I got my Astro Ultra Box installed two weeks ago. I have questions.

1. I don't have 4K TV yet. So should I choose 1080p or 1080i for better screen resolution?

2. How do I know if my antenna support DCSS or SAT CR and what's the difference between them? (The installer chose SAT CR as default)

2. SatCR and DCSS is a totally different LNB and aren't compatible with each other, since the installer chose SatCR and assuming you got a picture( not SCNA), it means that you are using a SatCR LNB
Actual LNB usedInput Source settingSignal for low Ku band freq: 10.7-11.7GHzSignal for high Ku band freq: 11.7-12.75GHz

1. Power off/unplug the power supply to your Ultra Box
2. Then, switch on the power
3. Use your Astro remote control, point towards the Ultra Box, press and hold the power button (once pressed, don't let go). You'll see the pink colour indicator on the front panel of your Ultra Box blinks repeatedly. Ignore that. Continue holding on pressing the power button, until you see the "Startup Options" page, like this:

4. Once you reach that page (you can let go the power button now), press 1
5. Then press 1 again. Now it download and reinstall the latest software update. Wait for about 5-10 minutes, it will reboot automatically.
6. Once done, check if problem persists.
Thanks for the guide!

No. Never experience that before.
You have any idea what triggers that issue to happen?

I have no idea though. It just happens randomly. I try disable the standby mode just now. Let's see how it goes.

It must be something causes that to happen  hmm.gif  hmm.gif
Is your Ultra Box placed in a well ventilated area? Like make sure it doesn't get too hot or overheat?

Will continue to monitor. Thanks anyway. smile.gif

Has anyone tried the "Astro IPTV Plug and Play" mode? You can switch to this mode by doing a factory reset.

It seems to work even on Unifi. It just streams all the channels via your internet line. Working with channel 780 and 781 as well. Satellite ch781 doesn't work for me normally since my high rise LNB not dCSS.
Edit: not all channels available, for example the fox movies channels

So you have guide on how to setup?

Now Asstro is pushing 30 seconds non skippable ads when watching On Demand. Mindblow.

Monthly pay so much want to do this. 😡
