It's been some time since Astro launched the Ultra Box streaming service and it has been doing relatively well. But making it a separate service you have to sign up to may be hard to convince people to get it over another service like Netflix. That's why Astro has decided to provide the Ultra Box service to Astro IPTV customers as well.

After recently announcing their Astro Ultra Box with its own dedicated UHD channel, new interface and Cloud recording, Astro is rolling out even more UHD content in 2020. Featuring something for everyone, this includes Live Premier League and UEFA EURO 2020 matches, documentaries and movies in what is currently the highest possible viewing resolution around. 

Astro tells us there’s more to come for the new year of 2020, so in no particular order here are the UHD content you shouldn’t miss to welcome in the new year.

Astro recently came out with their Ultra HD (UHD) or 4K TV streaming service called Ultra Box and we managed to get some time with it. Not only featuring UHD or 4K resolution content, it also comes with cloud recording and a new interface but is it something you should consider if you're looking for UHD streaming content on your TV? Read on and find out in our 2-weeks first impressions with the Astro Ultra Box. 

Astro has just announced a new offer for its Astro & Broadband service. You can now sign up for a 30Mbps internet connection plus a subscription for Astro's Family Pack for just RM99. All existing Astro and NJOI customers can sign up for this package and save a nice RM30 for their monthly subscription.
