Not sure if you guys got it but there was recently a survey from Disney+. Make sure to provide your feedback on how bad their app is on Ultrabox.

Like -oc-gassa, I'm observing the same thing. The stereo output from the UBox can be adjusted using the UBox remote control. However, if the signal is DD, the remote control has no effect on volume output. Now, the volume can only be controlled using the AV amp, which will also affect the volume hen the output is in stereo from the UBOx.

But if DD is coming via HDMI ARC then can adjust using single remote.

Man, I'd be pissed as well if I see crappy whatsapp ads. Hope they take action based on your report.

I can only imagine the amount of money required to run this operation. It'll blow a hole through their tax budget.

Was watching EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE on Astro Ultrabox today. They seems to be cutting out scenes and muting profanities on HBO Ultrabox Ondemand movies. Even profanities are being muted.

Oddly when played back on HBOGO app, it's uncut. Have they decided to start chopping up movies again on over the air transmissions?

So I'm trying to watch No Way Home via OnDemand streaming. Is there any ongoing bandwidth issue? It's like superblocky compared to the other streams.

Can show us a picture on how's that "superblocky" scene look like, along with the exact timestamp of that scene.
Then we all here can check as well.

It's actually via web browser(AstroGO).

Oh, Astro Go, is it?
If it's Astro Go, then it's only up to 720p, and they're pretty stingy in bitrate, so yeah, video compression artifacts are to be expected especially during fast motion scenes.

I suggest you stream it on your Ulti / Ultra Box, then you'll get 1080p quality there.

Ouch, thank you for the feedback.
Seems D+ also practices the same.

It has something to do with Astro itself being the Malaysian distributor of Disney+ Hotstar, hence not affected by the price hike.

Wait....Astro gets a cut when we subscribe directly from hotstar website?!
Dayum. Didn't know this.

Intersting. Seems the GO app will be discontinued and MAX supplant it. Guess this explains why Astro agents have been harassing my dad this pass few days.

Anyone able to confirm if 5.1 surround works with MAX app on Google TV, please?
With HBOGO it didn't.
