I use On Demand (VOD) on my Ultra Box, no issues also. I use Astro Go also no issues so far.
I do notice that some PVR box users experiences the same since today or yesterday.

How about you? Do you face any issues?

"Please turn off your Set Top Box, then turn it back on"

Just something random. Anyone here sees this message before appear on Astro box?
I've been using Astro for so many years, and I've seen pretty much every types of pop up messages on Astro box, except this one.
Does this means the Astro STB is... somehow experiencing some issues or what? Or I'm wrong?

Btw this photo is taken from someone else.

Aww... Astro so nice la... Provide customers to enjoy stay at home concert for free to all Astro customers from 14 Apr till 28 Apr.


But still, if they let customers choose, I would rather have some bill rebate on my Astro rather than free stay home concert 😆

Stay Home Concert channel, channel 700 in HD.

By looking at the description, you can guess they'll show what kind of long-time-recorded "concerts" shows.

Might as well add Astro Go exclusive channels like Kplus, Aniplus and DW to Astro satellite tv too.

That will be the topic of content rights...
Just because your license to provide the channel/content on OTT (internet streaming) platform, doesn't mean you can provide the channel/content on DTH (satellite) platform.
It all comes back to money issue la, in simple words.

Or, they just want to offer something that its satellite TV service don't, so they make it an Astro Go exclusive channel to attract some viewers to use the platform, especially the youngsters.

Those on the full pack should get discount, right ?

Really, I'm serious. I'm not making things up.
When I say Astro is a champion in copy pasting stuff, which is what they do best, now not reading customer's comments properly is a new added feature in them.

Translation: Hi. Sorry for that matter. We understand that you're facing difficulties to gain access to your favourite shows though the MCO period.
Alternatively, you may login to Astro Go using laptop/PC or tablet and connect to your TV by using a HDMI cable to access to Astro Go on your TV.
Enjoy watching Astro, stay home and stay safe.

That guy asked about the nostalgic, games feature that was used to be Astro Channel 882 (yes I still remember that), and Astro don't even bother to read his comments properly then jump to conclusion that it must be related to some service disruption, so they just copy paste the same answer used by others.

This actually gives me and the public an impression on how they handle customer's suggestion and feedbacks. Straightaway brush you off with some typical go-by-book answers, then proceed to next customer.😟😔😔😔
I've encounter this many times, but till this extent ah, it's really too much la seriously... It's very upsetting actually. 😔

I censored the CS agent's name that commented this, for some reasons. If Astro wish to investigate, they should investigate all of them instead, instead of only pin-pointing that one person. 

"Oh yeah, "better than nothing lo..." - Oh ya, Thanks for astro preview channel.
"We should be grateful for what we have lah, right?" - Yes, we have astro device such as DTH and dish. But both no longer function anymore. "Display unit" to proof that your lifestyle so good you have astro..
You try lah~ If you are luckily, then 5 minutes will settle off. :thumbsup:
If you are unluckily one, then you ask from Whatpps > Twitter > Email > Chat autobot > phone.. If all contact support cannot work, please try again from first step. TQ~
I think this is confidential against privacy, so they have right to remove the comment.

Legacy Astro box users sees this message appear on Fox Movies SD (433) and AXN SD (721). 

It is believed that this 2 SD channels is moved to other available transponders.

So, do you guys miss this "blue colour software"? 

FMP = Fox Movies Premium
It's actually Fox Movies, where previously it's known as Fox Movies Premium (FMP). Astro don't bother to change the name.

**EDIT: Fox Movies SD (433), AXN SD (721) and also Fox Sports SD (835) shows the same message..

Newer technology comes with a price..
No more simple interface....
Old people yes I understand... But some younger gen boobies also sometimes confused....

Shoik sendiri attitude...
They do whatever they like..
I think people have gave feedbacks previously... Yet they didn't take it as valuable inputs...

Viewers:
Why Astro got so many ads? I pay money every month not to watch advertisements! 

Astro to viewers:
"You want more expensive subscription fees, or your fees maintain the same but some ads appear on your TV like now?"

Astro to advertisers:










Dear advertisers, look at all the opportunities to reach your viewers there...
What are you waiting for? Go advertise your brands on Astro now!

When they opened up Astro Go to all Malaysians (typically non-Astro customers), it is obvious that they want to increase the numbers of users to make it look like a lot.
Maybe that's one of their way to convince the advertisers that "Hey advertisers! Look, there's more non-Astro customers using my Astro Go platform since the MCO. Come advertise your brand with me."

No lah of course... Content offering are similar to Njoi Now, which has already ceased.
When open the TV Guide, you'll see only these:


The home page of Astro Go for non Astro customers, is like a stripped off version from the full version of Astro Go.


To most people, the first impression will be like "Boring....  "
Normal lah, can't complain on free stuff.
