QUOTE(nexona88 @ Nov 10 2021, 10:41 AM) Do nothing... Just ignore the new package... Me also feels the new package offered sucks... More expensive... Me too  I am on SP Lite Movies,the closest I can move is to Platinum Pack @ RM219,99 which is just Basic Netflix ,No Cakravarthy!! The package pricing shows insanity!  Without Movies and Cakravarty I must take Entertainment Plus which is RM145 and incur penalty for removing movies, so best stay put where I am This post has been edited by smileguy: Nov 10 2021, 10:59 AM

QUOTE(deric88 @ Nov 10 2021, 11:37 AM) I just switched to the Platinum + UHD Netflix upgrade, from Super Pack previously. Cost about the same as Super Pack + Premium Netflix. extra RM1.60 probably (with 2 years contract). But get more channels compared to Super Pack, extra 1 mini package since Super Pack you only get 3 out of 4 mini packages. Super Pack RM160.06 + Netflix Premium RM55 = RM215.06 nett Platinum + Netflix Premium upgrade = RM216.70 nett After upgrade, email says changes will take 10 minutes. Their website upgrade page says will take 1 day. I just chat with their lousy whatsapp support, they say will take up to 72 hours to change. Pls check your channels, I am quite sure some will be missing and you may have to add on! Like for Indian Variety Chakravathy is an additional Add on!

QUOTE(deric88 @ Nov 10 2021, 03:36 PM) Documentary/Learning and News is now 1 big mini pack (News & Documentaries), which is bundled with Platinum. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The Sports pack has Supersport 1-5. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The only channel not in the Platinum package is the Specialty sports package (WWE, Cricket, Rugby, Golf). And you also get a choice between Indon, Indian or Chinese channels, like Super Pack 1,2,3. The trap is for example for Indian you get only one Maharaja Pack instead of 2 packs,I believe the same for Chinese channels

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 11 2021, 12:48 PM) Hmm.. I'm lost in the new package. So, I'm paying RM 151 for Super Pack 3, I have my own Netflix Premium account, is there any better package for me with similar or slightly expensive pricing?

QUOTE(yayiyu99 @ Nov 11 2021, 11:21 AM) The latest Astro software update really improve the Astro audio & sound quality. On my Astro ultra box setting, I set my audio output to Stereo (PCM) rather than dolby atmos even though my TV support it. The sound coming from PCM sound louder and fuller to my ears compare if yoou set it at dolby digital or atmos. stereo is 2.1, DD is 5.1, u will miss the action during movies! Miss the sound of Helicopter going round over your head This post has been edited by smileguy: Nov 11 2021, 01:25 PM

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 11 2021, 05:31 PM) I'm not sure if this pricing is correct...   I am currently paying RM 213.06 for my Super Pack 3 (RM 151) + Multiroom (RM 50), SST RM 12.06. Of course, separate Netflix Premium subscription of RM 55. if u are a current subscriber no RM25 discount which makes yr present pack cheaper and no need another new contract for packages This post has been edited by smileguy: Nov 11 2021, 06:31 PM

QUOTE(ryan18 @ Nov 12 2021, 08:54 AM) I think discount apply to new and existing subscribers. I tried the switch current package option and the discount is applied. One of the way Astro try to cushion the price hike 🤔 this is very confusing,I cannot see anywhere its stated RM25 applies to all who go for new packs.The moment we click exsisting customer it asks us to log into our account and update.  I just caalled CS and they say RM25 is only for new customers This post has been edited by smileguy: Nov 12 2021, 09:45 AM

QUOTE(joshhd @ Nov 13 2021, 09:39 PM) Huh? I don't really get what you mean. Just treat the Netflix Premium that you get from Astro, as the same regular Netflix Premium subscription like how you would get it from Netflix. You can use back the same Netflix account to login to unlimited number of devices. However, you can stream Netflix shows only up to 4 different devices at the same time. Bro what i meant,lets say i subscribed netflux premium which allows 4 log ins. I log in using astro credentials. Can my family members use the same ID and log un to netflix on their smart tv or android boxes? In ither word's can astro netflix ID used on other devices besides your own ultra box? Thanks

Just compared my present pack which is priced RM127 inclusive GST.The same corresponding New Entertainment Premium Pack 3 with movies with only standard Netflix and only 2 Log ins is RM165+(with 24mths contract ). The same standard Netflix market price with 4 log ins is RM45. So we pay almost RM38 for Netflix standard with 2 screens on astro!!! For 4k .4 screen we pay almost RM175 incl.GST (24 mths contract)on astro and RM55 on Netflix.(No contract) Above all we will be contracted for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The moral of the story just remain with exsisting packs This post has been edited by smileguy: Nov 17 2021, 03:01 PM
