To give you more info about Digital TV in the Philippines. I do a summarized version of its history. Digital TV was implemented in the Philippines since the early 2000s. The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) has adopted the ISDB-T standard for the Philippine television. ISDB-T is a Japanese standard for digital television (DTV) and digital radio used by the country's radio and television networks. The NTC chose to use the Japanese standard ISDB-T for digital television in the country in Memorandum Circular 02-06-2010, noting its capability to 3 levels of categorized modulation (audio, video and data services) to fixed, portable and handheld devices exclusive of the necessity for a supplementary communication facility.
