On YouTube, Jayson Abad commented, “We’re very excited with this product, well researched, most comprehensive, and excellent digital transmitter as the country needs to shift from analog to digital TV. Kudos GMA!”
GMA Affordabox buyers from online shopping platforms likewise rated it five-stars and wrote great reviews.
GMA Affordabox stays true to its name as users need not worry for any additional charges after the one-time purchase of P888.
The plug-and-play device can easily be connected to an analog TV to receive digital television broadcast where users can watch GMA, GMA News TV, and Heart of Asia in digital display, as well as all other free-to-air digital TV channels available in their area.

Gaining higher demand as a result of numerous good reviews, GMA Affordabox’s sales are now set to exceed the Network’s initial projection of 600,000 units.
