“Contrary to a news item that was published last February 18 on the Newsbytes Philippines website, GMA Network reiterated that it continues to maintain its position that the country should adopt the European Digital Video Broadcast-Terrestrial (DVB-T2) standard over the Japanese digital TV or the Integrated Services Digital Broadcast-Terrestrial (ISDB-T), given the clear technical superiority of the European standard.
