Ooh... Like that...
Then yes..
Some channel do have delay....

Actually speaking....
Main reason for subscribe to astro is because of sports....
Movie is not... Because of heavy censored....
Online better 😁

Different people different needs and request.

To me I subscribe Astro because I support its local content. Astro AEC produce some good programe/documentary.
For me if I like the thing I'm watching, subscribe or buy it.

Still remember last time buy original copy of PC games biggrin.gif . Now still have it with me but don't have a CD-ROM to run it anymore laugh.gif

By the way for Disney+Hotstar launching from the decoder, does it support 4K now? I noticed that LG WebOS now support it, previously only 1080

Its a shared account purchased @lowyat.
Errr... What? sweat.gif

Now, check the transaction history of that Netflix account, see where does it charge the RM55 for the previous months.
If you notice the payment method of that Netflix account right now becomes only Astro billing, and does not have any other payment method, then it's likely because the owner of the Netflix account has removed it. And eventually when the subscription fails to auto renew, and so happen that you've logged in to that account on your Astro box, that makes it the only payment method available to auto renewal, hence RM45/RM55 is charged onto your Astro bill. This is to ensure continuous service of the Netflix subscription.

If I'm not mistaken, even before Netflix would to start charging on your Astro bill, the Netflix app on your Ulti/Ultra Box will prompt you for confirmation. Or maybe you've overlooked that confirmation page, or someone within your household overlooked that confirmation page, and just press "Start watching"?

Hope the shared account that he get is from some one close (relative / friends), not those purchase online type...
Else there is nothing much that can be disputed

They called me and asked if I used NF earlier.I said I have my personal one and it has been running fine on UB for almost a year. Then I told them my online portal only shows I have only 1 apk that is DH,so where is the Netflix I was charged for! If i had an exsisting NF running how can anyone could hv subscribed as astro alleged? Then after about 1/2 hour CSR  said will refer to higher management,and later in the evening they agreed to waive the charges. I had also reported to SKM before calling them.My own NF is still going on fine on 741!
*
So the refund is from Astro.
Maybe they are pressured to resolve the cases due to complaint received from SKM? hmm.gif
Good for you then.

Everybody calm down.... 😅😅
Let's put it this way... Astro introduced Multiroom subscription with the intention to supplement your primary Astro subscription, and it is only meant to be used in the same service address. regardless whether it's Multiroom box or smart TV app.

If you wish to use Astro in different service address (House B), kindly pay more money subscribe to a new primary Astro account meant for that address (House B), rather than abusing the official Multiroom rule by utilising the Multiroom entitlement from the Astro account meant for House A.

Although technically and unofficially, the Multiroom entitlement meant for House A would still work even if you use it at House B. But this will be detrimental to the Astro company in terms of financially in the long run, as many people might use this tactic to terminate their respective primary Astro account (or don't subscribe to individual Astro account at all) and enjoy Astro services in House B by using the Multiroom entitlement from House A.
For consumers, indeed this will save a lot of money.

Officially just keep it this way: 1 Astro account should only be used in 1 service address. 1 Astro account may consists multiple Astro boxes (i.e. Primary or Multiroom), but still, it shall be used in that same service address only, and nowhere else.

If you wish to bend the rules above, the risks is yours to take. Therefore, do it only if you know what you're doing.
*
Totally agree notworthy.gif

You can use it on different address, CS said can use it on multiple address (sometimes CS don't really know their system and TnC) but the TnC said cannot. So it it up to you to decide you want to use on different address or not.

whistling.gif This forum should provide all-round information. so do accept information from all.
Can you use multiromm on different address (technically yes but legally no). The same thing is also applicable for netflix.
You all pandai pandai....

Thank you for your explanation. I just noticed that my Astro GO has been upgraded to Astro GO+

But there's only one thing I still don't know why I suddenly got a RM15 discount for MR Smart TV hahaha.  confused.gif
*
I'm just guessing, maybe because of switching package and the biling date overlaps, so they provide you the discount for your Astro Go+ and it become free for this month.

Maybe you check on next month biling, it should be RM15 instead of RM19.99 that you currently paid.

Hi, just wondering, if I’m on legacy Astro package and were to relocate, do I need to switch to the new package?

Do you need any service from Astro to help with your relocation? If no need... then just signed in at the astro account online and change address.

If PVR is spoilt, can we still get a PVR replacement now?

The standard answer is Yes, you will get the new Ulti/Ultra box but will be tie with a 24 months contract

So my parents house still using the old pvr
Lately not sure why, sunny hot day but certain channels won’t load and tell u the error saying due to weather
Rebooted it, no help
Wonder what went wrong
Can only call Astro to fix?
Don’t talk about usin ultra box yea, old people don’t use internet
*
Just a side note... you will be amazed how fast your parents can learn new thing.
My parents is in their 70s and give them a smartphone and soon, they can play facebook and whatsapp...
Same about astro.I update them to ultra box and now they just input the channels they want to watch directly.. They don't deliberately go search for new movies but all those channels that they are watching, they have no issue switching to it.... flex.gif

Back to your PVR, I think Astro or their technician will be reluctant to fix the old PVR.
They will just up-sell you to ulti/ultra box

Actually, many ISPs around the world want to collaborate with Starlink:

  • Joint deployment: ISPs and companies can work with Starlink to jointly deploy and operate a satellite internet network. This can be a cost-effective way for ISPs to expand their reach into rural and remote areas.
  • Backhaul: ISPs and companies can use Starlink's satellite network to provide backhaul for their existing wired networks. This can improve the performance and reliability of their networks, especially in areas with limited terrestrial infrastructure.
  • Dedicated service: ISPs and companies can purchase dedicated bandwidth from Starlink to provide their customers with high-speed, reliable internet access. This is a good option for businesses and organizations that need a guaranteed level of service.
  • Testing and development: ISPs and companies can collaborate with Starlink to test and develop new satellite internet technologies. This can help them to stay ahead of the curve and provide their customers with the best possible service.

*
Hmm... but being Elon Musk company, I doubt it will collaborate with any of the ISPs.

There is so little to gain for starlink, it itself can already operate on its own. Only if the ISPs can bring something new to the table then chances are it will then open up but currently i don't see anything new

Perhaps might be like Celcom DiGi? hmm.gif

Oh well~ it's too complicated already due to involve a lot of shareholders and directors..
Or another way... It will be called "Maxtro" (Just kidding only. sweat.gif )
*
Celcom Digi is both telecommunication company. So it is easier on the buy over/merger.
But Astro is a broadcaster/content creator and different from Maxis.

I think AK will just privatize the company as what he do previously and buy up the shares at discounted prices.
When the time is right, put in back on bursa again.

Don't think so 😕

But seriously would love to have some adults channels here 😜
(If possible 😁)

I'm not sure your adults channels is referring to adult swim.
But adult swim is just part of the cartoon network with animation or series targeted to adults.

We already have part of those animation or series in astro or maybe Nexflix
such as FutureRama, Family Guy, CowboyBebop

Btw I tried it in Singapore, it works. 🤭🤭

Haha... tongue.gif I thought this is a known secret. Not just for astro, your browser or google will also search Malaysia content instead of the roaming country you are in, unless you tell your browser to use your gps location.

Ok, de. Slowly teach. Write down on a piece of paper. I also teach them step by step.

If hang, turn off main power and turn on.
If decoder working, but no internet... check the router
etc....

I even specify the number to press for the channel they like and how to search... slowly there will pick up... no worries.
