Another innovation has surfaced under the belt of broadband and digital services provider PLDT HOME, and that’s the new TVolution Stick in collaboration with multinational technology company Intel.
Taking off from the country’s first over-the-top (OTT) device, the TVolution (a small device that turns an ordinary TV into an Internet TV), the TVolution Stick takes it a step further by transforming any HDMI-ready TV or monitor into a fully operational computer. No bigger than a dongle, the TVolution Stick is based on the Intel Compute Stick and runs on Windows OS 8.1, letting users stream movies and videos, search the web, send and receive emails, and do other activities that are normally done on a PC.

Offering integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies, the TVolution Stick sports a powerful quad-core Intel Atom processor and Intel HD Graphics to ensure smooth performance and vivid picture quality. Its pocket-sized body, designed to be portable and space-efficient, carries 32GB storage, 2GB memory, a USB 2.0 port, and a microSD card slot. Users simply need to plug the TVolution Stick into the TV’s HDMI port to activate the computer on screen, and can easily charge it via DC wall charger or powerbank.
On a limited run only until November 30, new subscribers of DSL Plans 999 and up and all PLDT HOME Fibr plans who apply online will get this nifty gadget for free, along with popular content from Fox, iflix, and Spinnr.
This collaboration with Intel comes at the heels of the breakthrough partnerships with global entertainment company and Fox International Channels and Internet TV service iflix. Apart from these, PLDT HOME partnered with various digital lifestyle applications to complement the needs of its consumers.
