GMA Network, Inc. is celebrating its 70th Anniversary this year, and as part of their celebration they are now offering their own high-quality and affordable Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) receiver called the GMA Affordabox.
The GMA Affordabox is a plug-and-play device that can easily be connected to an analog TV in order to receive digital television broadcast. Users can watch GMA, GMA News TV, and the most-awaited Heart of Asia in digital format, as well as all other free-to-air digital TV channels available in their area. It comes with a built-in multimedia player that makes it an all-around digital file access device for their TV allowing its users to play compatible video files, view photos, and even listen to music using a USB drive.
Another advanced function of the GMA Affordabox is its personal video recorder that allows viewers to record GMA, GMA News TV, and Heart of Asia programs so they never have to miss any of their favourite Kapuso shows. GMA Affordabox users can watch and re-watch highlights of the shows by instant or scheduled recording .
In addition to the one-of-a-kind features exclusively available for GMA channels, the device also has a nationwide Emergency Warning Broadcast System (EWBS) that receives alerts from the NDRRMC about any calamity warnings in their area. It will automatically set off an alarm during emergencies with its functional auto-on alert feature for every household’s safety and preparedness.
The name may sound cheap to someone’s ears, but our friends from GMA assures that with the Affordabox’s sleek black metal casing it will surely endure years of TV viewing and more importantly provide superior digital reception to their viewers.
