Back at the end of June, Astro made a surprise announcement of a new partnership with Netflix. Many wondered when will the popular movie-tv/streaming app will make its app to Astro, but it may be quite soon. In fact, Astro just told us that they have released a new remote control for the Ultra box with a dedicated Netflix button.
According to Astro, the new remote control is more or less the same as the previous model. It has all the existing features but with the aforementioned Netflix button which users can jump straight to the Netflix homepage after pushing it. You can also see three more buttons nearby which as apps, movies and sports. For those using the current version of the Ultra Box remote, customers can still access Netflix and future apps via the Astro homepage.
With the new Ultra Box remote control, we think it's a good signal that Netflix is coming real soon but Astro is still tightlipped about it. The company is still citing "coming months", though, so it may take a while. To learn more about Netflix on Astro, you can visit the official webpage here and get yourself registered if interested.
The dedicated Netflix button has been a staple in many remote controls over the years so it only makes sense. Are you excited about having it on Astro? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
