Are you in the Main Menu (Home Page where you can browse On Demand content)? I remember you can't press the "back" button there - and you have to press the "home" button to get back to Live.

Oh... you will get accustom to it after a while (artistically) Astro upgrade usually accompanied with tonnes of downgrade.
I also feel very uncomfortable about it after I switch to Ultrabox.... have to manually key in the channel number every time to switch channel. Previously can easy 'back' like a memory function that loop through the few channel usually watch...

Yeah... eventually you will memorized the channel number and switch it....

It's not reliable for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I've been trying to figure out what the cause of the problem is but no joy.

My guess you need to cut your own Netflix subscription as it will link to your Astro ID
Let’s wait for the details

And now, we will be adding a new feature to your Ultra Box software on 25th May 2021.
Continuous Viewing – Continue to watch all your shows without interruption during heavy rainfall.

Do help us by trying out this feature on as many channels as possible especially when it's raining heavily in your area.




To simulate this feature, just unplug the satellite cable at the back of your Ulti/Ultra Box (make sure you know how to connect it back, lol).
So, instead of seeing SCNA message as if like heavy rain outside, you shall be seeing this message now:

So just press OK on your Astro remote control, loading cursor appears, and the TV channel will buffer from the Internet from now onwards, until you change to other channel, which it will fall-back to satellite mode reception then.
This feature shall be available to all SD and HD channels, but not available on Astro UHD channels for now.

As usual, the video quality during the first 5 seconds will look horrible like 240p quality. After 5 seconds, it shall auto switches to the exact Full HD 50i broadcast quality (not 25p) just like what you would see on satellite. That is provided if your Internet connection is fast and stable enough. Or else, it may stuck at the Astro Go quality (25p).

If your Ulti/Ultra Box is connected to a slow and inconsistent Internet connection (e.g. connect via mobile WiFi hotspot), and it is loading the content via Internet, it can easily cause the entire Ulti/Ultra Box software to become super laggy, sluggish, unresponsive, and many other issues will come at once. But if it is connected to a fast and stable Internet connection, then overall it should be okay.

I believe many of you already got this May 18 2021 21.1.4.24 update already, right?
Now that's what I call it, a better solution to rain fade issue. Although there will be 30-60 seconds delay over the linear broadcast you see on satellite, but it is still better than nothing (SCNA message appears during heavy rains). 

It basically mirrors the live feed from Astro themselves, so yes - but it will be delayed for about 30 seconds to 1 minutes.

RM50 extra ???? crazy ah.. might as well stick with the Satellite dish which already installed

If I replace the ULTRA.... it's free ?

ypu mean to the new no-sat ULTRA box ?

Like this scene @8:11 also censored on Astro AOD version...not sure if they done it on TVB Jade version as well.

Been busy lately to follow up what's going on in Astro.

Keep receiving msg asking to activate Disney. Is this also related to previous movie channels. Lately I've seen those movie channels keep repeating old and ancient movies over and over again.

What will happen if you activate Disney and what if you are not?

Does this related to streaming only or related to UBox also?

Thanks for the replies. Understood.

Not activate means cannot watch on phone or anything similar. Well, never use my phone for that purpose either 

but 13 channel will not at astro ultra plug and play
