Yes, just directly key in the channel number also can. Program +/- also can
I use with LG TV, other TV brand I not sure.

But There is a few short coming, first this is streaming service, not broadcast service through the astro dish.
So as mentioned some of the channel and audio is not available.
Second, streaming service depend heavily on number of people watching the channels and the server can overload. I do experience that the screen stop claiming that lost network or something and need to press reconnect to resume. Quite irritating especially during news session and badminton match last time
Depending on your TV processor, in my case it is not as smooth if compare to the ultrabox when navigating, it is like half a second slow.

I have been using the smartTV more than a year... I remember after 1 year, the revert the price to the original from the discounted price. I didn't bother about it back then and pay the full price for sometimes.
Then recently I recontract to the new one package, and then the price revert back to discounted price.
So, as some member mention, it is without contract, I think we can hack the system by cancel and resubscribed again if the price is no longer discount (I never try it though)

Better just use My Astro to subscribe to Multiroom Smart TV.

If you want to subscribe Multiroom Smart TV through CH200 > WhatsApp chatbot, you'll have to go through live agent (which is available only on working hours). There's no dedicated self serve flow like My Astro app/web.
As long the remote control has numpad or ch-/+ buttons, it should work just fine. And yes, just press the numpad on your TV remote control to tune to other channels.
It is just like Plug & Play service.
100% Internet connection, and the streaming performance is at the mercy of their servers.

Afaik, only via Astro WhatsApp or CS number. My Astro app disallows this action for legacy packs.

Just information sharing regarding Netflix account tie with Astro that usually will prompt late payment



Although account is not suspended and still can view Netflix normally but will receive this email consistently monthly

- If you want to switch your Ultra Box back to satellite mode, you’ll need to call customer service. An installer must come to set it up, and your 24-month contract will restart.
- Don’t try to switch it to satellite mode yourself—it won’t work unless Astro updates your account in their system.

Yes, unfortunately. Since Astro's default method is Plug & Play, the system is locked into your account's SIM card, bound with the box.

Did it work? That means you can watch either way.

Right haha, too many posts I forgot already, quite cluttersome to find back the keywords

fruitie I remember you mentioned that your Astro account has multiple Multiroom boxes (not Smart TV), with some set up as Satellite and others as Plug & Play—if I remember correctly.
Apparently, when you perform a factory reset on the boxes that should be tagged as Plug & Play in Astro’s system and then you select Satellite instead, you're still able to access all your subscribed channels as usual.
This one I'm not too sure, maybe also because there's at least 1 Astro box is in Satellite in your Astro account (hence it grants all other boxes in your account to allow Satellite reception?), or maybe you just found their "loophole"...

I'm not sure about that... Maybe try ask that third party agent that attended you?

Anyway, since you can't really enjoy satellite reception properly on your condo, and Plug & Play is the only way, then Plug & Play it is.

Next I will try the smart TV multiroom since my TV supports it.
Multiroom Smart TV uses Internet streaming also...
What if you find that it consumes more than 30Mbps as what you described earlier? Cancel it later?

A 2-year contract, and that’s it.

At RM90, it’s unclear whether the price will go back to the original RM189 after the contract ends or if it’ll remain at RM90. Since I’m not on Astro Fibre due to coverage unavailability.

That's what I've heard too, 2 years contract, after that will be unknown, if rm189 i would rather stick to my current unifi which is rm139 per month for 500mbps if im not mistaken

Just sharing information as I'm also using astro fiber, they provide a router as well, but for the fiber optic gateway, they will reuse the Unifi one if it is already available.
Their router can use smart phone app to control, but I basically just use it to restart remotely

Just checked my email, yea it's rm129 per month for 500mbps

Well i guess it's a good idea change it in every 2 years, which providers offer the best deal, just grab it 🙂

Try ask in this thread: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5073652/

I'm thinking to switch our home broadband to Astro Fiber since we are paying RM 129 for 500Mbps vs Astro Fiber RM 90 for 500Mbps.
RM90 price only lasts for 24 months (together with 24 months contract). From 25th month onwards, it will revert back to original price of RM189.
As expected, Astro would reach out to you again before your contract ends, upselling you another offer at that time + recontract another 24 months.

Yes, Astro Fibre is mainly riding on TM infra.

If you're using Unifi Fibre now (not the one that uses copper VDSL), basically you should be able to subscribe to Astro Fibre.
In most cases, you will need to go through Transfer Request process (migrate from your existing ISP to Astro Fibre, without losing or releasing your fibre port to your neighbours).
Astro Fibre's unique selling point is bundling your Astro TV subscription together with Internet service (Astro Fibre) in one bill.
However, current Astro Fibre offerings is more suitable to those who intend to subscribe both Astro and Fibre together.
For those who only wants Internet (don't want Astro TV), then you can forget about Astro Fibre.

Yeah, I will need to find out the process.
What you mean find out the process?
Basically, if you want to migrate to Astro Fibre, just sign it up through My Astro, then they will take it over from there and agent will contact you to verify some information as necessary.

From your end, remember to clear all outstanding balance on your Unifi bill first, or else the Transfer Request process will be rejected, hence you end up wasting more time to migrate to another ISP (Astro Fibre).
