Astro Go in Smart TV, Android TV, TV Box (Updated 26 JUN 2021 & Still working in 2024)

Smart TV, TV Box & Android TV widely available.
However, a lot of TV Box seller provide some information whereby I personally think is inaccurate especially on free live TV channel.
FYI, most of the “free” IPTV channel provided by unofficial source are unreliable due to they don’t have budget to support high bandwidth and spec of IPTV server.

Astro, one of Malaysia Pay TV has provide mobile and web application to watch on demand content or even live TV channel for their subscriber.

Most of the people would love to use this app to watch on TV.
Astro GO app previously able to install in most of TV Box in the market.
However, latest version of the app only can install in mobile phone plus unable to cast screen to TV.

Now, Astro GO app unable to login even with the correct credential if you install in TV Box or even in Android TV OS.

There are few solution for this.

  • HDMI cable extend screen to TV and use Astro GO website.
  • Cast Chrome desktop screen (Astro GO website) to Android TV

Google Chrome Browser Menu

If anyone encounter black screen while cast to TV, kindly disable the Chrome “Hardware Acceleration” settings as the below screenshot.
