Dr. Barbara Ross‑Lee, President of the EDTV Network, Announces Major Progress on the EDTV Box Connecting to Any Standard Smart TV

NORTH PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2026 / Dr. Barbara Ross‑Lee, pioneering educator, medical leader, and President of the EDTV Network, today announced significant advancements in the development of the EDTV Box - a breakthrough device designed to connect to virtually any standard smart television and deliver individualized education at scale. The EDTV Box is engineered to ingest virtually any curriculum, from K-12 to postgraduate programs, and use advanced AI to understand the content and deliver it in the unique way each individual learns. "The educational system designs programs for one size fits all, knowing that each student learns in their own way," said Dr. Ross‑Lee. "EDTV changes that. A curriculum designed for millions can now be separated and personalized so each student learns in the way that works best for them." EDTV Network will operate on a subscription model, enabling schools, districts, and organizations to input mass‑designed curricula that the EDTV Box then transforms into individualized learning experiences. The system is built to support general education, home schooling, continuing education, and specialized learning needs."While general use needs to be addressed with teachers and educators on a global scale, our projects will start with special education and with communities whose cultural disadvantages are not typically addressed using conventional means," Dr. Ross‑Lee added. "The system will also integrate with telemedicine and, with appropriate guardrails, provide active companionship and psychological well‑being support."Dr. Ross‑Lee emphasized the importance of responsible AI adoption. "I know people are concerned about AI, but it is here and we must learn to control it and put it into our systems effectively before it controls us. It is here to stay."The EDTV Box will plug directly into any television and create a persistent AI guide - chosen by the user - who remains available for instruction, conversation, and support. Guides will be offered in 40 languages, enabling global reach and cultural adaptability.The EDTV Network platform is built on patented and patent‑pending technologies developed by founder and co‑inventor Lisa Pamintuan and represented by WorldIPI.com. The device is expected to retail to school districts, organizations, and educational programs for approximately $50, with an estimated $25 per month average cost for AI token usage. These costs are anticipated to be covered by districts or special‑needs programs. The system is designed to scale to millions of students worldwide."EDTV Network is committed to working with teachers, educators, doctors, and professionals to increase the quality of education while minimizing disruption to those who have served - and continue to serve - our communities," said Dr. Ross‑Lee.---ABOUT DR.
