QUOTE(joshhd @ Nov 6 2020, 09:28 PM) Use computer/laptop to open Astro Go on browser, then connect HDMI cable to TV. Use keyboard and mouse to navigate around. really frustrating that Astro didnt have simple windows 10 app in 2020. Why force us to use browser.No more headaches, thinking which TV box is the best for it.   |

QUOTE(joshhd @ Nov 30 2021, 09:29 AM) Mhmm... Instead of able to stream up to 4 concurrent devices, now it is down to 2 concurrent devices. people who paid Astro dont necessary watch astro Go all the time (my acc for example lol), if can register many devices I guess can assume 1 acc let many to view, since some family/friends will figure out more than 2 concurrent views is rare among them, so it works. Astro dislike that lolAlso, instead of almost unlimited logins of devices like previously, now it is just maximum 4 registered devices. If a 5th device tries to login into that account, it'll prompt you to remove either one of the device. Not only that. Astro Go now has un-skippable ads upon playing selected content, similar like YouTube nowadays. Astro Go is becoming like a "freemium" service. Astro trying to save costs on CDN streaming servers bandwidth, I guess? Or they don't want people to share the account with other friends and family?  If Astro wanna save bandwidth, may be they should have encode into H265 for HD content, thats nearly half the bandwidth there.
