You use Ultra Box? Connect via LAN cable or WiFi?
Have you tried watching channel 805 continuously for few hours? Did you experience intermittent buffering that lasts 1-2 seconds, or loading icon randomly appear on-screen for few seconds when watching the channel?

Astro can deal with its content delivery network provider, Amazon Web Services (AWS) to increase its current network capacity to deal with congestion issues.
Is it expensive to increase its current network capacity to deal with congestion issues? How expensive is it?

Totally Agreed with you. Plug & play very bad for UHD channel 805. even is lan cable connected but still buffering likesome interval. Im using 100Mbps.

Also, P&P lesser one UDH channel 806 bangwall.gif

in that page, yes there is no popup button to switch packs. just need to wait whether they will actually contact us with confirmation.

the page im referring to just now is in the account page. in that page there is page to upgrade box tie to the smart card that we use.

Has Astro contacted you for the free upgrade? Mine is still no news from them yet.

So-called live game is actually delayed in Astro 😜

QUOTE(Zot @ Nov 28 2022, 10:46 AM)
Everything is delayed unless you go to stadium.

Stadium sent to service satellite. Those broadcasters like Astro that subscribed to that service will download and then upload again to their own satellites before received by subscribers. The terrestrial services can transmit straight to subscribers unlike satellite broadcasters. Well, the speed of light is fast. Probably need less than a second from Earth to satellite and back to Earth but data sent in packets depends on bandwidth available to be completed. Other thing include censorship, ads, etc.
*

Back and forth relays from Earth (stadium) to satellite, and then satellite to Earth (broadcaster/pay TV providers) here and there, it is normal to expect to have additional few seconds delay added to it.
I believe both Astro and RTM obtain the live feeds via satellite.
But I think what smileguy is trying to highlight here is, he notice that the FIFA live feed on TV2 appears to be faster than the ones we see on Astro channel 825/826, as he notices that the team scored the goal first on TV2, followed by Astro channel 825/826.

It depends on how broadcast streaming flow in their SOP. If same flow, terrestrial broadcast should be still at least a second faster.

Noted on that bro. I will try lodging a report to MCMC and see their consequent action. Thanks again for your kind reply.

Just an update on my case.
So, apparently, I did lodge a report to MCMC. After around 2-3 working days, I received a call from Astro, they mentioned that they got the report from MCMC.
Long story short, at last their management agreed to switch my account from Plug & Play to Satellite mode. However, they said my account need to renew again the contract for 24 months shakehead.gif So now I'm back to zero, had to start again paying them monthly from scratch.
Nvm on that, now I'm happy back because I got all channels working again! biggrin.gif
Also, hopefully TM will install fibre optic around my new home area in the near future

So what did you mention in the MCMC report? You mentioned about getting "Subscription Required" message, or streaming latency, or what?
And when they change your account to Satellite, did they say something about arrange technician to come install Astro dish whatsoever?

Yeah, of course I mentioned everything from A-Z on my problem cool2.gif I did mention "Subscription Required", which channels that I couldn't access, refusal of switching by Astro, etc.
Happened that they called me yesterday during office hrs, so as I'm also not at home due to work, I had to feedback them the status the next day, which is this morning. So, when they change to Satellite, they did mention that if still not OK, they will once again send a technician to recheck and resolve the problem, but in my case as everything works fine, so no need lah.

Legacy Super Pack 3 subscriber but did not change to Ultra Box last year because my Plasma TV was not HDCP compliant but decided not to change the TV as it was still in good working condition. I have now decided to buy a 4K TV and called up CS to change to Ultra Box. Requested to maintain the legacy pack subscription but CS was unable to accede, so switched to a new package. Currently using satellite dish and PVR. May I ask what are the factors to consider for using the satellite cable connection or the Plug and Play for the Ultra Box.

Plug and Play is easier (you only need an internet connection), and it does not have the rain fade issue that the satellite connection has.
But Satellite is faster (30s to 1 minute faster depending on where the plug and play stream decides to pick up) and has slightly better image quality. The picture on satellite is also consistent, while for plug and play it's will dynamically change depending on your internet speed. If you are into live sports, then I'd suggest using satellite.
