ABS-CBN TVplus was soft launched as Sky TV+ on 2011 and ABS-CBN started a DTT test broadcast on Channel 43 while the company is still waiting for the National Telecommunications Commission's release of a draft implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the Philippines' transition to digital television.
When they finally launched in February 11, 2015, Sky TV+ branding was dropped in favor of ABS-CBN TVplus to avoid any confusion with SkyCable. However, first batch of ABS-CBN TVplus being sold during first 3 months since its full launch were mostly a rebadged units of Sky TV+ digital TV set-top boxes but traces of its former branding can be found on its packaging with the former branding being covered by the ABS-CBN TVplus logo sticker, and also on its preinstalled original firmware.

After NTC released the IRR for digital television in December 2014, ABS-CBN finally launched ABS-CBN TVplus on February 11, 2015. The set-top box itself later had a brand new look in 2016. The ABS-CBN TVplus set top box and its services have shut down on June 30, 2020 due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National Telecommunications Commission.
During the congressional hearing for the renewal of ABS-CBN's broadcast franchise, ABS-CBN Corporation confirmed that they have stopped selling TVplus boxes in February 2020 after the media conglomerate's subsidiary and TVplus' parent, ABS-CBN Convergence failed to secure a separate legislative franchise during that same month.
In September 2021, its unsold inventory of the TVplus units were repackaged as ABS-CBN TVplus Digital TV Receiver, with a new packaging, removing any traces of ABS-CBN free-to-air digital channels and its Premium Channels including the "Ang Mahiwagang Black Box" tagline, and a new price that competes with a similar digital TV set-top boxes. These repackaged units are now advertised as a regular digital TV set-top box that receives any free-to-air digital channels.'
