Subchannel history

Since its addition to the subchannel lineup, One PH has been transmitted in widescreen on the channel 18 multiplex, while a 4:3 letterboxed feed is shown for the channel 51 multiplex; the latter would later mirror its widescreen feed with the former's multiplex sometime later. On April 16, 2023, output on DWET-TV began broadcasting its main channel in 16:9 widescreen output. The One Sports subchannel feeds, however, converted to widescreen broadcasting less than a year later, on January 22, 2024. Upon the launch of RPTV on February 1, 2024, it replaced the subchannel space of One PH, which reverted its availability to pay TV and streaming.
