Atria Convergence Technologies (ACT Fibernet) has been venturing into different segments since the start of 2019. Earlier this year, ACT Fibernet announced an Android TV-based box called ACT Stream TV 4K Box that runs Android 9 Pie. After being in the testing phase for several months, ACT Fibernet has finally announced customers can avail it by paying Rs 1,500 as security deposit amount. For now, the ACT Stream TV 4K is available in just four cities- Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi and Chennai, but the company says it will work on bringing the box to other cities as well in the coming months. Also, ACT Fibernet says customers will have to return the ACT Stream TV 4K box within six months to receive the paid Rs 1,500 amount, post which the refundable amount will be reduced to Rs 250.

ACT Stream TV 4K: Key Features
As you might be aware of, the ACT Stream TV 4K is an Android TV box with support for Google Play Store. This essentially means that the users can download over 3000 apps available in the Play Store. The box already comes bundled with Netflix, Hotstar, YouTube, HOOQ, ZEE5, Sun NXT, SonyLIV and so on. Recently, Amazon Prime Video has been added to the Google Play Store on Android Box devices, so the OTT streaming content side is entirely covered.
Plus, ACT Fibernet is providing Live TV service, which is also useful for the customers. As the name itself suggests, the ACT Stream TV 4K box is a 4K device and also has Dolby audio support. It runs on Android 9 Pie and has 5 Ghz Wi-Fi support as well. The remote also comes with voice assistant support.
ACT Fibernet Security Deposit Refund: How it Works?
ACT Fibernet also revealed some details on how the refundable security deposit works. If an ACT Fibernet customer on any of the eligible plan chooses the ACT Stream TV 4K box, the company will provide it at Rs 1,500 which is completely refundable. But there are some catches to this offer. If the customer returns the box within six months with all the accessories, then ACT Fibernet will credit the Rs 1,500 amount to the customer's account. If a customer chooses it to return after six months, then their account will be credited with Rs 250. That being said, for ACT Fibernet customers, it's a good deal, especially if you watch a lot of content has doesn't have a Smart TV in your home.
