Astro Movie Pack

Bro & Sis,

Is it worth it to add RM25 per month for Astro Movie Package ?

SD Channels = HBO + Cinemax + Fox Movies

HD Channels = HB0 HD + Fox Family Movie HD + Fox Movie HD + Fox Action Movies HD + tvN Movies HD

just take Netflix better

Astro useless if not for the Sports package

Online TV not so HD ( clear ) compare to Astro HD Channels .. and I dont like lagging...

In my experience, its the other way around. Astro HD PQ is not as good as what's available via Netflix or Amazon Prime Videos and no lag. Of course you will need a good broadband service as well as good hardware. I had 30mbps previously and 50mbps now, with Ethernet and a good tv box or smart tv. If anything in your network chain is weak, then it may buffer frequently and you may get poor quality video.
If you use ahem service then for sure the quality and user experience will usually suck.

Astro is good for channel surfing. I have the movie pack included and hardly use it. For me its not worth it for movies, better get Netflix.

Im using unifi lite .. Astro is easier to operate for family members, online a bit difficult for them too turn on , and for HQ u need faster speed on net

is it not worth it to throw a RM25 for this few channels ?

If it suits your use case, then by all means go ahead and get it. That's the reason I still have it as well, some family members prefer to use Astro since its easy to channel surf instead of having to choose what to watch.

Just wondering to potong movie package. Keep repeating the same movies all the year.

Depends your need. My house Astro left Chinese show package only and long ago unsubscribe those mostly dated English channel.

I subscribe Netflix because Netflix is freaking clear from Full HD up to 4K HDR with 0 lagging issue. Also Netflix original series is freaking awesome where only Netflix can see.

But off course you need to have 10mbps line for Full HD stream and minimum 30mbps for 4K stream, recommended 40mbps and above for no quality drop stream in 4K HDR.

Video quality is where Astro unmanaged to compete especially their English channel video quality is bad. Astro Chinese or Malay or Hindi HD is good quality but still cannot compete with Netflix quality where minimum near blu-ray quality for HD title up to near Ultra-HD blu-ray quality for 4K title.

Astro movies channels is useless..
They only good for Malay & news (awani) content..
Others can throw dustbin 😈

No 4K no subtitles. Rubbish.

If only RM25/monthly include movies with HD channels (Include family HD), then acceptable.
Else, you just ignore the ads.. Nothing much attractive for their campaign..

Unless you like to watch ball..

Maybe after few days the admin will saw this straight away close thread.
If HBO Asia, then it's ok for it.. Bcoz there is no censored under Asia feed but different in Malaysia feed.

Malaysia feed all censored one..
Its government policy...
Any channel must follows the rule set...

How to know which quality movie is playing on Netflix? Internet speed not so stable

If internet not stable, it is not good do streaming as you will keep seen pixelate image from time to time due to resolution drop.
