The Astro app is generally available on selected:
- Android TV / Google TV
- Samsung Smart TV (selected models)
- LG Smart TV (selected models)
Kindly check that your Smart TV supports the Astro Smart TV app (kindly refer here).
If your TV uses a different operating system (e.g., older proprietary OS), the Astro app may not be available.
2. Update your TV software.
Go to: Settings → Support → Software Update
Install any available updates, then restart the TV and try again.
3. Search the correct app store.
- Samsung: Apps
- LG: LG Content Store
- Android/Google TV: Google Play Store
Search for "Astro" or "Astro GO" (depending on your region and service availability).
4. If your TV's region is set incorrectly, certain apps may not appear.
Look under: Settings → General → Location/Region
Ensure it matches your actual country.
If you are still having issues, proceed to submit report via WhatsApp or Feedback Form and provide:
- Astro ID use

- Error reported on device
This will help our support team investigate and assist you further.
Intermittent internet connection using LAN cable
Looks like there is something wrong with your service connection.
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.

Intermittent internet connection using Wi-Fi
1. 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.
i) 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.
ii) 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.
iii) 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.
2. Wireless Interference & Noise
You've probably never noticed but there are wireless signals all around you wherever you go and they're passing through you all the time. From where? Electronic devices, Wi-Fi routers, satellites, cell towers, and more.
Although Wi-Fi is supposed to be on a different frequency than most of these devices, the amount of radio noise can still cause interference. Some common causes of interference include:
i) Microwaves
ii) Bluetooth Devices
iii) Cordless Phone
3. Surrounding Wi-Fi signals
A truth of the modern world is that every household has their own Wi-Fi network, which can cause issues with channel overlap. This can be somewhat problematic in a townhouse, but is especially problematic in housing complexes and apartments where there can be many routers within close proximity.
Which is why it's important that you pick a good channel in your router settings. Modern routers can choose channels for you automatically, but sometimes it's better to investigate and find the best channel yourself.
4. 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.

4. Reconnect to Wi-Fi (if using Wi-Fi)
- Go to your TV's network settings.
- Select your home Wi-Fi network and choose Forget Network.
- Reconnect to the Wi-Fi network by entering the password again.
5. Check Other Devices
- Verify that other devices in your home (such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops) can connect to the same Wi-Fi network.
- If all devices are unable to connect, the issue may be with your internet service.
6. Restart Your Devices
- Turn off and restart the following devices:
- Router

- Launch the Astro app again and test the playback.

While this technology has its benefits, different devices at home have different reaction and response to changes in signal strength and quality, and it's almost impossible to predict if they will make good band choices due to the interaction between the devices and the Wifi router. Some smart home devices also recommend that band steering is not used due to various reasons such as needing a constant consistent connection, ability to only connect to a particular band, registration of the respective MAC address, etc..
Example:
As single SSID is used, the device may remain on a weak 5GHz network instead of switching over to stronger 2.4GHz network.
