Net 25, with the help of GEMNET, had the first digital and full HD coverage of the 2010 Philippine elections via the ISDB-T system through their sister station's frequency, Channel 49. It also offered real-time election results via datacasting. However, the coverage was only available in some areas in the Philippines. Test digital broadcasts are still being done by the station by simulcasting their evening news program, Mata ng Agila through Channel 49.
From September 7, 2017, in time for its 8th year since INC's Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo took office, INCTV was granted a "special authority" from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to move its analog feed from UHF Channel 49 to UHF Channel 48, allowing the Net 25 and INCTV channel to simulcast digitally in full-time, which began two days earlier, on 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 2021, NET 25 has started its Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) broadcasts in the areas of Mega Manila on UHF 28 (557.143 MHz). On January 29, 2022, NET 25's Digital Terrestrial TV transmitter power suddenly increased from 500 watts to 5kW. On April 27, 2022, it further received a signal increase to 10kW transmitter power.
In October 2022, Eagle Broadcasting Corporation began its expansion rollout on airing NET 25 and INCTV outside Mega Manila as a provisional authority in Baguio City, covering the northern and central parts of Luzon.
