Astro announced their 4K set top box yesterday. Coming later this year.

Some press images reveal the user interface, seems like it runs Astro Go. Very similar interface. Possibly an Android-running box?

Now I can confirm that if you need devices that can stream Netflix in HD@4K and Astrogo smoothly at the same time, these are the devices that you should be looking for:

1. Nvidia Shield 2017/2019
2. Amazon Fire TV Cube 2019 2nd generation

Just got my aftv cube yesterday.. straight away test AOTG.. and run like butter.. ordered from Amazon, use buyandship as forwarder. Total cost is RM398+54 (forwarder charge).  Cube is now on sales for USD89.99. Normal price is USD119.99. U save around USD30 or roughly RM120. Really worth the money if u can't afford nvidia shield.

You do know there's Astro spy lurking here right? In no time they'll do something to throttle these devices... Good luck.

yeah right.. throttle these devices.. i'm not sure how long u have been using astrogo but they never throttle the devices.. in fact, since astrogo version 8 is very simple.. ur device must not be rooted.. the rules stay until version 2.xxx.x the latest version.. both devices are not rooted from factory since both are google/amazon certified.. no hack to devices being done just straight away can use.. how do astro want to implement? google safety net check? even amazon fire tv cube does not have google play services.. LOL..

Mi Box was working just fine before Assteruk start being a d*ck and made HD channels jitter and unplayable on the box. Mind you this was made way before the recent major UI overhaul update (newer interface and navigation). So they highly probably made something within the app's codings to targeted devices. Since Nvidia Shield and Amazon devices are not officially sold in Malaysia, they probably "missed or ignore" those said devices, for now. Hence my use of word " throttle". If you have basic programming knowledge, you'll know this. This also happens for Disney+ app where users on supported country can install the app on Nvidia Shield devices but couldnt manage to do so on Mi Box, even when sideloading the APK.

Assteruk's main objective/plan now is to stop any TV boxes from running the mobile version of Astro Go. Since they decided to stop Astro services on any Smart TVs (LG's WebOS-running TVs can no longer run Astro GO app om their TVs as Assteruk already decommissioned the app on that OS a few months ago) in order to promote their newly-launched Astro Ultra Box. It's all business and capitalism at its absolute peak. Their devs could just do some extra alterations on the app's codings and boom...even a powerful device like Nvidia Shield can jitter and struggle running Astro GO.

Again, all I can say is good luck. There are eyes and ears all around this forum. You may think you're helping other users when instead you made Assteruk spies' work just a lot easier.

It's people like you that made company like AssTeruk practice such restrictive and cautious policy.

Why can't you guys just apply the beta program and wait for confirmation from them, like any normal user would?

Sikit2 mau share, sikit2 mau share smh...

With muse version 1.2, I am now able to watch catch-up via Astro go app on my Android TV. Previously unable to watch anything (video comes up blank, only audio).

Live TV still doesn't work (scrambled vid)

Thanks, at least something.  :thumbsup:

We already knew this and don't want to know if it's working for you. Keep it to yourself.

Subscribed to Astro Multiroom Smart TV for my Xiaomi Mi Box (non-S) out of curiosity + the promotional price is tempting. Works well so far. APK is retrieved from APKMirror.com. All the HD channels are available. Sports look great. Just missing 4K but that's fine for my 2nd TV. Price is RM14.99/mth for the first 3 months then it goes back to RM29.99/mth. That's when I'll decide if it worth to continue subscribing. Good that it has no contract jail and termination fee. Opt out anytime as you wish.

That RM14.99 promo price lasts for 3 months only? Can share a screenshot on where does it indicate that the promo lasts for 3 months only?
