Title: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: digibox on Sep 16, 2014 at 12:31 AM
The digibox of ABS CBN is still not publicly available but you can experience it now! I have two spare digibox, experience 5 channels in digital signal with clear and crisp picture quality today. HD Cable quality without installation fee and monthly fees!

Channels: 2, Sports+Action, DZMM Teleradyo, Movie Channel, Knowledge Channel/Youth

Also included are Gem TV, Channel 4 and other digital channels of other stations who will broadcast soon.

Post by: Gino on Sep 16, 2014 at 11:10 AM
Says Mahiwagang Black Box on the packaging. TV+ is the product name. Appears to be a Skycable product. Has Sky logo.

Includes:

1. Antenna with 2m cable
2. Receiver box
3. Remote
4. rca cables
5. AC adapter with 1m lead.
6. Remote AA batteries
7. User Manuals

I tested it only on a CRT tv. It uses composite video (rca).  I guess that is not HD. No HDMI. Picture is as clear as SD Skycable channels. This is way better than analog. Very happy with it.

I don't think this is an exclusive ABS-CBN product. Some competitor networks are on it.

As tested I get the ff channels:

ABS-CBN
ABS-CBN Sports Action
Cinemo
Yey!
Knowledge Channel
DZMM
GMA
GMA News
PTV 1
PTV 2
TV5
Aksyon
TV5 1SEG (crappy test video signal)

planning to get this.  when is this available in the market?

the advantage i see for this unit is you that can move it from one tv to another but it's one:one.

.
DZMM gives away one unit each day to lucky contestants....
Ted Failon's Daily radio show hosts this and a lucky winner is picked by 10am
before his radio program comes to a close, myself a regular listener....
the units are supposed to be for sale in future pending approval by NTC
of the system to be used...(wala pa pong approval by the NTC kung anong system ang paiiralin)
so any unit on sale now could have come from those winners...
as i do not know that ABS-CBN is selling them now...
so are those winners selling them now?
hhhmmm magtanong nga kay Ted Failon.... >:D

how does this thing work? if you have weak reception ng aerial antenna mo, bigla lilinaw with this box??
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: Gino on Sep 16, 2014 at 08:01 PM
It is still a wireless receiver. Good antenna position is a must. You must also be within the network's covered area.

Using a regular antenna with a standard tv I used to get double image fuzzy video. With this new digital box, on the same spot, video is perfect for all channels.

Standard tv gets analog signal. This box gets digital.

not all area are covered
and also, the digibox being "given" is not the final approved by NTC digital box
it does not even have an HDMI.

those digibox are early unit version of abscbn for early adoptation.
but they cannot sell it due to delayed digital tv launch.

be careful also, those selling digibox in olx has duped alot of potential buyer
they require deposit on a bank account... P700
ended up as scam.

your antenna must be facing the transmitter antenna
on a line of sight basis, baka nakatalikod yung location mo...

May kasama po itong Indoor antenna, nasa 5m coax cable tapos yung dulo de-magnet yung antena parang pang wifi. Depende po talaga sa location yung sagap ng channel. Na-test ko itong nabili kong unit sa ibaba namin tv, nakasagap sya ng 10 channels tapos nun inilipat ko sa room ko sa 3rd floor using indoor antena nakasagap ng 21channels.

This serves only as our back up since naka Cignal HD po kame sa bahay.

same question. for example I have this black box, can I pick up a signal if I'm in Tagaytay?
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: pentium4 on Oct 02, 2014 at 11:18 AM
this digibox is still in the testing phase
signal is inconsistent in most areas.
it is "use at your own risk" for those who just want to try the digital format soon.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: luis on Oct 02, 2014 at 11:27 AM
from my limited understanding, these boxes receive signal from designated towers. i just don't know where these towers are.  the location of the towers will tell us the signal coverage.

true, you can use it in your car while mobile or you can use it in multiple locations but one location at a time since it is a wireless device.

i doubt that it is ted failon, because i heard him say that these digibox are not
for sale yet, that is why they give away a unit each day, 5 days a week, so that this
promo has been going on for over two years now so that a total of
more than 520 boxes have been given away...
Ted Failon mentions that they are seeking approval from NTC, the system
they are using is the same as the ones used in Japan...
so that the question is still, what if NTC do not approve and approves another system instead?

if living in a condo, i would advise to avoid locating units near elevator shafts
or big columns, medyo makakaharang ng signal...
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: pentium4 on Oct 02, 2014 at 12:04 PM
ISDB-T standard has been defined and approved for Philippines
this digibox from ABS is their first release which is not type approved yet by NTC.
it is not allowed to be sold at his moment, the reason why they give it away.

but since they have lots of it... they will make a way to dispose it before the approved type of digibox is released.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: Gino on Oct 02, 2014 at 12:29 PM
It's not HD quality. It is SD quality comparable to Skycable SD signal. It only has composite video rca jacks. No hdmi. All my channels are clear. I stay in Morato Ave. Very near ABS-CBN, and GMA.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: jason13 on Oct 02, 2014 at 12:41 PM
Called up ABS-CBN and they claim that even if NTC has already finalized the IRR, the tv+ boxes can still be used.
I guess, they won't really "sell" it if they will not stand by their product. They will be ashamed if all of these boxes will be rendered useless once the IRR has been finalized.

Besides, the boxes are OTA upgradable so if there will be changes once the IRR is finalized, an update can be pushed to the box.

Another thing, the box is already the latest version. The one on top of the latest one was the initial version of the tv+ box.

The box can decode HD signals but sadly it does not have an HDMI output.

Source:
http://www.adth.com/main/products_en_it7200.html

ADTH is the OEM of the box. Model is IT7200.

My experience with the SKY tv+ and comparing it with SkyCable's signal was quite weird.
ABS-CBN 2, ABS-CBN Sports, GMA 7 and GMA News TV are clearer and I mean a huge difference compared to SkyCable's signal. To think I am already using SkyCable's HD box.

On the other hand, TV5 and Aksyon TV are clearer on SkyCable's HD box compared to the tv+ box. Weird.

ABS-CBN's tv+ box can still receive signals even when its raining or cloudy, well last time I've used it when we had Glenda, I was able to view ABS-CBN.

Sun Outage is true, it can affect satellite signals.

Where are the transmissions originating, and what is the coverage area? 

Am from south of Manila (Sta. Rosa Laguna) and am curious if the signals, which I assume are ISDB-T (terrestial)  Free-To-Air transmissions.  Sagap ba dito yan?  Am interested if ever channels can be viewed from this side of the world.  :)

*Curious what would happen to the SkyCable STB's which are DVB-C's when the IRR is implemented.  I assume they would later on be replaced by ISDB-C boxes.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: tony on Oct 02, 2014 at 05:44 PM
Ted Failon in his radio program enumerates what channels are accessible thru this
digibox, the channels are few,  so it is amazing if you can get more channels from what was sold...
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: pentium4 on Oct 03, 2014 at 07:10 AM
it is an open box tuner, unless sky tv+ put a restriction on it.
meaning it can receive and decode all ISDB-T transmitted signal from all network station undergoing testing.
all network are on testing phase may it be alpha , beta and for sure ABS-CBN is already in the final stage since they are the one who initiated this standard. expect ISDB-T devices coming soon including 1 seg devices on mobile phone.

on reception, it is still thru tower transmission and is dependent on how far are you. you will still need an aerial antenna if you are too far from the digital tower. however, not all antenna are capable to get it. there are "digital" design antenna eg. yagi  that is being type approved as well.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: Gino on Oct 03, 2014 at 07:37 AM
I get 16 local channels. I listed them on page 1. I get ABS, GMA, TV5, Aksyon, PTV4 and their sub/news channels.

Make sure the box you get has the rubber ducky antenna with around 2m cable. If there is signal in your area, you will see a popup when you got to non ABS channels. This will inititialize other channels. About 30min.

take note

your reception and channels being recevied will come and go.
because, all of them are still in testing phase.

there will come a time that assigned freq will also change and your digibox may or may not be able to decode. unless an upgrade or re scanning is done.

the first time he offered this digibox and i texted, it was P1,000. when i finally bought yesterday, the price has gone up to P1,500. having said that, the seller seems to be a nice guy naman and easy enough to talk to.

the product really delivers VERY CLEAR reception, albeit, there are very limited channels right now. as mentioned, no other channels except for abs-cbn related programming and also ptv 4. i really don't mind since i don't normally watch on this tv set anyway. i'm located in cubao, qc.

to the mods, can we transfer this thread to the marketplace and let the TS be transparent with the pricing?

abangan mo si Joey Rebate sa programa ni Ted Failon sa DZMM, 8am to 10am, monday to friday...
puntahan mo kung saan naroon si Joey Rebate at pumila ka, before the radio program ends,
those in the cue are asked, "hulaan mo kung kaninong boses ito", if you are first in the cue
and was able to answer correctly the owner of the mystery voice, panalo ka na na mahiwagang blackbox,
na may kasamang mahiwagang backpack....
normally if the first contestant is unable to answer correctly the question,
then it's raffle time, one of around 30 contestants get to win the box and the backpack
pag nabunot ang number mo....
so join kana at baka ikaw na ang mapiling lucky contestant for the day.....;)

you must have misunderstood.....

i do not recall the TS mentioned it was for for free, he is selling those on this thread...

if you want free, then i posted the way to get it for free...

and if you have been listening to Ted Failons' radio program on a daily basis
like i do, you will recognize that what i posted are what Ted used to say in his radio program...

See my quote from the TS on reply# 71.
He did say that it was technically free.
And if he is selling, i did not see any posted price on the device which further made me assume that it was free.

As far as i understood,mhe was only taking reservations to give out a free item.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: tony on Oct 05, 2014 at 12:05 PM
yes, he did say that...but he is selling those boxes, ABS-CBN is giving them away for free...
i am not sure what DIGIBOX's relationship with ABS-CBN is, for all we know he could be
acting under the behest of the company, that we do not know for sure...

what he meant by technically FREE is that ABS-CBN is actually giving them away for free...

myself was surprised to find someone selling those boxes when they were supposed to be give-aways... ;)

5 boxes a day for 52 weeks is about 260 boxes...
and this has been going on for more than 2 years now as far as i can recall..
most of those who were given belong to the C and D class...
there are times when even tv sets were given away free...

I've talked to the seller 2 days ago ata. The box IS technically free daw BUT you have to buy the ABS-CBN SIM card from him, for P1,500.00.


Ayan malinaw na ha. Basahin ninyo yun fine print, yun nga lang, invisible.

Sorry if I haven't posted this earlier.

Edited:
Let me also quote the TS to make things clear:
Thank you PinoyDVD community  for the overwhelming response. All members who got units from me are now enjoying their HD crystal clear experience. I will not accept anymore reservations until next week na po. Fully loaded na.  :) Technically, the digibox is not for sale but FREE! Kindly delete this thread if violating forum rules. Or you can start discussing your experiences here. Thanks again!

Note that this Digibox doesn't need a sim. The sim Nelson posted is a phone sim. It's a work around since ABS CBN isn't allowed to sell the Digibox. I don't know the OP's relationship with ABS CBN and to be honest, I care little. The Digibox I bought from him works at my place and I am happy.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: Kier on Oct 05, 2014 at 10:58 PM
i think he's selling the tv box and the sim is free. why? i've bought 1 box from him and the included 2 sim cards that are supposedly with P200 load each is almost half nalang. one is P99 and the other one is P110. nagamit pa yata yung load ng sim card kaya ko nasabi na yung box ang binebenta at hindi yung sim card dahil bawas na yung load. dapat nga yata 3 sim card with P200 load each ang included sa box, originally.
But that's ok with me, ang binili ko naman talaga yung tv box with or without the sim card, hindi ko rin naman magagamit yun eh. pinamigay ko lang din yung sim. but the tv box naman is in very good condition.
and i'm very satisfied, 1st time kong makapanood ng abs-cbn sa office ko for a very long time na super linaw talaga, puro gma 7 lang dati, hahaha. ngayon naman tempo. stop yata ang broadcast ng gma in digital, hahaha.

You can look at the settings system information to see the frequency band. That can help you select the correct antenna. I haven't looked yet. My signal is fine.

Not sure, but aren't ISDB-T (and even DVB-T) transmissions within the same old UHF/VHF bands so that you should be able to use your old external antennas to receive transmissions better?  Connectors and cables are the same right (75ohm cables, F connectors)?

Digibox, I read in your for sale ad that some people get solar channels with an external antenna. Can you ask them what kind of antenne the used? I am thinking of Yagi but fear losing other channels since that is very directional.

Also there is another f-connecter beside the antenna input. Can that be used for dual antenna setup?

I'm located in Marikina. Got one digibox 2 weeks ago for my house-help to use, since their CRT TV no longer has an antenna. So far, ABS-CBN channels have very clear reception, but GMA channels come & go. The TV is located in a partially open area (not fully surrounded by walls).

para saan ang RF-IN and RF-OUT?

Yung SD digibox ng Sky merong RF out. Ang output nya same lang sa AV OUT so parang extension lang sya. Pag ikinabit yung RF out papunta sa 2nd TV tapos i-tune sa channel 3, lalabas yung same audio and video galing sa AV OUT. Pag nilipat yung channel, lilipat din sya.

Tingin ko ang gamit nito para dun sa sobrang lumang TV dati na wala pang RCA inputs. Naalala ko dati mga VHS player tsaka family computer RF out o kaya yung 300ohms flatwire antenna ang gamit tapos i-tune sa channel 3 yung TV.

But that's ok with me, ang binili ko naman talaga yung tv box with or without the sim card, hindi ko rin naman magagamit yun eh. pinamigay ko lang din yung sim. but the tv box naman is in very good condition.

My experience is different with this Antenna.
I can get a very strong signal while scanning but there is no image received during actual use.
The Antenna provided with the unit has weak signal but there are images that appear.

Same experience with Baron Antenna.

FYI only for fellow users looking for a suitable Antenna.


Here's the antenna a SkyTV+ user used and received Solar Channels.

User said he bought it in DIY Shop for php995, a remote controlled outdoor antenna. Some mentioned that they saw this antenna also in ACE Hardware.  User location is Sta. Ana Manila

I  got my unit and get only 10 channels with slightly better than cable PQ and i am wondering if an outdoor antenna will yield more and better results? How about if taking the supplied antenna outdoor and connecting a longer cable to the 5 meter supplied cable will greatly improve the reception ?
To those who are getting clearer and more channels, please post your set-up. It will be of great help to us who are still experimenting this unit.  Thanks .

Got to test my unit here at Sta. Rosa Laguna near Enchanted Kingdom.  11 channels, mostly Abs Cbn, and TV5 (no GMA broadcast lately per latest posts) with indoor antenna inside my room.  Signal:30; Quality:30 on info.  No dropouts experienced.

Post by: coastal on Oct 14, 2014 at 10:39 AM
Installed 1 unit at our field office (container van) using the supplied antenna na dinikit sa side ng van. Lumabas na yung GMA7 baka tinurn on na nila yung signal. 19 channels pero yung TV5 HD walang lumalabas.

Post by: csquinonesph on Oct 15, 2014 at 12:26 AM
Well... One thing is for sure... ABS CBN is a helluvalot clearer here than it is on Cignal.

Just in case anyone is interested in this:

My Location - Moonwalk Paranaque

Antenna Type - The one that came with the unit

Antenna Location - Outside house (made it reach the roof above my laundry area - i got more channels this way than when the antenna was in the room)

Signal Strength - Low 30s for almost all the channels.

Channels currently received:
1. ABS CBN
2. SPORTS+ACTION
3. CINEMO
4. YEY!
5. KNOWLEDGE CHANNEL
6. DZMM TELEradio
7. TV+ preview channel
8. TV5_HD (pero walang broadcast)
9. TV5 SD
10. NEC HD
11. GMA
12. GMA NEWS TV
13. GMA 1SEG
14. UNTV-1
15. UNTV-2
16. UNTV-3



Getting the same channels here in De Castro, Pasig + 4 channels from BEAM TV kahapon lang ata. Scan nyo ulit para madagdag. Gamit ko yung supplied indoor antenna. Nasa 2/F yung antenna ko, sa may hagdan..

Gusto ko din sana bumili ng external antenna. Meron ako nakita sa C*R-K**g - GT-863
ARCHER OUTDOOR ANTENNA mukang Yagi din. 25 dB gain nya sa UHF and meron built-in booster. Rotating din. Kaso di ko alam pano to ikakabit kasi naka-apartment lang ako. Also di ko din sure kung masasagap nya Solar channels dito sa area namin..

Nasagap ko rin yung NEC channel pero paulit ulit yung palabas (San Beda vs Mapua first half). Baka ito yung Aksyon TV sister company ng TV5.

Post by: jlaw on Oct 15, 2014 at 04:19 PM
May kasama po itong Indoor antenna, nasa 5m coax cable tapos yung dulo de-magnet yung antena parang pang wifi. Depende po talaga sa location yung sagap ng channel. Na-test ko itong nabili kong unit sa ibaba namin tv, nakasagap sya ng 10 channels tapos nun inilipat ko sa room ko sa 3rd floor using indoor antena nakasagap ng 21channels.

This serves only as our back up since naka Cignal HD po kame sa bahay.

So that means the higher the better? Kasi i live in a condo which only have Destiny cable crap SD! Sana nga. Bibili pa lang kasi ako.

Tried many types and the best is just to use the supplied antenna but extend the location to the highest area of your location with a coax cable.

Apparently this is so. Although di ko pa naset ng maayos yung GreenTek antenna compared to the included antenna, the latter is better. Dinikit ko lang sa flashing ng fascia board mas maraming nasagap at mas maganda yung display. Yung greentek nagpipixilate kahit almost the same height level nung sinubukan ko.

good morning.  pagkaka-alam ko kailangan i-program yung box para makapagbroadcast ng palabas.  so far, si ABS lang ang may ganung capability.  yung palabas sa box si ABS ang may control.  I think that's how it works.

Tama sir, usually yung mga smart led tv ng devant ang meron ISDB-T capability. Hindi nga lang masasama yung ilang channel ng abs katulad ng yey, cinemo, radyo tv etc. Pero kapag maganda ang sagap ng signal marami kang channel na makukuha especially sa makati area.

Nagtataka lang ako 31 channel yung nasagap ko pero 23 channel lang ang nasa list. Sino ang naka experience nito. Anyone?

in my case 40 channels during scanning nade-detect. but sa list it's only 20 channels. haven't moved the supplied antenna. Supposedly there's solar channel, etc. available but can't get the signal.

I'm able to get 20 channels (though some are not accessible due to it being scrambled. or just a test broadcast. the ABS-CBN feed is better than the one on skycable. haha!) I live high up in a condo in makati. 25++ floors up..

Malamang.

Kailan lang naman kasi pinasok ang free antenna based digital broadcast dito sa atin eh. So malamang nyan, ngayon pa lang nagiging topic of conversation yan.

And while the broadcast of it may not be in HD, it manages to broadcast *for free* clearer images of local channels than some paid television subscriptions I might mention.

apart from the antenna to take in the digital broadcast,  wala bang "hybrid mode" to take in standard CATV para naman sa analog cable service signals? speculating at this point.

Rf out is if you want to output the signal of the box to your tv's antenna input. (Back in betamax/famicom days, usually sa channel 3 ito diba)

Re: hybrid mode - just for the heck of it, i tried my destiny cable's coax and placed it sa rf in nung box and scanned for channels - no go.

ISDB-T na ang napagkasunduan na standard digital format, ang implementation na lang IRR ang kailangan para sa digital broadcast ng mga networks. Saka kailangan din ng Data Casting and Warning System tulad EWBS and BML na ilalagay sa mga digibox o kaya digital TV na ISDB-T ready.

Puede siyang gamitan ng outdoor antenna, pero backread ka ng konti recommended yata is yung mga UHF Antenna. Puede mo rin gamitin yung default antenna niya at ilagay mo sa ibabaw ng bubong, yun sa akin kasi ganun ang ginawa ko then i manage to get 31 channels pero 23 channels lang ang nasa list. Bandang Makati and Mandaluyong area mas maraming nasasagap na channel.

Digital TV shift to start in five years

THE COUNTRY’S migration to digital terrestrial television standard (DTT) can be expected to start in about five years, with Metro Manila leading the way, a regulator said yesterday.

“We are targeting to release the IRR within the month, as we just have to finalize some minor details,” National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) Commissioner Gamaliel A. Cordoba said in a phone interview, referring to implementing rules and regulation.

“After the publication of IRR, next will be the migration plan or when to shut off analog TV. This will be by phase and for NCR (National Capital Region), the shift will be not more than five years from now... or by 2019,” Mr. Cordoba said.

“After the first phase, which is the NCR, the succeeding phases will be for provincial networks. This is because we still need to assure that provincial TV networks have enough budget for the building of infrastructure.”

Asked what the migration plan will entail, Mr. Cordoba replied: “It will include capital spending for networks, channel planning, frequency allocation, steps that they (networks) must undertake during the digital TV shift and also the phases and timetable.”

On Aug. 31, the NTC issued its draft IRR for the migration that requires broadcast companies to simulcast their DTT service and analog service within the first year of IRR implementation.

“No analog TV operation shall be allowed after the analog shut-off, which will be set by the agency,” the draft IRR stated.

According to Mr. Cordoba, analog shut-off is targeted to start by 2019 with NCR-based networks.

In addition, the draft IRR said that “a bandwidth of six megahertz (Mhz) shall be assigned for each authorized DTT service per service per area.” It also allotted the 512-698 Mhz (Channels 21 to 51) frequency bands for DTT.

The draft IRR said a “duly authorized DTT service provider shall have the option in its application to the Commission to adopt either single or multi-program HDTV (high-definition television) format or single or multi-program SDTV (standard-definition television) format or any combination thereof for its digital service.”

Aldrin M. Cerrado, chief financial officer of ABS-CBN Corp., said by phone on Friday: “We have already spent around P2 billion for infrastructure and it’s already built. We’re just waiting for the IRR. And if they said that we should already shut off analog now, we’re ready. Infra is there, we are ready to migrate.”

GMA Network, Inc. President and Chief Operating Officer Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr. had said in a Sept. 26 e-mail: “At present, we continue with our independent field tests, which are done to validate assumptions made with respect to our transmitter network design and the deployment of the technology.”

“Technical and equipment upgrades are already being implemented in line with the adoption of HD content production. The budgets for these have been allocated over the period covered by our upgrade program, although we cannot disclose the specific amount.”

Emmanuel C. Lorenzana, TV5 president and chief executive officer, had said in a Sept. 17 interview: “We need to invest anywhere from P500 million to P700 million across three to four years for digital television; the amount will be used to build our infrastructure and transmission.” Mr. Lorenzana added that the company will complete the upgrades “earlier than 2020.”

Mukhang matatagalan pa ang implementation. BTW caloocan area ako. 31 channels nasagap ko pero 23 channels lang ang may broadcast.

actually a lot of folks already know na 700 lang ito sa mga promodizers ng abs cbn sa mga selected areas. Matagal nang balita ito sa mga ibang message boards.

I guess the reason why most folks here were willing to pay double was for convenience sake. Alangan namang tumambay kami dun sa mga areas na ino offer itong black box kung di kami taga doon. Lol!

At 1500 pesos, delivered to my doorstep and with what ive saved sa gasolina, effort at oras... Di na ako manghihinayang dun.

Sure, double the price is a bit iffy, imho...

Meron din akong SkyTV+, and bought Greentek Rotating Antenna in the hopes of getting free BTV channel. Mataas ang signal rating at madami syang nakuhang channels, unfortunately wala lumalabas na picture most of the time - intermittent. Binalik ko yung dating antenna na kasama sa box, ayun consistent na may video.

Got my digibox uhm, from digibox and I am very satisfied. Picture is SD quality but far more superior to what I was receiving before with Destiny Cable. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being HD quality / US DTV quality, PQ for this is an 8.  ^-^

Below is the list of currently available channels from Metro Manila. From my location in Imus, I was able to get the ABSCBN, AKSYON and GMA channels with some minor tweaking.

NTC eyes launching digital TV set-top boxes in Q3
by Jon Carlos Rodriguez, ABS-CBNnews.com
Posted at 01/02/2014 2:50 PM | Updated as of 01/02/2014 2:50 PM

MANILA, Philippines – Television viewers in Metro Manila may avail set-top boxes as early as the third quarter of 2014 as the country shifts from analog to digital TV, National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) director Edgardo Cabarios said on Thursday.

Cabarios said the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) in adopting Japan’s integrated services digital broadcasting terrestrial (ISDB-T) is currently being drafted to begin the transition period.

He said as soon as the IRR is released, set-top boxes will also be made available to the viewing public—prioritizing residents of Metro Manila before catering to nearby provinces.

A set-top box is estimated to cost less than P1,000.

“Magiging available siguro ‘yung mga set-top boxes by the third quarter, kung mai-issue sa first semester ‘yung IRR,” he told dzMM.

He said consultations are ongoing to fast-track the shift to digital.

“Ang ginagawa ngayon ay ang implementing rules para maumpisahan na ‘yung transition. Pinaplancha na ‘yan ngayon at magkakaroon ng technical working group ang commission kasama ang lahat ng stakeholders para mapadali ang pag-promulgate ng implementing rules,” he said, adding that operations may begin by June if the process continues without a hitch.

“Iyan ang tina-target na timeframe para maumpisahan na ang transition kasi kailangang-kailangan natin mag-move sa digital television para ma-experience na ng ating manonood ang kagandahan ng digital television at magamit na rin early warning system,” said Cabarios.

The IRR will contain the specifications of the set-top boxes and a detailed timeline of the transition period.

Cabarios noted that when the US migrated to digital TV, it took almost 10 years. But with newer technology, Cabarios believes the Philippines can make the full transition in 3 to 5 years.

“Ang problema po ay ang laki ng investment na kailangan ng broadcast companies, ‘yun ang isinaalangalang sa pagda-draft ng IRR para ma-determine ang transition period…3 to 5 years ang tinitignan diyan,” he said.

The NTC has already ordered television stations to shift from the current analog to digital terrestrial television (DTT).

The Philippines chose Japan’s system mainly because of its integrated emergency warning broadcast system, which can be useful in typhoons, floods and earthquakes.

Wala pa kasing implementation ng IRR kaya ganun muna ang set up nila. Based dun sa post ko sa itaas ng page mukhang malapit ng mag implement and IRR pero ang transition siguro aabutin ng taon.

Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: pentium4 on Nov 14, 2014 at 09:05 PM
Makati is okay but then again it is subject on location.
 even if your location has good reception if you're in a enclosed condo unit, that will suffer signal reception.
you might need an antenna.

btw, there is a ISDB-T compliant antenna. not all designed antenna available in the market will help you get a better reception or worst no reception at all.

also, those digibox being sold in the market (legit or not) is not yet type approved. It may or may not work once the IRR is approved. what is sure is that features like EWB (Emergency Warning Broadcast) and datacasting is not present on those unit and cannot be upgraded OTA also.  So, buy at your own risk.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: xgh0st12x on Nov 14, 2014 at 09:14 PM
I say buy.

Check out the for sale threads of 2 PDVD sellers here. Selling like hotcakes sila.

At the price it's being sold and with no further monthly obligations, sulit sya in my experience to get crystal clear local channels.

Yung ibang monthly paid TV subscriptions dyan, konting ambon lang wala nang signal.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: pentium4 on Nov 14, 2014 at 09:19 PM
Yes Buy...

if you bought one and your area is not yet covered by DTV you can re sell it
if you bought one and working... don't expect all channels to be working as as expected, they will turn on and off while in test mode.
if you don't have need for cable channels, and no plans or funds for a paid service

once IRR is released,who knows. you still have at least a year give or take to use it.
enjoy DTV now
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: xgh0st12x on Nov 14, 2014 at 09:28 PM
Actually, even if youre a paid TV subcription customer, id still recommend this as a back up. Just in case there's no signal for what ever reason. Ive also seen other folks use this in their cars. And again, at the cost, di ka na makaka angal.

Rescan & find the sweetest spot for the supplied antenna bro. Kuha ko both GMA stations. The only drawback is parang may lag. Same with Aksyon TV & channel 5. Noticed it while watching the Ginebra - San Miguel game. I'll try to experiment with the antenna location as well.

Yes i agree...nakakakuha ako ng broadcast ng beam channels if yung original antenna lang ang gamit kahit nasa baba lang..but using the baron antenna na nasa taas ng bubong cant get that channels...but dor other channels clear talaga...so far so good.

Just noticed that at strength of 37% and quality of 99% using the original antenna, lalong gumanda ang abscbn channel...I could not ask form more...very clear pictures..very alive color...picture perfect..really worth a try...lets go DIGITAL...

sir yung aspect ratio will depend on what kind of TV you are using it with.

if wide screen (common for current LED flat panels)- use 16:9 or letterbox
if normal screen (common for CRTV) - use 4:3 or standard

am not certain, pero i recall parang may option yata siya for combo or mix. you can also use this.

best way is go to teleradyo DZMM channel. make adjustments from there. make sure the bottom ticker news line and sides are not cropped. then you'll know the best aspect ratio for your viewing.

I was asking how the different networks transmitted their programs. On what tv aspect ratio. . On my Cignal, only Net25 had the 16x9 aspect ratio. Abs cbn, gma and others had it on 4x3 but with black bars on top and bottom..

Sana bumaba pa konti pricing ng local supplier because of this new..Some tv manufacturer are puting isdb-t in their unit built in.

Devant: Ready for ISDB-T
Devant LEDTech LCD TV is the first in the Philippines to launch a digital TV that is already equipped with a built-in ISDB-T receiver.

 ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial) is the Japanese Digital TV Standard that the Philippines has chosen for the country’s digital terrestrial broadcast of which all analog TV broadcasting will be converted to and replaced by digital broadcast. With Devant LEDTech LCD TVs, you can enjoy the finest high-tech viewing experience and with its built-in receiver, you can now instantly receive digital broadcasts from local tv networks without any set-top or converter boxes.

The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) of the Philippines  has  mandated  that  all local tv stations must switch  off  their analog broadcast system by Dec 31, 2015  and  switch to digital broadcast in time for the complete shift to ISDB-T standards.
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: DViant on Dec 04, 2014 at 05:09 PM
pyth the ISDB-T implementation of any local TV brand is incomplete daw. Best to wait for the NTC's implementing rules and regulations (IRR) before making a purchase. Worst what could happen is buying a TV with the basic ISDB-T tuner receive then having to buy a separate NTC-compliant ISDB-T tuner receiver.

Important years to remember

2007 - If you bought your TV on this year or earlier then you should really buy a replacement TV. Average upgrade cycle for TVs spans at most every 8 years.

2016 - To be more precise, late 2015 is when 4K Blu-ray discs and players will become available for sale making 4K TV sensible for home entertainment outside of connecting the the TV to a computer as a source.

2016 - Is the year the Philippines will start DTT broadcast in ernest.

actually a lot of folks already know na 700 lang ito sa mga promodizers ng abs cbn sa mga selected areas. Matagal nang balita ito sa mga ibang message boards.

I guess the reason why most folks here were willing to pay double was for convenience sake. Alangan namang tumambay kami dun sa mga areas na ino offer itong black box kung di kami taga doon. Lol!

At 1500 pesos, delivered to my doorstep and with what ive saved sa gasolina, effort at oras... Di na ako manghihinayang dun.

Sure, double the price is a bit iffy, imho...
Pero ano magagawa natin. Where there is an opportunity in the Philippines, there will always be typical pinoy capitalists. Kultura na yan. :D

ABS-CBN TVplus: The ‘mahiwagang black box’ unveiled

ABS-CBN TVplus The Mahiwagang Black Box UnveiledABS-CBN TVplus The Mahiwagang Black Box UnveiledFor years, kapamilyas have been intrigued by the “mahiwagang black box” that DZMM radio anchors Ted Failon and Jowie Rebate have been giving away every morning on “Failon Ngayon.”

Now, the elusive box can now be formally unveiled, and it’ll open you up to TV like you’ve never seen or heard it before!

This is the guarantee of ABS-CBN Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) as Pinoy televiewers start to make the exodus from analog TV to digital TV beginning this year.

The Kapamilya network is once again the first out of the gate with its DTT brand called ABS-CBN TVplus, set to be launched on February 11 with Pop Princess and “The Voice of the Philippines” coach Sarah Geronimo as endorser.

DTT is a technological evolution that uses digital signals for broadcast.

 Chairman Eugenio Lopez III says in an interview on ANC that ABS-CBN has first-mover advantage in the DTT race Chairman Eugenio Lopez III says in an interview on ANC that ABS-CBN has first-mover advantage in the DTT raceFor DTT head Chinky Alcedo, the release of the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for DTT in December last year by the National Tele communications Commission (NTC) came as a “great yearender.”

Indeed, Christmas came early and perhaps unexpectedly for the almost 100-strong DTT group. The announcement of the guidelines capped almost a decade of back-and-forth that began in mid-2007 when broadcasters such as ABSCBN were first allowed to test their systems in preparation for the digital switch.

Three years ahead

The Philippines decided to go with the Japanese Integrated Services Digital BroadcastTerrestrial (ISDB-T) platform in late 2013, but not before flip-flopping between it and Europe’s Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial.

In the end, ISDB-T won out, chiefly because of its affordability and emergency warning broadcast system (EWBS).

The entire DTT team up closeThe entire DTT team up closeHere’s how EWBS works, according to Alcedo: in case of emergencies, such as quakes or floods, the government will alert the broadcasters, for example ABS-CBN, to set off the emergency warning system. People will receive the warning through their set-top boxes— a.k.a. the “mahiwagang black box”—which will then display the information on the TV sets. This feature will be activated once the government is ready with the system.

As ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio Lopez III told The Philippine STAR in early 2014: “…We placed our bets early and have already invested in this standard. We are probably three years ahead of everybody else in terms of rolling out digital TV, so this should give us first-mover advantage as the country transitions from analog to digital.”

Meanwhile, households can prepare for the big switch by purchasing an ABS-CBN TVplus set-top box which will work with any TV model with RCA input.

Providing inspiration, innovation

As the pioneer group tasked with introducing a breakthrough service, ABS-CBN’s DTT division has made it their mission to “provide Filipino families and communities with relevant experiences of inspiration and innovation in their daily lives through our purposeful work and excellent digital content and services, thus significantly contributing to overall ABS-CBN business growth,” says Alcedo.

ABS-CBN TVplus holds out the promise of changing the way Filipinos look at TV, and Alcedo says it works both literally and figuratively.

“It’s literal in the sense that it will change from analog reception, which is cloudy and snowy, to crystal clear images and sound. At the same time, it’s an innovation that will open up new worlds to viewers because of the content from four additional channels that we are carrying on DTT. Magbabago ang tingin n’yo sa TV n’yo!,” Alcedo promises, quoting the ABS-CBN TVplus tagline.

The new channels illustrate how ABS-CBN TVplus strives to strike a balance between educational and entertainment offerings as encouraged by ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio, notes Alcedo.

The idea of plunking down a one-time affordable amount for their own “mahiwagang black box” and then turning on their television sets to find that CineMo, Yey, DZMM TeleRadyo and Knowledge Channel are now a part of their regular TV fare has been a source of wonder to households that already have been testing DTT.

“They couldn’t believe it. ‘What do you mean, I have these channels without paying a monthly fee? Are you sure?’ There was a bit of skepticism in the beginning. Once they understood how it works—‘Ah, kinakabit lang pala ang box’ or ‘Dyan pala nakukuha yung reception’—it really changed their whole perspective,” Alcedo shares.

“In some households, they’re saying it changed their lives. They stay home more often and watch it, especially the husband who is glued to CineMo. You can see the effect in the ratings. It’s exciting,” the DTT chief adds.

For homeowners, going digital is a painless process that entails nothing more strenuous than paying for the set-top box and attaching it to one’s TV set—even if it’s an early TV model with the jutting-out back.

“It’s that simple, it’s really just plug and play,” Alcedo assures.

On ABS-CBN and other broadcasters’ end, they will need to simultaneously broadcast both digital and analog signals within the first year of the implementation of the IRR as part of the migration plan. Once all households are digital ready, the analog shutoff will eventually be implemented.

The first phase of the migration plan will cover the National Capital Region, followed by provincial networks. In all, the transition will take about five years, according to the NTC.

D-Day

 Transformational experience for the Filipino familyTransformational experience for the Filipino family“It’s a very busy time because the IRR came out on the last work week of 2014, so through the holidays our operations have been ongoing in the sense that we’ve been kitting the boxes, getting the backend ready and, of course, the channels have been ready for the longest time,” Alcedo says of the last few weeks before DDay.

With several years of laying the groundwork and billions of pesos invested in the new service, the programming honed and ready to go, and a host of launch events to drumbeat ABS-CBN TVplus, the wait for the “mahiwagang black box” will surely be worth it!

DO NOT DO A OTA (Over The Air) Update on your boxes.
Ma block ang gma 7 channels nyo. fyi


You must not scan ABS-CBN's frequency as it automatically sets to the top of the device's channel line-up.

ABS-CBN TVplus may be available commercially starting February 11, but we advice everyone to take caution in buying such devices as it is still not compliant to the ISDB-T Philippine standards.

Please take note that the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has yet to release a Memorandum Circular for Standards and Specifications of ISDB-T recievers, which is seperate from the Implementing Rules & Regulations (IRR) of DTT Broadcasts.

Agree...and there was also a rumor that SkyTV+ is now currently having a next product in line na compliant na sa NTC ruling and with HDMI output na. So in my own opinion they were just selling those old stocks..

As well in the next few weeks or so..other well known brands (Sharp,Pioneer etc.) are about to release as well the NTC compliant Set-Top boxes.

lagi ako ask.. sakaling may mapagkakitaan... naalala ko digital tuners built in sa tv you just add 5usd... so... yung board niyan mismo 5usd lang... + case + powersupply siguro... possible din nga sabi niyo na dvd players/bluray players built in na yan....

naalala ko meron panahon uso saatin sa pinoy dvd media player.. that was around 4 years ago yata.. nag inquire ako sakanila... most of their media players may built in digital tuners.. cost was around 40 to 60usd

yes possible po yan ma integrate sa mga existing appliance.
the problem is... etong isdb-t standard na na approve sa atin ay tinatawag nila na isdb-tph na iba sa mga standard na currently in use sa ibang bansa.

so ibig sabihin, kahit isdb-t device siya walang guarantee na mag work yan dito dahil iba and encoding at decoding nila.

pag dumating ang competition ni tv+ dun lang natin makita ang movement ng pricing.
sa ngayon stick muna tayo sa SRP 2,500

good buy na yung mga nakakuha dati ng P1,500
enjoy muna while it is still working.

I can get 23 channels here in Santa Rosa, Laguna . . . though there are channels na may E48 error n lumalabas, at least meron ABS 2, GMA 7, GMA 11 at TV5, dati meron PTV 4 pero wala n ngayon.

It will have official launch Feb 11.
The catch on the tvplus... It will have the exclusive ABS channels that other isdb-t box will not be able to decode. Worst case you will have ABS channels only. It is purely for ka-pamilya box.
as for legality, it is up to the Gov't. who again pushed out the DTT implementation again up to 2020 instead of 2016.
So, there is still 5 years before that happens. meaning tvplus has ample time to serve your viewing needs.
as for the need, we have query that will complement DTH that does not have exclusive ABS channels.

no need to guess guys, you're referring to me
Sorry, it's plain business and the official launch was the go signal for this.
I have bigger projects on technology products and this is just another one.
One stop shop.. soon on our BM shops down South.

but wait, there's more... to come in Summer!

Correction na lang..."Enjoy your initial release boxes. Coz theyre gonna last" :D

@phantom - thanks for posting the faq. Im sure marami kang nabigyan ng peace of mind dito.

The catch on the tvplus... It will have the exclusive ABS channels that other isdb-t box will not be able to decode. Worst case you will have ABS channels only. It is purely for ka-pamilya box...


Has this been confirmed? I've tried the Starmobile Engage 7TV+ Android tablet with ISDB-T tuner and it was only able to get ABS-CBN here in Cebu City.

Sir! yep i have Devant Ledtech tv and yes you are right na nakakasagap nga sya ng HD local channels.. may GMA nga din.. nauna lang talaga mag launch ung ABS? pero ung Cinemo, YEY, although nasasagap nya, walang picture kase parang need nya nung mismong box to access that. but ung channel 2, 23, 7 gma news, sometimes may channel 5 hd (lalo na nung Gilas, Papal visit) kuha nya. :)



I connected the TV Plus antenna to the Devant TV, indeed, Devant TV can capture some HD channels.


In comparison with ABS-CBN TV plus, Devant TV can capture most of the channels except exclusive channels such as Cinemo, Yey, etc.

So if you have devant TV, you are not missing much if you dont have TV Plus, all you need is a good antenna

Sir, did you notice any difference in PQ?
I would think using the TV's digital tuner gives you clearer picture since you get the native resolution of the broadcast and there's no digital to analog conversion.

Sir I agree with it.  I noticed this also. Using the analog broadcast of GMA News TV on the built-in analog tuner of the TV, I get a more detailed picture compared to the digitally broadcasted GMA News TV on the SkyTV plus. I think its on the conversion ( analog ~ digital ) and compression of media to fit the desired resolution.

It's clearer in Devant. Devant 50" LED Full HD vs in Samsung Plasma 51" FullHD.

I was not able to test the TV plus connected to the Devant, I only used the antenna.

so far, tvplus is helping the market evolve.
yun nga lang, na double charge ang consumer sahil sa high expectation nila sa tv plus and eventually mag pay tv pa rin.

New hardware of bboxes launched by ABS seemd to be a downgrade in terms of connectivity. nawala daw ang RF in and out and antenna out?

Mine was delivered yesterday by ABS-CBN Store (online purchase), meron namang antenna out/RF in and out.

Mahalaga talaga antenna placement. Kahapon, 9 lang channel ko:

ABS-CBN
ABS-CBN Sports+Action
Cinemo
Yey
Knowledge Channel
DZMM Teleradyo
GMA
GMA News
BEAM

Ngayong umaga, nilabas ko sa bintana yung antenna. Nadagdagan ng:

UNTV-1
UNTV-2
UNTV-3
TV5 SD
TV5 HD
PTV SD-1
PTV SD-2
PTV SD-3

Meron pa bang ibang nakukuha sa QC area? Iniisip ko kung papahabain ko pa yung antenna o hindi na makakatulong.

cinemo
yey
knowledge channel
dzmm teleradyo
gma
gma news
ptv 1

jack city
2nd ave
hsn

am on the 10th floor here in a condo in mandaluyong. just had the supplied indoor antenna placed near the window. signal strength was at 60, quality averages at 90.

btw, tried the antenna on my devant tv that has a built in isdb tuner, got almost all the same channels except for cinemo, yey, knowledge channel, dzmm (detected pero no picture, mukang scrambled). mas malinaw pa kasi wala nang digital to analog conversion via rca cables. (the tv5 hd feed was showing a resolution of 1440x1080i while yung untv hd channel was 1920x1080i)

ang maganda sa RCA may HDMI, pwedeng magrecord,USB media player tulad ng mga nabanggit mo   pero ang TV plus naman may exclusive channel like cinemo, yey, knowledge channel DZMM Teleradyo. mas mura ang RCA nasa php1,700 sa electonic boutique vs php2,500. kaya mamimili ko kung ano ang mas gusto mo sa dalawa. sa akin ok na ako sa TV plus kc yung mga kasama ko sa bahay mahilig manood ng mga old movies sa cinemo.

try namin ngayon splitter tong barong antenna para di na namin gagamitin yung isang antenna kasi may konsumo pa sa kuryente para lang magkasignal :(

i bought the abs cbn box and there are 4 antenna connector ports, 1 ant in and out, and rf in and out.

can i hook up my catv in the box also, aside from connecting the external antenna?

i will install the unit on the 16th floor of the condo, do i have to locate the antenna near the window?

Ant IN and OUT.
      ANT IN - external antenna should be connected here.
      ANT OUT - can connect other devices that needs to use your external antenna such as FM receiver or other TV set or other MBB.
      RF IN - wala yata nito..pls check
      RF OUT - can be used if your TV doesn't have an RCA AV in.

can i hook up my catv in the box also, aside from connecting the external antenna?
      NO.. your catv carries a digital signal but not in a format that can be digested by the MBB.

i will install the unit on the 16th floor of the condo, do i have to locate the antenna near the window?
      Depends on your location. place the antenna where you could get the best reception.

what is the abs cbn mobile sim for?
      For now, abscbn mobile sim has nothing to do with the MBB. I just dont know their future plan.

Happy Viewing..

Just got the generic ISDB-T Set Top Box from China which has an hdmi out for video & digital coaxial out for audio, It has a built-in Media Player which can play all  movies with different formats in my 1TB portable hard drive.

Just to show you guys on different channels that I've been receiving so far.......I am using an outdoor antenna, Cavite area, using hdmi out. The four exclusive channels of ABS-CBN are in the lists but still exclusive for their tv plus.

Tingin ko sir walang effect yung satellite dish. Although pareho naman silang radio wave, magkaiba sila ng band tapos magkaiba pa ng format (DVB-S vs. ISBD-T) tsaka puro signal ng Cignal ang masasagap nya at di yun kayang idecode ng TV Plus.

I would guess na mas malakas pa sumagap yung kasamang antenna ng TV Plus kesa sa satellite dish.

Good pm mga boss, need your help/advise.

Sa ngayon gamit ko yung mahiwagang blackbox connected to my Toshiba led tv pero yung pic quality niya mas malinaw pa kapag connected sa analog tv. May recommended ba kayong rca a/v cable na mas makakapag produce ng magandang pq? Salamat!
Title: Re: ABS CBN DigiBox
Post by: larokulit on Nov 09, 2015 at 08:05 AM
+1 same experience kahit sa smaller TV -- 21-inch CRT vs 32-inch FullHD LCD.
Tingin ko dahil di naman mataas ang resolution nitong blackbox tsaka  SD lang yung broadcast. Wala lang noise yung picture kaya sobrang linaw sa low-res na display pero like any other low-res source, lalabo talaga pagdating sa hi-res display.

Ang napapansin ko nga parang compressed yung picture nya makikita mo pag transition malabo muna tapos lilinaw parang JPEG photo.

Anyway, ni-try ko sa LCD monitor na 1440x900 malinaw din sya kahit relatively hi-res tong display pero 19-inch lang.

Tingin ko dyan magre-release sila, soon, ng new box na may HDMI tapos i-broadcast nila yung ABS-CBN HD na nasa Sky/Destiny pa lang ngayon.

Pwede siguro sir yan, bili ka lang ng splitter. Ang setup ko sa bahay ay from outdoor antenna pagpasok sa bahay ay may splitter ako, one for the abscbn magic box sa sala and the other to my tv sa other room.

afaik pwede. make sure lang na makuha mo yung tamang splitter na covered yung both vhf and uhf frequencies. mas mahal ng konti yung pang vhf/uhf na splitter. naka indicate sa body ng splitter yung frequency range nya.

from wiki:
vhf = 30–300 MHz
uhf = 300–3000 MHz

kunting tips sa mga walang cable sa bahay kagaya ko.

Baron Antenna to TV.. tapos RCA naman from TV plus to TV..

bakit ko ginanyan ang connection?

kasi maraming channels na nasasagap na malinaw ang Baron Antenna na wala sa TV plus o kaya pawala wala sa TV plus gaya ng mga TV 5, GMA etc..

tapos mga exclusive channel naman nakukuha ko sa TV plus.

all in all almost 40channels ang meron ako sa bahay. hehe. pag gusto ko mag Baron switch ko lang sa antenna ang TV. pag gusto ko TV plus switch ko lang sa AV..

nakakabwisit lang ang TV PLus kasi pag my inaabangang palabas sa GMA o TV5 tinatanggalan nila signal. tulad ng PBA Finals at laban ni Pacquiao. tapos sa hapon pahirapan makakuha ng signal sa GMA NEWS TV pag balita na.

nasubukan mo ba gamitin yung baron antenna na nakakabit sa tv plus instead na yung supplied antenna? dati kasi ganun din sa amin, ang hirap makahagap ng lahat ng channels using tvplus' antenna. nung kinabit ko baron sa tvplus, ayun sagap lahat ng channels.  hindi ko maalala yung last time na nawalan ng GMA or TV5 sa more than a year na ganyan ang set-up ko. pero syempre minsan it depends on your location kung malakas talaga digital signal ng GMA or TV5.

In your TV plus, just press the button "Signal" on the upper right side of the remote. It will show the strength of the signal your antenna is receiving. If mababa sya then need to improve your antenna. I think mas preferred nya UHF antenna. Baron antenna will work, but it is not the best antenna for TV plus. I understand some uses UHF antennas from CDR-King with good results.

May in-line amplifier ang ibang antennas ng ganyan na DTV tuner boxes. Possible na hindi magwork ng maayos with TVs kung meron since kailangan may power from the receiver to run the amplifier.

Not sure pero nung ginamitan ko dati ng laserdisc player yung AVR ko noon doon yata sa video/monitor out lumalabas yung video playback so there is a separate video cable (yellow) akong ginamit.

Pang-asar lang sa bahay kasi sa sala naka Sky, sa may kusina naka Blackbox tapos pag pareho ang pinapanood na palabas delayed yung blackbox kaya nakakairita na madinig mo yung audio na umuulit.

I own a TV with isdbt built-in, hindi ko ma-access yung exclusive channels ng ABS-CBN black box, do you thing there would be a way to access them by paying a one time fee to ABS-CBN (outlet)? I do not like Digi-Box since it would just add-up cluttered wires and consume a separate electric power... Do you think this is possible?

i don't think it's possible. not unless abs-cbn would broadcast the channels without encryption.

unfortunately yung mga latest boxes (4th gen na ata) wala na talagang hdmi. not sure kung bakit tinanggal. i have both the 3rd gen (hdmi) and 4th gen, parehas lang talaga sila except for that hdmi port.

As you said, it is encrypt so NO way to watch it for free in tv plus. You must subscribed with thier cable channel.

It advertised for now as a free trial so after the trial period, may bayad na yan. Like their KBO channel.
