TV5 International continues to expand with the recent launch of channels Kapatid TV5 and Aksyon TV International in Canada.
Held last November 3 during the PNT Singing Idol 2102 Grand Finals in Vancouver, the launch introduced to the Canadian public the availability of TV5’s channels through the Turbo TV bar, an IPTV (internet protocol television)-powered device that transforms regular TV into a smart TV.
The Turbo TV bar allows users the flexibility to download and install their favorite Apps from the Google Store. Viewers can enjoy both local Canadian programs and TV5’s news and entertainment shows while having the functions of a desktop computer on their television sets.
The Turbo TV Android Set top box also comes with a built-in camera, allowing users to surf the web and connect with their family and friends on Twitter, Facebook, Skype, and Youtube.
“Turbo TV is the first to offer this kind of cutting-edge technology to Filipinos living overseas, combining entertainment with almost everything one wants to do online,” said Claro Carmelo Ramirez, president of PGN, Ltd. “This is truly revolutionary and we are optimistic that our Kapatids in Canada will love this product.”
TV5’s Kapatid TV5 and Aksyon TV International are the only channels from the Philippines offered via the Turbo TV Filipino package, which is powered by Vancouver-based AEBC Internet Corp. and distributed by Reyfort Media Group all over Canada.
Plans are also already underway for a bigger launch in the country sometime next year, with hopes to reach more Filipinos living in other key areas in the region.
