Been using Ultrabox since it came out. 2019? 2020? Can't remember. I wonder if throughout the years there are hardware iteration/improvement/better component of the box itself, even if incremental, for better viewing experience.

Anyone can confirm?

Thanks Josh. So there are 1) SFH1, 2) PRM1, 3) PFH2 (current version), as of April 2022. Three years down the road, is PFH2 the still the latest version?

From your post, I understand there's no significant difference for user experience.

Yes, PFH2 is still the latest version. There are no major differences between the variants aside from the manufacturers — all of them receive the same software updates from time to time.

I have also been told that, if your Astro subscription doesn't include Movies, and you've activated the free 2-month Amazon Prime Video access from Astro, the free access will expire after 2 months.
To continue enjoying Amazon Prime Video after that, you'll need to subscribe as an add-on or upgrade your pack. You will need to do it manually; it will not auto-subscribe, so no need to worry about that.

Or will it be included for free for certain package?
As long your Astro subscription includes Movies, then Amazon Prime is now included in your subscription without additional cost, therefore your Amazon Prime access shall continue uninterrupted even after the free 2 months access.

For Astro customers, there’s a promo where you get 2 months of free access if you activate before June 23, 2025. Just make sure your Prime Video account isn’t already subscribed.

After that, Prime Video will be free if you’re on certain TV packs — mainly those with Movies (from 2021 and earlier) or the latest Astro One: Epic Pack. Otherwise, it’ll be RM25 a month a la carte, no special discount. Prime Video will be available as an app add-on via My Astro app.

If you’re already have HBO channels on your SuperPack 1, you’re eligible to stream Prime Video for free.

I still remember during Astro B.yond STB days, the phone app during that era has remote control built-in.

The features is removed from the app when the Ultrabox in released.

Any chance to bring this back?

I remember back then I used it once or twice to test it out on my PVR box. It feels like a fancy feature.
After testing it, I don't use it anymore.
I still prefer using physical remote control to interact the box.

They removed it probably because only few people using it regularly?

I often misplaced my physical remote laugh.gif When at home, after work, feels so tired, settled at sofa, turned on the TV (can turn on using phone as android TV can be linked) and wondering ah, where's the physical astro remote? Had to get up and look for it.

Not a big deal actually. Just wondering.
