PLDT Roku Powered TVolution Video Review: Watch Netflix, iFlix, Cignal from a Single Tiny Set Top Box!

For the longest time, Roku has been the gold standard for streaming media boxes. Unfortunately, the US-based company hasn’t officially made its products available in the Philippines or even the rest of Asia. Alas, those who wanted a Roku box in the Philippines had to find gray market units and modify their geo-locked boxes.

Thankfully, that’s changed. The newest iteration of the PLDT TVolution will now be powered by Roku so for just Php199 a month, subscribers will be able to get a Roku-powered PLDT TVolution that has been designed specifically for the Philippine market. For a minimal subscription, you can enjoy Netflix, iFlix, Cignal and YouTube and a hundred or so streaming channels from a single media center that plugs seamlessly into your HDMI-enabled TV. Not only that, but you get a year’s free subscription to iFlix, as well as 30 day trials for Netflix and Cignal.

  1. I got mine very late. Not delivered on time. It took them 2 weeks to deliver and after I got it, in less than 24 hours it showed poor services. The channels just kept loading eventhough my internet connection is stable and it shows a lot of error. Instead of having it replaced, they are asking me to visit the nearest pldt shop to check ot there. Not worth it.

  2. I also got mine but most of the time it is loading and there are times the screen is pixelated. Worse is its always rewinding making automatic replays.

  3. Is there a remedy for the cignal channel issues?

    Iflix, netflix and youtube are okay but the issue with the cignal is getting worse as days passed by. I can’t even watch a complete movie as it rewinds then another loading the movie has already ended 😭😭😭

  4. Thanks for the review. Really helpful. Im thinking of getting one but I have a 5 year old. Do you know if Youtube channels have a child lock or child control?
