KUALA LUMPUR, 14 February 2026 – Astro will refresh its Movies and Astro One Epic Pack with the launch of four brand-new channels, bringing greater variety, value, and premium content to viewers at home. As we continue evolving under the Astro One experience, these enhancements reflect our commitment to delivering a better and more enjoyable entertainment experience.
Starting 1 March 2026, customers subscribed to the Movies and Astro One Epic Pack can look forward to:
Astro Showtime (CH 411)
Spotlighting the very best titles from Hollywood and beyond, Astro Showtime (CH 411) will launch with an exciting slate of blockbuster hits and acclaimed favourites, including Violent Night, Jurassic World Dominion, Beast, and Snow White and the Huntsman, giving viewers instant access to premium cinematic entertainment from day one.

Delivering nonstop, adrenaline‑charged action, Rock Action (CH 414) debuts with a high‑octane lineup featuring explosive fan favourites like Miami Vice, Rambo Trilogy, Godzilla Minus One, Ghostbusters, and Captain Phillips. Built for thrill‑seekers, the channel keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very first frame.
Rock X Stream (CH 415)
Bringing together the best of prestige TV and premium streaming, Rock X Stream (CH 415) offers a curated slate of acclaimed, high‑quality series including See, Mr. Robot, Black Sails, Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, and more. Designed for discerning viewers seeking cinematic visuals, bold storytelling, and standout performances, this one‑stop destination delivers premium entertainment with the polish and impact of big‑budget streaming.
Additionally, beginning 1 April 2026, another new channel will be made available to customers.
Astro FAM Time (CH 412)
Astro FAM Time (CH 412) brings family-friendly favourites and feel-good entertainment to audiences of all ages. At launch, the channel will premiere heartwarming and uplifting titles such as Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Minions: The Rise of Gru, Johnny English Reborn, and more, making it the perfect destination for shared movie moments at home.
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 1 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 1 March 2026.
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.
Astro remains committed to delivering convenience and a seamless entertainment experience. With a curated blend of channels and integrated global streaming apps, we bring together a rich variety of content in one platform. Our customers are at the heart of every decision we make, and the introduction of these new channels reflects our ongoing promise to offer more choice, more value, and more excitement.
