Finally got Astro UHD. But since my TV also did a good job upscaling 1080p images, 4K does not actually looks that mich different 😅

QUOTE(ctu2 @ May 11 2022, 01:27 AM) I think not as long as you have movie package.When you first time login and key in code from your phone, that is the validity period for that login I suppose. If you exit Disney, you can go back without need to key in another code, but if you logout you will be asked to key in different code sent to your phone with another validity period. I have not really look into it but this was what happened when I tried. ctu2 liked this post

Unifi Ultimate Pack offers Disney Hotstar + BeIN Sports Connect + SPOTV NOW, begins 17th May 2022 onwards.
Unifi offered to switch from previous bundle of BBC + LionsGate Play + BBC + own choice. So I bite the offer. Unifi Ultimate Pack already bundled into Unifi fibre rateplan. Disney+ on Astro is still payable RM50++/3mth, but on Unifi is supposedly already bundled in. Plus, gets some Sports packs to spare even if I don't watch them; better than LionsGate Play which I can't have on TV anyway because no age limit. (Can't wait to terminate Astro after contract is up.) |

They will call and ask you to change package because the old bundle no more there. If you ask to choose a package that is close to previous one that cost a bit less., then they would say they cannot do that because they are upgrading team. So, you add a bit more but another contract renewal for 2 years. If you downgrade, you get fined (?) Unifi offered to switch from previous bundle of BBC + LionsGate Play + BBC + own choice.

If previously during Streamyx time, I can just drop unifitv and save quite an overall amount, now dropping the force-bundled unifitv won't make a dent to the fibre bill. But yeah; RM60(?) to get unifitv+Hotstar+BeIN+SPOTV+BBC better than Astro's RM50+/3mth+autorenewing bullcrap. Can always subscribe netflix separately later. You know what makes it suck-er? When I changed to the new packs, they reset Astro+Disney+Netflix contract date from Nov2021. When I upgrade Netflix to premium, only Netflix supposedly reset again to Feb2022. But they mess up the upgrade that caused me to lose discounts; in April2022, they fixed the discount snafu, but now it appears my Netflix contract shifted to start from Apr2022. So I am curious how the fart will they play those date technicality when I push terminate in Nov2023, which is supposed to be the original start date for the 24mth auto-renewing.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Thanks so much for your earlier review of this multiroom service. I oso just managed to successfully activated this service at rm29.90/monthly. The CS (customer service) mentioned in whasap conversation the RM19.90/monthly promo already ended in April 2022. But the website still showing the old promotion price. When asked CS why website still showing old price, keep repeating like robot, that price not available anymore. Lazy to argue, i just take it since much more cheaper than taking a new account. The activation done within 2-3 hours time.. Using it in Klang Valley while the current account at our old folks home in Muar, Johor. Works flawlessly in my samsung tv. Syokk wooo layan badminton this time of the year, thomas cup.. Been using unofficial IPTV for several years.. really tired of laggyness and the unstable service.

Well, no matter what service but the interruption is still interruption Astro will still continue to use Ku band for DTH as usual. ![]() One way to go around it is to use own diversity antenna where if one antenna gets interrupted the other antenna will have connection (hopefully). Then from this antenna the link is through fiber or other medium. To have direct communication from satellite to end user is not practical on this band, I suppose. |
