Tell them to courier it to you. That's what I did with mine. Also note that to make sure other people can't steal your box, they will courier your box and sim card separately.

Oh I misread your post. I thought you were applying for a new Multiroom. You're upgrading instead. Oh well, try taichi with the customer service, saying you will send it in later or say it's spoilt.

TQ. Mind to shows how to find this?

install any plugin that can detect what is playing in your browser. I usually use VideoDownloadHelper

Check what is playing and see the detail

There should be an MPD URL in the details. Copy the link, and paste in your browser. It should download an MPD file

Open the MPD file in a text editor and voila, you get the information of the stream.

Note that the stream itself is encrypted. But the mpd (manifest) file itself won't be. It won't do any good if you want to watch the stream in another player, but it's great to see information on what quality the stream supports

It's a bummer anyway since NHK World Premium is ONLY viewable via satellite dish. Plug 'n Play & Astro GO app cannot.
*
IIRC that is due to NHK's decision. They were (at the time) only allowing NHK Premium on broadcast. Hence why they pulled the plug on the channel from Unifi TV, as Unifi TV is considered "streaming"

Are you streaming from mobile or tv?  If TV should have higher resolution @ 1080P.
*
They are not adding the pillarbox. But because the app is playing at default reso, meaning since your phone reso is larger than 480p, it's zoomed out. If you open Sooka with browser, you will see that it fills the browser without pillarbox even at 480p

Singapore got NHK World Premium on streaming too via the StarHub TV+ app. It applies to Hong Kong as well via Now Player (Now TV).

As I said, "at the time". NHK is kinda weird in a way.

This kinda explained why the rating of 8TV is now on its record high (more than half of total Chinese viewing is on 8TV - and 8TV has a clear monopoly on FTA market) + the migration in general to legal and illegal streaming services.
Based on past records, adoption of Astro has always been generally lower on the Chinese population.

Even then, Astro's adoption is in decline across all races thanks to MYTV (what's the point of using Astro if you are going to watch just TV3?) + Unifi TV + legal and illegal streaming. Sometime ago, Astro was claiming 80% penetration (and maybe 70%+ penetration.)
*
Ironically some of those people on illegal streaming are using it to watch Astro's in house show. So if Astro bungkus they are killing their own favourite show rclxub.gif 😂

Besides the pay-TV bundle, holy phuck, it is hella expensive for some functionalities that don't even match the normal Disney+.

Thta what happens when your currency is weak and you don't have enough population to offer low price.

For example why Indonesia can offer lower prices compared to Malaysia is because they have lots and lots of people to cover the cost. 10% of Indonesians subscribing to something is already 27 million customers. Whereas 10% customer in Malaysia is only 3 million.

Register and activation are with phone number right? That's how they are limiting contents as you are unlikely getting another country's phone number unless you are willing to go out of your way to get one.

IIRC these are sold through Telegram nowadays. You are unlikely going to see it openly like previously.

Astro emailed me about my upcoming contract is finishing. If I don't do anything, would it auto renew to 2 year (with the cheaper price)? Or renew to only 1 year?

If your existing contract is already on 24 months, then it will auto renew for another 24 months if you don't do anything, and your monthly fee will remain the same as it is (unless if you have other kinds of special limited-time rebates, then it's different story).

Since I am not home, I can't test if 398 (NHK) is actually truly accessible. But for the others, yes, I can now watch them

Nice!

QUOTE(joshhd @ Apr 12 2024, 12:59 AM)
Yeah. NHK World Premium (CH398) used to be part of Dynasty/Chinese Favourites.
Since they moved all channels in that pack/addon into Family/Primary Pack from 1 Apr 2024, hence that is why you can watch it now.
In fact is, every Astro customers can watch it now, without subscribing to anything.

But, that channel has no subtitles (even if there is, then it's a hardcoded Japanese subtitles during non-Japanese dialogues), and their English audio dub are only applicable to very few programmes only.
It's like, that channel is meant for Japanese expats in Malaysia, not really meant for us locals to watch it. Unless if you can understand Japanese, then it's different story.
For those who don't know, Japan's NHK is like equivalent to our Malaysia's RTM, so don't expect too much from that Japanese channel.
*
Yeah, but if you follow Japanese entertainment industry, it's a great channel to have as you get same day viewing of some Japanese dramas, and during new year eve, live Kohaku concert. Previously I subscribed this channel on Unifi TV until it was dropped. So I am rather glad I can get this for free since it's a premium channel.

And for those wondering, no, it's not similar to NHK World (non premium) which can be streamed for free.
