KUALA LUMPUR, 23 August 2022 – As part of Astro’s commitment to delivering as simple and as seamless a viewing experience as possible, we are excited to introduce the Disney+ Hotstar app on the Ulti Box.
First launched on the Ultra Box earlier this year, from today, all Ulti Box customers with an active Disney+ Hotstar subscription will be able to enjoy the benefits of the Disney+ Hotstar app. With the exciting addition of this popular streaming service, Ulti Box customers can now switch between hit local channels and the Disney+ Hotstar app’s library of endless entertainment without ever needing to leave the Astro interface – enabling a more seamless and enjoyable viewing experience for all.
This timely launch coincides with the release of a slate of highly anticipated Disney+ Hotstar content, including K-drama Big Mouth, starring Lee Jong-Suk and Lim Yoona; Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk, a legal comedy starring Emmy® Award winning actress Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters—an attorney specializing in superhuman-oriented legal cases; The Bear, a drama series about a brilliant young chef who leaves behind the world of fine dining to run his family’s sandwich shop; Pinocchio (coming 8 Sep) a live action and CGI retelling of the beloved Disney classic and THE ZONE: Survival Mission (coming 8 Sep), an exciting new Korean variety show starring Yu Jaeseok, Lee Kwangsoo, and Kwon Yuri.
