Hi guys,
Well I do have astro iptv, and my internet connection is obviously together with the same package as my astro. I kinda leaning towards getting a new tv box to get all those awesome streaming, so was wondering if its possible? While still using the astro iptv internet package ( my mum want the astro, so I cant cancel it unfortunately) and what box should I get? TQIA

Those TV box works using your internet. It does not and will not have any effect on your Astro IPTV whatsoever.

Perfect! Any recommendations? A friend said nvidia shield is good, I seriously don't have a clue.. too many options...

I believe you'll find more info here.

Personally, i've always prefer HTPC, old school as it may. I can game on it on demand and have better software/app flexibility.

yeah. I'm one of a htpc user. previously use full desktop as entertainment hub. but my bills skyrocket rm200+ monthly. then decided to buy barebone Intel nuc kit & build it. it costs me about rm2k in total, but my bills never exceeding rm100 now. windows 10 + android dual boot FTW

Perfect, let me just read it thru, thank you

Thank you, let me.read it thru, thank you.. ☺

Actually, the bill wont be that high if you use decent hardware. Common old mentality is, just a bare cheap set of hardwares to stream movies or minimal to play 4k vids, that's where your bill racks up. If you setup a decent rig, at least skylake i7 onwards, your cpu utilization will be very very low, thus, consuming less power. If you get older.. say... 1st/2nd gen i5, to simply play a 4k alone would put your CPU load up to 100%, that's where it hurts.

For me, since i occasionally game at the hall with my boy, therefore its pretty much a full blown gaming PC with a 1080ti. When alone i'll game on my proper PC instead

Sorry, what bill?😰😰😰😅😅😅

I believe he was reffering to electric bill. No worries if you opt for TV box or NUC, they are almost negligible.

is there any speed upgrade or price discount for astro iptv?

I believe its abit cheaper I think:

Im using 20mbps+
Mini Packages
Learning
News
Variety
Kids
Plus Packages
Metro
Indo Pek
Korean Pack
Mustika
Prime Packages
Movies
Sports
Family
Family Extra
Premium Channels
ABO All Movies
A-La-Carte Channels
Celestial Movies
Digital Radio Channels
Boo
SVOD Packages
Asian Ent. VOD
OD Free

+ another decoder.... I believe its about 4++ monthly

so confirm their iptv package is cheaper?

for people already on their package before (like me) any free upgrade?

these boxes range rm200-300, rm500-600, >rm1k.

differences in hardware, features, firmware, support, apps compatibility, video and audio output quality.

there are like 100 brands each with 3 models, plenty to choose from.

which box to get will depend on what speed u hv, what apps u want to use, how well u can use the box and.... budget.

The upgrade is free last time when I did it, not quite sure if its a promo or not.. but what I can vouch their iptv got mo issue whatsoever, unlike some of my friends who are using unifi, they always complaining.. but its kinda weird coz I thought all of them are using tm fiber optic right?

Frankly I dont have a fix budget, but I would be comfortable spending less than 1.3k I think.

Mostly are for iptv, Netflix, hulu, etc... I dont do games tho... suggestions please

if u r focused on netflix, hulu, i.e. paid IPTV and in HD/4k quality, there is only one box - nvidia shield.

becos most other boxes cannot do that in HD, due to licensing.

do visit this thread, ask the users your pertinent questions:
