If you're getting the following error on your PVR box when trying to access On Demand (VOD) feature:
- Network interruption, please try again later. If problem persists, please WhatsApp HELP to 03- 9543 3838.
(Code: V6A / V63 / V65)
- Unable to load the On Demand Catalogue due to failure in resolving server's DNS address. Please check your internet connection and try again later. (V6B)
This error message appears because you're trying to access a service that has been discontinued.
Please be informed that Video on Demand (VOD) services has been discontinued on Astro PVR boxes starting 31 December 2025, 12:01 AM. This is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance customer's viewing experience as PVR boxes are no longer able to support the advanced features and viewing quality available on our newer boxes due to technology limitations.
To continue enjoying Video on Demand (VOD) content on Astro set-top-boxes, you must upgrade your PVR box to an Ultra or Ulti Box. This upgrade is available at no additional cost for PVR box users, and it gives you access to the latest features and an improved viewing experience. Alternatively, if you don't want to upgrade your PVR box, you can continue to access On Demand content anytime via Astro GO, which is available at no additional cost to all Astro customers.
All other regular PVR features including the recording feature will remain available.
To find out more on this upgrade offer, contact Astro customer service at 03-95433838.
As a rule of thumb, this issue might happen when the devices are not equipped with minimum requirement above that supports the subscribed internet speeds:
- WiFi technology
- Network Interface Card (NIC)
As mentioned above however, it is important to note that despite meeting the device minimum requirements, it is not a guarantee that devices connected over WiFi will be able to achieve maximum subscribed internet speeds due to the following:
- Bad WiFi signal quality and coverage across the area due to:
- Distance from the RGW/Mesh AP with connected device
- Obstruction within the house (walls, metallic surfaces)
- Interference with other household appliances
- Congested bandwidth
- If there are too many devices connected to the WiFi network, then the bandwidth might be overloaded with traffic hence, slowing down the speed
- Devices are connected using WiFi instead of wired using LAN.
- It is important to note that wired connection offers better reliability and speed over WiFi.
- WiFi is more prone to interference compared to a wired connection which causes lower speeds and dropped signal.
- Router Positioning: Most people underestimate the importance of picking a good spot for a Wi-Fi router. Even a small shift in positioning could end up being the difference between day and night:
- High vs. Low: Put the router as high up as possible to extend the broadcasting range of the radio waves. This also helps clear the router of possible interferences.
- Concrete & Metals: Make sure your router isn’t blocked by any other objects, especially devices that are electronic. Also, avoid placing your router in your basement as this area is usually enclosed by a lot of concrete, which can be almost impossible for Wi-Fi signals to penetrate.
- Distance to Router: The further away from your router you get, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal. Therefore, the best option is to place your router as close to your devices as possible, but this is only practical if you have one main area where you tend to use your devices. Otherwise, you should place your router near the center of your home. After all, Wi-Fi broadcasts in 360 degrees, so it doesn’t make sense to put it at one end of the house.
- Usage
- More likely, however, is that the people on your network such as friends, roommates, or family members are participating in bandwidth-heavy activities like gaming and streaming Ultrabox/Netflix.
- Fortunately, if this is the case, you can prioritize your own network traffic by enabling Quality of Service in your router settings.
- If the problem persists, please run a Ping Test/Traceroute Test and attach the picture or screenshot of both test results in the Feedback Form below, in order for us to provide further assistances. Please make sure to attach the required screenshot(s) in ONE file (i.e. Microsoft Word document, PDF, Image file) before submitting the form.
Note:
Astro and its service providers will not offer any guarantees for compatibility of the customer's equipment (e.g., Personal Computer, Notebook, printers) nor provide on site troubleshooting for WiFi service issues related to the customer's equipment.
