Try direct LAN connection.

Can’t confirm with you on that. When I switch astro ultra box to 2160p, every possible EDID switch mode tested – none worked. The splitter works to bypass hdcp 2.2 thats all.

Must be a big update… what if it’s ultraview software? Maybe I’m setting my hopes too high

Woahhh that's new to me
No matter how long it is, just let it update, even if you have to let it on overnight.

hazim96Once the software update is done, do show us a photo of your STB Diagnostics (home>Settings>STB Diagnostics)

I dont see any different yet, but the software dated 3 Dec 2020

Ugh, still the same Evo software I almost thought PVR box users get to auto upgrade to the newer Ultraview software, turns out I'm wrong

3 Dec 2020 Seems to me it's just bug fixes? Maybe try browse around On Demand library and stream some shows there, and see if there's any difference, although I don't think there will be any obvious changes la But try and observe first...

Anyway, thanks for sharing this info to us

Installation Fee RM49 if your existing Astro monthly subscription fee is <RM100 per month, plus a new 24 months contract or prorated RM600 for early termination (equiv. RM25 x 24 months).


Pretty much all of the above, has all the info you need to know about Ulti Box.

Well, turns out I'm not the only one that feels that way, on why Astro name it as "Ulti Box":

I just noticed that the ghosting or blurry effect is now disappeared and On Demand loading time has been reduced.

I will try to monitor again later.

Called them to upgrade to ulti box. Installation scheduled on this sat. Finger crossed.

All right

So far if I'm not mistaken, only jhlou mentioned that he got his Ulti Box (Connected HD box) during the beta programme last year, but went silent afterwards

Anyone else here have signed up to upgrade to Ulti Box, besides y561994? Once you get it, do share some review to us too...

sure will. Afternoon installation. Upgrading from byond box (non-pvr).

Oh yeah, my old decoder still got it. Its been a while since I received a major update (previously only background update). Its not taking so much time though.

Surprise. Installer came early today to install instead of saturday. According to installer, I am the third person to install ulti box in Melaka. Upgrading from dmt4 box. The new box is small and compact. Using standard sim size instead of old full sized card. Sim card is friction based (no spring loaded), and half of the card is sticking out of the box. Lan is 100Mbps, wifi ac, and include bluetooth functionality (for?) according to manual. Model is KSTB6112, kaonmedia, manufactured in indo. Come in brown box. Remote feels clicky, instead of the old rubbery feel. No 4K as expected. Overall feel smooth, never use ultra box before, so unable to compare. All photos in spoiler.

I'd say the settings ui is a bit counterintuitive (read not in the place that you'd expect), but overall it's ok.

Hi.
I'm not sure what to review as my old folks watch them more often
But I'm happy for the Vod feature. And the time shift.
If I am to guess, it should be the cut cost version of ultra box with similar features.

Oh they sent me another remote control for dunno what reason by parcel.
RM0 ASTRO: A new & improved Connected HD Box remote control will be delivered to you within 5 days. To set up your new remote control, go to bit.ly/TVctrl

Ulti box remote control look more like android tv remote coz the home, back and three dot button is placed together in a line
Maybe they prepared early for android tv software, right
