Do note that this free viewing offer is available for users in Malaysia. Only 1 device is allowed per ID so other family members will need to register their own Astro ID account for their own device. According to Astro, the recommended speed is 5Mbps and it is better to use WiFi for the best experience. If you need help, you can contact Astro via WhatsApp.
