Know Your Device: Remote and Box Specs

Bringing a new smart device into your living room is exciting, but it shouldn't come with a steep learning curve. In multi-generational Indian households, entertainment needs vary - from parents tracking live prime-time news to kids watching animated shows and tech enthusiasts streaming 4K cinematic content. The ACT StreamTV 4K is engineered to simplify this entire experience by consolidating live television channels and multiple streaming applications into a single, high-performance hub. To get the absolute most out of your entertainment setup, here is a straightforward breakdown of your hardware and remote control.

The ACT StreamTV 4K Box Specs

The ACT Stream TV 4K box sitting under your television is a powerful device designed to handle data-heavy 4K streaming effortlessly. On the back and sides of the device, you will find essential input ports that keep your entertainment system connected:

• HDMI Port: This connects the box directly to your television to deliver crisp, ultra-high-definition 4K video and synchronized multi-channel audio.
• Ethernet Port: While the box supports dual-band Wi-Fi, plugging a physical internet cable from your ACT Fibernet router straight into this LAN port ensures the lowest possible latency and buffer-free performance during live sports broadcasts.
• USB Port: Perfect for plugging in external storage drives, giving you the freedom to view offline media, play family videos, or connect external hardware like gameing controllers.

The front of the box features a subtle LED indicator light. A solid green light means your device is fully powered on and operational, while a red light indicates it is in standby mode. A blinking light simply means the device is processing a command, booting up, or updating its software to the latest firmware version.

Understanding Your Smart Remote Control

The ACT StreamTV 4K remote moves away from the confusing, cluttered layouts of traditional cable controllers, focusing instead on a streamlined button layout for quick access.

1. Direct App and Live TV Access

• Google Assistant Button: Located near the top center of the remote, this dedicated voice button eliminates the need to type out long titles letter by letter on an on-screen keyboard. Press and hold the button and speak naturally to find content. The voice engine supports regional Indian languages, allowing you to quickly search for films or actors by voice.
• Dedicated OTT Hotkeys: Running along the bottom of the remote are single-click branded buttons for premium platforms like Netflix, YouTube, Jio Hotstar, and Prime Video. Pressing any of these launches the respective application instantly, bypassing the home screen altogether.
• TV Button: This is your direct shortcut into the live TV Electronic Program Guide (EPG) grid to see what is broadcasting across linear channels right now.

2. Navigation and Control Buttons

• Arrow and Select Buttons: Use the up, down, left, and right directional arrow buttons to move through the on-screen menus, and press the center Select button to confirm your choices or open apps.
• Back Button: Takes you exactly one step backward in your navigation history, ensuring you never get trapped in accidental menu loops.
• Home Button: Instantly pulls you out of any active application and lands you right back on the main ACT dashboard.
• Volume and Channel Toggles: These vertical switches give you immediate control over volume adjustments and quick channel flipping without looking away from the screen.

Setting Up Your Home Screen

A smart device should adjust to your unique daily habits. If your family opens YouTube or a specific regional streaming app more than anything else, you can easily reorganize your dashboard for quicker access.

Simply scroll down to the My Apps row on your home page, highlight your preferred application icon, and hold down the Select button on your remote. The icon will detach, allowing you to slide it directly to the front of the row. This simple adjustment places your most-watched platforms right at the beginning of the line, making your entertainment completely friction-free the next time you turn on the TV.

Mastering your ACT StreamTV 4K starts with knowing how its hardware and interface work together to elevate your daily viewing. By eliminating the clutter of multiple remotes and standardizing your layout, the device bridges the gap between traditional television and modern streaming. Take a few moments to set up your preferred app layout and test out the voice commands. With your hardware optimized and your favourite content positioned right where you need it, your entire household can enjoy a premium, lag-free entertainment experience powered seamlessly by ACT SmartWiFi.
