Astro's new Ultra Plug & Play Box allows users to watch content without the need for a satellite dish. However, not all channels will be available on the new box.
Astro has today officially launched their new Astro Ultra Plug & Play Box. This is their satellite dish-less Astro box, which lets users install it themselves and stream content using just an internet connection.
The Ultra Plug & Play Box will come as Astro looks to improve the user experience. It comes with instructions for the user to install by themselves, and also has an instructional video that users can access via a QR code on the packaging. Using the Ultra Plug & Play Box also means that there won’t be any need to have someone come in to install and wire up a satellite dish into your living room.
“The Ultra Plug & Play Box was designed based on customers’ feedback for a product that is easy to install and offers a continuous viewing experience without weather interruption. As the box is connected to the internet, and not the satellite, this will eliminate rain fade issues. The new box comes with simple video instructions to enable customers to self-install their box at their convenience. Earlier we ran an in-market trial for the new box and 87% of our customers were satisfied with the self-installation process of the Ultra Plug & Play Box as they were able to install the box in simple steps,” – Azlin Arshad, Commercial Director of Astro
Astro’s Ultra Plug & Play Box will still have the Astro SIM Card needed to use the service, and if you sign up for it they will deliver it to your house. While waiting for it to be delivered though, you’d be able to access Astro GO via the app or a web browser anyway. And besides, because you’re the one in charge of actually setting up the Ultra Plug & Play Box, nothing’s stopping you from just using Astro GO indefinitely even after you receive it.
