TVBAnywhere+ is the global streaming app from Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) and is available as an add on for all Astro customers. It offers a vast library of over 40,000 hours of Chinese entertainment, including the latest drama series, variety shows, evergreen classics, and unlimited TVB originals. Customers can enjoy these shows anytime, anywhere.

Key features include:

• Up to two concurrent streams per account
• Watch on the big screen via Astro’s Ultra/Ulti Box, Android TVs, and selected Samsung and LG Smart TVs.
• Subtitles and dubbing in multiple languages: major dramas are available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia.

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.

The Viu app offers subtitles in English for all content and Bahasa Malaysia for selected content.
Additionally, dubbing in Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Indonesia and Cantonese is also available for
selected titles. You will be able to select or switch off subtitles and dubbing when you play
videos in full screen.

There are some quick fixes that will solve most problems, but you may have to get your hands a little dirty.

1. Try loading the site on a different device.
   • Try loading the website on your phone or on another computer. If the website loads on the other device, the problem lies with your computer.

2. Restart your computer.
   • Oftentimes, a simple reboot will fix the problem you're having. Reboot your computer and test the website again.
3. Try loading the site in a different browser.
   • There may be some settings configured incorrectly on your browser. Try a different web browser to see if you can load the website.
4. Temporarily disable your antivirus program.
   • Your antivirus software may be interfering with your ability to load certain websites.
   • Try disabling the software and then loading the site again. Make sure you enable it again once you have identified the problem.
5. Reset your modem and router.
   • Traffic to or from a certain website may be getting tripped up by your modem or router. Resetting these devices may allow you to access the website again.
6. Check your computer's date and time settings.
   • If your date or time is set incorrectly, you may not be able to connect to secure (https://) websites.
   • Check your computer or mobile device's clock to make sure that it is set to the correct time and date.

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 ensure 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.

However, the blocking of SMS sent by businesses via short codes such as 6XXXX, 3XXXX, 2XXXX and 1XXXX will be implemented at a later phase. In response to this government initiative, Astro customers will no longer receive SMS bills effective 1 August 2023. This change will be carried out in phases.
