KUALA LUMPUR, Feb. 16 -- Astro will discontinue HBO channels from March 1, 2026 and introduce four new channels under its Movies and Astro One Epic Pack, marking the end of a partnership that dates back to 1996.

HBO was part of Astro's original pay TV channel lineup when the satellite broadcaster launched in 1996. After nearly 30 years on the platform, the HBO channels will no longer be available on Astro starting next month.

Starting March 1, 2026, customers subscribed to the Movies Pack and Astro One Epic Pack will get three new channels: Astro Showtime (CH 411), Rock Action (CH 414) and Rock X Stream (CH 415). A fourth channel, Astro FAM Time (CH 412), will be available from April 1, 2026.
