The device acts like a one-stop solution for all your TV needs, and by TV here, we mean smart TVs. From movies to shows and music from streaming providers to live TV channels - the ACT Stream TV 4K brings it all together. The device is also powered by ACT Fibernet’s high-speed fibernet connectivity to make all things you do on this, essentially seamless.

The 4K device has Dolby Vision that enhances the viewing experience and streams content from popular streaming apps like Netflix, Hotstar, Sony Liv, Hooq, Zee5, YouTube etc and also from 3000+ apps available on the Google Play Store. You can also watch content from over a 100 free TV channels. The box also is Google Assistant-enabled and that allows you easy voice search.

One of the cooler things on offer from ACT Stream TV 4K is their single-click subscription that allows you to take care of all your subscriptions, of streaming partners that have tied up with ACT Fibernet, through the one monthly bill you pay for ACT bill. The device only comes with the ACT subscription and the company has no immediate plans of selling the box independently.

For those missing out on TV shows because of work or other chores, the box has the Catch up TV feature that lets you watch shows and sports highlights for up to 24 hours.

You can connect the box using the hard disk, USB devices, joysticks for gaming and even to the camera to view videos and pictures on the larger TV screen. You can also use this for video chat.

The remote comes equipped with four specialised buttons - Netflix, Google Play, YouTube and Live TV and the box itself looks sleek and non-descript, which is quite a boon when it comes to fitting in with our modern-day devices.
