I’m not having this error.. just yet. I’m using 100Mbps Maxis Home Fibre.

Glad I didn’t listen to FM radio anymore, ytjt

Permanently or just a treat for new customers reactivating Astro?

It’s a new prepaid satellite TV from MNC Group (the one that airs sinetrons from RCTI). I’m also using it currently. RM20/month after 3-months trial.

And for new first timers as well. Free Indian Favourites preview for 2 years.

Max Ultimate Plan is officially available for upgrade on Ch 200 & My Astro app. Add RM18 if you're on Movies or Astro One: Epic Pack, or à la carte at RM 51.90 (save RM1, RRP RM 52.90).

I’m afraid that the Ultra Box doesn’t offer Max content in 4K 2160p — all limited offerings from Max tab are only in FHD 1080p.

Max app is now available on all Ultra & Ulti Boxes effective yesterday, March 11, 2025. Go to the Apps rail to start streaming.

Also, on My Astro app, Max Standard, previously in the Content section via TV pack > Add-ons, has been moved to Apps. Adding the streaming app to Astro bill will also get 4 HBO channels (Ch 411, 412, 414, 415) and Max content via On Demand & Astro GO.

No. And yes, sufficient enough.

Prime Video arrives to Astro next month.

Complimentary access for Movies Pack, Platinum Pack, and Astro One: Epic Pack subscribers. RM25 add-on for other packs.

Did you check on My Astro app that you’re subscribed to Multiroom Smart TV (RM14.99/mth)?

The promo price is there for quite a while, originally should be ended January 2024 if I’m not mistaken. But Astro continues the RM15 price cut till this day, so I’m glad with it.

The official TV brands are:
• LG (webOS),
• Samsung (Tizen OS),
• Sharp (Android TV; Google TV), and
• Sony (Android TV; Google TV).

Others, I suspect, include Hisense (Android TV; Google TV) and select streaming boxes (in my case: Unifi TV Box V2 Hybrid, Android TV 12).

Yes, it’s contract-free and can be canceled anytime (only via Astro’s WhatsApp chatbot), as the Astro TV app also functions as a streaming service. You can add-on the service through the My Astro app or via Astro’s WhatsApp chatbot.

There’s no dedicated remote control—you can use your regular TV remote to navigate the app.

Just a heads-up: all radio channels 852–877, some TV channels 398, 521 & 522, interactive channels 200 & 480, and third-party apps (Netflix, Disney+, Max, etc.) are not available on the Astro TV app, despite content availability mirrors your current TV pack subscription.

Press up/down to change the channels.

Yeah I know.

Unfortunately, no. There’s no option to disable autoplay on homepage.

As always, correct me if I’m wrong.

New TV Pack Offering (with Cost Breakdown):

RM 49.99 — Astro One: Entertainment Pack
RM 31.39 — Max Standard (previously Movies Pack)*
RM 14.99 — Multiroom (Smart TV)

Subtotal (before 8% SST): RM 96.37
Total (after 8% SST): RM 104.08/month

*Notes:

• Max Standard is now listed as an app add-on via the My Astro app/portal.
• Previously known as the Movies Pack, it no longer includes Netflix and Disney+ Hotstar (and soon, Amazon Prime Video).
• The add-on includes: 1) HBO linear channels 411, 412, 414, 415; 2) access to Max app (Standard Plan).
• Other movie channels that were once part of the Movies Pack (Ch 241, 251, 309, 401, 413, 416) are now under the newest Astro One: Entertainment Pack.

Read more below if you’re concerned about Netflix & Disney+ Hotstar app access.

⸻

Recommendation:

Stick to your current pack — you’re already getting the best of the Movies Pack:

• Netflix
• Disney+ Hotstar
• Max
• Amazon Prime Video (coming soon)

—all included for free.

⸻

Important Info if You’re Considering Switching:

You’ll lose Netflix & Disney+ Hotstar access after your next billing cycle.

Even if you add Max Standard, it only gives:
• HBO channels
• Max (Standard Plan) app access

To regain Netflix & Disney+ Hotstar, you must re-add them via My Astro app.

Note: Netflix on Astro requires a one-time 24-month contract (for Basic, Standard & Premium plans). This is the first-ever Astro–Netflix partnership of its kind.

⸻

Streaming App Add-On Costs (with 8% SST):

• RM 44.90 — Netflix (Standard) (2-year contract)
• RM 33.90 — Max (Standard)
• RM 18.30 — Disney+ Hotstar (Basic)

Total (for apps only): RM 97.10/month
With Multiroom Smart TV (RM 14.99): RM 112.09/month

⸻

Grand Total (All Add-ons + Astro One): RM 167.28/month

So yeah, just stick to your current pack. Hope it helps.

Afaik, only via Astro WhatsApp or CS number. My Astro app disallows this action for legacy packs.

Be careful. It’s NOT an official Netflix email message. I can tell.

Consider checking sender’s contact details above to verify that it’s a spam.

I assume you’re using Yahoo Mail. The icon should be showing Netflix’s “N” logo and the verified check icon besides it. This one isn’t at all.
