Question 1

What is the key difference between Astro X3 and Astro One (Ultra Box)?

Accepted Answer

Astro X3 is an app-only streaming plan with no decoder box required on a 12-month contract, allowing you to watch directly on Smart TVs and mobile devices. Astro One provides physical hardware (Ulti Box or 4K Ultra Box) on a 24-month contract, supporting self-setup Wi-Fi Plug & Play or standard satellite dish installation.

Question 2

Can I install Astro if I live in a condo/apartment or do not have a satellite dish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can choose the Astro X3 plan (app streaming) or the Astro One Ulti / Ultra Box in Plug & Play mode. Both options run seamlessly over home Wi-Fi (minimum recommended speed of 30 Mbps) without requiring any outdoor satellite dish.

Question 3

How long does activation and installation take after registration?

Accepted Answer

For Astro X3, access is activated immediately upon successful registration. For Plug & Play decoders, the unit is couriered nationwide within 2 to 4 working days for instant self-installation. For technician satellite dish installation, an appointment is scheduled within 24 to 48 hours.

Question 4

What documents are required to register for a new Astro subscription?

Accepted Answer

Malaysian citizens only need to provide a clear photo of their MyKad (front and back) and the complete installation/delivery address. No upfront deposit is required for standard package registrations.
