also, do another restart to see it will clear cache, get to the update.

if not, just wait a bit.

I see, can't wait for the TV tho! This is my big upgrade from a crappy lcd not even hd tv tongue.gif

I honestly almost went to sony, but it's pretty pricey like 3.5k RM for the same 4k hdr 50 inch.

Hi Guys, just purchase 1 during 11.11

My wife wanted to watch astro and i dun 1 to pull another wire into my room.... I guess this TV will solve my problem.

So... basically i just follow this to get Astro Go to works right? Any others thing i should take note so i dun break my new tv?

Updated 9 Oct 2018 android8.0
ASTROGO - Android 8.0:
after update to android 8.0 (sep 2018), astrogo installation:
if u want to install/reinstall astrogo, it is easier on this android 8.
.. get astrogo v8.2.4 (official version is fine), put in USB->tv usb.
.. must have orientation app installed, set to landscape. this one will work:
https://apkpure.com/set-orientation/com.goo....setorientation
.. (previous "rotation app" which worked on android5, 6, 7 does NOT work here.)
.. if u did not accept proposed Puffin TV app during android8 update, please install it from playstore - required as installer package for astrogo.
.. (chrome or es file explorer NOT required and not preferred, and if u use either, u have to grant permission as installer.)
.. install from playstore X-plore as file manger to install; once u click install, it takes u to PuffinTV - click on the box "astrogo login"; the rest is straightforward.
.. a mouse is required to navigate; remote will not do.

for 6800x users....

the tv's ethernet port is not gigabit, so it's capped at 100mbps.

if u hv higher broadband speed, use wifi.

wifi module can easily get u >200mbps.

then again, what tv apps need that speed..?! biggrin.gif

Yea, I already mention before.....

You guys are awesome!!
Must better than most of the saleperson in the shops!
You guys drilled in every single piece of this tv smile.gif

I am planning to buy either 50" or 60"....prefer 50" if fit in nicely to my living room so can save some penny:)

Notice the price has been dropped since last year until now and usually new model is releasing during year end. But not sure how end it is. Eg. 60" LC60UA6800X cost rm 3300 cheapest i saw online recently.

All sifus that follow the market trend closely.
Should i wait until Dec18 only buy it or now is the right moment because price already adjusted for stock clearing for new model?

Thanks in advanced.

the ua6800x bluetooth is "one-way" - u can pass audio from phone or tablet to TV.

but cannot send bluetooth audio from TV to avr or soundbar.

not sure if this is also the case for al1x.
