QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 6 2020, 09:24 PM) Yea la... It's a mistake shown on their website. The staff there too stress already, especially after knowing that someone is tested positive for COVID-19 within Astro's office...  KIX HD now = Hitz  For sure mistake already unless they want to bring back those channels This post has been edited by yongtjunkit: Apr 6 2020, 10:11 PM

QUOTE(doubleM2 @ Apr 6 2020, 10:51 PM) Yea I noticed that for a while now. Astro uses old picture files from its main website, before the web astro.com.my got redesigned and channel numbers changed. For example: If you go to this website; https://static01.astro.com.my/Images/ChannelLogo/Neg/109.pngThe logo file will appear as TV Okey, when it should be Naura logo instead. If you want to go to Naura logo file website; Just change the old channel number (125) at the very end of the above link I gave https://static01.astro.com.my/Images/ChannelLogo/Neg/125.pngSo Astro should change the logo file name, which is the channel numbers. Oh and another thing, look out for channel’s description as well.  Astro hits has ceased transmissions few years ago and changing the link to 705 brings Astro Hitz

QUOTE(doubleM2 @ Apr 7 2020, 01:11 AM) Exactly. It’s supposed to be KIX right? As I mentioned, if you remember the old channel numbers before, just change the number at the very end of the link: KIX previously on Ch 729. yup, looks like they didn't remove those files when the channel has ceased transmission and once they reorganise their channel number this is what happened This post has been edited by yongtjunkit: Apr 7 2020, 08:05 AM

God bless & hope don't spread to cyberjaya too... if Cyberjaya spread then maybe can say bye-bye to even more censoring unless they think that they can edit at home  btw the one in Bukit Jalil open for customers to complain directly ah(during normal time)?

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 7 2020, 04:05 PM) Like I said, some people still want it to be censored. Seriously, why they care so much? It's not that we pay Astro every month for them to censor movies also. Official reply from Astro: Just because you don't feel comfortable watching the movie, and "you think" it is not suitable for someone else, so you expect Astro to go and censor for the sake of you... They can just switch to other channels, or block the channel, or use parental control settings, or cancel Movies pack. You don't have to die die must watch HBO channel also la  HBO broadcast that movie to all it’s pay TV operators then Astro can replace the show/ movie with another one?

QUOTE(khainiz94 @ Apr 7 2020, 05:30 PM) Usually they can and I think they did it previously? I saw once a long time ago the movie had only a logo and no title for the movie. And I did compare the schedule in SG and MY, a completely different movie shown. Maybe it's a dedicated MY feed?

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 8 2020, 09:56 PM) It is expected to become more and more signs like this... If they still don't wanna allow its users to use an external hard disk, then those hot topics like "can't pause/rewind live TV" and "very reliant on internet" will be there, and also more and more customers feeling regret upgrading to Ultra Box, and want the PVR box again. Those PVR box users that make use of its features and didn't do enough homework before upgrading to Ultra Box, I kesian them. If coming from HD box then I guess it doesn’t really matter as long as there’s internet connection ? But for those who coming from PVR box, I guess that’s where the main issue is Also the SD slot on the ultra box, Astro should implement it for caching(if the HDD is slow) and for the time shift function at least... this means user can use the PVR function on live TV Unless they want to waste it like on the PVR box/ hd box(all model- dmt4-5v2)

QUOTE(Qash-M @ Apr 8 2020, 11:15 PM) Remember that one button on b.yond PVR remote that does nothing? It's the "apps" one.  QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 8 2020, 11:32 PM) Astro has lots of "Reserve for Future Use" stuff, which eventually they didn't let customer use it for any purposes also, and I'm not surprised about that. Didn’t the apps button work last time ? Now they got rid of it since the EPG update I think The USB port are “reserved for future use” though

QUOTE(dattebayo @ Apr 9 2020, 09:23 AM) it is MCMC requirements to censor the unsuitable elements in all linear broadcasts, what to do? they gives the license to operate however no rules to govern OTT content yet, and no license needed to run an OTT service, that's why VOD is not regulated, you still get to see uncensored GoT in VOD and Astro Go. Oh the previous FINAS CEO that bitched about the no censorship in Netflix? not too long after he's out of that position I guess this means that VOD on the decoder is not regulated  I guess if people complain about VOD isn't censored then can say that " who asked you to watch it" This post has been edited by yongtjunkit: Apr 9 2020, 10:02 AM

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 9 2020, 11:03 AM) Basically means, use your laptop, and open Astro Go using browser. Connect HDMI to your TV. Tablets that supports display output (either HDMI or VGA, or any), can just output it to whatever screens you want (TV, projectors, monitor, etc). Anyhow, it shall be wired connection, and not wireless type like Chromecast or Miracast. Now Astro allow Astro go mirroring on phone already/ipad/Ios ?

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 10 2020, 04:16 PM) Definitely. And the sun shall rise from South if that doesn't happen. lucky that the free HD(for SD only customers) and Free channels for the sports pack haven't ended by the end of the 3rd phase of MCO, otherwise more bombarding from customers... if there's a 4th phase then there will definitely be complaints about it This post has been edited by yongtjunkit: Apr 10 2020, 04:21 PM

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 10 2020, 09:34 PM) Typical life at Astro since MCO starts at 18 March 2020Customer: "pls extend your complimentary viewing until 28 April, or straight until MCO ends... " "open ALL channels la... such a big company yet open few channels only, so stingy. " "there's no live sports also, and it isn't justifiable for me to pay that much for sports pack. i want a discount." "i pay so much for super pack plus 4, and other people can enjoy the same for free? this is not fair! " "i got no income this month. can give discount or postpone payment? kesian me a bit la " "my astro got problem, and need to wait till MCO ends, then only technician can come how long i need to wait...?" "my astro box can't power on, can't you just ship a new astro box to my place, then i install myself? MCO don't know until when oh..." "astro go? my internet here so slow... keep disconnecting.... astro also sometimes can watch, sometimes cannot watch. haih " "i have no internet at my place, so Astro is my parent's only entertainment, and now the astro box can't even turn on? " "can u pls show other movies? your movie channels keep repeating the same movie over and over again, until i can memorise all the dialogues. " "i want to suspend/terminate my astro account, cuz i got no money already now, yet i can only do that after MCO ends? what da heck?? " "at this kind of time, suddenly my astro shows "services currently not available"??? outside also no raining! your satellite up there got problem izit? lousy service!" "i call customer service no one pick up, message them no reply, can tell me what to do?" ......and many more. Astro CS agents: so many complaints, endless complaints, too much complaints until can't reply all of them, we can't help them much, arrrghhhh.... PM Muhyiddin: Announces MCO extends till 28 Apr. Astro CS agents: "expects that customer will ask to extend complimentary viewing somemore..."  "i dont know whether i can tahan this for another 2 more weeks..." If got 4th phase, even worse.... there will be Sports pack customers calling in to extend their access to all channels(other than PPV), SD customers to extend HD viewing probably would happen After MCO(to legacy decoder user) Astro: Don’t delay upgrade today Astro: initiate shutdown procedure Customer: This post has been edited by yongtjunkit: Apr 11 2020, 07:10 AM
