Currently my family house subscribed to superpack 3 (RM163 package). With this new changes, it seems that there is no reason for me to change to the latest package unless I really want to watch Netflix right?

You can access the Netflix app on your Ultra Box regardless of your package subscription, and you can just login your existing Netflix account and stream your shows as it is.

Unless you want to combine your Astro and Netflix into one bill, then you'll get to enjoy some savings lo...

there is no savings when it comes to netflix.
you pay the same RM45+ either through hutang card, 7e coupon, or through astro.

NOt expert here but there are many error correction method and within them there are many algorithm used. Not simple subject. If you familiar with zip file or file transmission, you can see checksum word. The checksum is used to verify data integrity. Error correction also has limit. If too many error, data can't be corrected and need to be resend.
*
Just want to add.
Checksum is to determine integrity of information; that the information has not been tampered or corrupted in-between sender and receiver.
By Itself cannot be used repair corrupted information.


Sideline:
having each the information, the checksum, and the correction code themselves corrupted at same time will be "fun".

force-included Variety pack into subscription, bump up the price, then surprise pikachu we're cancelling our commitment this and that while you still need to honor you commitment

by logic, subscription price should be lowered due to us "missing" what we signed up for.
don't be like Movies pack where Astro replaced Fox and Disney with re-runs after re-reruns of expired movies and dramas.

Hah... How come so sudden one???  shocking.gif Out of nowhere, Animax ceases...?  rclxub.gif

I don't think Astro would bring back ANIPLUS channel to Astro Go platform or linear TV platform anytime soon.
I guess Astro is expecting anime fans (mostly those younger generations) to just watch it from legal OTT streaming platforms, such as Netflix, iQiyi, Viu, or others.

And perhaps because viewership for Animax channel is low on Astro, that might be the reason Astro decided to drop the channel and stop acquiring anime content for good? hmm.gif

Any possibility that some anime series will be shown on Astro Ceria & Taada? Just realize that both Ceria and Taada have no subtitles.

jaggy-champion Unifi TV have Animax. Not sure if it also terminated.

Unifi TV brought back Animax channel (which was previously ceased). Now, they even have AXN and GEM as well.
So total, they have 3 channels from KC Global Media.

While for Astro, it'll be left only 2 channels from KC Global Media starting next year, which is ONE (393) and AXN (701).

pay more for contract, getting lesser.
astro hid the fact when proposing contract. qnimax going away for sure is not a 1-mth notice to astro.

I just checked out Disney Hotstar on astro . All I can say its shit!!The titles and offering differ from the original DH!! Its a waste to subscribe to DH,unless u are Movie subscriber and u just pay RM5.The Indian content is very limited,its made for astro edition!!
*
To me the +RM5 is just optics, as if Astro-rians are beloved special than those subscribing direct.

The Movies pack already terminated Disney, Fox, etc channels, so actually Astro should lessen the price of the pack.

Example (w/ arbitrary figure)

ex-Movies Pack RM50

Movies Pack without Disney, etc RM30
Add some classic movies on new channel RM8
Add Hotstar RM17 (* 3mth = RM54)

new Movies Pack RM30 + RM8 + Hotstar RM17 = RM55
And we ended up having to pick up the slack RM5.

Hye. I am on Superpack 1. If I use the Netflix app with my own personal account, will it affect anything to my account?

can. same pricing regardless payment method.

if you pay your own - no auto-renewal contract.

if you switch astro pack and pay through astro - the same astro packs are now over-inflated pricing, Astro becomes auto-renew contract

No...
They included ASSP 1, 2, 3 channels on the old Value Packs just last year around June 2020.

Still remember last year when pandemic started, where sport matches worldwide were cancelled/postponed, and customers not happy because they continue paying for sports channels as usual?

So, Astro includes ASSP 1, 2 and 3 is obviously NOT because they are being generous.

CustCare: kalau encik tukar ke pelan Astro yang baharu, encik akan hilang EPL. Tak apa ke?

Me: Eh, you want me to switch or not?


(anyway, i don't care 30-odd people who waste time and effort chasing a ball in a field when each of them can actually afford a factory making balls)

How to get Netflix, HBO Go, and Disney+ on your Astro box!
https://www.facebook.com/294025920750452/po...49983031821389/

That article title from SoyaCincau.com is very misleading... In reality, you still cannot access to Disney+ Hotstar and HBO GO app on any Astro boxes. Until now they say it's coming soon, but that "coming soon" has no specific deadline. shakehead.gif

Yes, I'm specifically referring to Disney+ Hotstar. They say Disney+ Hotstar will be made available to Ultra Box on December 2021, now it is still nowhere to be seen...? sweat.gif

I guess it must be something wrong somewhere already.... I wonder, is it because they face some difficulties, hence they're unable to achieve their initial target of Dec 2021? Or they want to make it available on 31 Dec 2021 as a last minute surprise? sweat.gif

Bersangka baik; devoting reduced technical resources.and manpower into post-flood effort. Mesti ramai pelanggan Astro turut terkesan. Juruteknik juga.

If push firmware update and happened to cause box corrupted like the one pushed recently..., how-lah to handle in timely manner.

Guys, as a parent, I am now concerned.

iQiyi is one of the "coming soon" app.

I went through the smart tv version.
Unlike Netflix, there is no PIN to protect age-inappropriate content.

I can even find mature content with tits galore and sex humping inside iQiyi.

I am not against whatever it is that makes you squirt h as long as it's behind protected door for your own discrete consumption, not bared open for kids to find without even looking for it.
