price.

P.S: I used before, that's why I know biggrin.gif

Great advise and explanation again by the sifu notworthy.gif

I'd just like to add a few more basic things for those who might be thinking of switching to android box or IPTV in addition to what has been said above. Just sharing the experience for others' benefit. For your info, I'm super happy with my IPTV subscription and below are not things I am scaring you with. Just for sharing only biggrin.gif

1. First and most important, who are you staying with? Are you sharing ur Astro with with ur family with young kids? With ur parents? or u living alone and only u watch astro? The thing is, if u are staying with others who watch the same Astro, and suddenly you cut it saying ur IPTV will be as good and cheaper than Astro, then prepare urself for an endless war with complaints, bickering, whining and crying and so on. If u are already on Astro, consider IPTV as an alternative for your ownself. Maybe only u watch sports, or movies or drama series. Then maybe u can drop only those packages from Astro and leave the rest for those who watch the other programmes and packages. You do not, I repeat, do not take away Astro from those who rely on it. For example, I dropped my sports, movies, and mustika packages as I was the only one watching it. I could still get those packages from my IPTV so I left the news, kids and korean channels still on Astro for parents, kids and of course wife.

2. IPTV is not a direct replacement for Astro in terms of quality and content. Some IPTV service, both legal and illegal, can provide you some if not most of Astro channels. But don't complain if the quality is not as crystal clear HD as Astro. Maybe it is also in HD but there will always be that slight advantage to Astro because our eyes has been used to it so whatever the HD version IPTV has to offer, it will never be 100% as good as Astro. Like joshhd mentioned, you will not have the option of changing audio, subtitles. Some IPTV like mine, has EPG but not for Astro based channels. So don't expect the Astro 'feel'.

3. International or non-local/non-astro Channels on IPTV might same in name with Astro but might come from a different feed. Like I said above, if your family needs the Astro channels, then maybe you should stick to it because it might be impossible to have everything they have on Astro with what you will get through IPTV. Advantage of IPTV is that you will get hundreds of channels from around the world directly 'Live' to you. But beware, if you have channels from around the world, it means they could be uncensored or unfiltered for sex, violence and all those things that you will not get on Astro. For example, the IPTV I have used to have movie channels that were on a direct feed from the US like all those Cinemax, HBO, Showtime channels. These channels are uncensored and unfiltered to suit their adult audience from 12 am to around 6 am US time. That will be 12-6pm our time. You do not want ur kids with the remote at this time of the day as they might just fall on some 'wrestling' action. When I say 'wrestling' action, I mean full on wrestling action like you get in the back room of a cetak rompak DVD shop. so if you have kids or even parents around, you should take careful measures with these channels if you were on IPTV. I dropped these channels from my subscription as I could rely on movie apps from the android box. Much better than being unable to control what is shown on the tv with ur wife always at home, parents coming around and a kid growing up.

4. Not everything is bad if you switch to IPTV. The fee u pay is way cheaper than Astro. I paid a 1 year subscription which was the same as 2 months of payment to Astro. Not only am I happy about the fees, but it has what I want compared to what Astro was providing, namely sports, football content plus some entertainment channels. You might probably get much more than what Astro can give. The IPTV I subscribe to can be access through mutiple ways, meaning I can watch it on mobile phone, laptop, tablet and PC. Try to get something like that as an added bonus. These are some of the advantages of IPTV

5. Be sure to find a trusted and respectable IPTV dealer before you commit.My IPTV subscription is stable and the provider is always on hand to help fix any problems I or any of his subscribers encounter. Do not be blinded by cheap offers or a long list of channels. IPTV service providers like to offer Astro channels to get ur interest up. But be sure to ask for a trial and make sure what they offer is what you will get. If possible, get in touch with any of their current subscribers to see what their opinions are.

6. Finally, I would strongly suggest that anyone who has Astro but is thinking of getting IPTV, to consider IPTV as an investment, rather than a replacement. Nothing beats Astro even if their content is like a rojak, repeats after repeats, full of inhouse channels, they dont have what IPTV have and of course their fees are ridiculously high. We as Malaysians have been growing up with them since young and even if their service has gotten worse over the years, there will always be things that they have that we can't replace. Maybe we, the younger generation, like myself hehehehe can be a bit tech savvy and find alternatives to Astro. But like myself too, there will always be family members who need it like my grandparents, my parents, my siblings, my wife and now even my kids. So, get urself an IPTV subscription to maybe help you cut your Astro bills, but don't get it to replace Astro if you have others who rely on it.

sorry for my long post here. I'm 6 months into my experience with IPTV and Astro. So wanted to share it here for anyone who might need some tips. oh and by the way, I didn't even touch on the technicalities of the android box, software, and even internet speed. A lot more things to consider when you want to sign up for IPTV service other than just internet speed. Like I said, treat it as an investment, not a replacement until you get the hang of it and can say goodbye to Astro for good. rclxms.gif

PS: I can recommend a good and trusted IPTV service for anyone interested in stable and uncountable sports channels for football. Also has UK and US channels too for movies, music, documentaries, kids, news, entertainment, some Astro, Singapore, Indonesian channels just to name a few. thumbsup.gif

Great! rclxms.gif The facts exposed! Good info to all who may think that IPTV is stable and reliable. Iptv is just another source for us to get something extra!I am also using IPTV and I fully agree with you,with 8mbps I still have buffering,lost signals,server down ,only about 100 channels of 1000 claimed works,audio video issues but I use it for channels which astro does not hv or expensive. From superpack I downgraded Value Pack,just to keep my wife busy! Pls PM your best recommendations,thank you

Great explanation by CTU...

By the way, what kind of channels you would expect from IPTV? If you are referring to a underground IPTV service (not legal type), then you should be aware:

1) No guarantee that you can watch all channels without issues as the channel provider's server might be under maintenance or down occasionally, or there's large amount of users are watching that particular channel and the server became busy, hence you might not able to watch the channel.

2) If the channel provider gets the channel from Astro satellite, then if the channel provider's location is currently heavy rain, you will not able to watch the channel (you will see "Service currently not available" message until the whether over there is cleared.

3) Audio/video is not well synchronised (lip-sync issue)
Sometimes you might notice the audio/video does not match on what you see/listen. Such as the video is playing ahead over audio, or the video is playing slower behind over audio.

4) Some channels might occasionally buffering, or it will kept on Loading when switching channels

5) Some underground IPTV service does not have EPG service, means you can't get TV schedule like what you have on Astro, such as what programme is currently showing or showing next.

6) Don't expect for interchangeable audio/subtitle languages like usual pay TV. The subtitles you see on screen are most probably hard coded (permanently) and cannot be change or turn off like usual pay TV.

7) If your speed is not very high (such as 4Mbps or 8Mbps), and even if you can watch IPTV channel smoothly without or occasionally buffering, that doesn't means you can surf the Internet as usual. You may experience slow browsing speeds when watching IPTV channels. Don't forget that streaming IPTV channel also uses your existing Internet speed.
I'm telling you this is not to scare you. I'm telling you is because I hope you are aware of the disadvantages of underground IPTV service, besides knowing that you can get access of hundred to thousands of channels from local to international by subscribing to IPTV service at a cheap/affordable price.

P.S: I used before, that's why I know biggrin.gif

They got legal and illegal one meh? Legal one shud be ok what in term of channel buffering, or it just the same as illegal one? I dont mind any IPTV channel as long as it got sports channel on it.

Great advise and explanation again by the sifu notworthy.gif

I'd just like to add a few more basic things for those who might be thinking of switching to android box or IPTV in addition to what has been said above. Just sharing the experience for others' benefit. For your info, I'm super happy with my IPTV subscription and below are not things I am scaring you with. Just for sharing only biggrin.gif

1. First and most important, who are you staying with? Are you sharing ur Astro with with ur family with young kids? With ur parents? or u living alone and only u watch astro? The thing is, if u are staying with others who watch the same Astro, and suddenly you cut it saying ur IPTV will be as good and cheaper than Astro, then prepare urself for an endless war with complaints, bickering, whining and crying and so on. If u are already on Astro, consider IPTV as an alternative for your ownself. Maybe only u watch sports, or movies or drama series. Then maybe u can drop only  those packages from Astro and leave the rest for those who watch the other programmes and packages. You do not, I repeat, do not take away Astro from those who rely on it. For example, I dropped my sports, movies, and mustika packages as I was the only one watching it. I could still get those packages from my IPTV so I left the news, kids and korean channels still on Astro for parents, kids and of course wife.

2. IPTV is not a direct replacement for Astro in terms of quality and content. Some IPTV service, both legal and illegal, can provide you some if not most of Astro channels. But don't complain if the quality is not as crystal clear HD as Astro. Maybe it is also in HD but there will always be that slight advantage to Astro because our eyes has been used to it so whatever the HD version IPTV has to offer, it will never be 100% as good as Astro. Like joshhd mentioned, you will not have the option of changing audio, subtitles. Some IPTV like mine, has EPG but not for Astro based channels. So don't expect the Astro 'feel'.

3. International or non-local/non-astro Channels on IPTV might same in name with Astro but might come from a different feed. Like I said above, if your family needs the Astro channels, then maybe you should stick to it because it might be impossible to have everything they have on Astro with what you will get through IPTV. Advantage of IPTV is that you will get hundreds of channels from around the world directly 'Live' to you. But beware, if you have channels from around the world, it means they could be uncensored or unfiltered for sex, violence and all those things that you will not get on Astro. For example, the IPTV I have used to have movie channels that were on a direct feed from the US like all those Cinemax, HBO, Showtime channels. These channels are uncensored and unfiltered to suit their adult audience from 12 am to around 6 am US time. That will be 12-6pm our time. You do not want ur kids with the remote at this time of the day as they might just fall on some 'wrestling' action. When I say 'wrestling' action, I mean full on wrestling action like you get in the back room of a cetak rompak DVD shop. so if you have kids or even parents around, you should take careful measures with these channels if you were on IPTV. I dropped these channels from my subscription as I could rely on movie apps from the android box. Much better than being unable to control what is shown on the tv with ur wife always at home, parents coming around and a kid growing up.

very typical of Asstro

also you can't downgrade your package online, only can upgrade doh.gif
for downgrade you'll have to go to their service center DIY doh.gif

fark you Asstro, I'm going to cutting off the cartoon channels since I have netflix for my kids already, if not of my parent still watching those chinese shows & documentary, I would have cancel everything already!! doh.gif

Bye2 ITV Choice(CH735) bye.gif

Instead of getting ITV Choice HD on Astro platform.
Like ITV Choice HD on Starhub TV & Singtel TV.
Astro decide to discontinue this channel. sad.gif

Bye2 low viewership demand channel.
Look like we are getting more in-house channel soon.
Just atleast if Toonami HD & Boomerang HD available here.
Don't know why Toonami FB page video show MAL.
Is it MAL is here Malaysia? But Toonami not available here. doh.gif sad.gif

Toonami HD on Astro? Haha. Just like taking forever to launch here. laugh.gif
(WIKI)Toonami is a television channel that launched in Asia on 1 December 2012.
More than 5 years already. Still not available here. sad.gif

Even Boomerang HD is taken by TM HyppTV.
Kids channel is really not interested from Astro.

Kids channel is really high viewer hence Astro not interested to upgrade this channel to HD feed for better viewing experience.
Paling kurang Astro hanya upgrade Disney Channel & Disney Junior ke 16:9 SD je.
Really missed old day when Cartoon Network showing Dragon Ball Z Kai. sad.gif
Now already move to Toonami. Bila tengok iklan Toonami di Cartoon Network.
And the word "Please contact your local cable TV operator for Toonami availability".

My guess asstro wl not add any new channels of class ,maybe Rojak channels only! Their reason that its low viewership is bullshit they said the same when they removed BBCE and a few more! They dont want to pay high,they want cheap stuffs but more profits vmad.gif In my 20 yrs experience there was nothing exciting added on asstro,we are still far behind,except for compiled home made and made for malaysia content.There is NO variety in astro but its the most expensive. Jumped to iptv just to watch some channels i like before I die!

Toonami might come between both of our TV providers but I thought CN HD is a simulcast of the SD counterpart. Maybe that is why it have the MAL time? biggrin.gif

btw, Astro won't upgrade CN and Animax to HD right? Such an eyesore to watch both channels in subpar SD quality on Astro. They know parents will still subscribe to Kids Pack with or without HD channels so that parents can do chores when their children watch cartoon channels.

Astro don't care with Kids channel.
I also subscribe that pack. And don't even bother with the quality and new addition.
If want to watch new latest and updated cartoon or anime for kids. Just download from website in HD. Then put on USB and slot to TV.

Maybe Astro should make Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network to 16:9 SD.
Nickelodeon a bit ok. But CN really mad.gif have a bit small black bars up and down.
CN feed on Astro same like old Fox(CH710) back in 2014. smile.gif
Gambar a bit terpotong and not full screen.

Luckily I have umobile 3g coverage in my area. So I am using P98 for laptop use. For my phone I am using webe.

So you pay RM187.62/month with some 6% add brows.gif
U Mobile 3G@my home have coverage. But yeah i can only use at home la kalau macam tu.
For webe maybe i need to wait first because my house only have Celcom 3G which is webe 3G. Heard webe is in working to provide wide 4G coverage soon. doh.gif laugh.gif

Now postpaid+combo prepaid Xpax #NoKelentong FREE 10GB FB is big bonus for me.
Total data every month 40GB+10GB(FB)+5GB=55GB data
Not include FREE 10GB Basic Internet because slow speed just 64kbps

So total i pay RM150/month biggrin.gif
Maybe i should use U mobile p98 for unlimited youtube everyday.
But my work and kampung area no coverage. sad.gif

Stay with mobile for now. And yeah still waiting TM to add port for streamyx or using mobile broadband forever.

Too bad that TM claim that Unifi have 1.5 million port but only 900k subscribe to their plan. Maybe TM should focus on recent streamyx customer.

Or make something that TIME Broadband do.
Vote for how many user want that service at that place.
And very full demand will be grant with TIME service availability. biggrin.gif

Yes around that. I'm thinking to terminate my P98 and purchase digi broadband RM60 (15gb + 10gb free stream). But I will try prepaid sim first to see digi coverage in my area. most of the time, coverage map online is not that reliable. As for my Astro, currently subscribe to Family Xtra only. Need to save money where we can.

Astro don't care with Kids channel.
I also subscribe that pack. And don't even bother with the quality and new addition.
If want to watch new latest and updated cartoon or anime for kids. Just download from website in HD. Then put on USB and slot to TV.

Maybe Astro should make Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network to 16:9 SD.
Nickelodeon a bit ok. But CN really mad.gif have a bit small black bars up and down.
CN feed on Astro same like old Fox(CH710) back in 2014. smile.gif
Gambar a bit terpotong and not full screen.

KBS World SD 391 also have the same problem. tried to ask them to fix the aspect ratio but until now they still do that. maybe for kbs world the want people to upgrade HD service

Usually and by generally, whenever your set-top-box is being replaced by any reason, either by upgrade or replaced due to faulty including the damage caused by lightning strike, or whatsoever, Astro don't care and they will restart your contract as follows:

HD set-top-box: 12 months
PVR set-top-box: 24 months

btw, Astro won't upgrade CN and Animax to HD right? Such an eyesore to watch both channels in subpar SD quality on Astro. They know parents will still subscribe to Kids Pack with or without HD channels so that parents can do chores when their children watch cartoon channels.
*
Base on my point of view, well.... As usual, Astro's main priority is money.

Will the Astro customers (parents) be interested to subscribe to HD service if Astro provide cartoon channels in HD? Do you think Astro will earn more profit/revenue/money by doing so?

Astro's main focus is to make customer tend to spend more money on Astro by introducing new and attractive channels (any kind of channel) and also, the recent channel upgrade of Lifetime Channel (709) from SD to HD is also one of the tactic made by Astro to somehow force the existing loyal Lifetime Channel viewers to subscribe to HD service, or watch it on Astro on the Go as an alternative.

By mobile data, yes. By FTTH, nope...they already have 2Gbps internet. Which is good enough to ditch Astro if it's available here.

I think 90% of SG already have fibre service. And their prepaid & postpaid no good.
Singtel fibre offer minimum 500Mbps speed. Meanwhile here TIME 100Mbps.
Singtel maximum 10Gbps. TIME 500Mbps. Not so much different. 100Mbps is good enough nowaday. Even for me 5Mbps here like very rare if you stay in congest mobile area. laugh.gif

If 2Gbps speed FTTH here. Not most malaysia nationwide coverage will or can subscribe because limit. Right now good enough that TM Unifi already expand in Kelantan.

Kedah , Perlis and other long way. Maybe need to wait till 2030 years. doh.gif
If TM can cover all place in Malaysia. Maybe in major town and high population area will cover. Kota Bharu limit. Not all people will have.
By that time. Li-Fi seem impossible. New tech Li-Fi still not release official. Still in testing. Lifi light bulb really.
Light>unlimited speed that can carry hundred of million terabyte data in sec.

Also heard from other thread say Singapore internet will give you warning.
If usr something illegal. Can someone clarify. Can or not open Kissanime website.
Kisscartoon and kissasian. This website i use.
Cruchyroll have. But use SD Free subscription only. Also some exclusive anime not here. Saw ads crunchyroll have dbs. But check no. That why i think most content people get from illegal but just do it je brows.gif

5G maybe good start but cable internet. Problem always like TM will say port full.
Port have but not ready. Condo limit. Box TM in front of taman but not install yet. doh.gif

Seriously, there is no student will watch astro.. somemore need to pay 42+/monthly including these few education channels.. I suggest u rather spend slight higher amount go to tuition school learn something new.

What I realized that the astro cut the ads really unprofessional.. especially if you got watch Fox Movies Premium or HBO... The above small timing will announce remain how many minutes/seconds (If you have realize) will start to broadcast that movie..

But normally less than 2 or 3 minutes, astro will cut off those fox movies advertising, and broadcast in-house or local ads... These local ads will broadcast more than 3 or 4 minutes and then only start the movie show.. puke.gif

Yeah, the ads should be show any carton network / disney /Nickelodeon ads while you switch channels Animax. Each channels should be category...

Watch animax - ads either animax itself / disney ads / carton network ads... (Or introduce something kids food or kids event)

Watch fox movies - ads new movies launch in local cinema / hbo movies ads (Or introduce new luxury car / motobikes / any new products such as smartphones like professional one)

Watch chinese channels - ads should be all chinese... (But sometimes suddenly show India ads there.. shakehead.gif ) Totally don't know this astro staff doing... puke.gif

It's seems like astro don't know how to category the ads, macam copy n paste the ads video simply every channels... I think got brainless advertiser staff in astro... That why comes like this quality...

Oh, I get your point... icon_rolleyes.gif Some of the secondary/primary school got install astro.. (That why called astro in school~)

That's totally useless one..
I think they will purposely install astro, due to sometimes new customers/parents sit in the meeting room to watch channels temporary (to avoid boring during waiting time) while waiting for teachers/tutors come to meeting room for further discuss regarding your kid's thing.

Yeah, the ads should be show any carton network / disney /Nickelodeon ads while you switch channels Animax. Each channels should be category...

Watch animax - ads either animax itself / disney ads / carton network ads... (Or introduce something kids food or kids event)

Watch fox movies - ads new movies launch in local cinema / hbo movies ads (Or introduce new luxury car / motobikes / any new products such as smartphones like professional one)

Watch chinese channels - ads should be all chinese... (But sometimes suddenly show India ads there.. shakehead.gif ) Totally don't know this astro staff doing... puke.gif

It's seems like astro don't know how to category the ads, macam copy n paste the ads video simply every channels... I think got brainless advertiser staff in astro... That why comes like this quality...

Oh, I get your point... icon_rolleyes.gif  Some of the secondary/primary school got install astro.. (That why called astro in school~)

That's totally useless one..
I think they will purposely install astro, due to sometimes new customers/parents sit in the meeting room to watch channels temporary (to avoid boring during waiting time) while waiting for teachers/tutors come to meeting room for further discuss regarding your kid's thing.

Normal la... They want customers to know about this channel, hoping customers will pay more money to Astro by subscribing to the channel. This is very normal, and nothing to be surprised.

Usually and by generally, whenever your set-top-box is being replaced by any reason, either by upgrade or replaced due to faulty including the damage caused by lightning strike, or whatsoever, Astro don't care and they will restart your contract as follows:

HD set-top-box: 12 months
PVR set-top-box: 24 months

Just more to in-house and ala carte pack per channel.

If astro offer me like ANIPLUS HD at one ala carte pack.
And price is RM5.30 i will take it. But for now astro more to their rojak channel.
And i lost hope already with current and new channel to be upgrade to HD quality.

Previously I sent an email to Astro to complain to them about the stupid letterbox is being shown on quite an amount of SD channels. And this is the reply:
QUOTE
Dear Sir/ Madam, 

We are writing based on latest feedback received from the respective team.

Thank you for sharing your valuable comments with us.

Firstly, we would like to take this opportunity to apologize for the array of events which had led you feeling discontented with our services.

After reviewing your feedback, please be informed that  we have opted the current down conversion format for MTV (and other channels namely HBO, E!, DIVA and AXN) in SD 4:3 letter box as we are also looking into consideration to the customer who is still using certain variance of legacy box type whereby they might be facing issue where the channel will be black on the screen. At this juncture,  MTV channel is transmitting as per current down conversion format in SD 4:3.

Nevertheless, we will further review down conversion format and option should we move to 16:9 format for MTV and the rest of the remaining channels. Again, we would like to thank you for your valuable feedback.

Should you have any other feedback, do e-mail us at wecare@astro.com.my

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding whilst dealing with us. We look forward to your continuous support.

Thank you.


Looks that the reason are all for the sake of legacy Astro set-top-boxes. Haiz... shakehead.gif

Astro should force migration to full MPEG4 sd set top box.

In Indonesia most popular TV Operator migrate already. Also that some article you post that state astro stb use.
And more about 90% already use Byond stb. So better astro to move fully Byond stb and using MPEG4 compression for SD channel. biggrin.gif laugh.gif

There are no such thing as "MPEG4 SD set-top-box" as you mentioned for Astro. For Astro, if you want to watch SD channels in MPEG4, you need to use B.yond box cuz it has native support of MPEG4 video codec.

Actually, those legacy Astro set-top-box (manufactured by Nokia and Philips ones) are considered outdated, obsolete and old technology. It only supports DVB-S, MPEG2 video in SD resolution, and many more. Astro is already actually in transition to migrate to B.yond platform. However the migration/transition is done slowly. It is unsure why is it done slowly, and seems like Astro is taking their sweet time and for them it's like nothing to rush.

Once the migration is done, all Astro customers (including Njoi) will be using B.yond boxes only, and the ones that still using legacy set-top-boxes will be discontinued by Astro and viewers will not able to watch any channels. That time, you can expect SD channels to utilise MPEG4 video codec with AAC audio codec.

All Indonesia pay TV operators using MPEG4 codec.

I don't really think is "cannot support" 16:9 la... I think is software bug/glitch that cause the issue, or it may be hardware related, not sure. But since Astro already discontinued support on legacy Astro set-top-boxes, so it is unlikely that they will provide firmware update to fix that issue. Since few years ago, whenever the customers using legacy Astro STB is faulty or having any issues, Astro will straight away replace to B.yond box, not take the set-top-box to repair or whatsoever. Astro has several models of legacy Astro set-top-boxes, it can be only certain models are affected only, examples like first generation ones, second generation ones, not sure manufactured by Nokia or Philips, I have no clue about it.

I replied to Astro and ask them which model of legacy Astro set-top-box(es) are affected by the black screen issue if the channel is 16:9. Hope I will get a reply soon.

If astro force those old existing customers (who use existing legacy set up box) replace to new astro beyond decoder, sure some of customers sure terminate one.

Coz the new decoder must attached with smart card. Meaning that if you use the particular smart card to another decoder device, it won't work at all.

Astro is kinda noob and no proper system especially for njoi plan. I even email to astro.. If the njoi decoder faulty in the future, customers cannot purchase the replacement of new decoder. In fact, astro request us to subscribe purely new njoi package.

It kinda duplicate new njoi account again n again until around 3 or 4 njoi plan. Don't you think feel lebih?

I was using an even older STB and just upgraded to Byond a week ago with HD services. A new STB which is the smallest Astro STB I have seen was installed. Unfortunately, I have not been able to watch any HD channels since the installation. The channel guide will flash on screen briefly and the TV will stop receiving any signal.

I have logged in service call and Astro has not responded. Yesterday, I walked in to Astro's service centre in MV and was told that the new STB has software issues with smart TVs. HD channels cannot be viewed with smart TVs and I was told to revert to an RCA connection! Totally defeats the purpose of subscribing to HD services.

Does anyone else have this experience and do anyone have any solution?

Seems like, that confirms asttro with outdated MPEG2 video and box without any useful features is perfect for CRT tvs and its not compatible with latest tvs! Maybe your latest tv had the latest HDMI output 2.0 and not 1.4,my 4K media player HDMI 2.0 will not play on all my Tvs which are still 1.4 hmm.gif

Does anyone else have this experience and do anyone have any solution?

I was just wondering... did they change your satellite dish from the old white to black?

They never change when I got my new STB

actually black dish diameter is slightly bigger than white dish. so it can improve the signal reception. i think is more good to change to new dish.

I was using an even older STB and just upgraded to Byond a week ago with HD services. A new STB which is the smallest Astro STB I have seen was installed.

That sounds ridiculous to me. I think the staff at Astro Centre Mid Valley don't know those technical stuff.
You need to know that not every words said by customer service can be trusted, and Astro is not an exception.
Sometimes the staff don't know, so they tend to assume something else rather than the truth.

Well, you need to know that there are people that, want to get a job/work as technical department but knowledge about technical stuff is low. Not everyone are interested in technology stuff, that's why.

Ignore whatever they told you about reverting to RCA connection.

Have you tried rebooting your B.yond box? Is your HDMI cable is directly connected from B.yond box to your TV? Tried other HDMI input source on your TV? Tried other HDMI cable?

If still persists, explain in detail on what you experience when you tune to HD channels (or only specific HD channels)?

1) What error message appears on your TV when you tune to HD channel? Is it mention something like "Copy Protection Failed" and "HDCP"?

2) Are you able to hear any sound when tune to HD channel?

3) Or, does it show the "Services Currently Not Available" message as if you can't watch Astro during heavy raining?

If you're not sure, you can attach a picture here if possible.

Seems like, that confirms asttro with outdated MPEG2 video and box without any useful features is perfect for CRT tvs and its not compatible with latest tvs! Maybe your latest tv had the latest HDMI output 2.0 and not 1.4,my 4K media player HDMI 2.0 will not play on all my Tvs which are still 1.4 hmm.gif
*
For your info, currently Astro is still using MPEG2 video codec for SD channels is all for the sake of the compatibility of legacy Astro set-top-boxes (non-B.yond boxes).

If Astro migrates to MPEG4 for SD channels, then it also means every Astro customers can only use B.yond box from then, and the legacy Astro set-top-boxes (well known for its blue colour UI) can no longer be used.

Usually, Astro installer should change the satellite dish when they upgrade customer's set-top-box to B.yond. If they don't, then it is more likely that they are lazy to do so.

As for the RG6 cable (satellite cable), the installer usually won't change it unless if the condition of the cable is not so good or you request/tell them to do so. RG6 cable can last quite long and won't easily get damaged unless it is damaged by user.

Older Astro satellite dish (silver) are 55cm (capital letter "ASTRO" logo) and 60cm (lower case "astro" logo). Black B.yond dish is 65cm. Bigger satellite dish size, for sure the better reception it is.

My HDMI is connected directly to my smart TV (Philips). I have rebooted the B.yond box, tried other HDMI ports, different cables (including older HDMI cables that don’t support ARC – 1.1?) and the results are the same.

There is no sound or error message. The channel guide will flash for a moment and the screen will go blank. Then, my smart TV will display “No signal” but this is a message from the smart TV and not from the B.yond STB. It is the same message if I switch to another HDMI port that has nothing connected to it, so it means the B.yond STB has suddenly stopped both audio and video feeds into the HDMI port after the brief flash of the channel guide.

Non-HD channels work perfectly normal. This problem only occurs when I change to HD channels. And when I change back to non-HD channels, the signal comes back and everything works as it should.

Reverting to RCA connection is absolutely rubbish because I will go back to SD. If I use HDMI, I will get at least 720p. However, out of curiosity, I tried running on RCA yesterday and changed to HD channels. Surprises, surprises, I can watch HD channels as normal using RCA connections. But at the SD resolutions…..

So, there may be some truth to what the staff at MV Astro Centre said - he/she did appear to have checked for their internal memos before telling me so. He/She also said this is a known problem with the new generation of STBs and that Samsung smart TVs can resolve the conflict by disabling the MHL feature – unfortunately, I can’t find this on my Philips smart TV to disable (I did try various Smartlink settings)

What we can expect from astro monopoly is still going and with no competition astro won't provide you more new good HD channel and give free preview when holiday.

Even if their exclusive monopoly expire. I don't think terus 1 Mac 2017 ada company baru nak apply jadi syarikat pay tv. doh.gif

Even the new company have best channel maybe diorang takkan provide best channel like AXN HD, FOX HD, ONE HD yang masih ada exclusive contract dengan Astro. sad.gif

Looks that you are experiencing HDCP issue. Perhaps can you request Astro to replace to a new B.yond HD box for you?
You file a case report to Astro regarding this issue, tell them you want a set-top-box replacement.

Better be quick. Because since you are already on your 12 months contract period, you should get a replacement as soon as possible because whenever your set-top-box is being replaced, your 12 months contract will be restart.

Astro smart card are paired with the B.yond box, and cannot be interchangeable except legacy Astro boxes.

Yes you can bring set-top-box back to your hometown and just Plug N Play. However you will face technical issues especially when you are using PVR box but your hometown's Astro cabling installation is HD box, meaning only 1 satellite cable is used. In this case, the cheapest temporary solution in this situation will be the same as high rise building that has only 1 Astro port on the wall socket, and that is using RG6 splitter to split into 2 cables to be connected to your PVR box. However you need to bear in mind that you will experience conflict when watching/changing/recording between SD/HD together (In technical: Changing channels between satellites of Measat 3/3b with Measat 3a). You will also need to look at your programme bookings (Series Link) as well, as your SD/HD programmes will be recorded in the background too.

Best solution? Make sure your hometown's Astro cabling installation has 2 satellite RG6 cables so that no issues when you bring your PVR box back.

Or, another possible issue is you are using HD box but your hometown is using PVR that uses SatCR instead of using the normal Universal LNB. That one no big deal. Go to Satellite Settings and change the Input Type from "Universal" to "SatCR". This also applies to both HD and PVR boxes. (Tip: Besides PVR box, HD box can also use SatCR)

What to do this boring holiday with astro.
All channel just repeat back and make some movie marathon.

All channel include international now showing back all good show back to back this lunar new year doh.gif biggrin.gif
But astro not give free preview to watch all good channel.
Atleast bagi seminggu macam starhub singapore pun dah cukup. sad.gif

Masa menang anugerah putra brand awards haritu siap bagi seminggu boleh pulak mad.gif laugh.gif

What we can expect from astro monopoly is still going and with no competition astro won't provide you more new good HD channel and give free preview when holiday.

Even if their exclusive monopoly expire. I don't think terus 1 Mac 2017 ada company baru nak apply jadi syarikat pay tv. doh.gif

Even the new company have best channel maybe diorang takkan provide best channel like AXN HD, FOX HD, ONE HD yang masih ada exclusive contract dengan Astro. sad.gif

This CNY njoi got free some channels..
You can see this when you access your astro portal under your account.

But I have semi problem for njoi decoder, it is dmt4 decoder. Sometimes it hang either unable display the video but have sound or decoder does not display channel info.

Is this consider a problem for the decoder?

How many ch that have exclusive contract with astro?. for sure for tvN there is no exclusive contract. i just want there is new company to make prepaid based pay tv like njoi. or free to view service like IPM from thailand.

There are quite an amount of channels that is exclusive by Astro, especially HBO, and many Fox Networks Group channels (previously known as Fox International Channels, or FIC)...

Exclusive DTH license for Astro will end on 28 Feb 2017. After that you can expect new DTH to be introduced. Is there any company that wants to offer new DTH services? As of now, I can say is no. But that doesn't means in future it won't have though.

My guess not a single new DTH player will walk in as the exsisting ones are still unable to penetrate households simply cos its expensive! Just another big donation to MMC and asstro will get another extension, reason no other player! Even if the exclusivity expires.which other player can afford the costs?TM carries some exclusive channels on astro after Feb,2017so what?Msians hv been bored to death since 1995 now TM??????????? With so many FREE content around its quite doubtful DTH Tv which is too expensive will be a priority. So many players are holding the licence but only 2 cronies of bn/umnu are operating!

Yeah grumble.gif
If really expire and renew. What to do sad.gif
Another 10 years worth of bosan and repeat in-house channel.

Well. If really expire and Astro don't want to extend their exclusive monopoly till 2022. Some hope maybe from 2017-2022 other rich company can apply for it. innocent.gif

Hopefully. But again best new channel will not be carry on new company. doh.gif
The channel exclusive with Astro bangwall.gif

Really hope new company will apply. I don't want next 10 years worth of waste just to see my favourite channel such as Animax HD, Cartoon Network HD, Toonami HD and others will not be upgrade/launch in HD quality on Astro platform shakehead.gif
I was like already more than 5-6 years and this channel is still not available on Astro bangwall.gif

And yeah more people really want FOX SPORTS 2 HD & 3 HD. After 2-3 years end up on HyppTV first laugh.gif
New satelite Measat 3b but Astro say that their have 18 transponder rent from Measat.
Tapi takkan tak boleh lancarkan lagi. Dah dekat 3 tahun dah Measat 3b tu beroperasi takkan tak boleh bagi channel HD yang baru sad.gif

All channel i want to be in HD still have exclusive contract with Astro laugh.gif

Just wonder why Astro not make all On Demand(OD) show in native 16:9 SD doh.gif
Atleast OD pic is way more better than Astro channel.
I think astro use MPEG4 for all SD & HD content on OD FREE & PLUS

But still their charge RM15/month for OD PLUS!!
When Animax On Demand first launch on astro.
I think the price only RM12/month sad.gif

Because Astro Hua Hee Dai is still airing a few Hokkien dramas, which it starts airing since many years ago and until now the drama still haven't finish, that's why the drama is still in SD 4:3 quality.

This one is not Astro's fault la... Cuz they have to air finish the hundreds to thousands episodes of drama first. Of course, the newer ones are in HD quality.

Have you try restart your Astro box? Check your connection between LAN cable and the router.

That means the channels on astro can be carried by other operators too and new players may come in . Anyway that will not make much difference cos astro has several exclusive JV agreements with some channels ! The nation has been bored with those same channels since 1995,so who cares if other players carry the same! In other words there is nothing new which is going to happen with Ringgit thrashing to new lows,there wont be new players hmm.gif With Elections soon rumours all it takes is a big donation from asstro to bn/umnu and get another 10 yrs! biggrin.gif

Today I just by pass the road and saw the Astro Miri here.
I just walk in to pay the astro bill and saw the terminal machine all "temporary down". shakehead.gif

Go to counter to make payment and the astro staff need to "verify" the IC owner 1st before make a payment.
Do you all come across for this to verify? unsure.gif

I just feel curious customers have money to pay your bill, but why need IC to verify before make payment?
Kinda stupid it's seems like only owner can arrange the payment.

Hmm... First time hear about requiring IC for verification to pay bills. Why not pay online or something? Or consider sign up for auto debit so that you don't have to hassle to pay Astro bills on time... It's very troublesome if you did not pay the bills by the due date, your Astro account is being suspended and might have to pay RM20 for reconnection fee.

You're right, I can pay it online.
However, I just by-pass the highway and saw astro branch not very far at there. So I just pusing inside the shoplot and pay the bill sekali.

So back home I not need to log-in astro portal (stupid slow portal) to pay the bill.
I won't be sign up auto debit for this monopoly company and not believe their bill system.
So normally I pay accurate amount to them.

You're already using hybrid mode cuz since u can switch from IP mode to Satellite.

But I don't understand how IP mode can made HD channels not watchable....

You go home>Settings>STB Diagnostics
Look the Operation mode, is it "DTH" or "IP"?
DTH means satellite

What error message appears on your screen? Is it Services currently not available (SCNA) or Network currently not available (NCNA) or Services currently not available (H-SCNA)? Check carefully the error code like SCNA, NCNA or H-SCNA when tuning to the channels that you can't watch.

Hmm.. Looks that you need to contact Astro IPTV department and file a complaint about this. You tried restart your router?

When you're on HD channel and you experience that pixelation, is the "Set Top Box Operating Mode" at home>Settings>STB Diagnostics, is it in DTH or IP? At least you know which mode is causing the pixelation issue.

Q1 in February 2017 already no new addition to Astro.
rolleyes.gif

Just some hype with OD show.
And no new HD channel add to Astro platform.

Look like some price hike incoming soon. drool.gif yawn.gif
doh.gif laugh.gif

I hope Astro not forget other customer who cannot access OD library entertainment.
No WarnerTV HD to show Arrow & latest Warner and DC show.
But put on OD service. doh.gif

For now some DC content on free local TV3 channel. sad.gif

Haha.
But again still have some people use astro od.
Even od content not so attractive.

The part i don't like with OD is quality.
Astro use 1080i for standard HD content.
Not forget astro use 8mbps rate with interlaced show.

Don't waste your time use astro 1080i crappy black line.
When fast moving in some show. It really frust me.
And by the time with astro first show.
Astro only have 3 HD channel to broadcast their Pay Per View show.

If you want more in HD. You need to download from On Demand.

Hello guys, I just wondering that is there any difference between SatCR and normal LNB?

My previous house was using dual LNB and currently I am using single cable satCR.. I noticed there there is a slightly 2 to 3 seconds delay when I switching channel.. may I know what is the problem there?

SatCR allows PVR box to work with using only 1 cable. No need to lay another cable for PVR especially for those who using concealed cabling.

In technical: SatCR allows up to 2 PVR boxes (or 4 HD boxes) to work with a single cable. With SatCR, you don't need to have separate cables for separate inputs.

Me myself also using SatCR and I have no issues with 2-3 secs delay as you mention. The channel opens in 1 second.

Have you tried to troubleshoot, such as rebooting your STB or something?

SatCR allows PVR box to work with using only 1 cable. No need to lay another cable for PVR especially for those who using concealed cabling.

In technical: SatCR allows up to 2 PVR boxes (or 4 HD boxes) to work with a single cable. With SatCR, you don't need to have separate cables for separate inputs.

Me myself also using SatCR and I have no issues with 2-3 secs delay as you mention. The channel opens in 1 second.

Have you tried to troubleshoot, such as rebooting your STB or something?
*
Thanks for your explanation and helping bro..

I had tried to rebooting, factory reset my PVR decoder and tried to swap the cable and yet the problem still occur..

I would try to post up a video as soon as possible to see whether the delay is normal for satCR. I felt like when using LnB, the channel switching is faster..

Is it any problem with the installer? Because I mentioned the problem to the installer and he seemed to be avoid it and run away without picking up my call and reply my message anymore..

If problem still occur, may I know what options I should get at the moment? For clarification, I'm using the conceal cable that came with the house because I don't want to hack one more hole to the house and laying the cable over the wall.

Once again thank you and appreciate your helping bro smile.gif

The Streaming quality is 144P only?

Need to confirm first which package the channel will be available. Better you ask customer service or PM in Facebook page. smile.gif

For Aniplus On Demand in AOTG app stream quality. I think depend on your internet speed. If sometime below 500Kbps-1Mbps quality in 240p-360p. Even worse can be 144p. I manage to get speed up to 1.5Mbps-2Mbps & quality i get is 360-480p.
I believe that HD content on AOTG is not even atleast in 720p quality. Max you can get is 480p video quality. biggrin.gif laugh.gif

Looks like Comedy Central, K-PLUS and ANIPLUS seems to be the next channels lineup to be introduced soon. But don't be so happy and celebrate about it yet. Customers may get an "unhappy welcome gift" when they announce that customers need to pay extra to watch those newly added channels, which I think you should not be surprise about this.

I have found out more about K-Plus at their official website, it appears that all the Korean shows aired are all recycled, some are few months old or even few years after Korea TV broadcast. So in conclusion, the content on K-Plus channel is not fresh and not as new as what KBS World, One HD, Oh!K and tvN, so I doubt will K Plus be included in Korean Pack.

Seems that kplus mainly focus jtbc shows because some drama like Solomon perjury aired this channel one day after korean broadcast.
Anime in HD: so you can watch kplus because you subscribed korean pack. So most possibly kplus might go korean pack.

I checked on Astro on the Go...

I can't watch K Plus either, and I did not subscribe to Korean Pack, perhaps that is the reason. Looks that K Plus channel will be on Korean Pack...

Btw I can watch Comedy Central though...
The Comedy Central on AOTG has delayed 1 hour from original feed (must be because of censorship related), so we got to follow the "MAL" time instead of SG/HK time.

Just searching for K-plus Facebook, despite only launch at astro on the go, the program showtime now add (MY/PH) feed alongside (ID) feed.
And before that, K-plus facebook post language mostly in Bahasa Indonesia and sometimes English.

It is likely impossible that they won't delay 3-5 mins if they introduce Aniplus on TV platform, considering our Malaysia's censorship board.

My instinct tells me that this is just temporary. I think Astro is doing something before they provide the channel in TV platform.. That's why they offer those channels on AOTG first. But what's the reason, I'm not sure.

It is the same as HITS channel... At first it was made available only on AOTG... Later it was made available on TV platform.

So, be patient la..

Yeah. With current economy. Who want to waste their money just to compete with Astro. For now only HyppTV we see can. But again. Is Measat want to give HyppTV to operate using satellite tv. Need to rent transponder somemore. doh.gif

I don't see any good channel on HyppTV. For now i only interested with WarnerTV HD, BBC Lifestyle HD, & Boomerang HD for kids. It good if Astro make joint venture with TM. Astro give some EPL match. And HyppTV give some good channel for Astro.
Look like this JV is just in the end don't give customer more choice. Abnxcess already close from pay tv(using cable like Starhub). Who want to join? laugh.gif

Don't forget that HyppTV also have all FOX SPORTS 1,2,3 & NEWS in HD.
Better make Fox Sports Combo at RM10. And maybe i take it. drool.gif rclxm9.gif

It is likely impossible that they won't delay 3-5 mins if they introduce Aniplus on TV platform, considering our Malaysia's censorship board.

possible that mobile platform like AOTG is in loophole for censorship board? Bcoz iflix and netflix also not censored?

Of course by right, the boxes are able to receive FTA channels even from other satellites but most pay TV providers around the world do modify their own software of their boxes, so that only their own paid channels to be able to watch by the viewer.

Yes of course you can. But free upgrade, I don't think so. Perhaps need to pay some installation fee.

the subscriber without HD service will loss many ch if that really happen. i guess they will stay simulcast the SD channel for sattlelite but they will force subscriber to upgrade byond. Maybe all SD channel will be only availble in Mpeg4 in the future.

PVR requires 2 satellite cables (RG6 cable) to be connected to your dish, so your LNB needs to be changed to the one that can connect 2 cables. Normal LNB only can connect 1 cable.

If you have concealed cabling and wiring second cable is not convenient for you, you may opt for SatCR where you can use your existing 1 cable for your PVR to work (it function just like combining 2 cables into 1). However, SatCR costs RM53.

You can still continue using your satellite dish.

Astro can only fully migrate to MPEG4 for SD channels once they really plan to discontinue use of legacy Astro boxes, so all customers that still using legacy Astro boxes must get their STB replaced to at least a B.yond HD box if they wish to continue watching Astro. Bear in mind that upgrading STB to B.yond HD box does not mean you must pay extra every month by subscribing to HD. Of course, the customer service will try their best to convince you to subscribe HD (because if you agree to do so, they will get commission) by saying all sort of stuff such as "why upgrade to B.yond box but don't want HD?". So if you subscribe to HD, Astro will ultimately earn more money.

So basically, you don't need to think/feel that replacing your legacy Astro box to new B.yond box is a bad thing, UNLESS:

i) You plan to cancel Astro soon because upon upgraded to B.yond HD box, you will get 12 mths contract. Or 24 mths for PVR box.

ii) Not willing to pay for installation fee, range from RM50 to RM150, depending on promotions and your subscription. Sometimes can be free too.

iii) You plan to do something "not so legal" such as card sharing or take your Astro smart card and insert to someone else's Astro box because you subscribe more channels than him/her. brows.gif

iv) You prefer to use old technology stuff.


I believe that one day it will happen where HD service will be included as part of Astro subscription (in other words, free/no additional charges). It is just a matter of when.

Most of pay TVs around the world already included HD service (customer no need to pay extra for it). Same goes to Hypp TV and also the ABNxcess (no longer in service).

Astro still put HD service as if it is a premium service that customers would need to pay extra for it. Why? Well... Astro has no competitors, they can do anything they like to make sure they keep gain profit, APRU keep rising, etc.

It is RM26.50/month (incl. GST) for both HD+PVR service. Since Aug 2016, HD service also included PVR service.

Force migrate to MPEG4 for SD channels will result ALL Astro customers using legacy Astro boxes to force migrate to B.yond box as well, because legacy Astro boxes is an old tech that does not support MPEG4.

Indonesia pay TV market is different because they have too many competitors already.
