Five additional HD channels will be available by the next quarter. Astro B.yond IPTV also comes with Personal Video Recording services – allowing customers to pause, rewind, instant replay, series link and perform remote recording – and broadband connectivity to an ever-expanding VOD library.
Additionally Astro SuperPack customers will also enjoy complimentary access to the Astro On-The-Go (AOTG) service.
