SolarFlix (formerly Entertainment Central or ETC) is a Philippine free-to-air television network owned by the Southern Broadcasting Network, a subsidiary of Solar Entertainment Corporation. Its digital free-to-air broadcast is carried by SBN's flagship station, DWCP-DTV (channel 21) in Metro Manila. The channel's analog broadcast is available on its lone provincial TV station, DXSS-TV (channel 7) in Davao City. SolarFlix is also carried by several cable and satellite providers, including Sky Cable, Destiny Cable, Cablelink, Binangonan Cable TV Corporation, Cignal, SatLite, Sky Direct, and G Sat, along with various provincial cable operators. More recently, the channel has been made available through online streaming.
SolarFlix operates daily from 8:00 a.m. to midnight on digital free TV, and is broadcast 24 hours a day on most paid television and streaming service providers. Following the 2021 Holy Week in the Philippines, the channel has begun singing off from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday at 8:00 a.m., citing religious reasons. The channel previously operated daily from 5:00 a.m. to midnight on free-to-air analog TV until September 2019, when SBN permanently closed its analog signal.
SolarFlix broadcasts from Solar Entertainment's studio headquarters, located at the Worldwide Corporate Center in Mandaluyong. Solar's office is located at the Solar Century Tower in Metro Manila. SBN delivers free-to-air broadcasts from its transmitter and tower site located in the Nuestra Señora de la Paz Subdivision of Antipolo, Rizal.
