Hi all,

Am looking for a good android box, that can play Astro Go, and has a built in DVB-T2. Also can play those streaming videos from other apps.

No, i'm not going to subcribe to IPTV cos seriously unstable and buffering.

Right now i using Himedia Q10pro but need another DVBTV and Astro Decoder to get all this. Too many gadgets already. Astro Go doesnt work anymore with my Himedia Q10pro.

Thanks for any recommendation.

Astro Go is working very well on my Himedia Q10pro.

as for that + DVBT2... tough... even if u find one, it will be much more costly than 2 devices.

Hi sifus,
I'm currently using minix u9-h to stream astro go. My issue is the stream is jittery, a lot of frame skipping and occasional a few seconds black screen.

I've updated the apps to latest version using aptoid, but problem still persist. However there's no issue when using netflix and unifi playtv.

Do you have any advise about this astro go issue?

does it happen to all channels or only live HD ones?
if yes, it is suffering the same problem as with most AndroidTV os devices.
but yr box is regular android, not ATV...

someone recently report a diff problem with the same box.

try this current apk if it is not what u hv:
https://apkpure.com/astro-go/com.astro.astro

Talking about frame skipping, erm, not sure if this can reduce the issue a little.
On your Android TV box's Display settings, change to 50Hz refresh rate instead of the usual default 60Hz.

Example if now is 1080p 60Hz, change it to 1080p 50Hz, and see whether it improves or eliminate the frame skipping issue or not...

Excuse me? Spam?

Thanks joshhd and AVFAN. I'll try the solutions later

I am using T95Z Android Box for my Astro Go from the day they launch beta until now and no issues.

Previously, under the "old" Astro Go, the app didn't work but now it works.

quite true the current version is overall less problematic than the old one, works on most unrooted boxes.

it is easier on windows as well.

only known disbenefit is it does not work well on many ATV devices incl smart tv's, unlike old one.

The new Astro Go works with VPN now to a Malaysian server. Previously, the old Astro Go doesn't work with VPN.

Guys, seek your help here ;-) On NVIDIA Shield TV while watching AOTG any programs, like after 10mins - I'm getting kick out or jumps back to main screen. Anyone has this issue and solution for it.

Thanks and appreciate for your help.

cheers!

Seems this is quite common, reported by others too.

Try clearing cache every time before u load astrogo.

Sounds like AOTG does have a problem with the graphic device driver.

Folks, on Nvidia Shield thus it still require mouse input to operate astro go?

If still require, what will be the recommended air mouse? Thanks

astrogo is built to work on touchscreen handheld devices.

regular android or atv, a mouse is needed to use on any box in order to navigate fully.

I using Nvidia Shield Pro now. The astrogo work fine with air mouse eg. minix A3 to navigate on some area like exit close

Thanks for recommendation! 😊

Thus all buttons works as per intended?
E.g home, recent, etc
