We announced recently are gamechangers -

Meaning it’s no longer compulsory to have a satellite dish.

And Dolby Atmos capability to bring sports fans a premium viewing experience 
In crystal clear 4K UHD. 
Today, we hit another milestone by aggregating the Netflix app
Directly onto Ultra Box so that customers can stream Netflix content seamlessly

Making us the Number 1 aggregator of the best streaming services in Malaysia.”
