Courier Complaints Drop 88% Under Oplan Bantay Padala ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo and Zephyurus G now officially available in PH Infinix HOT 70: Coming in HOT Under P8,000! Insta360 Luna Ultra launched, priced in the Philippines Infinix HOT 70 now available with Dynamic Shine design

Ang kasunduan sa pagitan ng iFlix at ng mga kumpanyang may-ari ng MVP, ang PLDT Home at Smart Communications, ay nangyayari na dahil ang pinakapangunahing serbisyo ng internet TV sa Timog-Silangang Asya ay pumasok na sa Pilipinas.

Ang mga subscriber ng PLDT Home at Smart ay maaaring mag-enjoy ng walang limitasyong streaming sa Php99 bawat buwan at pumili mula sa malawak na hanay ng mga pelikula at serye sa TV galing sa mga pangunahing partner na studio ng iFlix, kabilang ang Disney, Fox, at Warner Bros., upang maging ilan lamang.

Nakukuha ang iFlix ng lahat ng kasalukuyang mga subscriber ng PLDT Home DSL at PLDT Home Ultera, hindi na nagsasabi pa ng mga postpaid at prepaid users ng Smart, bilang isang opsyong dagdag. Ang bayad sa langganan ng iFlix (Php99) ay iddadagdag sa buwaning amortisasyon ng gumagamit o babawas mula sa kanilang prepaid load (para sa mga Smart prepaid subs).

Sa kabilang panig, ang mga subscriber ng PLDT Home na nag-upgrade sa TVolution o Telpad plans, pati na rin ang mga umiiral nang Fibr Plan subscribers, ay makakakuha ng iFlix nang walang karagdagang bayad.

Upang magsimula sa iFlix, magrehistro lamang ng isang account sa www.iflix.com at makatanggap ng 14-araw na trial ng serbisyo. Ang serbisyo ay available din sa Android at iOS devices sa pamamagitan ng iFlix app na maaaring ma-download sa mga link na ibinigay sa ibaba.

merong app sa android na parang gani2 pero libre, showbox pangalan

Mr A · 11 years ago

I used iFlix. Yeah luma ang shows, but it has a lot of interesting old shows that I would watch. If I can get all season of Friends, why would I bother downloading each of them?

I am watching most of the A&E (American Restorations, Pawn Stars, the Pickers) shows adding also Comedy Central shows (stand-up comedy with John Oliver, Family Guy) to name a few.

As for the streaming quality, it’s adaptive. Kapag ok ang internet mo, its HQ SD. Pag hindi it throttles the quality. I have 3mbps, unless may nag 2 YT sa bahay (we have 6 computers and many Smart devices), tuloy tuloy naman.

I’m also guessing PLDT also prioritized iFlix bandwidth, so it appears faster than YT.

Hindi ba covered to nung mga plans na may data cap?

carloxy · 11 years ago

yan ang magadang tanong! sa PLDT may chance pa e panu sa ibang provider? hmmmmm. kaya panget talaga may cap e

carloxy · 11 years ago

@andre i agree, tsaka sa halagang 99 pesos o 129 kung di ka naka PLDT, ipagkukuripot pa ba naten? Mahal pa magazine ng FHM e o ung isang kape ng starbucks e o isang bucket ng SMB e hahaha :D

abuzalzal · 11 years ago

I use Spotify, point ko lang, hindi naman lahat ng latest Movies at TV shows i-stream dito, so why pay for a crappy service…..eh di mag Torrent ka na lang, andun pa lahat, libre pa

carloxy · 11 years ago

pero di rin naman kumpleto ang Spotify e hahahaha but i assume dun ka lang sa free, but anyways, ok lang naman ito, for 99 pesos, kahit sa cp mo pwede ka manuod ng movies o series ( un nga lang need mo wifi, or nasa 4g hotspot ka ) di pa mapupuno ang storage mo, mahal kaya ng harddrive! hehe :)

MemeNa · 11 years ago

So you admit you are a PROUD pirate who don’t support multimedia industries?

andre · 11 years ago

right now this service will appear crappy because it does not have the rights to all film companies…yet. pero pag nagka-critical mass ang subscribers, dadami din yan. for example, yung itunes music store, di naman lahat ng songs available na dun sa kanila nung una. masasabi mo bang crappy yan? maaaring oo pero hindi habambuhay na crappy yun. ngayon dahil sa laki nila, karamihan andun na. same thing dito.

anonymous · 11 years ago

common pinoy logic: buys phone/gadgets worth thousands of pesos, can’t buy app/service worth less than a hundred…

abuzalzal · 11 years ago

iFlix = Para sa mga tangengot na hindi alam mag Torrent

bow

carloxy · 11 years ago

haha so galit ka rin malamang sa spotify? :D

andre · 11 years ago

tayong lahat ang magmumukhang tangengot pag nagsara ang mga film companies dahil di na sila kumikita dahil sa piracy.

otot · 11 years ago

just so you know…hindi ako tangengot at alam ko mag-torrent…i subscribed to iflix because i hate piracy…the price is very cheap for the pleasure (without guilt) that you’ll get.

andre · 11 years ago

I highly doubt if typical Philippine broadband speeds can handle HD streams, so there.

carloxy · 11 years ago

well atleast make it an option to those who has an internet capable of streaming HD ala Youtube with its options to either play 360p, 720p or 1080p :)

andre · 11 years ago

that is probably the next step, however long it will take to get there.

licensing fees are higher for HD, so I can assure you that the monthly fee will not be PHP 99 when HD finally comes out. it will likely be a premium service.

anyway, it’s a good start. Here in Singapore, we still do not have a TV/movie streaming service. So in that respect, the PH and Malaysia are ahead of Singapore ;)

carloxy · 11 years ago

actually, just checked the FAQ section of Iflix and it seems that you’re right, the HD streaming is still being worked on, hopefully it will be implemented soon as watching 360p videos on a 1080p screen looks crappy as heck hehe . :D
