sooka & NJOI customers can now access 5 new FAST channels from Astro
https://marketingmagazine.com.my/sooka-njoi...els-from-astro/
FAST stands for Free Ad-Supported Television
In other words, it means free rojak channels that recycle all the many-years-ago TV shows, and then with slot-in ads in between commercial breaks.
Some people (including me) would find it rubbish, but there are people out there that cares about quantity more than quality, so to them, the more number of TV channels, the better.
And for sure there'll some Astro customers out there will make noise and say things like "I pay so much every month, yet NJOI customers can get the 5 new channels for free. That's not fair.sweat.gif
But seriously, FAST channels are not "premium channels". As an Astro customer who is paying a premium price every month, do you really need uh.... new rojak low quality channels?
Obviously, they made these rojak FAST channels only available on NJOI and Sooka platforms for a reason.

Since those channels will keep looping those many-year-old shows, I believe in Astro's perspective, it is a very cheap way to "increase number of TV channels", and that is a good news to those low or never-paying NJOI customers, cuz it gives them more choice of channels/programmes to watch. Well, it's old shows anyway.
And NJOI can take this opportunity to upsell their prepaid packs offerings during commercial breaks, especially their NJOI Family Pack, which can potentially increase their revenue.
Free low quality channels, still better than nothing.  whistling.gif

Anyone notice this ad on NJOI website? Looks like refurbished Zapper decoders will come with new Astro remote that looks like Ultra Box one. Apparently got time shift functions also… will Astro really give PVR functions to NJOI users??

The remote control looks like more like the Ulti Box one?
Maybe their Zapper boxes are exhausting soon, and might offer Ulti Box to NJOI customers?
Or they've exhausted their NJOI remote control?
Nobody knows...
*
They’re just get rid of the old B.yond logo on the remote, so they’re “replacing” it with the current Ulti Box remote for this NJOI Family Pack promo banner.

Still, it’s for illustration only. For me it’s impossible for NJOI users to get PVR functionality; they could’ve just upgrade it to Primary Pack instead (of course need Ulti Box upgrade as well).

SPOTV Asia will be the official broadcaster of EURO 2024 in Malaysia & Singapore. Likely Astro will also broadcast in 4K using the SPOTV brand logo.

I tried to add Liga Malaysia Pack on My Astro app TWICE. Yet nothing happened. Ch 803-804 & Astro GO are still locked from viewing.

I'm currently on Primary Pack with no contract.

My Astro app on both website & mobile. I’m outstation currently, yet to try Ch 200. Maybe I try WhatsApp them too.

I have a feeling that this pack add-on isn’t available for purchase, technically. To receive Ch 803-804, I have to upgrade to at least Sports Pack. Dang it.

No. You don't need Sports Pack to subscribe Liga Malaysia add-on. Any non-Sports pack customers can subscribe that add-on.

I went to CH200 earlier... Try WhatsApp the text "TLIGAKITA" to +60395433838 and see if it works.

Nope. Still isn’t open after 10 minutes. I tried refreshing Smartcard also nothing changed.

Tomorrow’s my next billing, gosh I truly wish there isn’t a TRIPLE charge of this failing add-on pack. 🙏🏻

Warner TV channel will cease on Singapore's Starhub TV

Usually, if things like these happens in neighbouring countries (Singapore), then it is very likely that it's gonna happen to Malaysia someday too....  sweat.gif
And considering that HBO + Warner + Discovery = are now one company, then hmmm, sooner or later lahh...  sweat.gif

Meanwhile, I just realized that Warner TV has also ceased on Singtel TV last October 2023 due to “low viewership”.

More details via this PDF link:
https://www.singtel.com/content/dam/singtel...1-01oct2023.pdf

So no more Warner TV in Singapore.

after 24mth?

and, i think in the last few pages, people posted their ASTRO fibre is getting another automated mandatory 2yr contract renewal. "mandatory", as i'm not sure can opt out or not.
So I would be alert to such practice; if you missed the window to terminate, will be another 2yrs for another opportunity. also not sure if contracts for fibre and astro pack will be aligned same due date or not. headache whoah to terminate if they aren't.

Back to normal pricing: RM189/month.

hmm wonder those on Arena Bola pack is (un)able to enjoy it...

They couldn’t anyway. Since it’s a pack add-on, you need to upgrade to Sports Pack to watch in 4K with Arena Bola already being included.

Speaking of which, it has been 7-8 times since I tried to purchase Liga Malaysia Pack add-on to my Primary Pack (no contract). Nothing changed.

So my instinct is clear from the start: I need to go to Sports Pack instead to watch Ch 803-804, since those are also airing major regional football leagues (AFC Cup, AFC Champions League). Or I just go to sooka.

My friend, you don't need Sports Pack for the sake of watching CH803/804 (although Astro will be happier if you upgrade to Sports Pack instead 🙃)
Primary Pack customers (regardless of contract period) is eligible to subscribe Liga Malaysia add-on.
What you've been experienced, is clearly a technical glitch on their end. doh.gif

I suggest you engage with their CS agent about this issue instead. You can go to Astro Facebook page, message them (it'll be a chatbot at first).
You type "live agent", then it'll route to live agent.
Let the agent manually process it on their end instead.

It’s okay, I’ll go for sooka TV. RM49.90 is a steal. Can stream via Unifi TV Box.

Yes, minus the streaming apps listing and linear 4K channels 549 & 805/806. Just add-on RM14.99/month (Multiroom Smart TV) on My Astro app, and you get free Astro GO+ (4 screens incl. 1 Smart TV app & 1,500 hrs of cloud recording) as well.
