current new official astrogo app:
https://www.apkmonk.com/download-app/com.as...2019-07-17.apk/

works fine on unrooted tx3 mini, tx5max.

this new app offers more channels than old v8.2.6.

check channels 3xx... many appear there but not i nold app...

I thought channels depends on the subscription package?

If you intend to watch football (EPL), invest in buying VPN.. expressvpn is among the best.. second, go n find seller of NBC gold (football account).. or SlingTV (with sport).. cheaper alternative is Hotstar.. need India VPN..

Update:
AOTG Mod still working fine but,
I realize one thing about the App. It was design for swipe capable devices i.e. tablet, smartphones. Which brings me to use an Air Mouse.
Currently for those using TX3 or A95x, any experience or tips on the Air Mouse?

I'm currently using an old Bluetooth keyboard with touch pad, but it isn't really responsive with the TVBox. Not sensitive at all.

why need to use astro go mod for tx3?

Astro still quit by itself sometimes after watching for few hours. Makes me feel like wanna buy a new box, but I'm wondering is it the app issue or box. Coz last time with old astro app it never happen

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

Besides the above 2, are there any other midrange box that can run aotg? Excluding tx3 model

I can think of ugoos am6 or am6pro.

These have root closing options, should work with astrogo.

But i hv not used, cannot b sure.

Other than that, u go with more costly boxes or outdated boxes or boxes that require modified apps.

But why u want midrange.... rather than low end or high end...? What other things u wanna do with it?

Honestly, that is the problem now... midrange fellas geting killed by mass low end while high cost ones survive on unique specialties required by some.
*
high end too expensive. low end like tx3 mini does not seem stable, right now I get a lot of crashes on the box, eg: "tv launcher isn't responding", astro go app will suddenly quit and brings me back to home screen, HBO go suddenly go black screen. sigh

Does no one else get crash while watching aotg on their box? I watch for 2 hours it crashes 2 times. I'm thinking of getting a new box but I don't know if the app itself is bad, or the box software it's bad. So frustrating

Yup... As more and better HW pops up.. Needs grow.. I remember when camrips and TS files were sufficient for me.. Then later Yify came onboard and basically cornered the market with bluray rips at smaller sizes. Back then, i believe I was using a Noontec box.. Later Minix Neo X7, then up and up.. Now, it's either full 1-1 Bluray 1080p minimum.. Ideally proper 1-1 UHD x265 HDR10/DV for storage, etc... The more complex the files have become, the better the players must be to handle them... Makes me wonder what's next after Google's VP9 & HEVC/H.265 codecs for 8K res.. sweat.gif
I've experienced a crash or 2.. But not regularly. Some days, I can have the app running for hours on live TV without a single hiccup. Another time while watching a a backtracked channel, somewhere along the way, the app just crashes or pops an error. IIRC, something about this live view is finished or similar.. Then I have to hit the back button and restart the channel. What device and apk are you running?
*
I'm using tx3 mini-A. I even reset the box. The apk is from apk pure. However I find something strange about this box, I think I got cheated, coz the ram of this box is only 1gb, but with 16gb storage. Normally I know it's either 1gb/8gb or 2gb/16gb.

My type of crash is where the app will just quit by itself and brings me back to tv box home screen. Could the issue cause by insufficient ram?

1GB system misbehaves, nothing else to blame except too little memory. The system might have killed some necessary background processes thereby causing the foreground app to crash.

install aida64 and reconfirm ur box ram capacity.. as tx3 mini variants are only 1GB/8GB and 2GB/16GB..

QUOTE(voncrane @ Jan 7 2020, 11:49 AM)
Could be or simply the app doesn't play well with whatever fw you are running. Others gave some suggestions. Do verify actual HW and if really 1GB RAM? I'm sorry... Return and get your money back if possible.. Either way, either seek out other ROMs that might fare better or no choice, have to junk it and get a new box.
*
I installed aida64 and confirmed only have 1gb ram installed. Total memory 855MB, available 300mb. Internal storage is 11.49gb. Weird. I bought it from lazada long time ago, but I didn't check that time. Just recently I play around saw the ram.

I also tired different firmware, all give the same result, frequent crash on astro go.

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Jan 7 2020, 12:38 PM)
did u check under settings, more settings?

u can see the ino there - storage and memory.

under memory, u can see total ram of the box.
as for getting kicked out of astrogo, i have seen it with tx3mini wifi, happens sometimes but not often; doesn't happen with tx3 ethernet connected.

to be sure it is not due to wifi weak and/or unstable which can cause it, use ethernet and see if any diff.

My modem is in another room so I can't connect using LAN. only can use wifi
