As Max by Warner Bros. Discovery launches today in Malaysia, Astro also announced that all customers can now enjoy access to the app on Astro GO and On Demand. Max is also available to download on the Apple Store and Google Play Store.

During the weekend, Astro announced that all Astro customers enjoy a free preview of 10 selected channels on TV and Astro GO. This is a gesture of appreciation for the support received at the Putra Brand Awards 2022.

Astro today announced that in line with its promise to deliver the best viewing experience to customers, it is adding 4 new streaming apps to its Ulti Box. These include the iQIYI, TVBAnywhere+, beIN SPORTS CONNECT and BBC Player apps.

In conjunction with the introduction of the Disney+ Hotstar app appearing on the Astro Ulti Box, Astro is also pleased to introduce some new updates for the Ultra and Ulti Boxes, as well as Astro Go. Astro users can now make use of the Multi-User profile, thumbnail viewing, search enhancements and launching Netflix directly.

Just last night (19 April), Astro's services - Astro Go and On-Demand went offline due to technical issues. However, it seems that both services are now restored before 9 AM this morning. If you own either one of them, you can check if the service is alright now or restart the devices.

Today, Astro just announced that all the subscribers will have a free preview of all its movies and Korean channels on TV and Astro Go. The company just recently won a couple of awards at the Putra Brand Awards 2021 so as a gesture of goodwill, the free viewing will begin on 29 January until 6 February 2022.

Today, Astro has finally announced that Netflix is now officially on Astro TV. Besides that, there is also an all-new Astro pack designed for customers, allowing them to stream all the shows on Ultra Box and soon, Ulti Box alongside Disney+ Hotstar, HBO Go, iQIYI, TVBAnywhere+ and more. 

Update - Astro have also extended their complimentary viewing!

Nope, this is not an April's Fool joke. Astro will be reorganizing the numbers on their channel on 1 April 2020. According to their PR statement, this is to provide their Astro customers with a better viewing experience including Astro GO and NJOI (really?). Anyway, since there are more than 100 HD channels, the company will move them to higher positions. 

We all need things to do since we're stuck at home due to the Movement Control Order, so what better way to pass the time than watching TV shows? Astro has announced that it will be providing Astro GO to all Malaysians for free during this period of time! Of course, not all channels will be available but this is a good chance to watch some shows you haven't been able to.

And just like that, the Raya holiday is over and a bunch of news just burst through our doors. Father's Day is just around the corner so check out what Shopee has in store for you, you get to trade-in old OPPO phones for the latest Reno series which is nice, ASUS Malaysia finally launched new lightweight VivoBook Ultra series from RM2699 and...oh, Huawei going boldly by saying their HongMeng OS is 60% faster than Android, requesting trademark approval on HongMeng OS in several countries, as well as inviting developers to publish their apps on AppGallery.
