On November 1, 2024, Kids Pack subscribers will get the newest Moonbug's sister channel, Blippi & Friends on Ch 619.



Blippi & Friends is a 24/7 linear channel named after Moonbug’s live-action preschool brand, targeting children aged four to eight. It includes a daily segment tailored to younger pre-schoolers.

Malaysia is the first Asian country to receive the channel via Astro. Retrospectively, the channel was launched in March 2024 through the MENA region.

Anyone still on legacy astro packs can simply add mini packs (Sports, variety, Korean, Kids & Horror but No News)& app subscriptions (Viu, Simply South & Qalbox) via myAstro app.

PSA: Link your HBO GO account with Astro subscription NOW so you can login to Max from 19 Nov 2024

If you want to be able to login to Max through Astro subscription as Max launches on 19 Nov 2024, please read this:

If any of you are able to watch HBO channels on Astro (e.g. Movies Pack customer), but haven't create and/or link the HBO GO account with your Astro subscription, please do it ASAP.
Even if it has been ages since you last login to HBO GO, it's time to login the account and double check.
This is to ensure that you can login to Max app from 19 Nov 2024.
You will be using the same email address and password of your HBO GO account, to login to Max.

I got a reliable insider info which is similar as what previously shared by doubleM2 where for those who did not link their HBO GO account with Astro subscription by 17 Nov 2024, will NOT be able to link their Max account with Astro subscription as it launches on 19 Nov 2024.
This applies regardless if you subscribe to Movies Pack (or any packs that has Movies) before or after 19 Nov 2024.

Tip: If you can watch HBO channels on Astro now (e.g. CH411, 412, 414, 415...), it means your Astro subscription has Movies, hence you are eligible for HBO GO access (soon will become Max).

It has been told that all these is due to technical readiness from Astro's end (means they are technically not ready, due to other priorities), so those "late comers to Max app" will have to wait until around Jan/Feb 2025 to be able to link Max account with Astro subscription. (Note: May subject to date extension).
As an alternative, Astro will advise those "late comers" that they can still stream selected Max content through On Demand or Astro GO instead. 
All existing Movies customers will be getting Max Standard plan, but due to the technical readiness mentioned earlier, there will be no upgrade option to Max Premium just yet, AND no option to subscribe Max Standard or Max Premium plans as a standalone app addon, until around Jan/Feb 2025 (Note: May subject to date extension).

Even if you previously linked HBO GO account with your Astro subscription, I strongly suggest you guys to double check to see if the HBO GO account is still remained linked with your Astro subscription before 17 Nov 2024. 
This is how it looks like when the HBO GO account is successfully linked with Astro subscription:

Do note that this is only affecting Astro customers.
If you are an Unifi TV customer and subscribed to a pack that includes Max app (e.g. Ultimate Max Pack, Ultimate Plus Pack, etc.), or any other touchpoints, then the above information shouldn't concern you.
Please share this important info to your family and friends who is an Astro customer subscribed to Movies, and is anticipating for Max to launch in Southeast Asia on 19 Nov 2024.

Astro Radio stations’ playlists on SYOK will discontinue Nov 29, 2024.

Its FM & digital stations (via Astro decoders) are unaffected by the change.

None.

SYOK app will continue with only live streaming of FM, digital, and partnered radio stations. Just without those playlists.

How to claim the first movie？

How's the quality of Sooka? Since there is buy 1 year free 1 year promotion now, was thinking to subscribe to stream EPL

Unfortunately I won't be getting the TV stick because my google TV already have Sooka app. So I don't think I will get to enjoy 4K, just 1080p

All channels is either down or freeze atm

This is interesting, can existing customer apply or new customer only?
Since I cant find the T&C documents.

You're on Premium Pack 2, right?
You feel like want to cancel because? Sooka is cheaper? Stable enough for your daily or sports viewing?

That one is only for new customer sign-ups.
Existing customers who yearns for offers can only rely on retention offers.

Because not willing to pay more than now, if the current not available and offer new one which is more expensive then not worth, as currently subscribed for my wife and kids, im more on sports channel when there's live event such as f1 and motogp
