Astro uses variable bit rate, so it is constantly changing all the time, depending on the scene and motion of the video.

Seems like there's multiple Astro users are facing the same "Please insert the correct smart card" issue, this makes me wonder why it happens 

A software bug in the ultra box that causes data corruption on the sim card/smart card?

I have an ASTRO IPTV in my apartment with 10Mbps asked to upgrade to 30Mbps and was told not supported. What is so ironic is that my neighbor has a stand alone 30Mbps maxis fiber! Informed Astro about that, was told to change mine to Dish setup and apply for standalone 30Mbps. Why can they just upgrade? Can anyone explains why?

🤔, if there’s any technical issues such as decoder kaput, requires installer to fix at customers premises, wonder how would astro handle that?
If wait till after 1st April, customers would probably not be happy with Astro

This...

Literally appeared, for less than 1 minute.

Now Fox Movies already resumes as usual.
I don't remember whether many other channels shows this or not...

Wanna ask this Sharp TV model got problem or not? Coz I plugged astro to this tv and all I got is just sound and the HDCP nonsense

Hopefully they are not going to cut Wrestlemania this weekend. The past 2 years they cut off some parts of Wrestlemania just to fit local ads. WTF betul

I'm facing similar issue too! I am using Astro Ultrabox, but it should be the same right? Chatted with Astro and Unifi's customer service, both saying that there is no issue on their end.
This happened since yesterday midnight.

Hahahaha so the issue is with Astro? So I just gotta wait till they resolve it? Actually my mum's the one that's watching but looking at it buffering irritates me.

Ah I see, I'm assuming you are facing the same issue as well?

Weird leh...

I'm using Maxis Fibre, and I do not experience any streaming issues on Astro Go now.
Few hours ago, there is some poor video quality issue, but right now seems normal ady.
Some TM's CDN for Astro streaming server related issue?

But weird thing is, why is this issue starts today?
Previous days I try using Astro Go, no issue also.

Even "Connected PVR" users are facing some issues now.

That banner won't go away.

So I would call this Astro Streaming Server Crisis 2020, as it affected pretty much all streaming services from Astro, from VOD to Astro Go.

Hey guys does anyone know how to solve my issue? My Astro Ultra Box have been working fine until a few days ago after a power trip during a thunderstorm. Since then my Ultra Box is facing an issue where it is unable to connect to internet through wifi. Anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to solve this problem?

Defective Ultra box ?

HBO broadcast that movie to all it’s pay TV operators then Astro can replace the show/ movie with another one?

Comedy Central on Unifi TV does not delay the channel by 1 hour like Astro.

Last time Astro said because Comedy Central channel shall now reach to more viewers as the channel brought to the TV platform, and Unifi TV viewer's isn't as much as Astro, so delay by 1 hour is "necessary".

Delay 1 hour is one thing. But who knows, what they do is just slotting in ads, and nothing else?
Like now, reduced workforce in Astro...
The channel delay is still there, but who knows in reality, they aren't modifying the content also, besides putting that text scroller randomly, telling viewers to stay at home to stop the spread of COVID-19?

You think the censorshipman is so hardworking to monitor 24/7 on every single channels to see if there's "unsuitable content"? I don't think so. You think what, China is it? 😂

By any chance and at any point of time, if the censorshipman on Astro is slacking off at work, I would rather see them not letting the public know it, cuz for sure "those communities" will make noise.

What you mean by "Delay can be due to available program slot and program priority."? What I mean is, the delaying works done by Astro themselves, not from channel provider.

Standard censorship on TV broadcasts sure would have, such as censoring F words, which is quite common sense la...
I'd rather see the censorship works being done by the channel provider themselves, rather than Astro meddling with their channel, including delaying few minutes from the original.
IMO, Astro is being very extra to go and delay the feed for the sake of censorship. Duh, as if Malaysia's crime rate will confirm go down a lot if they do that 

Same goes to Comedy Central... It is more adult oriented, and I believe most of the shows are rated 18, that's why they think it is necessary to delay it, to "screen" the content and see if there's "unsuitable elements to Malaysians".
Seriously, if those viewer don't like the channel, instead of go complain to Astro for "promoting/encouraging negative values the youths", why not they just set a PIN to Channel Block it or use Parental Control feature?
We're not paying Astro to censor content la 

Basically means, use your laptop, and open Astro Go using browser.
Connect HDMI to your TV.

Tablets that supports display output (either HDMI or VGA, or any), can just output it to whatever screens you want (TV, projectors, monitor, etc).

Anyhow, it shall be wired connection, and not wireless type like Chromecast or Miracast.
