Changes to HBO Content Access
These enhancements come as Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and Astro’s partnership model going forward will change how HBO content is accessed on Astro. From 1st March 2026, the HBO Max app will continue to be available to Astro customers as a standalone a la carte subscription. As such, HBO HD, Cinemax HD, HBO Family, and HBO Hits will no longer be available on Astro starting 1st March 2026.
Astro said in a statement, “We understand how important this service is to many of our customers. Customers on existing bundle packages who wish to continue enjoying HBO’s content can subscribe to HBO Max as an a la carte add‑on via Astro from RM24.90/month, with access to HBO Originals, blockbuster movies, and exclusive series. There will be no changes for Astro customers who currently subscribe to HBO Max as an add‑on.”
To ensure customers continue to enjoy a strong and diverse entertainment experience, the four new channels, Astro Showtime, Rock X Stream, Rock Action and Astro FAM Time, will offer a fresh selection of popular titles. Movies and Astro One Epic Pack customers will also continue to have access to Prime Video and Disney+ at no additional cost, along with HITS Movies HD (CH 401) and Astro Showcase (CH 413), which feature blockbuster premieres, award-winning titles and a wide range of genres.
