The Ulti Box also features Astro’s new UI and you can search for your show title, actor, or director name with your remote control. Similar to the Ultra Box, you’ll get access to Video-on-Demand (VOD) content, cloud recording and the Play From Start function. For the best online-based experience, Astro recommends a WiFi connectivity of at least 10Mbps. According to Astro, the Ulti Box supports a maximum resolution of Full HD 1080p.
