actually both astro and tm comes with bein. Tm comes with viu and bein app. Astro is about rm110 for basic sports + golf. Tm is rm60 for everything.

if dont want contract get astro. Penalty for terminating is rm10 only. Avoid bein app because it is very unstable.

Yes which is unfortunate

If you already have beIN subbed on Astro, you can login to beIN Connct via "Sign in with Astro" and watch from there

Thanks for the info guys. I didn't know about beIN Sports Connect TV app/subscription for F1 until today ... luckily I check LYN before tomorrow 3/3.

Anyway, I'm trying to subscribe for Yearly Pass (RM189.90). I thought even if I don't watch all the other sports, only F1, I'll rugi only RM10.80 ... considering
- F1 2023 calendar ending 26th November and all months from March to Nov got at least one GP weekend,
- from March to November, there are 9 months,
- Monthly Pass total for 9 months = RM19.90 x 9 = RM179.10
- I'm malas wanna optimize the worth if I go for Monthly Pass (don't renew immediately if don't have GP that weekend or during summer break)

But ... I only got this:-

Issit because of the impeding subscription fee increase, that I couldn't get Yearly Pass for RM189.90 today, last day? unsure.gif

From my Sooka experience ... I've tried the mobile subscription only for 1 month, which was pre-F1, wanna watch other live sports that month ... quite okay.

But when F1 2022 season started and I added the TV subscription for RM80+ ... it asked me to 'launch' from Sooka mobile app before can start watching on my Sony TV, no direct login on the TV Google Sooka app ... ok lah, just do.
But not yet can enjoy for 10mins, it disconnected at the TV app and asked to 'launch' again from mobile ... I contacted Customer Support ... nothing helpful ... told me to check my mobile app, etc.

In the end, I gave up, just watch on my TV thru browser ... seems lower quality/resolution.

After that month, back to Jack Sparrow. Don't say I don't wanna support legit ways arr ... just that the bad experience isn't worth the money on TV. If only watching on mobile, then go for it.

Hopefully beIN Sports Connect app on Android TV will be better.

So, now don't know if it'll charge me RM189.90 or RM229 (as mentioned by slaveone), after 10 March.
