While newer LED TVs that are available in the market today have added support for ISDB-T Digital TV, a lot of households are still holding onto their old ones and won’t replace them until they’re really broken down. With the transition to Digital TV on the way, it’s best to invest in a Digital TV box to remain unaffected should that time come in 2020. Here are some of the common DTV boxes we’ve seen in stores and online.
Author’s Note: The list is in order of price, from the most to least expensive.

EasyTV
Solar’s EasyTV is loaded with additional channels normally seen on cable TVs such as History, BTV, and NBA Premium TV, but these come at an expensive price. The EasyTV is one of the more expensive ones with a PHP 2,999 11 price tag for the unit alone and a one-year subscription to the premium channels. Renewing those channels, once they expire, will cost you PHP 999 each year.
ABS-CBN TV Plus
This is probably one of the most popular DTV boxes around the country. It features exclusive channels ranging from Pinoy classics to educational shows and episode re-runs, as well as pay-per-view movies and K-dramas. It’s priced at PHP 1,499. A bundled pack with a Baron DTV antenna for a better signal reception is also available for PHP 1,999. ABS-CBN is also exploring a subscription-based use for five additional channels that were added only this year 16. GMA, where art thou?
