Filipinos are starting to make the shift to digital terrestrial television with
ABS-CBN TV Plus leading the market with over 5 million units sold in just three
years and maintaining its stand as the first to bring the new technology to the
Filipino masses where they can enjoy clearer picture and sound quality and
exclusive programming on their television sets. But at the beginning of the new
school year, a new and exciting product coming to our local shores is set to
bring digital free TV to a different level of indulgement.
The
continuing success of ABS-CBN TV Plus has pushed major television stations to
develop a digital TV device that would surely delight Filipino viewing
households and hopefully be at par with its competition in the DTT scene. While
we're waiting for GMA Network's own DTT device to come in the coming weeks, it
looks like Solar Entertainment Corporation has gone ahead and introduced its
own digital free TV device that will already be out in the market by June, the
EasyTV Super Digibox.
When
it was first unveiled to the public via social media, I thought that EasyTV would
initially be a DTT USB dongle that can be connected to any mobile device. However,
those who have speculated that would be wrong as it will become available as a
set-top box that can provide a clearer and more enjoyable television viewing experience.
What's more interesting about the new digibox is that it has its own line of exclusive
channels which is more than that of the ABS-CBN TV Plus and you would be
surprised by what it offers if you consider buying the product.
Whether
you can pre-order via Shop TV or purchase when it becomes available physically
for an initial price of Php2,999, the EasyTV Super Digibox will give you a year
of worry-free access to ETC, Jack TV, MTVph, Basketball TV, NBA Premium TV,
Solar Sports, Shop TV, Aniplus, K+, History Channel, Outdoor Channel, Zee Sine,
Gone Viral TV, ZooMoo and Boo. All you need to do is to activate your digibox
via EasyTV.ph or the EasyTV mobile app on your smartphone or tablet PC. And if
one year is not enough for you to satisfy your enjoyment, then you should renew
your EasyTV subscription for just a thousand pesos with a single one to spare.
