sooka Now Available For Sony and Sharp Android TVs

Launched in June last year, Astro’s freemium service sooka is accessible through dedicated Android and iOS apps as well as web browsers. Prior to the launch, the company has already confirmed its commitment to deliver the service directly to Android TV but it is only recently that Astro has managed to fulfil that promise.

However, there are a number of caveats though. For starters, the app is only available for Sony and Sharp Android TVs at the moment according to sooka’s FAQ document right here.

If you don’t subscribe to the service’s VIP TV plan, this is the only screen that sooka Android TV app will show to you.

Additionally, you also need to sign up for the service’s VIP TV plan in order to watch sooka through your Android TV. Else, you would have just stuck at the activation screen that is shown above.

Priced at RM84.90 per month, the VIP TV is currently the most expensive sooka plan to date. In addition to having the ability to watch all the contents from sooka on their Android TV, those who signed up for the plan are also able to stream the service on two devices simultaneously.
