Has anyone seen Astro's latest sneaky little dumb move to limit device switch out to one device per calendar month? Meaning you're only allowed to log in to Astro OTG from two devices. After that you'll have to wait for the next month to log out.

I can't understand the thinking behind this! What are we living in 1982? What if i've logged in from my laptops? Does it mean i'll have to carry my laptops everywhere for one month just so I can watch Astro On The Go. Utterly backward and despicable move by Astro.

Imagine if this is the case with Netflix?

It isn't free. I mean we're paying for it with our package monthly. And if Astro On The Go is advertised as part of the feature then there's no way it constitutes as a free service.

Not just that. Once you've logged in with two devices (laptop and mobile), you can't login from a different device (tablet) until the next month.

This is what monopoly smells like.

You sound dumb saying that. Reason has to do with broadcast rights. Its like you can't use Netflix US outside America unless you are in VPN.

Use wifi logic only make it silly.
