GMA Network’s preparations for a shift to Digital Terrestrial Television format is already underway. The company is investing between P1 and 1.5 billion in order to deploy the boxes. “We are trying our best to make it cheaper considering that people cannot afford very expensive devices,” Mr. Gozon was quoted as saying.
The company has yet to actually set a price for the box. Concerning the launch’s timing, Mr. Gozon revealed that the near-final versions will be modified so that the “rough edges” will be taken out before they are brought to market. Another detail revealed is that the device will be smaller compared to the rival devices from other networks.
