More competition for astro 😈😈😈

“Nowadays, all you need to do is just sit on your sofa, flip the channels on TV and you can see the difference in the quality of the programmes and the presentation.

As at its first financial quarter (1Q) ended April 30, 2018, Astro is presently available in 5.5 million households, or 75% of the country’s households.

Well PH is not BN.. All minister knows what they talking about..

Where the budget allocated went to?? U know leh... Songlap here & there... Claimed extra from actual cost...

Yup. It including all type of astro... Illegal not included because the authorities don't know the figure

Android TV OS also has the Astro go app I believe. But it's a little sluggish.

I wonder if it will be allowed to show the UHD feeds if indeed this is how Astro plans to roll out UHD .

Help guys, I am going gila soon!

I'm using centralized satellite. One month ago, my Astro suddenly cannot be booted up.

Replace with a new Astro decoder, now no longer Samsung, but China brand, made in Thailand decoder given by Astro.

With the new decoder, I am having two issues:-
- sudden lost of sound
- hdmi error 60

As I've a tv box, I've tested for a week or so, and both having lost of sound issue.

As such, just a few days ago, I've change my tv motherboard.

Lost of sound is solved with the change of new tv motherboard.

But the hdmi error 60 remained. Ironically, my tv box has no hdmi issue at all.

Assuming this should be Astro decoder issue, today get Astro to change to new decoder and new hdmi cable.

After watching for a few hours, the hdmi error 60 appeared again.

The hdmi error will go away when I switch off either Astro decoder or tv power adapter, and switch on again.

But this hdmi error 60 will appear intermittently, whenever it like.

When this error appeared, I got no problem watching sd channel. All HD channel will be blank screen with sound only.

What should I do now? I am clueless!

Should I buy 24k gold plated hdmi to test? Or switch hdmi port?

Could it be due to centralized satellite cable issue?

My friend staying in the same condo, different block and unit is having the same hdmi issue, but not frequent, only once or twice per month.

Previously using Astro Samsung decoder, there is lost of audio n video intermittently on certain HD channel(some channel like 300 n 306 can watch, but 332 n 532 cannot watch), but SD channel has no problem. When this happened, I go to stb diagnostics, there is lost of signal, it appeared 65%, then 0% within seconds. Switch off Astro decoder or tv power cable not able to solve this issue. The problem will go away itself after a few minutes while i switch to watch sd channel.

As for my current hdmi error 60 issue, I go stb diagnostics, no lost of signal, signal is stable.

I do not know if it's related, but just telling everything I observed and tested.

Please help 

tv is sharp hdtv
tv box is tanix 3 (capable of 4K)
Astro stb is the lastest China brand given by Astro
Tv box n tv no problem only Astro problem

Android Box itself not illegal what.. 

You can now download the HBO Go app

Malaysians with an Astro Movies Pack subscription can finally download the HBO Go app and watch shows and movies on the move.

The app is available on both the Google Play and Apple App stores, and the service is also accessible via the website www.hbogoasia.my.

Users will be able to watch HBO original series like Game Of Thrones, The Wire, Veep and Westworld, as well as Hollywood movies, documentaries and cartoons.

Previously, selected HBO content was available through the Astro Go app and website.

HBO Go allows users to download up to 20 shows for offline viewing and the app supports Airplay and Chromecast for streaming content to a bigger screen. Users can also view HBO Go on two concurrent streams.

Astro says in a press statement that the content will be offered in full HD if available.

Non-Astro Movies pack subscribers will only be able to view content under the Without Registration tab. However, they will be limited to 40-second preview clips, behind the scenes featurettes and trailers for upcoming shows.

To gain access to the full library, they will have to commit to an Astro Movies Pack subscription which starts from RM71.95 for the Movies Bundle package. The subscription includes HBO, Cinemax and Fox Movies.

New users will also have to pay a one-time installation fee of RM199, which will be reduced to RM99 if they agree to a 24-month contract. The offer comes with a HD decoder.

Yikes. Can't they have another option so subscribers can get HBO GO for less?

Can't they offer HBO and HBO HD as a separate pack like the others out there?
Starhub (SG) and Indihome (ID) do offer separate HBO packs with complimentary access to HBO GO for less than RM 20 - 45.

Oh, wait. You can't. There are no separate HBO packs for Astro because it's not possible.

i guess they have exclusive contract here with Astro

deswai Unifi don't have HBO channels

Maybe that time is beta so not many users.
Plus Fox will not even notice Astro did that.
Now official release have to remove all of that.
But at least we know it is possible to beam all Astro channels to the internet.
And also Unifi did have all Fox channels on their playTV platform, but after a few months they remove it.
Maybe someone at Fox did not like it.

I saw in their Facebook page that they made it available back but only until 30th September

That sucks. It's really convenient to have it available thru the smart TV OS. I believe BBC and iTV have similar apps in the UK and I wish it is offered even as a paid app as a option to those who don't want the physical 2nd decoder.

I guess if all else fails, then it would mean people actually sideloading the new app to android boxes. Does it work well on the Q10 pro?
