Hello sifu's, need to get your opinions before I commit to a recontract.
At the moment I have 2 Hybrid IPTV PVR's at home (with multiroom) on 100MB bundled Broadband using the older AC1200 TP-Link Archer c5v from Astro (with RM 25 x 24 months rebate ending next year) with SuperPackPlus3.
For my next recontract, should I:
1) Migrate both my PVR's to Ultrabox and continue the bundled fiber broadband with Astro
2) De-couple my IPTV to Ultra Satellite mode and separately contract Maxis Fiber (to enjoy the Unlimited Postpaid + Fiber)
Any opinions folks? Do you know which WiFi 6 router will be provided by Astro/Maxis for a new 300MBPS?

QUOTE(Oltromen Ripot @ Nov 2 2021, 11:54 AM) i went to CSC Prai last Saturday. CS convinced me to not upgrade to Ultra yet. She explained Astro tested all TV models, and only Sharp models before 2017 (or was it also 2017?) have issue with Ultra (and I think, also Ulti). What sort of issues are faced? Just curious. |

QUOTE(Oltromen Ripot @ Nov 2 2021, 02:29 PM) reading about HDCP 2.2 Now I understand what's in play. Ok I understand better. I feel my old Sony TV KDL-48W600B does not support this HDCP 2.2 so I will not be able to use the Ultra box on it then. Is this HDCP feature requirement only applicable for UHD content?

Can I ask the Sifu's here --> Does the Astro-attached Disney+Hotstar logins support 4K (or is just HD) on compatible 4K devices/ 4K TV's? How about the Astro-attached HBO Go (does it have 4K content)? Also will we get the IMAX Enhanced MCU titles like the OG Disney+? IMAX Enhanced on Disney+ with MCU titles |

QUOTE(cdspins @ Nov 9 2021, 03:09 PM) For Disney+Hotstar, it support 4K on android 4K TVs only if the content you are watching have 4K. I'm using an AppleTV 4K Gen 2, and planning to change my HD TV to a 4K TV (I have one sitting in my store room, long story LOL). |

My old DMT 4 PVR decoder (previously operating in Hybrid mode) was replaced this morning with a DMT 5 PVR decoder.
However the replacement decoder is only operating in Satellite mode despite Hybrid installation type was selected, and no ASTRO service during heavy rain this evening.
What can I do to restore the Hybrid mode?
*The Hybrid enabler status in the replacement decoder = Bit disabled

QUOTE(ChiaW3n @ Aug 2 2022, 02:16 PM) i also like PVR box thats why when they called and ask whether if i want for the ultra box i politely declined. Same case here and now my rebates are gone and I cannot downgrade without taking the new Ultra Boxes. So I'm thinking to potong once and for all. |

Update: First officer put me on hold after i told her i wanted to downgrade my existing plan, i on hold-ed for 20 minutes the next officer pick up. Done revised my plan from legacy super pack 3 to sports pack add on chinese favourite with a multi room. Save some bucks since i am not the one who watching astro. Smart TV way better.

Hi kawan2, I want to check if I subscribe to Netflix via Astro, will my Netflix account be geographically limited (eg my catalogue will be Malaysian regardless of whether I use foreign private/company VPN)?

QUOTE(joshhd @ Dec 21 2022, 01:22 PM) I got the info that Astro IPTV (Multicast) has cease its service effective today, and remaining users will have no choice but to either migrate to Plug & Play (For IP mode customers) or satellite (for hybrid mode customers)  Any Astro IPTV users here can confirm? Yes it seems to stop working last night at midnight or so (I was doing laundry that time). I just pressed the yellow button and continue watching via satellite after that. However it seems to be working ok now (but I can't tell if it's via IP or via satellite now). |
