Astro today announced that in line with its promise to deliver the best viewing experience to customers, it is adding 4 new streaming apps to its Ulti Box. These include the iQIYI, TVBAnywhere+, beIN SPORTS CONNECT and BBC Player apps.
Accordingly, Astro Ulti Box customers can now watch popular Original Sorry Naik Lori and Chinese drama, New Life Begins on iQIYI, A Perfect Man on TVBAnywhere+; sports content such as Ligue 1, La Liga and Australia Open Tennis on beIN SPORTS CONNECT and British content such as Strictly Come Dancing on BBC Player by accessing these apps via the “Apps” rail at their Home Page.
Astro further elaborated that access to these apps on the Ulti Box would depend on customers’ subscriptions as below:
Besides that, Astro has also introduced other updates to its Boxes and Astro GO, including a revamped user interface, Picture-in-Picture Mode, Interactive Mode and a new bottom menu bar. As for the revamped user interface, Astro said that it has overall been simplified for a sleeker and friendlier look to highlight the content, a new cursor, faster access to TV Guide and a “See All” button on title rows.
For Picture-in-Picture Mode on Astro GO, users can now continue watching their favourite shows in a smaller floating player even when they are using other apps on their mobile device. Sticking with Astro GO, the new Interactive Mode will now launch automatically for the Premier League and UEFA Champions League so users can access instant highlights, match statistics, player statistics and fixtures of upcoming matches without the hassle of initiating it manually.
