That’s right, Astro has an all-new viewing experience that makes catching up on all your beloved content from different streaming platforms easier than ever — and less expensive too.
Available to stream on the Ultra Box, and soon on the Ulti Box, Netflix is the latest addition to Astro’s growing content lineup, such as HBO GO, Disney+ Hotstar, TVBAnywhere+, and iQiyi.
With the new Astro Ultra Box, you don’t have to own a smart TV to watch Netflix, thanks to a dedicated channel (CH741) to access the streaming app.
This means you’ll get to enjoy more choices, greater value, and incredible convenience with Astro’s new packages, tailored to suit your streaming habits. 😀
1. All your favourite content from global streaming services brought together in one place
Known for showcasing the best of Malaysian and Asian entertainment, live sports coverage, and everything in between, Astro is keeping up their commitment as a one-stop entertainment centre for subscribers.
From Only Murders in the Building, exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar, to Netflix cult series Squid Game, you’ll be able to catch up on the hottest entertainment all in one place — cue date nights and super chill streaming parties. 😀
So, whether you’re watching on the big screen or your smartphone, you can switch seamlessly between classic Astro content and your other go-to streaming apps, woohoo!
2. Combine Netflix and Astro for greater value and savings
Not only do you get to stream Netflix on Astro, but you’ll also get to pay for both services conveniently in one bill, mmhmmm.
And with just a push of a button, you can switch from watching popular Astro content like Maharaja Lawak Mega, Dukun Diva, and the Premier League, to trending Netflix shows like Red Notice and Money Heist.
Want to enjoy even greater value? Sign up for Astro’s broadband bundle, and you’ll get access to a three-month subscription at no extra cost.
There are three Astro and broadband bundles to choose from. Here’s what you get if you choose Premium Pack 2:
Premium Pack 2: Entertainment Plus with Sports
Bundle price: RM 249.90
– Enjoy local and Asian content, as well as live sports, on top of Netflix (RRP: RM149.99)
– 100Mbps fast internet (RRP: RM129)
