Analog-to-digital conversion

From September 7, 2017, in time for its 8th year since INC's Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo entered office, INCTV was granted a "special authority" from the National Telecommunications Commission to move its analog feed from UHF Channel 49 to UHF Channel 48 to allow the former channel to simulcast digitally in full-time, which began two days earlier (September 5). The shift was arranged for the station until its management announced its intention to permanently shut down analog broadcasts and go digital-only.

As of October 1, 2018, Net 25 closed its analog TV signal, until April 7, 2022, when it resumed on-air until the formal analog shut off phase by the end of 2023.

As of October 2021, NET 25 has started its Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) broadcasts in selected areas of Metro Manila on UHF channel 28 (557.143 MHz).
