What is in the new Astro One bundles
From 1 May 2026, new and existing customers signing up for the Astro One Entertainment Pack pay a promotional RM74.90 per month, and the Sports Pack tier is at RM94.90 per month. Both tiers now include Netflix as part of the subscription, with streaming on Astro GO across up to two devices simultaneously, alongside complimentary access to a newly introduced Blockbuster Pack for 24 months.
What the Blockbuster Pack adds
The Blockbuster Pack is built around four newly launched channels: Astro Showtime on CH 411, Astro FAM Time on CH 412, Rock Action on CH 414, and Rock X Stream on CH 415. The mix tilts toward movies and entertainment, with Astro Showtime and Astro FAM Time aimed at general entertainment audiences and the Rock-branded channels leaning into action and streaming content. The 24-month complimentary window means subscribers do not pay extra for the pack across the contract.
Why it matters for Malaysian subscribers
The headline here is bundle simplification. Malaysian households commonly stack Astro (for linear TV and sports) with Netflix (for on-demand streaming) and one or two other streamers. Astro's pitch is that the Entertainment Pack at RM74.90 with Netflix included is meaningfully cheaper than maintaining a separate Astro plan and a standard Netflix subscription, particularly at the multi-device tier. For households that want live sports as well, the Sports Pack at RM94.90 with Netflix is the equivalent move on the sports side.
The other read is competitive. Astro is up against Netflix-direct subscriptions, Disney+ Hotstar, HBO Max, Prime Video, and the various streaming-only options Malaysian viewers can sign up to separately. Folding Netflix into the linear Astro bill and adding 24 months of new movie channels at no extra cost is a retention play (against churn to streaming-only) and a value play (against single-app pricing).
What to check before signing up
A few specifics worth confirming with Astro directly: whether the Netflix tier included is the standard or basic plan, whether the Astro GO 2-device limit affects Netflix simultaneous-stream limits, and what the price reverts to after the 24-month promotional window for the Blockbuster Pack. Standard Astro terms and conditions apply to the bundle, so the small print is worth scanning before the contract starts running.
The takeaway
If you already pay for Astro and Netflix separately, the new Astro One Entertainment Pack at RM74.90 with both included (plus four new Blockbuster channels for 24 months) is the bundle worth re-pricing against your current bills. The Sports Pack at RM94.90 makes the same case for households that need live football, MotoGP, and the rest of the Astro sports lineup.
