If you have super pack it should be included already

Current movie pack is hbo,Cinemax,fox movies,fox action movies,fox family movies,tvn movies
But the 3 fox channels under Disney going to be taken off air in October

If you're an Astro customer but did not subscribe to Movies pack, you can still enjoy Disney+ by adding RM5 on your Astro bill. But for those who subscribe to Family pack (RM39.95), the same rule applies; you cannot add on any packs/services, including Disney+ Hotstar. Therefore you must be in Starter pack and above to do so.
Hmm I don’t think I read anywhere that if you did not subscribe movie pack you can get Disney + by adding RM5.you need to have movie pack/any Superpack that includes Movie pack in order to enjoy Disney+. So if you have Starter pack it will be Starter pack + movie pack price and not starter pack + RM5 Disney+ addon

So my current package is 92.55 and Astro is telling I need to pay 121.90 to upgrade to super pack lite movies when they are offering it on their website for 97.50 lol
So much effort to go thru, just to give them extra revenue lol

I will buy 1 share of Astro and raise this up in the shareholders meeting.let see what the directors say about it
Make me excited on promos and end up cannot get lol

Maybe it’s like FOXTEL IQ4 box where you can access your Netflix account as well
FYI Astro TV current CEO is from foxtel

The prices you see on their website, is only applicable for new customers only, and that rebate amount only lasts for 12 or 24 months. Means from 13th or 25th month onwards, it will revert back to the original monthly price. So unless you are new Astro customer, please read the T&Cs carefully ya.
The pricing that is being highlighted on Astro website (https://product.astro.com.my/tv) is cater for new customers only. Example:

Value Pack	RM80.00 RM64.00
Starter Pack	RM61.32 RM49.06
Super Pack Lite (Movies)	RM115.00 RM92.00

The price that marked "strikethrough" is actually the package's original pricing, and that is the price that existing Astro customers should refer to.
Super Pack Lite (Movies) of RM115 now, shall become RM120 from June 2021 onwards (price excl. SST)
1. Yeah totally understand the discount is limited to 24 months only
2. The CS suggested me to try calling the tele marketing team in order to check if I’m eligible for the same pricing on the Astro website
They do sound a bit surprised when I said I wanted to upgrade my package at a promotional price rather than keeping my current package that I have at a lower rate, when I initially stated that I wanted to terminate my current package
3.Don’t understand why Astro wants to give itself and customers so much administrative hassle,should have just allowed the subscribers to change their plan on the website to whatever promotion available and still following the tnc which is the 12 or 24 months contract whichever applicable.rather than giving themselves more problem to solve, when there are pricing differences issue and needs to involve MCMC or asking customer to terminate existing plan and getting a new plan
Anyway this will be one of the question to the CEO in this year Astro shareholders meeting

Well let’s think it logically my current package is 92.55,if they were to allow me to get the special promo price easily only they could have a happy customer and earn extra 5 per month.5x 12 is 60 per year and let’s just assume 100,000 customers have the same plan as I do and wants to upgrade so that’s 7.2m in a year of lost revenue or 14.4 million (considering the RM5 price increase effective next month)
And this “administrative hassle cost” might have cost Astro even more (consider the man hours wasted to handle complaints relating to price differential)
Anyway I guess this is not the place for us to argue about these.in conclusion, you want to save money on your subscription it would be an “administrative hassle”

Let’s just go back to Disney + on Astro, technicalities of the STB and channel discussion

Quoting an article on variety.com

Disney said that it has signed multi-year content supply agreements with leading Malaysian studios including Skop Productions, Revolution Media Films, Primeworks Studios, WAU Animation, Act 2 Pictures, Les’ Copaque Production and Red Films.

This enables Disney Plus Hotstar to include new Malaysian movies and series at launch or shortly afterwards. Several “will skip theaters and launch straight on the streaming service,” Disney said.

These include “J2: J Retribusi,” from Primeworks, TGV and Infinitus; “Zombitopia” from Skop; and horror picture “Ada Hantu,” starring Hairul Azreen. Another, “Ejen Ali The Movie 2,” will also stream exclusively on the platform after a theatrical run.

The platform has also licensed a library full of other Malaysian content including films like “J Revolusi,” Tombiruo,” “KL Special Force,” “Ejen Ali The Movie,” “Upin & Ipin: Keris Siamang Tunggal,” “Munafik,” “Istanbul Aku Datang!,” the Rock franchise (“Rock,” “Rock Oo!,” “Rock Bro!,” and “Rock 4: Rockers Never Dai”), “Talentime, Mukhsin,” “The Kid From The Big Apple 2,” “Vedigundu Pasangge,” “Evolusi KL Drift 1 & 2,” “KL Gangster 1 & 2,” “Gol & Gincu 1 & 2,” “Guang” and “Redha and Roh.” Acquired local series include “Wifi Sebelah Rumah” and “Semanis Senyumanmu.”

Reflecting the country’s multi-ethnic roots, the platform will also host smaller bundles of Indian and Chinese-language titles. This includes Hindi and Tamil language films and series “Thuppakki,” “Pandian Stores,” and “Vishwaroopam 2,” as well as shows brought over from Star Vijay. Chinese films include Hong Kong-made titles “Infernal Affairs,” “Linewalker 2,” and “Ip Man 4”, and mainland Chinese offerings include “The Deer and the Cauldron,” “The Legend of Haolan” and recent Taiwan art house title “Silent Forest.”

Looks like a lot of focus on local content

Ok an update to my case
After keep on arguing my case with Astro CS they finally changed tone and reply as per below
1. Existing subscribers are eligible too for website promotions with some terms and conditions. They mentioned something about promo code for existing customers not yet loaded in the backend system when the Customer Resolution team called
2. We wish to inform you that we have checked your account background and we have requested from Business Team for your account to be honored with the 20% discount of your current subscription for 24-months contract. This is based on your loyalty of account since 20XX and a good payment standing
Case closed

Astro CEO reply is censorship and content control is under the control of the streaming site, as now it’s not regulated by government

My guess you need to cut your own Netflix subscription as it will link to your Astro ID
Let’s wait for the details

Erm mentioned in the AGM just now.need to wait for AGM minutes to be released within 30 days

All blame Astro,repeated show Astro fault when it’s the content provider issue lol(unless it’s Astro owned channel then correct to blame astro) 😂

Astro CEO in this afternoon AGM state that is the purpose of the 30% backup transponder satellite capacity, to tackle issues like this outage.apparently they are only using 70%
