Pilipinas HD

Pilipinas HD was a Philippine free-to-air television channel that broadcasts cultural programming. During its initial broadcast from June 12 (Philippine Independence Day) until August 31, 2016, Chino Trinidad rented a satellite space to all subscription providers to be able to watch by the viewing public free of charge.^[1][2]

On September 1, 2016, Pilipinas HD was launched on digital terrestrial television, following a blocktime deal signed with Broadcast Enterprises and Affiliated Media, Inc. However, unlike its pay-TV counterpart, BEAM TV handles and supplies the channel's programming on a dedicated subchannel.

On November 4, 2024, the channel started to timeshare with D8TV as part of its soft launching on digital television. On November 7 of the same year, the channel began broadcasting in anamorphic 16:9 aspect ratio.

On January 20, 2025, the channel ceased broadcast after 8 years and 6 months of broadcasting, and six months following Trinidad's sudden passing in July 2024. D8TV then took over full-time on the same BEAM TV subchannel space.

These were the list of programs aired prior to the channel's closure:
