You can also WhatsApp Astro (+60395433838) and Type 7 for Box Upgrade, you'll be connected to a live agent. You can tell that agent that you want the free box upgrade to be Satellite installation.
They keep extending their promo price period... I tell you what... Just assume the price is RM14.99.
Until the day you see they going to charge you the price of RM29.99, and you're not happy with it, then you can just cancel it. It won't trigger contract penalty whatsoever.
*
My price got revert to RM29.99 on the 13th month. Anyway, as it is informed up front when I sign up for it and on top of that it is cheaper than multiroom ultra/ulti box. I remain using and paying it. Just sharing for those that want to sign up.

I did sign up for Multiroom Smart TV app today on Astro Self Service (the old My Astro portal). But it has stated that my RM14.99 promo price period will end on Jan 31, 2024. Let’s see.

Seems like no much point for me to terminate and signed up again to get promotional price if the promotion ends at 31st Jan 2024.
Yeah, but you know Astro, they may just lengthen the promotion. let see how then after January next year. hmm.gif

hmm.gif the installer said that if can receive signal, then no issue rclxub.gif , should this even be acceptable?

CNR reading on ch393 is 12.7-12.9
*
These technician all same same one... just want to finish job quickly and collect their payment. Too bad that there is no SOP then certain signal quality need to achieve to complete the job. And what the technician said is partially correct, got sound got video.. then it is OK... as it is digital. You either got it or you don't get it at all, not like analogue.

sorry that I din mention properly.
before this, this is another astro account under same house, meaning total got 2 astro accounts
just know about the multiroom that is more cheaper under same house
so this unit is converted to the multiroom package with another primary account
the primary account unit no problem and can use
just this multiroom unit cant use after converted
tried to call astro but closed pulak  sweat.gif

A lot of unknown factors from your post. Maybe try iron out 1 by 1. Or maybe you already have astro to help reset from their side.
Anyway, I post my queries.
1. When you switch this 2nd astro account to become under your another account as multiroom. Usually the technical side will advice a reset may take up to 2 hours?
2. When you login to your myastro account online, access Subscription -> TV pack -> Multiroom. Will you able to locate your second decoder in there?
3. Try move your this decoder with issue to your primary decoder location perform a swap. Install your primary decoder to the other location. (This will iron out if it is an LAN cable or network issue)

Hope your problem got solved soon. Cheers!

Seem family no plan to switch to unifi tv
Is it any current smart tv is enough for astro ultra box?
Refer to my old post, i still using very old pamasonic a very basic tv, installer say HDCP too old, may not support new ultra box

Any i mean just pickup any brand like LG Sony Samsung also ok right, no related tizen on, google tv, android tv
*
If just to connect o ultra box via HDMI, then any of the newer TV will do regardless of brand or platform
Oh... but do stay away from SHARP, some installer remind me that it may also have some issue.

If you plan to use multiroom app, then you may also want to check out from astro page on supported model. With Multiroom app, then you don't need the ultra box.

Any subs RM2k, as long as 4k also can right, i no need any special function on tv,
Saw like samsung 43inch 4k below RM2k, may go for that

I dunno ehat plan using, not i apply that astro, as still using old box, and current astro box exhaust fan very loud, like pc CPU full load, fan spin at 100%

Haha... oklah for parent sake, just upgrade for them lo. But how come you are not the account owner but you are task to do the research... Haha... ask the owner lo...
Your parents current using 43 inch? Else the reduction in size will be very apparent and It is a bit small to view 4k content though. A 65' range from RM2.5k to 3.2k

Parent keep bising raining cannot watch, and ultra box can use internet, so to change ultra, tv also need change

Btw we cannot do ownself to clean dust right

At least they didn't delete the post and sunk it. Anyway, if you had been with astro long enough, will become veteran already. All complaint need to ask for report number. The report number is some notes indicated so that who ever that take over your complaint can read it and follow up. Worst case scenario, there is always MCMC on your side.

As for the the subscriber that pass away, I guess the family members just being responsible. If were for me. I will just ignore it. ask them to go claim from the dead cool2.gif The contract does not tie to next of kin.

My thinking is that if the price is published up front. Then it is willing seller willing buyer case. So there is no issue. The problem is when the contract got extended without proper notification or price hike... then it is more of a concern

For the group of people who has the similar mindset as you, should have go for Sooka or Unifi TV instead.

QUOTE(Iptvfan @ Jan 22 2024, 08:05 AM)
That is interesting. Mean for ppl not same mindset as me has a lot of spare money or not so care cost? Sooka is good but ppl not same mindset as me prefer to pay more for the same entertainment. Even njoi now also good but ppl still prefer to pay more. Unifitv has almost the same thing sometime more as they give apps and a lot cheaper. Strange mindset these other ppl. If say need epl i understand since only azzterooo got. Normal entertainment everywhere else is much cheaper and can save money. I dont und. I think a lot of ppl same mindset with me since everytime azzzrerooo report their subscribe number fall like fly. Only those still paying so high cost i think they all need live sports and it is fair. Only try to inderstand, apology if offend.
*
Nah, I didn't go for Sooka or Unifi TV because I support local content. And most of them is Astro in-house programme. Sooka had some of those but... yeah just some and then the movie need to subscribe to Disney+ or Netflix separately. Unify TV on the other hand include Disney+ and Netflix but then no local content.
Paying for the things that you feel worth is OK, as everybody value worth differently. Alot of people said that why not just get TVbox. Aside from being illegal... the main reason is that this does not support the local artist or the local production. That is just my thinking.... everybody is free to choose their own way

Hmm.... I have IQiYi as part of my Astro, didn't notice much local production... Some movies though that's it. Maybe I didn't search thoroughly. But I'm more towards documentaries. As for Unifi TV, didn't subscribe so no comment.

After asking owner request ultra box, got charge RM1xx and is out of contract, and yes this is second box, you know what mean

And yes i tell installer set satelite mode, and asking check signal, he cut cable and plug again, he say cable a bit old may cause signal week
And now signal is about 65 to 70

But after yesterday rain, it keep use internet play, even signal is back, it does not auto switch?
Feel annoying keep pop up continue viewing, and are tou sure what to switch channel?
My parent not understand the pop up
After few reboot finally use back satelite
*
No need to reboot.
Just have to ask parents to learnt to click OK and select No then OK based on the message that pops up.
Once gotten use. then not much issue.

Good thing about this new decode internet streaming is that you can bring this with you when balik kampung or go travelling (within malaysia). As long as there is fast enough internet, then you can have your astro with you.

Actually, are you guys going to utilize all the 5 profiles in your 1 netflix account?
The most we watch would be 2 or 3 profiles.

I use up to 4. One for my self, One my wife. One for my parents and lastly one for the children.
Netflix recommend show based on the show you watch and rate so profile is good to shorten the search process

I WAS thinking of getting Netflix. But when I saw the price, I was like holy shit, nope. Hotstar being as cheap as it is really makes Netflix feels overpriced

If you are a Movie/drama junkies...
The best way to enjoy these strteaming site is subscribe NETFLIX 3 months, then subsribe Disney+ 3 months then alternate.
In this way, you will be able to watch almost all shows. because They will often recycle and change content and a 3 month window is just nice.
But if want to do this, don't tie it with Astro... just subscribe yourself.

Assthrow seems still employing lots of lousy people to operate.
Order for ultrabox but order come out ultibox.

Human error lo... just have to wait and let them rectify and chase them from time to time lo.
Unless you can prove that you suffer some loss or maybe ask to postpone the billing date.

confused.gif Don't really understand, so you want additional astro decoder to use on another house?
I don't think it work like that, the old decoder will be disable when your new decoder is activated.

I tell you what... To avoid awkward situation between you and the installer, I suggest you temporarily bring your Multiroom box from your brother house back to your parents house.

Once the installer done their box upgrades for your Astro boxes, and once the installer left your house, then only you bring your new Multiroom box to your brother's house.

Usually installer no Kepochi, but best is what joshhd suggest.

Or if your TV is one of the latest version, consider multiroom app, cheaper and easier cool2.gif

Assthrow has cut so many channels and don't tell us not enough satellite bandwidth to cater more 4k linear channels?
Even there is newly launched satellite to increase capacity, assthrow has no money to buy them.
The ultrabox they are proud of since launched 4 years back still are not fully utilized to stream more 4K contents now.
*
I think it is more of ROI, instead of willing to have more 4k linear channels or not.
I think statistically, they have calculated that if they put more 4k broadcasting it will not generate more income back to them. How many really watch news braodcast in 4K... and more importantly how many willing to pay for 4k news braodcast. If it does not justify the investment, they will not spend it.

No confidence with assthrow shares... as I knew the stories from the assthrow staff when IPO was launched.
The board job is to make sure the company share price is not worsening and answerable to the shareholders.
Also, they need to convince the investors to invest the company.
When share price is down.. meaning those professional investors also have no confidence already.

Haha... this Ananda Krishnan is one "artful" businessman. To him low share price is not all bad for him.
He had taken his company private before and if it drops any lower, the same card will be played. Board of directors most of them are all his buddies...

Sure it is more to ROI.
However, whenever any business plan like 4K products is launched, a detailed business study should be explored and presented to the board for consideration.
If it is approved, then the board is convinced that 4K is the direction to move forward.
It is hilarious to have just two 4K channels after 4 years.
Even that, customers are not able to record any 4K programs for later viewing.  Why?

So ultrabox name is more likely coming from "Ultra" HD and it is so called latest decoder proudly and heavily advertised by assthrow.
Why it is such a failed product? The firmware is horriblely written and causing lots of bugs.
*
Haha... Maybe originally when 4K is a hype, everyone wanted to jump onto the bandwagon.
Then slowly, market shows that viewer is little to no interested to 4K broadcast or contents and then Astro cut back on 4K channels... "My guess"
Business strategy always changes... it is common.

As for recording... to me, it is no issue... Netflix, Disney... all no record function. it will automatically resume from where you stopped. It is minimal to no difference compare to recording.
Gone are the days where people keep their beloved movie in VCD and DVD or stored in HDD
