Yeah, after Astro Awani in HD, all chinese news, information and documentary must move to Awani and allow AEC exclusively via On Demand and on Astro GO.

Erm... which post? Didn't see any related post in that link

To get to that screen u have to go HERE then compare Starter Pack & Wah Pack

By the way, I have a few questions regarding Astro, not sure if you can help:

1. I'm currently subscribing Wah Pack with ancient HD Box (No PVR), if I want to upgrade to Ultra Box, can I just take the Ultra Box home then plug and play, or still need technician come into my house for installation or pull additional cables? (Parents want to avoid any strangers to come in during this COVID period)

2. What is the duration of renewed contract if I upgrade to Ultra Box with existing package?

3. Can Astro Go play on TV via HDMI cable? (i.e. play Astro Go on phone/tablet, connect to TV via USB-C to HDMI cable)

Thanks.

LIVE football...after long time......ch.816.......

1. Astro technician have to come to your house and install it and activate it. No additional cables.
Just contact and ask Astro if you need further clarification on whether they make sure all of its technicians are tested and free from COVID-19 or not.
Practice social distancing. It should be good enough.

2. 24 months, or penalty of up to RM1000 prorated if early account termination (It means penalty applies if you downgrade to whatever Astro boxes without valid reasons, or terminate Astro account altogether).

3. Yes. You may login Astro Go on your laptop, connect HDMI cable from laptop to TV and watch it from there.
As of now, Astro Go doesn't support any form of wireless "Cast to Device". Maybe would be available in the future.

Just noticed the Sport Lite in Value Pack has changed to Premier League Pack with an additional ASSP3.

Anyone else getting this? I'm on value pack 3b

Where to see my current monthly total after changes? Can only see past month bills

Many changes being done in Astro..
I mean the pack pricing & contents @ channels...

I suspect something big gonna happen few month time.
Astro simply won't do so much changes within short period of time...

Maybe new rival to Astro gonna start operation 😁
Another DTH service provider???

Good for us consumers. But I hope they allow us to add ASSP4 only with a much cheaper price than paying RM33 extra for the whole sports package.

Yup. Somehow beneficial to us consumer..
Should even lower the pricing if they want to survive 😂

Well u can always give suggestions to Astro..
Maybe they might look into it...
Slowly 😂

So many changes in the plan right now.
Indo pack is being revamped.
Something big is coming.
Maybe joshhd got some insider info.

My guess is there will be price hike for full Sports Pack. Hence Astro now create many sport packs like sport lite, premier league pack, astro supersport can even be subscribed per channel (1/2/3/4). This is to maintain sport subscribers and so that they won't terminate sport pack altogether. So the new sport packages are more flexible. If one only watches EPL, no need to subscribe fox sports and bein sports.

Agree!
Less confusion too.

Finally, when Chinese packages are repackaged according to dialect, this may bring down the price too for customers. So those only watch Cantonese channels no need to subscribe to other channels. Those who subscribe all packages should also be given discount in pricing.

but there's previous report mention about Sports Content provider expected to give some discount to PayTV broadcaster for the previous cancelled live events?

now if Astro want to increase price for Sports Package. No justification for the hike?

Sooner or later, price for sport content will keep increasing. Perhaps because COVID 19 this year may not see any hike. But when everything is normalized again, new rate will apply for sports broadcasting. Fo sport, content monopoly is actually a good thing. We miss the days Astro air Malaysian football leagues and almost all sports. Now no more MFL and some championship are taken by UNIFI causing many to feel disappointed that they pay for Astro sport packs but cannot watch all sporting leagues or events.

Can Astro Supersport subscribed per channel? Or do you mean Pay Per View pass?

Can subscribe to Supersports 1/2/3/4. Check channel 200 and sport category.

what reason to increase ...no live sports for 4-6 months ahead

No reason to hike.
If still hike. We all mass terminates subscription.

Well it's possible..
When the last time they hike the pricing? Can't really remember 🤔

Maybe Astro do feels like foreign sport event have more demand? Malaysia one only recently have some interest... Before this I don't think that strong... Unifi taking different approach.. since they cannot get those sports package from content providers.. so they take up local sports events? Not to overlap with Astro??
