Have used it over weekends almost whole day without issues so far. My Minix U9H also works with Astro Go, but the video has black bars at sides and bottom. When Astro Go starts in the Minix, get almost full screen, when click on video and starts playing, the black bars appear. Tried all settings, no change even with latest app sideloaded.

By the way, I have an Astro subscription at my parents' house which I pay for and using android tv box to get same channels at my house without having to get another subscription.

Cheers!

do u get them for all channels or just some?

the black bars are there for SD shows; HD channels should be full.

this has been there for a long time, incl old versions.


* i do not if there is any diff for astro go between HD (beyond) and non-HD subscriptions.

All channels, HD and SD, have this black bars left, right and bottom on my Minix. It's like the video shrunk to a smaller size. On TX6, HD is full screen, only SD has black bars at left and right, but not bottom.

Cheers!

ok, i follow.

not sure what else u can tinker with but at least u have tx6 that works ok.

bolded part... check carefully... sometimes u get black bars only at sides, sometimes both sides and top/bottom, depends on the video...?

my guess is this app cannot or not designed to cater both HD and SD aspect ratio technicalities... i'm not qualified to explain... laugh.gif

My MINIX NEO U9-H prompted me to update newer version of AstroGo but the play store says app not compatible with my device anymore.
Is yours the same? Any issues with AstroGo app?

Just got my shield today.. tested new aotg.. live hd channels work like a charm.. so please buy shield if you want to enjoy netflix hd@4k and new aotg at the same time..

for all who are still using the 8.2.6, you must install apkpure.. google or youtube if u dont know how.. then from within apkpure app itself, you can update your aotg..

good luck guys..

Sure can try but if successful, u get SD quality, no good.

Better wait a bit... perhaps some modified versions will emerge soon.

As it is, there are still a no. of boxes that can do:

.. use official app version.
.. full screen, not reduced, correct aspect ratios.
.. no judders with live hd channels.
.. min or no video or audio lag.

When the dust settles, things get clearer, can do a new list of boxes that work fine for this app.

You can sideload the apk and then install over the current app. The old and new AstroGo has same package name and same signer, so install over should be no issue.

For SD, the black bars are always left and right. The aspect ratio is incorrect; video is squashed. The only way round is to use the TV control to change from Full to Wide Zoom. The aspect ratio is corrected but need to change again when watching HD, which is bothersome. So just watch HD channels lah.

Cheers!

From what I read, the person also complains about HD ( eg Channel 308 ) having a bit of side and bottom black bars, and happen to his minix box but tx6 is ok.

Bad news for you, hypptvbox isn't compatible with new AstroGo. The box is too old for the liking of AstroGo.

Get another box. sweat.gif

I’ve been using hypptvbox all this while to watch astro go. Only way to install is to sideload the apk and install it. But in this case, the new installed version crashed (closed straight away after opened).

I wonder how to fix this.....
