Title: SkyCable HD
Post by: DViant on May 23, 2008 at 08:49 PM
According to this (http://www.philmug.ph/forum/showthread.php?p=389682#post389682) Sky Cable will be rolling out HD services next month. Right now Magallanes is said to be the test bed for the service. Can anyone verify this claim?

I'm sure they'll charge for it after all why not make money off the people who can afford expensive HDTVs?

AFAIK maski 1 company lang magpasok ng HD sa pinas madidistribute na maski saan. parang Dream kasi yan na may satellite bawat bahay. medyo mahal lang lang kasi kelangan ng sat box for each tv. i have an uncle in the states, $200+ a month daw bayad nya for 4 sat boxes

Some of the HDTV shows na nagpalaglag ng baba ko (pinulot ko na ulit)  ;D

Carrier
UFC 84
Lamborghini Factory
Megafactories - Tanks
Mythbusters
The Masters
House Season 4
CSI (NY, Vegas, Miami)
Prison Break Season
Heroes Season
Sarah Connor Chronicles
Gossip Girl
Discovery Channel 100 Greatest Discoveries

Hopefully, magkaroon na nga ng HD service sa Philippines soonest.    Instead of catalogue high def movies, mas sulit ang high def TV kung meron kang HDTV kahit 720p lang - and the variety of contents is simply much wider.
Title: Re: Sky Cable HD?
Post by: Marl☆1 on Jun 08, 2008 at 05:42 PM
So is there anybody who can confirm if this is indeed happening soon for Sky?  I tried googling this exhaustively and didn't get any hits.  Must be a soft rumor.

Anyway if you're really hot on HD broadcast, then why not try Dream?  Per TV nga lang ang bayad, but then again... if you can afford a high investment panel TV...  ;D

My colleagues is staying in Magallanes area & Sky Cable service staff already went to her home. She's not really familiar with what happened but based on her description, it seems Sky Cable has installed a "Digital Set-top Box" (No HD). She can view "Info Text" on the chanels i.e. info on the programes, time/duration, etc. The drawback now is she can't use a spliter anymore for her extra TV... ;D

I doubt HD service will be provided so soon by our cable providers but if it materializes that will be indeed good news. :)

Maybe it's just digital programming sir Pchin but not yet hd.  ;D I think digital programming itself is twice clearer than regular cable programs which is not  bad.

I agree.  ;D

I'm still pessimistic about this. I think our cable companies still don't have the technology to provide their subscrubers with HD programming. The question is what local channels or Asian channels are showing their programs in HD? None at this moment, right? If there is may be just a few of them. In USA, Directv in particular, they only charge their customers $9.99 extra every month for hd programming fee. So I hope that Skycable wouldn't rip their customers' pockets if they're gonna provide this service here in the Philippines.

I wouldn't mind paying a premium for HD programing. If you can afford to buy a 150,000 pesos 52-inch Samsung LA52A650 then by all means you can pay more for HD cable.

very interesting ... if indeed sky is going HD by year end, then we can (or should) expect some ads regarding this in a few months ....
let's just hope that the added premium will not relate to staggering subscription fees though...  :o

Skycable installed my dighboxes in May. As per their advisory, our area (Pasay) was supposed to go digital by the end of May, and we would require the digibox to receive the signal. And yes, the pq improved. The digiboxes come free for existing subscribers, one box for every declared TV set.

Post by: aeris30 on Sep 12, 2008 at 12:21 PM
I read an article in today's (Sept. 12) Phil. Star on page A33 that SkyCable is offering a pay-per-view high-definition broadcast of the 2008 Ryder Cup from Sept. 19-22 for those with HDTVs. An HD decoder (different from their digibox) will be provided for subscribers. Subscription is P2000 (includes subscription cost, installation & HD decoder box).
Title: Re: Sky Cable HD?
Post by: dyerds on Sep 12, 2008 at 01:05 PM
2k for four days!?!  ::)  ::)  ::) If many customers bite this over-priced subscription then they will have no reason not to over price their hd programming subscription in the future. All they need to do is just provide their customer with hd receiver and they will get hd programming anytime they want. It's not like you have to pay every time you want watch tv in hd.   >:(

Sky Cable Philippines delivers nation's first HD broadcast with Ryder Cup

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 16th 2008 at 7:04AM
Initially, we wondered why Sky Cable Philippines would choose the Ryder Cup as the nation's first HD broadcast, but then we remembered that there's really no better way to show off the benefits of high-def than to showcase a sporting event. Reportedly the cable carrier will be delivering the four day event (September 19th through 22nd) in magnificent high-definition to those who take the plunge on an HD set-top-box. Too bad that box costs a stiff $42, but hopefully this is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

We subscribed to the HD broadcast of the Ryder Cup this weekend. We paid P2000 for the HD digital box receiver made by Coship & Ryder Cup HD Broadcast. The unit can output 480p, 576p, 720p, & 1080i resolutions & it even upscales regular tv broadcast to said resolutions. Video output thru HDMI, component & regular analog output. Audio output thru optical or regular analog outs. The unit downsamples AC3 to regular 2 channel PCM.

There are 2 channels alloted for HD broadcast. One for the Ryder Cup & the other is showing Luxe TV HD for the past few days & today National Geographic HD is on test broadcast.

Since Skycable is already distributing digital cable channels and has the extra bandwidth to carry HD, it is  just a matter of deploying the HD capable digital boxes in order to distribute HD signals. Soon, there will be more HD programming from the satellites servicing this region hence there will be more choices.

On a related note, local broadcasters I'm sure is already taping their local shows (teleseryes) on HD in anticipation of this improved quality of transmission. In fact, some of ABS CBN programs are being mastered on HD  so that it will be marketable overseas. They have to convert it first to standard definition before broadcast over the air but the masters are in HD. I will not be surprised if Sky will come up with an HD-teleserye channel in the future.

we have the digibox installed, but we never really subscribed for it, more like it was forced upon us lol....without it we would only be getting local channels..bummer

while there is definitely a significant improvement in PQ, not all channels improved evenly, some with only minor improvement. still that's better than nothing....

i just read this thread for the first time, and got a bit excited about the possibility of HD programming locally...can't wait to watch crystal clear TV shows.

i was in the US a year ago around jan, and if there's anything that i can't forget about the entire trip was the reception of the cable TV that was being broadcast....i don't think my relatives are even savvy enough to be ordering any kind of HDTV programming (i never really asked, maybe later when they get on skype i'll ask) but every single channel was astounding....of course i was only watching on a regular ray-tube TV, but still, i have never seen cable television that clear, every channel seemed like it was being fed from a DVD player...it's scary to think what real HDTV might look like :P

I expect SkyCable's HD will be low bit rate 720p streams.

720 is already better than what ordianry dvd can give, which is more or less what standard HD progrmamming in the US offers (at least i think so....not sure if i read that somewhere on the net too), i for one would be happy at DVD quality programming.

it's like apple's itunes store selling HD stuff but in reality it's not fullHD stuff, not yet anyway....(well that's how it was last time i checked, if things have changed in apples itunes store then maybe i'll start considering ordering shows, maybe even an apple tv soon)
Title: Re: SkyCable HD

Good to hear these positive feedback. So SkyCable HD progamming could materialize sooner than we thought. I'm already happy with 720p...  :D

SKYCABLE LAUNCHES HIGH DEFINITION TV SERVICE
By Mary Ann Ll. Reyes Updated April 29, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Leading cable television service provider SkyCable has brought television viewing to a higher level with the introduction of high definition TV (HDTV), the new standard in TV technology fast sweeping across the United States, Europe and Asia.

The new service is now available to its subscribers in Metro Manila in areas that are digital-ready. SkyCable officials revealed that about 90 percent of the metropolis is digital-ready. The company has around 100,000 subscribers in Metro Manila, of which around 40 percent are already using the digital platform.

SkyCable invested about P6 million for the two HD channels as well as for the installation of the transmission equipment and additional integrated receiver decoder.

SkyCable marketing head Ray Montinola revealed that the company is also set to launch another new service within the year – video on demand (VOD). Also in the works are two other new services which may be made available next year – picture on picture and personal video recorder (PVR) which will require additional set-top boxes. The PVR is similar to TiVO (tv on demand) which has a very large following in the US.

HDtv ushers the era of superior resolution and digital sound. HD programs seen on HD-compatible TV sets enable viewers to enjoy rich and vivid images completed by clear sound. This revolutionary technology gives the viewers the feeling of being ‘in’ the program because of its superior clarity, with pictures two to five times sharper than ordinary tv resolution and seen on a 16:9 wide-screen format or the same format used in movie theaters.

SkyCable’s HDtv subscription requires the use of an HD decoder box that will decrypt SkyCable’s HD pay-per view signal. Subscribers will then get access to HD programs that feature images and sound of superior quality. But aside from decoding the signal of SkyCable HD content, the HD box also provides a seven-day on-screen program guide to help subscribers keep track of program schedules as well as the convenience of the ‘favorite channels’ function.

Company officials emphasized that SkyCable’s move to bring HDtv to the Philippine market is in line with the firm’s commitment to bring innovation in the cable industry. Local subscribers first got to experience HDtv when SkyCable presented the Ryder Cup gold tournament in high definition during the last part of 2008.

SkyCable will offer two new channels, History HD and Discovery HD, with high definition content, as part of the P499 monthly service fee per television, which will be on top of the MSF being paid per tv by subscribers currently on digital platform. Meanwhile, the HD decoder box is included in the one-time P5,000 installation fee.

Officials revealed that those that are on digital platform and have a digital set-top box (digibox) will only have to pay a P3,000 installation fee, representing the difference between the P5,000 HD installation fee and the P2,000 already paid for the digibox. Those that are on the analog platform will have to check whether their areas are digital-ready and go directly to an HD subscription. The digibox cannot decode the HD signal and will have to be replaced by the HD box.

It was also learned that SkyCable is working on bringing another HD channel in soon, but any channel in addition to History and Discovery HD will be charged separately.

Right now, HD content is foreign produced. Companies like ABS-CBN Broadcasting, GMA Network and ABC-5 are preparing for the shift from analog to digital transmission and are awaiting government rules on the shift to digital.

SKY CABLE GOES 'PICTURE PERFECT'
by Kristine Servando, abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak | 04/28/2009 8:17 PM


In the posh boardroom of the company's top cable provider sat a shiny new Sony Bravia high-definition television (HDTV), curiously enclosed within iron grills, and showing a herd of lions. A top SkyCable executive joked, "The grills are to prevent the lions from leaping out at us."

This is precisely the kind of "clear as real" experience that SkyCable aims to provide with the launch of two new high-definition programs on cable TV, reportedly a first in the entire country.

With the introduction of the SkyCable HD box and two new educational programs in HD, the company guarantees it will entice viewers who want a "life-changing" TV experience via enhanced picture and sound quality.

For now, the HD channels being offered are Discovery Channel (ch. 164) and the History Channel (ch. 165), both of which offer exclusive documentaries and features.

However, SkyCable Marketing Vice President Rodrigo Montinola revealed that negotiations are in the works for other HD offerings like sports, a follow-up to their prior HD coverage of the Ryder Cup in 2008.

"We're looking at one way to really appreciate HD via sports events so we're looking at a specific set (of sports events), which may follow a [pay-per-view] format. It will be something that our subscribers can appreciate," he said.

Malou Esparrago, SkyCable's head of Postpaid Marketing, said the HD package is meant for households with LCD, plasma, or projector TV sets, who have had to contend with slightly pixellated standard-definition programming because of a lack of HD content in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

According to SkyCable's Research and Development Vice President Engr. Mike Martir, there are only so many HD programs available in Southeast Asia because they occupy too much bandwidth and are too expensive to be beamed via satellite.

He said each HD channel cost the company P3 Million, amounting to about P6 Million or more, including  equipment costs for an additional integrated receiver-decoder (IRD) and transmission equipment.

Subscribers also need to be "digital-ready" SkyCable subscribers, or must own TVs with digital connections, to avail of the service so they can make the easy transition to HD. Programs will be beamed via satellite in both 1080i or 1080p formats, along with mpeg2 audio, basically giving a subscriber a clearer picture and superior sound.

The SkyCable HD box, which can only work with LCD or plasma screen TVs, as well as projector TVs, can carry both standard definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) programs. Subscribers will pay a one-time installation fee of P5,000 for the HD box (which can also play music from a USB flash drive) and P499 a month for the two HD programs. Additional TVs in the household each require a separate HD box, but HD programs for succeeding TVs will only cost P152 a month.

Households which have already purchased the SkyCable DigiBox, which offers digital content, will pay less if they swap their existing Digibox with an HD box.

Luxury product

The HD package, however, is far from becoming a mass-market product, a fact which SkyCable executives are fully aware.

Esparrago admits that the product, which is exclusive to SkyCable subscribers, is only geared towards a small market of affluent males who are likely to have disposable income.

"We realize it's not going to be a mass market kind of thing, it's really for the upscale market who want it and who can pay for it. What we're doing for HD is that those who want to get that kind of technology, at least the content is already available," she said.

Currently, 90% of SkyCable's estimated 250,000 Metro Manila subscribers are already digital-ready, and about 100,000 already have DigiBoxes, but only a small percentage of this constitute the rich boy market who are willing to make the HD transition.

However, SkyCable executives and their partner companies Sony electronics company and appliance retailer Abenson, are reportedly not worried about the global economic crisis, when consumers tend to scrimp on spending for big-ticket items like plasma screen TVs.

Esparrago said they are confident in Abenson's and Sony's sales figures, which reportedly show that people are still buying expensive gadgets.

"For now, we are still having a lot of buyers of the LCD TVs, and I think for the Philippines, it's not affected by what they call the recession because most of our items, normally LCD TVs, are still being bought," said Jong dela Cruz, an Abenson Marketing officer.

The HD's luxury status, however, does not mean that the companies are not coming up with promos to capture the less affluent market.

Montinola said they will be launching SkyCable Select, which allows the subscriber to customize the amount and type of programs he or she watches on TV; "Video on Demand", which allows viewers to watch any program at any time; as well as partnerships with Abenson and Sony to make the HD experience more affordable through discounts.

Dream home theater

However, is the HDTv and plasma screen experience really the life-changing event that it's hyped up to be? Is it really worth the hole in your wallet? Definitely, said ABS-CBN Corporate Communications Manager Kane Choa, who recently purchased one such plasma screen TV.

"I pay a lot more. But it's nice, it's like having a mini-theater in your living room. Usually you can only experience HD quality when you watch DVDs, and you can really see the difference--the colors are sharper, it's much clearer than the regular SD," he said.

"I feel like I don't want to go back to SD because you'll really acquire the taste for HD, you'll learn to get used to it," he added.

Aside from this leap into HD, SkyCable also promises to make more innovations in the future, all geared towards giving the Philippine public amazing viewing experiences.

"We're also developing a box now that is supposed to provide picture on picture (where viewers can watch several shows in one TV screen). We are also developing a box with a personal video recorder, much like a TiVo. The new boxes are still in the testing stage, maybe within the year or next year, we can have these," Martir said.

Esparrago said, however, that a quick jump into a "super-box" that encompasses many features will be too costly, should it be introduced to the market right now.

"The more features, the more expensive it will be, something that the market cannot bear at this point. But we want SkyCable to be the first to bring it into the Philippine market so that the Philippines can be as advanced as other countries," she said.

Nevertheless, with SkyCable's initial steps into HD technology, and with more TV innovations lined up in the immediate future, who knows maybe we can expect lions and more to leap out of our TV screens someday.

SKYCABLE LAUNCHES HDTV CHANNELS

THE COUNTRY’S top cable TV operator yesterday launched two new channels with "high-definition" content, now available to Metro Manila subscribers.

SkyCable Corp. executives said History HD and Discovery HDchannels now offer images and sound of superior quality.

"Pictures are two to five times sharper than ordinary TV resolution available today and are seen in a 16:9 wide-screen format, the same format used in movie theaters," SkyCable corporate marketing head Arlene Torres said in a statement.

History HD features original non-fiction series and "event-driven" specials that cover various historical genres, science, archaeology, and pop culture.

Discovery HD features programs on the different wonders of the world in "superb imagery and expansive detail."

The HDtv subscription requires the use of an HD decoder box which will decode SkyCable’s HD Pay-Per-View signal.

i'm all for discovery and history channel going HD, but at 500php additional cost + the initial cost of 3-5k (installation) yikes, it's a bit too steep....especially when HD content readily available to most users educated enough to go HD in the first place...

it's a very promising thing though, and i can't deny the excitement that HD programming is actually just around the corner.. (weeeeee) :)

hopefully when the HD line-up expands it includes:

Biography channel (quickly becoming my fave channel)
BTV (i mean c'mon it's the NBA...or at least give us HD broadcast of the playoffs)
NGC

....that Tivo like box sounds very promising as well....can't wait to see the specs on that thing

Yes its good na HD is around the corner but skycable is not helping promote it in anyway by having 500php and all the charges for 2 channels. All that will come out is we tried HD it was not really succesful here in the Philippine....duh its because you greedy people pegged unreasonably high for people to watch
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: pchin on May 04, 2009 at 11:32 AM
SkyCable should offer an irresistable introduction promo e.g. the first 200 subsribers will only pay P1,000 installation fee (better still: installation fee is waived!!) & receive a 3-mth free rental, etc....you know, something that will make people jump into it....a sweet offer that we can't refuse... ;D

Hay...Very poor marketing indeed....  :P

I think SKYCable should be hailed instead, for taking a risk loosing financially just to take the Philippines into the HD era.  If its cheap to go HD then how come no one else if doing it?  I'm sure if this takes off the rate will go down pa.

I would like to see others following SKY's lead on this, sana nga lang eh risk takers rin ang ibang companies.  :)

mmm..never heard of that company, but will definitely be looking out for that.

as far as hailing skycable, i too think they are definitely a step ahead of anyone as far as cable broadcasting, but i fear they aren't motivated by being pioneers here.  take the digibox for example, that imo was driven for a need to stop people from "stealing" from them via illegal connections.  the result for end users though is a somewhat clearer picture, although it kinda makes the tuner that comes with the TV useless :(

i'm still hopefull that they see more income in lowering their prices so that more people can actually enjoy HD programming.  after all most of the money spenders out there belong to a bracket that probably don't see the value in paying that much for 2 channels.

....hopefully the redo their market study and see that even the manufacturers of these high-end systems have made their products very reachable.  the best example i can think of is my own pv80, 2-3yrs ago nobody would believe that the prices of plasma TVs at 42" would have ever been so low, granted it is panasonic's so-called entry-level plasma. :)

Given they're the first with the service in the country and a certain demographic can afford HDTVs and HD players P499 isn't that bad.

P499/month translates to around P8/day a channel.

A cup of rice costs more than P8.

You can set the HD Box to output either at 480/720p/1080i, at default it's at 1080i.. gumanda ng konti non-hd channels ko, since i upgraded directly from a non digibox connection to the HD digital box.. (sabi ng installer ganun din daw pag nag upgrade to digibox).. MPEG2 H.264 yung mga HD channels, MPEG2 MPEG2 for the non-hd ones..

I checked out the channel line up of Cignal and its main competition is Dream. By including additional HD channels on top of the SD offerings, this would surely lure Dream subs which lately are complaining of bad service.

Sky's HD offering on the other hand was priced to approximate that of Cignal's offer. Potential subs for Cignal or switchers from Sky must check out first the channel offerings of the two services before making their decision. The way I look at it, Sky would still have the upper hand considering the number of SD channels that they offer. On the other hand Cignal's target would be new subdivision that do not have sky cable facilities laid out in their poles, significantly eating up into Dream's market share.

kaya lang if your using splitters at home the signal is weaker so they need to layout a new cable line from outside your house direct to the tv that you want the HD BOX installed.
all for free atleast for 15 days. ;D

It's just too pricey. It's a good thing I was on SKycable platinum, kaya 3k na lang daw kasi nag deposit na ako ng 2k dati for the platinum.

if you are a sky silver plan customer like me the additional 499/month for 2 HD channels is ok since nasama naman yun ibang sky platinum premiums like basketball tv (ch.149) sa subcription ng HD BOX so its like upgrading to sky platinum plan, also the installer told me that sky will add 1 more HD channel (ch.166 reserved HD) included in your 499/month subscription.

-is it possible to split the signal to all of our other television sets without subscribing for an exta digibox like what we currently do?
-if yes, will it enjoy the same channells?

Steph, the answer is no you can't

That's one of the reason why SKYCable went digital to prevent pilferage, kaya nga may digibox eh para encrypted yung signal, without the digibox di ka makakanood sa ibang sets.  Pwede kung after the digibox ka mag splitter pero yung channels pare-pareho all the time, kung ano yung channel na nakatune in yung digibox.

@Mr Big Boy

skycable is offering a 15-day trial for qualified skycable customers for the 2 HD channels it includes the installation & use of the COSHIP HD BOX... we had our installed this morning.
kaya lang if your using splitters at home the signal is weaker so they need to layout a new cable line from outside your house direct to the tv that you want the HD BOX installed.
all for free atleast for 15 days. ;D

DISCOVERY HD is fantastic... lalo na yun HD EXPERIENCE PROGRAM nila.
HISTORY HD is a little bit boring so far except for the DA VINCI STORY. wanep :P

Sir, para ba itong free trial din ng skybroadband nila? unfortunately my place (Juan luna, Tondo) is not yet prime for skyinternet but are already HD capable area. Will call to see if i can avail of their free HD trial.
Title: UAAP in HD

UAAP season 72 opens in historic style--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 07/09/2009 12:20 PM



       
MANILA – Collegiate athletes and their supporters are in for a historic opening of the 72nd season of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) on Saturday.

Host Far Eastern University (FEU) is set to thrill audiences with the 1 p.m. opening ceremony program at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City. This will be followed by games featuring the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers vs. Adamson University Falcons at 2 p.m., and De La Salle Green Archers vs. University of the East Red Warriors at 4 p.m.

As for those who will not be able to watch the UAAP season 72 opening live, they are still in for a one-of-a-kind viewing experience. 

ABS-CBN Sports vice-president Peter Musngi said Saturday’s UAAP telecast is the “first program on high definition (HD),” making it a “historic first for Philippine television.”

It is expected that covering and transmitting the UAAP in full HD will enhance the viewing experience as the pictures are more alive and crisp.

Viewers would need an HD box to get a hold of the UAAP “HD experience,” dubbed as the “second best thing to being there.”

Musngi, meantime, said that those without an HD box who would watch the UAAP on standard definition (on ABS-CBN’s Studio 23 and Balls Channel) will still have an improved viewing experience.

“Mas malutong ang kulay, mas makikita ang fouls,” assured Musngi.

When asked by the press how much ABS-CBN spent on HD technology, Musngi admitted that it was indeed an investment, refusing to reveal the exact amount of money used. “I can only tell you that the UAAP is worth it.”

Contract concerns

It has been nine years since the UAAP and ABS-CBN Sports forged a partnership. Musngi noted that 2009 is the last year between UAAP and ABS-CBN Sports.

“Negotiations are moving rather well,” he told ABS-CBN News, pertaining to talks of a contract renewal.

“Both sides are working together for an early resolution,” he added.

Musngi also cited ABS-CBN Sports’ efforts to promote other UAAP sports apart from basketball. He, however, mentioned the “sheer impossibility” of giving airtime to all sports.

“Every season, we develop at least two other sports,” he said. He mentioned that women’s volleyball is gaining ground.

He explained that giving focus on basketball does not mean they are sacrificing other sports for basketball. Though he stressed, “It’s still basketball.”

My Sky HD signals look great.  I just noticed that there is a slight judder during sweeping pan shots of highly-detailed HD landscapes.  Otherwise, the images (especially close-ups) were crystal clear and 3D-like.  As for the UAAP broadcasts, the judder problem is more pronounced but there was a drastic improvement after we ran our set-top box continuously for a couple of days (we don't shut off the set-top box - just the TV).  I'm guessing that a firmware upgrade for the set-top box would solve these minor irritants.

 ;D

Post by: tetablanco on Jul 14, 2009 at 08:07 AM
Yes its good na HD is around the corner but skycable is not helping promote it in anyway by having 500php and all the charges for 2 channels. All that will come out is we tried HD it was not really succesful here in the Philippine....duh its because you greedy people pegged unreasonably high for people to watch

The additional P499 you pay for HD broadcasts include 3 HD channels (History HD, Discovery HD, and Balls HD for UAAP broadcasts) plus, I think, around 5 new SD channels (History, FX, etc.).  While my SkyDigital channels only reached up to around channel 142, my upgrade increased it to channel 164 (?) with some extra SD channels thrown in.

balls HD also broadcast the NCAA games live yesterday.
that means balls HD will have live broadcast everyday starting 2pm except tuesdays dahil walang UAAP & NCAA games. baka replays ang ipalabas.
i wonder what balls HD will feature after the UAAP & NCAA season is over. maybe UFC in HD?

Question to those who have the HD Box.
Does my existing cable wires inside the house compatible? Im currently using the ordinary skycable box to watch cable tv.
My cable wires are all line inside the wall thru a PVC pipe and cannot be change.
What about the Cignal HD? do they used existing wires? or install new ones? That would be unsightly if they used new wires going thru inside the house.

Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: dr_dohh on Jul 28, 2009 at 04:50 PM
Hey guys just got skycable HD. My audio signal is also stereo. UAAP games, di naman slo mo all the time. i just noticed that when you change it to that particular channel (balls HD), initially it slows down for a couple of seconds, mga less than 10, then normal speed na ulit. di naman bothersome para sa akin. kasi when you ab it with the really bad signal of studio 23, halata. For the UAAP games, I also noticed na wala na ang mga advertising. no more logos, so you just get the signal. also no time outs and commercial breaks. so pag may "extra-curricular activities" during commercial, kitang kita ang action.  ;D

whats more bothersome is the lack of HD content. sobrang boring nung programs IMHO. But, for some reason I also get BTV signal, among the other channels mentioned on the previous posts. so that more than makes up for the lack of content.

With regards to firmware updates, I think the digibox has the capability to download the updates if the cable operator allows it. This was the case with some cable operators abroad for tweaks and improvements.

Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Mr. Big Boy on Jul 24, 2010 at 07:28 PM
7 Channels na pala ang HD ng SKY.  Real HD ito hindi tulad ng sa Cignal na upscaled lang yung iba.  Nakikita ko dun sa Digibox ko yung mga HD Channels assignment as follows.

164 - Discovery HD
165 - History Channel HD
166 - HBO HD
167 - Balls HD
168 - Reserve HD
169 - Fox Crime HD
170 - Star Movies HD
171 - Nat Geo HD
172 - Reserve HD

Kung may taga SKY dito, may tanong lang ako kung additional 750 pa rin ba yung subsciption fee for HD package on top of the regular fee for SKY gold?  Saka kung may tie-in period ba ito ng morethan 1 year.  
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Stagea on Jul 25, 2010 at 11:29 AM
Hanggang 166 pa din sa channel listing ng box ko. 3 HD channels lang accessible for me (Discovery HD, History HD and Balls HD).

Sa website nila tatlo pa din eh.

May test broadcast kaya that time?

Saan lugar ka ba? Kasi dito ako sa QC.  The Channel list for HD dun sa DigiBox ko parang permanent na yung mga 7 HD Channels + 2 Reserve Channels for HD so di ko alam kung Test Broadcast yun.  Pero andun sila one week na.  Hindi ko lang alam kung may additional fee ang SKY dahil dumami na yung HD Channels nila 7 na sa last count ko nga.  Ito nga yun channel assignments for HD.

164 - Discovery HD
165 - History Channel HD
166 - HBO HD
167 - Balls HD
168 - Reserve HD

TECH: SKYCABLE HDTV REVOLUTIONIZES CABLE TV VIEWING
(FIFA, UAAP and NCCA in HDtv)

Friday, July 09, 2010
Posted by Azrael Coladilla


SkyCable just got in time in the HD revolution and they now offer the SkyCable HD subscription to all tv and cable fans, and thanks to that HD decoder box that uses to decrupt SkyCable HD signal to your HD TV. I experienced a viewing party in a bar in Makati and we watch the FIFA World Cup Matches using the SkyCable HD and a samsung LED TV. It was bright, smooth and looks like that I'm watching the football match in a window. Although the feed sometimes got broken but everything is smooth and we expect delays everytime in cable tv, because the event is streamed live and the live feed causes the delays and pixelation, but over all, the HD broadcast is great! I even took some photos and feels like that I'm in the front seat. (more below)

HD broadcast and progamming is now in the Philippine market, and we have lots of channels and HD broadcast that can be be viewed in full HD, all you need is the SkyCable HD box and a LED or HD TV (Samsung was recommended to use here) And I heard that last September 2008, they tested and HDTV was presented the Ryder Cup Golf Tournament via SkyCable. Sky Cable HD one month subscription will be given if you purchase a Samsung LED or HD TV.

And the big news is that the 73rd season of the UAAP and 86th season of NCAA will be brought via the vivid colors, crisp and HIGH DEFINITION in SkyCable HDtv. Balls HD channel 67 will be the main arena for all sports action in full HD glory, and the first fight will start on July 10, 2010 for the DLSU vs. UP match in UAAP. Don't also forget that the 2010 World Cup is also in HDtc.

For more information, please call the Customer Service Hotline at 631-0000 or send a text message to (0917) 631-0000 and (0918) 863-1000. You may also log on to www.skycable.com.

I just called Sky, and they told me that Balls HD (167) would be for Pay Per View.

Channels 168 to 172 are yet to be functional, and that a separate subscription is needed to access those channels. I asked if they have a price for these added channels, and I was advised that there is still no pricing info.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: jason13 on Jul 26, 2010 at 09:49 AM
Naunahan na pala ako,  :D

The new channels FoxCrime HD, Star Movies HD and Nat Geo HD will be added on August 1.
It will have a subscription fee of 299 for all 3 HD channels. This is aside from the 499 pesos fee for Discovery HD, History HD, HBO HD and Balls HD.

So, to sum up the HD subscription fee, that would be 499+299 = 798 pesos for all the HD channels.

Yep, you need to update or reset your Digibox. You can do it yourself or call Sky.
After the reset, Balls HD will be HBO HD and the 5 HD channels, 3 new ones and 2 reserved channels will show up as well.  :)

Would you happen to know the procedure for the reset (standard white Coship box)? I spoke with two people last night, and neither was completely helpful (aside from telling me that the other channels are yet to be available).

Yup, it was quite simple after I figured out the menu password. LOL.

You did help me with pricing though, as I was told that there was no pricing yet for those additional channels. I will subscribe to these channels in advance. :)

I wish they gave these channels for free to HD subscribers though. :D 3 measly channels per step up is not enough.

Hopefully they give it out for free, again, hopefully...since their competitor, Cignal Satellite TV might add Discovery HD and ESPN HD this coming August as well, I think. :D

They told you that there is no pricing yet but when I called Sky, they told me its 299 in addition to 499.
It seems some Skycable phone reps or maybe most of them are not aligned or calibrated with the information about their services and/or product which I really don't like. Although it's not August 1 yet, maybe by then we will know if it's free or not.

798 lang sa 7 True HD Channels?  Not bad at all affordable na yung 7 HD Channels. Para ka ng nanonood ng Blu-ray movies araw araw and for that price compare kung bibili ka ng BD's eh mura talaga, tapos may mga great documentaries pa from Discovery HD, History Channel HD at NatGeo HD pa!

Yung Balls HD diba free yan hanggang ngayon, I mean kasama na siya sa HD package?

Yung mga HD Channels ba ng SKY walang logo like dun sa Cignal na may mga logo ng Cignal yung mga HD channels nila?  Ang pangit kasi na ganun. 

Sana SKY could carry the GEMTV HD Broadcast na rin, para hindi na kailangan bumili ng ISDB STB to get their HD Signal, nakita ko kasi sa Trinoma na merong HD Broadcast na terrestial ang GEMTV sa display ng Devant LED HDTV na may built-in na ISDB Tuner.

Will the HD box upscale the standard def channels? Is it better to use the HD box over the regular digibox when watching SD channels?

When do you think skycable broadcast in native 16:9 format. Watching regular cable really sucks on an lcd compared to a crt tv.

It will output the SD channels in 1080i, but the built-in scaler is quite poor. The highly compressed signal just looks bad when viewed in a big TV. Parang thumbnail na inexpand sa dami ng artifacts hahaha.

Post by: Stagea on Aug 16, 2010 at 01:08 PM
I have both packages now.

So far, Fox Crime HD and Star Movies HD are not as good as the other channels in terms of PQ. A lot of the material happen to be merely HD-enhanced SD programming (just like HBO HD in the past).

I have both packages now.

So far, Fox Crime HD and Star Movies HD are not as good as the other channels in terms of PQ. A lot of the material happen to be merely HD-enhanced SD programming (just like HBO HD in the past). Even their HD programs don't have the detail or sharpness of Nat Geo HD, for example (higher compression perhaps?).

Aside from the HD package, what SkyCable SD package do you currently have?

Is it possible to record to a DVR the HD feeds that pass through the HD digibox? I was going to buy a Pioneer DVR about a year ago (P24k w/ 80GB drive I think) but was told by the salesman that it wouldn't accept feeds from a skycable digibox.

You might need to use a PVR with a HD-capable component input, because the HDMI output probably employs HDCP. Hauppage sells a PVR with this feature (Gefen stopped selling theirs).

Of course you can also use a PC-based system with HD component inputs.

mga bossing sky hd users. location ko is sampaloc.

first question. Meron na kaya sa amin?

second po Almost 10 years na kasi kaming skycable.plus naka sky broadband pa. ngayong gusto namin mag i vail yung HD. magkano yung initial payment? Succeeding payments (monthly); How many channels are HD?


please pasagot sa mga mababit dyan. Thank you. nga pala kamusta yung ordinary channels nyo like 2 ;5 and 7. sabi sakin ng tauhan medyo angat daw yung quality ng mga channels na yan compare sa digital box pero not in HD. tama po ba?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Stagea on Aug 30, 2010 at 02:40 PM
5000 ang one time charge for the HD digibox, plus yung installation ng outlet (kung wala pang existing). 6 HD channels for 799 per month (or 3 HD channels for 499 per month) on top of your SD subscription.

Yung channels 2, 5 and 7 do seem to look less compressed compared to other SD channels. However, mukhang ganun din naman ang result sa SD digibox namin.

5k is only for the HD box, hiwalay po ang installation charge.

Yes, monthly ng Sky (let's say 1000 pesos for sky gold), tapos 799 pesos. This is for a single TV po. Additional TVs will have additional outlet charges (and additional upfront installation costs and box costs).

The initial cash out for SkyCable's HD installation can set you back but its already cheaper compared to Cignal's HD-Only Inital cash out which costs P 9490. You can have it for least but it's kinda confusing and complicated, well, based on their website.

Ipon muna kung mabigat sa bulsa, sayang ang HDTV if you don't have HD channels.  ;)

Totoo bang may local HD show na daw on SKY HD?  I heard that the new Sarah Gernimos show called "Idol" which was shot in HD was shown or is being shown on SKY HD daw?

I have not come across this (if this was true), but UAAP and NCAA were in HD via Sky. We also caught Net25's test HD broadcasts in the past, and they were also good.

I'm not sure if you get the same issue that I do. SD channels look better via Y/Pr/Pb in my system, versus HDMI. I get mosquito noise on SD channels via HDMI (HD channels look a bit cleaner via HDMI though).

sorry pero i can't test the component connection .. gamit ko na kasi sa dvd player .. okay naman sa akin ang sd channels .. kaso ayaw ko ng naka-stretch sila kaya inadjust ko sa settings na malagyan sila ng black bars sa sides .. para maretain yung 4:3 aspect ... pag sa hd channels automatic na mawawala na yung black bars ... ganyan din kase ang ginawa ko dati nung digibox pa lang kami ... :)
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Stagea on Sep 13, 2010 at 02:57 PM
In my case kasi softer yung picture nung Y/Pr/Pb connection sa HD box (same settings sa TV), versus HDMI. Pero aside from being softer, parang mas malinis yung picture (less visible ang compression artifacts) with SD channels. Wala din yung mosquito noise around sharp edges like sa channel logo.

This is why I use both HDMI and analogue component connections. Pag SD channels, I select the analogue input.

1dol in HD on channel 168. Simulcast sa channel 2. Pansin ko lang may stuttering. Sana maayos pa. Mukhang buggy pa yung hd broadcast.

Edit: nabawasan yung stuttering nung binalik ko sa default resolution na 1080i. Nilagay ko kasi sa 720p. May nabasa kasi ako na mas maganda daw ang progressive kesa interlaced.

SkyCable distributes the HD feed in 1080/60i, afaik. In my experience, it's best to select 1080i and NTSC (makes it output in 60Hz). This reduces visible judder and other anomalies.

If you're sensitive to flicker and are using a Plasma screen, setting it to PAL (sets the output to 1080/50i) sometimes helps (if your TV frame-doubles this to 100Hz). This reduces flicker, in the expense of smooth motion.

di kaya dahil alam ng skycable na maraming mahilig sa basketball dito sa pinas kaya mataas ang singil sa NBA HD?
pero teka if you subscribe the NBA HD for a year FREE as in LIBRE ang "PACQUIAO vs MARGARITO" fight in HD???

1 Yr advance payment to get Pacquaio fight free

P299 x 12 months       = P3,588
One time paym for box= P3,000
total cashout               = P6,588

i think the PPV for Pacquaio is about P1K plus. so in effect you only paid P5,588 or P466 a month ( with HD digibox na and free hdmi pa yun ).  pwede na!!

Nice, you now have 100+ channels, why not add Crime and Investigation Channel for 50 pesos, ASN for NFL games worth 150 and Star Chinese Movies for 152 pesos. :D

Oh, Crime and Investigation and ASN are not in HD. Although ASN has an HD feed but Sky does not have it.
BTW, I think Sky will add more HD channels to have 10 HD channels all in all.

yung mga nakasubscribe sa pacquiao fight .. ano na nakalagay sa ch. 167? ... naka-block pa din yung sa akin ... kailan kaya may ipapalabas na kahit ano para maconfirm na subscribed na ... sa cignal daw kase may poster ni pacquiao-margarito at minsan may 24/7 teaser daw ...

EDIT: called sky customer service yesterday, dapat daw meron trailer ng sky hd na pinapalabas .. after about 30 minutes ay naayos din ... now waiting mode sa laban ... as of 8:17am today (11/14/2010) ay wala pa yung ppv ni pacquiao ...
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: lithium_deuteride on Nov 14, 2010 at 07:20 AM
I get nothing at channel 167 so I called this morning.  Guess what, they asked me to email them a request for the Pacquiao-Margarito pay per view when all along I thought OK na yung phone request lang. WTF? Why didn't they advise that before? These guys don't have their act together.

Now it's already 8:20 a.m. and all I'm getting is Skycable commercials in an endless loop.  I'm wondering; won't they show the undercard fights?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Grendaizer on Nov 14, 2010 at 07:30 AM
Same thing here. All i'm is a looping series of HD ads. Called them up earlier and was told the fights would be aired starting 8am but it's already 8:30am and it's still the same loop. Least they should do is indicate how much longer before they start showing the fights.

Anybody out there who already has Skycable feeds of the fight?

i'm getting the same thing ... the looping commercials are shown since the ppv broadcast has not started yet ... i think the undercards will be shown ... whatever will be shown on the ppv in the states, i think we'll get the same ...

can't wait .. hope the ppv broadcast will start already ...

EDIT: i just read on a boxing thread na start na ... next fight ay Jose Benavidez vs Winston Mathis ...

Nice.. thanks! Just wondering what's the content of the NBA premium kapag offseason. Kasi in a sense you're paying for 3 months of no content if you pay the 1 year thing right? as opposed to paying for 350 for the months when the NBA is actually on :)

Yeah exactly what i was thinking - pero lugi ka if you subscribe 300/year.. The NBA is on for about 7 months only. Baka dapat playoffs lang ang isubscribe hehe

I guess if its included in the Cignal channel lineup, mas ok yun.

If you'll notice in picure 7 of the techie.com.ph site, it looks like the Sky DVR is a dual-tuner unit so that means you can either watch one channel live while recording another one simultaneously, or record two channels simultaneously while you're watching a third previously recorded program on the HDD ;D

Gusto ko sanang magtanong kung paano itong hdbox na to.
Ano na yung magiging mga channels mo kapag may hdbox ka na? puro hd channels lang ba like nba premium, hbo hd? or may kasama na rin ung hd box na channels na pinapanuod ko sa skycacble 280 ko. It means that add - on lang ung hd channels? tapos magiging mas malinaw ba ung non hd channels? Please answer my questions. THANKS!  ;D

Sky Cable (as the name denotes) is cable TV, so you must be in an area serviced by the cable network of Sky.  I would suggest that you wait until you get your Bravia as it would be pointless to subscribe to Sky HD with just a standard TV.

it's free if you have a SkyCable hd box but it's not really a channel that has regular programming shown on it. only certain sports events have appeared in ch. 167 like UAAP Men's Basketball, and recently the Azkals-Mongolia match.

Pacquiao-Margarito bout was also shown in ch.167 but only if you availed the PPV.

Eh pano kung naka plan 499 o kea Platinum ka tapos may digibox edi wala din ung 499 o platinum kasi bibilhin mo pa ung mga channels na katulad ng hbo, playhouse disney, star movies? Mas maigi na lang ata na mag plan 280 ka kaysa mag platinum kasi kumpleto na din ung mga channels at kasi masasayang lang?

Our cable signal is clear with the Digibox. There are optional channels you can add to your subscription. Channels included is dependent on your plan. Digibox is needed for you to avail the 499 or Platinum plan.
Plan 280 is the basic plan, it does not have HBO, Star Movies and Playhouse Disney. Platinum plan is the highest plan package for SkyCable and has the most number of Channels. Plan 499 is not Gold, its simply Plan 499. Gold package costs 1000 pesos.

1. Pero pag nakakabit ung digibox, mawawala lang un lahat and you need to buy those channels?
Yes, buy/add or upgrade your SkyCable Package.

2. Kapag platinum ba tapos may digibox ka, ano na lang ung mga channels na wala?
You need the Digibox to be able to upgrade to Platinum. Channels not included with the Platinum package are Crime and Investigation, ASN, NBA Premium SD, MBC Korea, SBS Korea, Phoenix InfoNews Channel, Phoenix Chinese Channel, Star Chinese Movies, Star News, Star One and Star Gold.

3. At tsaka may tanong ako, analog ba ung cable kapag wala ung digibox?
Yes, SkyCable is currently running on hybrid-mode, meaning their outside cable lines carry both analog and Digital signals but eventually or in the near future, Sky will turn off its analog signal. Some areas around Metro Manila already has the analog signal turned off. These areas are the ones that have a high percentage of signal theft or signal tapping.

I just called skycable and was told they'll call me tom morning to discuss how to "upgrade" to the iRecord. It sucks though that the unit doesn't allow you to backup your recorded shows to a backup drive. It won't take long to fill up a 320GB drive with HD shows and being forced to delete shows you'd want to keep will become increasingly frustrating.

The lack of backup capability was most likely an intentional "feature" by SkyCable to prevent pirating of shows recorded on the HDD, particularly PPV events like Paquiao fights.  Besides, DVR/PVR's are not really meant to be a permanent storage space for recorded shows, rather they are meant as a "buffer" to hold your shows to let you watch them at your most convenient time.

Yes, they're not meant to be permanent storage space for recorded shows. That's exactly why I might want to back up certain shows on to an external drive. In the US, there's an option to pay a one-time fee that allows you to back up your recorded shows on external storage devices (including usb thumb drives). The check they have in place is you can only play those backed up shows (encrypted) on the provided PVR/DVR. I wish they offered that option here too.

Anyway, I had it installed last saturday and it works as advertised. No more waiting for scheduled replays so i'm happy :)

It looks like Sky's changing the encryption used on their network: when we had an additional outlet installed in our house last week, I noticed the digibox provided doesn't use a smart card anymore and now uses Verimatrix encryption instead of the Irdeto system used in the earlier digiboxes.  Even the guy who installed the outlet and box said that all new digiboxes are now cardless.

The new SD digibox (not sure about the HD one as we only use SD for both outlets) looks like this:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Third_Generation.JPG/800px-Third_Generation.JPG)

It's pretty much the same as the earlier Digiboxes other than the simplified design with no clock/channel number display, and also the S-video output was removed (both I guess for cost-cutting).  From what I've read about Verimatrix, their encryption system is software/server based meaning the decryption keys are stored on Sky's end (unlike the previous Irdeto system where the keys were stored on the inserted smartcard)  and apparently downloaded into the box each time it's turned on because there's a short "loading" screen when you turn the new digibox on.

How much is the HD pay-per-view for Pacquiao vs Mosley?

P1,500.  But it is given FREE if you get the NBA Premium HD and maybe other HD packages but lock in for 6 months.

i don't what's up with NBA premium this playoffs. they don't show direct uncut feeds of games anymore. they now keep showing that darn talking ball commercial during timeouts and worse they don't quickly cut back to the game!

viewing experience isn't how it was before which was like you're actually in the arena watching timeouts and intermission festivities.

I agree.  Mas okay yung dati na pwede mo mapakinggan yung pinaguusapan ng mga commentators o kaya see usa commercials.  Guess we have to inform Solar about this since they're the ones in charge of NBA Premium TV.

Sir on top po ito nang inyong current plan. And then, you have the option to pay for the HD box outright or 399 ata per month for 12 months, if I'm not mistaken ha. ang maganda lang dito, yung SD signal, upscaled na din to 1080i, kse yung ito yung signal na lumalabas sa info button nang TV ko eh, of course malayo ang upscaled SD sa native HD signals

Crap! Anyone of you guys here already has Sky's PVR?
Called Sky and found out they ran out of PVR boxes.
The next batch for the PVR boxes is scheduled to be available on the 3rd week of June.
Oh well, lapit na June.

Which made me think, kala ko ba walang pera ang Pinoy, pero naubusan ng PVR ang Sky.
The price for installing the box is as high as 4999 pesos, if Sky ordered 1000 units, that would be like what, almost 5 million pesos. Sounds like a lot of money but I can say its only breakeven for Sky.

I guess ok lang naman kung ordinary connector lang. I actually replaced the one provided by sky since it was short and I needed to move the HD box, therefore I needed a longer one and it turned out ok.

This is OT already.
Cignal was able to add more HD channels after they launched the service and with MVP owning the company, I think money wouldn't be a problem.

The new channels can be interesting since its on HD and the programming for Star Movies, Star World and Fox HD are different. Aside from that, HBO HD is time-shifted, so its like having 4 different channels. :)

You like Channel [V] HD? I like MTV Live HD better.
Channel [V] HD  would only be just a simulcast of Channel [V] SD while MTV Live HD has an entirely different programming. :)

Post by: Grimlock on Oct 14, 2011 at 04:36 PM
OT- Although I like MTV, channel [V] HD is a more likely candidate for Sky & Cignal to add to their programming since they already acquired the license for FOX programs e.g. NatGeo HD, Star HD channels, etc.

Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: KARTOG on Oct 22, 2011 at 06:33 PM
I was able to talk to a Telesales agent from SkyCable this morning.

Apparently, to get the iRecord, you have to pay for installation to the tune of 4,999 then there is a monthly fee of 399 for the iRecord device ON TOP of SD subscription and selected HD pack.  Wow, isn't this too much, I'm a current SkyCable Digibox subscriber, how hard or expensive can it be for Sky to send someone to plug in that iRecord set-top box?

And the signal is 1080i.  I was very interested to get an iRecord before but after finding out about the costs involved I don't think it's worth it.

According to the agent I talked to:

a) HD Box fee/Installation fee: 3000, no more monthly payments for the HD Box
b) HD Recorder installation fee: 5000, plus 399 monthly "usage" fee for the HD Recorder

on top of this, there is an HD Pack fee for your pack of choice.  Since I started as a prepaid subscriber therefore my digibox is paid for. I get to refund 2000.

It's business and Cignal also does the same thing. Babawiin lang nila lahat ng gastos nila sa mga subs.  :D

Even with those kind of fees, I am quite surprised that SkyCable subscribers are actually availing of those boxes.

What's even worse is their fee for their iRecord thingy.  They call it "installation fee" which, by the way, is 2,000 bucks higher than their standard HD box.  "Installation fee" because you get suckered to pay a monthly "usage" fee for the iRecord device, on top of any HD Pak you choose.  So not only do you pay 2,000 pesos more for the recorder, you also pay 399 a month for the rest of your life using this device.  >:(

This is not good at all.  I hope Cignal offers a similar device, with more rational payment schemes.

All those extra fees for using PVR's/Recorder boxes is not unique to Sky, Pay TV companies around the world all charge extra to access HD channels and/or use their PVR box.  An example is Foxtel in Australia which charges a A$150 (approx PhP6k) "upgrade" (installation) fee for their "iQHD" PVR box, as well as an additional A$10 (approx. PhP445) fee per month to access their HD channels as well as for the use of the iQHD box.

So they both charge an installation fee, Sky's is P5K while Foxtel's is ~P6K.  But, as per your info Foxtel charges ~P445 for HD channels AND use of an HD recorder.  SkyCable charges P399 for the use of the iRecord, AND then charges you separately for the HD pack of your choice.

There's a huge difference in usage of "and/or" here.  In your foreign provider example, Foxtel charges a single fee for HD channels AND use of their PVR box.  SkyCable charges a fee for HD channels or use of their PVR box.  That's still the point here.

That's the whole point.  SkyCable's HD service is just too high.  It's not even a question of whether a person can afford it or not.  If you can afford to pay that high for a basic subscription, an iRecord device, and an HD pack, well...good for you.

But isn't that why we're here in the first place, to discuss these things?  Why the arrogant tone?  Wait, do you work for Sky?  Maybe you own it?  Why are you so being defensive about SkyCable's sky-high prices?

pwede naman na mangyari ikaw lang ang may hd tapos yung iba analog, just make sure yung pagsasaksakan mo ng hd box ay hindi yung main outlet ninyo.

another option is that if you have a SkyBroadband connection they can split the cable you're using on your modem and connect it to your hd box. Like in our case because the TV cable signal is weak in our household and fortunately the cable internet modem is in the same room and just beside our HDTV, SkyCable decided to split the cable in our modem and attached it to the hd box.

I will not recommend to have your cable broadband line splitted to internet use.
Knowing that sky in some areas are using the same old cable from the start and they just adopted a technology to make it work for cable internet.

it may be okay on your case, but most cases it will affect your broadband speed.

not unlessyour location is already using the new generation fiber optic cable.

I recently applied for Sky Cable last Dec 28, 2011

Initial installation fee is 2,000 pesos (with SD digibox), no refund though, pero no lock-in period.

Plan kinuha ko is 499 pesos.

Then 1st week ng Jan, I called Sky Cable customer service para to inquire about the HD service.

Then they said may promo sila na free upgrade from SD digibox to Coship HD digibox, no need to pay additional 3,000 pesos for the HD box.

Pero naka package na HD channel is the REVOLUTION pack, which is 299 a month (on top of my 499/month), locked-in for 1 year...which is not bad if you enjoy watching HD.

Kahapon ikinabit yung HD box (Coship), kinuha nila yung existing digibox ko then pinalitan ng HD box for FREE.

Channels are

FOX HD
FOX CRIME HD
FOX FAMILY MOVIES HD
FOX PREMIUM MOVIES HD
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL HD
STAR WORLD HD
STAR MOVIES HD
ESPN HD (free)

Sulit na for additional 299/month with FREE HD box.

Hi Sir, yes there is a RCA connection po, may Spdif (optical) out din Sir.

Complain ko lang, I can't seem to decode the audio to 5.1 e.  I've tried direct HDMI to my receiver ayaw, also thru optical cable ayaw din.  Setting ko naman sa audio ng HD box is AC3 (5.1 naman yun d b?), kasi 2 options lang setting sa audio  (PCM & AC3).

Pero I can't seem to decode the Dolby 5.1 na sound.

If you're saying po Sir is you want 2 HD box po, they don't allow it po sa package nung FREE HD box.  may bayad na daw po ng 3,000 pesos para sa 2nd HD box yun Sir.   I've inquired na rin po kasi about that e..ganun po sabi nila.

As of SKY, right now yung FREE HD box is only package to the REVOLUTION PACK.  If you want another package siguro pwede naman po i-avail on top of your 499 (SD) + 299 (HD) + the package you want....e.g. + 350 php (NBA premium HD).

Can anyone who've tried this confirm if this is true?

in my situation, dahil mahina yung signal ng cable tv sa bahay namin, instead of using the cable that's plugged in sa TV namin, what they did is use the cable that's plugged in sa internet modem namin and split it para malagay sa HDBOX.

may analog signal parin kami sa TV namin kasi may sariling cable parin na nakakabit for TV and then yung broadband cable and split sa modem and HDBOX which is then connected sa TV through HDMI.

i don't know if they'll allow you to split your analog cable because i think hihina yung signal ninyo, or another reason too.

Hope you can help me now... how come I am paying more than the 499 for SD? I think almost a thousand then they added the 299 for HD and another charge for an extension drop to a second LED monitor.

If I upgrade beyond the REVO pack, what would that be called and what's the HD line-up? Would that mean I also need to continue to pay for the GOLD (not sure how it is called) on the SD line-up?

Hi Tony,

Wife just informed me na you lose a lot of the channels from 999 Full SD pack if you switch to 499.  I think what they did to you is to simply add 299 to your current 999 SD subscription.  If you go beyond 299, meron daw 2 addtl hd channels for 499 and the full pack of 12 channels for 899. So if you dont mind losing some SD channels, then switch to 499 base subscription.  My wife said, "no thanks"...hehehe

Ang di ko mag-getz, bakit libre HD box kung konti and then may bayad na 3K kung full set...eh mas mahal din naman ang subscription kung full HD set, and mababawi rin nila eventually sa subscription fee ang cost ng HD tuner.


Hope you can help me now... how come I am paying more than the 499 for SD? I think almost a thousand then they added the 299 for HD and another charge for an extension drop to a second LED monitor.

The message was sent to me this morning via sms.

I quickly replied back and pointed out that I reported the problem to Cignal people more than a year ago and did not hear back and since then the service has been dead.

I'll drop them off and just stick with Skycable (SD+HD) and my other reliable provider, Destiny :)

for me, the advantage of having NBA Premium TV is they have more games shown on it. other shows like NBA Gametime, NBA Action are also shown on BTV.

All-Star weekend is also a plus on NBA Premium TV because of their extended coverage.

skycable plan 250 ako. di ako satisfied sa video ng skycable ko. medyo pixelated. maybe dahil composite connection lang yung digibox.

sky offered me NBA Premium TV HD channel for additional 350 per month, 6 months lockin. i will just pay 1,500 for the HDMI digibox.

1. mas lilinaw kaya yung mga HD channels pag naka HDMI digibox na?

I did the same and the "free" HD channels are still intact. Sometimes nadadagdagan pa nga. Now I get "free" ASN, on top of "free" HBO, etc.  ;D

HBO is free? i guess i miss on that one. but Cartoon Network HD is still free over at ch 167 for now.

earlier i saw on Fox Movies Premium that the Fox Movies Play is now available for Sky HD subscribers. i wanted to try if it's good so I registered online and it said it was a success. However, when i tried watching a video, it says that I have to call Sky first. Bummer. >:(

the reason why i registered online was thinking that it was quicker and more of an ease than calling Sky's hotline.

for those wondering what Fox Movies Play is, it's a movies on-demand service. check it at foxmoviesplay.com

skycable plan 250 ako. di ako satisfied sa video ng skycable ko. medyo pixelated. maybe dahil composite connection lang yung digibox.

sky offered me NBA Premium TV HD channel for additional 350 per month, 6 months lockin. i will just pay 1,500 for the HDMI digibox.

1. mas lilinaw kaya yung mga HD channels pag naka HDMI digibox na?
2. kung magterminate ako NBA premium tv after 6 months, malinaw pa rin kaya yun SD channels compared kung naka composite connection?
@desertfox615: Kung kaya mong pang i stretch yung budget mo, get the Revo Pack299 para libre ang HD Box (1yr lock in) then mag add ka ng NBA Premium no need for 6 mons lock in period.
Eto mga channels ng Revo Pack
FOX HD
FOX CRIME HD
FOX FAMILY MOVIES HD
FOX PREMIUM MOVIES HD
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL HD
STAR WORLD HD
ESPN HD (free) (Australian Open)
ASN HD (NHA & NCAA)

Here's my comment on your queries.
1. mas lilinaw kaya yung mga HD channels pag naka HDMI digibox na? Yes magiging 1080i even yung SD channels medyo lilinaw, pwedeng mabawasan yung pixelated na SD channels mo.
2. kung magterminate ako NBA premium tv after 6 months, malinaw pa rin kaya yun SD channels compared kung naka composite connection? Yes kahit di ka magsubscribe sa NBA Premium as long as HD Box ang gamit mo mas malinaw sya compare sa composite connection since HDMI sya. Composite is 480 vs HDMI 1080

Add lang ako ng comment.

I am currently at plan 280 then upgraded to Revo pack @299 (no cash out) and NBA premium SD @150.

NBA premium even in SD is already great compared to the coverage of BTV. I'll just upgrade it to HD before All-star weekend until playoffs then just go back to SD after the finals wala naman lock-in kasi eh. :D

nope. naka digibox lng ako.,SD. naginquire lang ako sa kanila wat if kunwari iaavail ko HD nila with Revo Pack. No need to pay for the HD box. but if maguupgrade ka ng plan 899 babayaran mo un HD box for 3500.

mag revo pack ka muna then after a month ka na lang magupgrade. I think wala ka paring babayaran na HD Box pag nag paupgrade pero naka lock in ka pa rin ng 1 yr and it will start by the time na nagpa upgrade ka. Grab mo na habang may promo pa. Sulit naman yung revo pack.

Hi,

Question lang po about pagdating sa cable provider,

just bought a 42 inch lcd tv eh.. so sanay tlga mata ko sa CRT pero aware na ako na papanget tlga SD/cable viewing nmin. Analog Cable lang gmit nmin kc Cable link lang kmi medyo snowy at malabo ang picture kc na stretch nga.... only skimmed this thread so the question is lilinaw ba ang Picture quality nmin kung mag SKY Cable kmi kasi gmit ng sky Digital dba? so kpag may digibox din lilinaw ndin? or mas malinaw kung hdmi cable na gmit kaysa sa composite cable khit hd yung content/channel?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD

not really, having a digibox does not mean it is digital

imagine using same decades old copper wire and plugging a "digibox"
do the math, not all in service area are enjoying the fiber optic technology for this.

mas madami nag complain nung nalagyan ng digibox yung previous direct to tv coax connection nila.
ang intent lang kasi ng digibox is to curve the splitter piracy ng analog cable.

definitely by using digibox mawawala na yung snowy. kung issue sayo ang budget kuha ka muna ng 280 then after a few days switch to revopack to get an HD box. Pero bago ka magsubscribe ask mo muna kung may promo pa sa revo pack. BTW since Cable Link provider mo I guess your from Paranaque or Las Pinas so may line na dyan ng Sky.

decades old? hahaha
you gotta be kidding me.

SkyCable already uses Fiber Optics in all of its serviceable areas and why would you require a Digibox if you don't have a digital signal passing through those wires. In fact they already have fiber optics way way back, although not the whole of Metro Manila. Sky invested a lot and upgraded their Outside plants to come up with their digital service.

Sky's digibox intent isn't only to curb signal piracy but its one of the main purpose. Sky came up with the Digibox to provide more channels, accommodate Package tiering, provide HD, DVR/PVR and soon VOD.

Pentium4, I know you are a dealer, maybe a Territorial Partner of Cignal but if all of your comments are meant to sabotage SkyCable, you might as well stick posting to the Cignal thread. You're comments which does not have enough basis, are not helpful and are not needed in this thread.

BTW, speaking of complaints although OT, check out Cignal's FB page which has tons of them:

so, why our area does not have HD service? unless there's other reason why no HD.

@conan: did you see any badmouthing coming from my post?
no need to and I don't do either. so, why post an OT page?

I only tried to answer the question of the poster.
If it is not so, then you may delete it for correction.
I stand by it though, digibox is primarily to curve the splitter connection and you may check it on press release when they started implementing it. other benefits was for the HD signal and cable internet.

sorry teacher, thanks for the correction also, it should be curb down.

digibox improves picture quality from 210k pixel analog broadcast to 480i (307k pixel) standard definition broadcast.
however, to maximize your LCD TV (HD Ready) it is recommended to get at least 720p / 1080i

to check if your sky connection is now fully digital, you should not be able to watch on your tv if connected coax direct to tv.

this is the reason nag dadalawang isip ako mag HD Revo Pack. Baka di rin substantial maging quality ng HD channels ko at masayang lang yung 299 monthly.

Having a connection by bypassing Sky's digibox does not necessarily mean your line isn't fully digital.
Damn, Pentium4, what are you trying to prove here. Are you trying to say that your Cignal service is better than Sky.

Sky's cable lines are hybrid, meaning it can carry both Analog and Digital signals.
The analog signal can easily be turned off if Sky determined the area has rampant signal theft and piracy.
Sky's analog signal will also be turned off eventually if Sky needs all the analog frequency for its digital service and once the government gives out the go signal for all tv broadcasters and pay-tv providers to go digital.

 Sulit talaga itong Sky HD, for some reason I have the black HD box instead of the coship that they gave during the trial. I prefer this black one though faster channel surfing and it has 1080p pero parang ang baba ng fps pag 1080p, the only thing I miss is the summary of the show that the coship has.

And my SD channels looks 10x better than with a digibox this is one of the main reason I upgraded, I think the HD box upscales the SD channels and it is doing a great job.

And we can still watch the SD shows at our rooms without any digi/hd box thanks sa hybrid analog/digital connection :)

I believe today Outdoor Channel HD and Fashion TV HD will on SkyCable's Channel 179 and 180 respectively.
Channel 167 on the other hand will be Sky's Freeview Channel HD, which will feature Sky's HD channel for 15 days, starting with History HD.

So far using a signal divider to the VHS tuner nakaka kuha ng signal pero grainy ang pic. The question is pwede kaya ako buy ng digibox without using a smart card and the pic will look better?

Nope.
Paki try mo i on yung VHS kung may pagbabago yung pic. kung wala, malabo talaga yang analog signal nyo dyan. So no choice but to request for another digibox kahit SD lang then magbayad ka ng monthly fee I think 250 or 350/month, and tanong mo rin kung may lock in period. Sana wala para kahit 1 month lang sulit na yun.

Post by: usbslave on Mar 27, 2012 at 03:28 PM
So from plan 280 and 1100 sa HD (750 for innovation and revolution pack plus ESPN + 350 for NBA Premium HD), I decided to upgrade my plan to SKY 499 to avail of the 899 HD Power Pack.  I also removed 3 channels costing P220 and added 1 channel worth P100.  From P1900, my bill is going to be P1748. 

Now, I asked a sky cable representative if I could upgrade to the HD All-In-Pack P1199 after around 6 months or so (when more HD channels are included in the 1199 pack), and the rep told me that i have to wait for one year to be able to upgrade because of the lock-in period of the 899 HD.  I don't get this at all.  Isn't a lock-in period for the prevention of early termination? Now, it is also preventing me from upgrading whenever I want. 
Isn't a lock-in period for the prevention of early termination? I think yes pero kung mag terminate ka before 1 yr sisingilin sayo yung cost ng HD Box.
"It is also preventing me from upgrading whenever I want." Medyo disagree ako dito, try mo kayang tanggalin muna yung NBA Premium(after finals na lang) then after a month mag 1199 pack ka. Kasi nakapag upgrade ka nga from revo pack 299 to 899 w/in lock in period, how come na yung 899 to 1199 eh hindi pwede.

Ok na. Nagkamali lang yung rep.  Tinanong niya sa concerned team pwede daw mag upgrade anytime.  Carry over na lang ata yung lock-in period from previous HD package to the new HD package. 

Btw, thru twitter direct message ng sky ako naginquire.

So this will be 499 + 1199? And you still wont have NBA TV? 

Tama ba ako? Magulo kasi yung website nang Sky.

I just transferred kasi to a new condo...and they are exclusive to Sky. Right now, we are at the lowest plan (trial lang for a month) and then I had the Sky rep add Disney Junior (for my son) and NBA TV for me. To my dismay nga, walang Discovery Channel at the lowest plan or even the next plans. Walang ESPN at this level too.

Kainis.

How do i get my favorite channels at the most affordable plan combination?  I would like to have NBA TV, Discovery, Nat Geo, AXN , Disney Junior, ESPN.

SKY 499 + 899 HD Power Pack + Disney Junior (P100) + ESPN and Star Sports (P150) + Discovery Channel (50) = P1998

But if okay ka na sa Discovery HD, don't include Discovery Channel SD and pwede mapanood ESPN if direct yung cable sa tv pero hassle palipat-lipat.  

(SKY 499 has AXN and Nat Geo already. 899 HD Power Pack already has NBA Premium TV HD, Nat Geo HD, and Discovery HD pero iba yung mga pinapalabas sa SD version.)

So, P1998 less P50 kung ok ka na sa Discovery HD and less P150 for ESPN kung matiyaga ka maglipat ng cable from digibox to TV and vice versa. That would be P1798.

This is what I did to our extra tv!

Tried it. Didn't work. All i got was static if the TV was directly connected to the cable/coax outlet in the wall. Tried auto and manual tuning and got mostly static.

I also saw that the Skycable guy put in a high pass filter right at the coax outlet before putting in the coax cable heading towards my digibox. Removed that to see what would happen. Nothing as well.

Reconnected the digibox (without putting in the high pass filter) and reconnected to my tv. Parang mas malinaw ngayon. :p

However, not using the digibox did nothing for me. :(

had a problem in auto/manual searching in my box after changing frequency from 633 to 441 (as always) but eventually went ok after resetting.

first post! hehe

hey guys I recently subscribed to Skycable HD last April. got the black HD box. Just wondering if your "Recall" button on your remote is also not working? Don't know why. It's such a hassle having to press the numbers to get from 1 channel to the other when I'm only watching 2 channels.
mine is not working as well. any feedback from the others?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: rickmor on May 18, 2012 at 09:44 PM
Gave my mom the silver hd box and black one. Big mistake! The black hd box takes about 30 seconds to boot up. The remote is totaly crap, recall button does not work and the remote signal is quite weak that you have to aim it directly at the box. I will call sky to replace this hd box back to the silver one.

got the 15 day trial for HD all in pack. nakakatuwa pala to, ngayun lang ulit ako ginanahan manood ng TV haha. sarap panoorin ng NBA premium TV. planning to remove my select channels and add revolution pack after the trial, 280 + 299 + 20 (for TLC favorite e haha) 600PHP. sana pwede yung ganun, and waive na nila yung installation fee.

questions lang:

pansin ko lang sa HD box, everytime on ko sya, nag tatanong ng program has been changed, do you want to search? tapos bawat channel, iba ang volume setting. defect kaya to ng box, or setting lang. baka meron na sa inyo naka experience.

also, yung nagpost na meron 1080p mode, I checked the manual, sabi on HD daw e 720p or 1080i lang. and wala ata akong nakitang options nung chineck ko kanina, i have the black box by the way. thanks.

yup, basta ilipat mo siya sa HD channel lilitaw yung message na Program has been changed. Press Exit lang. Napansin ko when it first happened & I press OK o di kaya I do a Manual Search, dala-dalawa lagi channels. Anybody else noticed this or experienced this? Kada-channel up or down twice lumilitaw yung channel. This isn't the case though if I do an "Auto Search".

BTW I already subscribed to the Pacquiao-Bradley Fight HD :) sana worth it!

how about the volume issue? bawat channel iba ang volume setting? is this a defect, o ganun lang talaga sya? thanks
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: go2guy on Jun 08, 2012 at 07:04 AM
sakin hindi naman iba-iba. lahat ng volume is 16. Yun ang default niya. Ginagalaw kong volume yung sa remote control ng TV not the HD box, nahihinaan kasi ako.

Yung sa Program change tingin ko glitch yun e. Akala ko ganun siya kapag may new channel or new channel lineup pero di naman so I think glitch ng model ng HD box.

ok thanks bro. mas gusto ko kasi sa box na lang adjust yung volume ayoko ng madaming hawak na remote. nakakabwiset lang, bawat channel ay ibang volume, doesnt make sense to me. papalitan ko na lang yung box and see. cheers

I have the same plan. Just recently upgraded. Pag silver ka, you just pay 799 for the box, then the 1199 all in plan monthly + 830 for silver plan + 250 if you want or have any additional box.. It's worth it to me, especially with all the sports. ;). And oh fashion tv is nice. ;D

Yes, you can upgrade to all-in pack anytime. Ma-re-reset lang yung 1-year lockin period mo kung kelan nagstart yung all-in package.

That's what I did because I needed another hd box for a 2nd tv. I used the revo pack promo para ma-waive yung 3k hd box installation fee for my first tv; then after two weeks, I upgraded to an all-in package plus irecord para libre naman yung irecord box for the 2nd tv. :D

Yup this note is posted in our latest bill statement. Says that Espn (31), Star Sports (32) and Fox (50) will only be available through the digibox.

Attention all F1 fans who watch through star sports will be affected! :D

I'm very happy with SkyCable's customer service recently. Like yesterday, I sent an email to their tele/customer sales asking for an email list of channels, related prices per channel, and postpaid options/promos because I'm trying to sort out the channels that me and my wife really need. I asked for the latest list because I think the ones posted in SKY's site is not updated. Within 5 mins a customer rep called my mobile and office #. He was very patient and explained to be all the options that I can take.

I'm doing a review because I plan to downgrade to 499, maintain my hd subscriptions, add those channels that we decided that we need (ANC & E!) and avail of the broadband service. Post review last night I think I will be saving around 300 pesos a month.

Will call them today to finalize my new customized plan :D

kasi ang Cignal kahit medyo baguhan pa pero ginagawa nila lahat para maka kuha ng mga client. bukod sa libre na Kit, libre installation may free pang 3 months plus mas maganda daw ang video ng Cignal. problema lang services nila sabagay bago palang kasi, pero malay mo di ba.. kung di gagawa paraan ang sky baka maraming lumipat. bukod sa mura kasi ang HD at PPV ng Cignal magdan mga offer ngayon ng cignal

Mine is slightly better at 75%.

Lately though screen freeze occur more often. I needed to turn off then on again. This has happened to me the past three days. If this persist I will call a CSR.

Also before I had ch 167 and 181 now these have no signal  or scrambled. No worries since it only showed skyhd infomercial on a loop.

I use the silver hd box, and it has a good feature that you can program your digibox remote with your tv. I usr a Panasonic 50x plasma and it works.

Now I have the freedom to use just one remote. Power, av selection and volume of tv via the digibox remote and I change channels via the same remote as well of course.

wala siya talaga. NBA Premium HD is on Power Pack. I'm on Revo pack ever since March/April & I had to get NBA Premium HD separately. I'm thinking of upgrading to Power Pack so I can get HBO HD, Discovery HD & History HD. What's stopping me is medyo di ko type ang shows na nasa HD ng History (puro Pawn Stars) & Discovery (wala yung A Haunting or the good shows on the SD version). I wish magkaroon ng CI (Crime Investigation) HD.

Kung naka HD Box ka... maganda na ang Signal ng ABS CBN hindi na nalalayo ang graphics nito sa HD Channel.. paunti unti siguro inaupgrade na ng Abs Cbn..Skycable HD yung UAAP maganda na ang graphics nito.. Sa mga Cable Channel Kung Ang Cinema One at ANC or Hero Channel magkakaron ng HD Version malamang mahihirapan na ang Cignal...

Cinema One / Hero / Animax - ang main reason ng iba bakit sila nananatili sa skycable.. dagdag mo pa ang teleradyo at ANC..

Ang tanging meron lang Cignal ay ang FOX Filipino... sadyang magandang balikan ang Enchantadia pero hanggang kailan??? hindi naman pwedeng for life palabas ang enchantadia, or darna dagdag muna ang Mulawin malamang ibalik nila ito. Kahit ako gusto ko magpakabit ng Cignal dahil lang sa Fox Filipino pero iniisip ko sayang pera.. in 6 months maaring wala na ang enchantadia sa Fox so useless na ulit.. masyado naman magastos kung 2 ang cable ko.. di hamak na mas maganda ang Cinema One sa PBO o Viva na halos bulok na ang Movies...

Isa rin sa Rason ko bakit napapaisip ako Mag Cignal..

Maraming nag sasabi napakamura ng Cignal.. sadyang totoo yan sa halagang 590.00 may NBA at HBO HD kana.., dito sa Skycable kailangan mo pa mag 499+899 para lang ma avail mo yung NBA at HBO HD

Sa ngayon marami pang maling pamamaraan ang cignal dahil nga sa bago palang sila ika nga nangangapa pa.in terms of technical support medyo problemado pa sila pero ang lahat naisasaayos paunti unti.. kaya wake up skycable management.. baka magulat nalang tayo hindi na magpapahuli si MVP para lang maiangat ang Cignal... Baka isang araw Exclusive na pala ang all Fox Channel sa Cignal... nagawa ngang mai merge ni MVP ang TV5 at GMA7. daming pera ni MVP at willing sya magpakawala ng pera maiangat lang ang TV5 pati ang Cignal...

At isa pang pinagmamalaki ng GMA 7 no 1 daw sa mga local news channel ang GMA news laban sa aksyon tv at anc. sana isama na nila ang ANC sa lahat ng skycable package. para magkaalaman na di ba???? Dapat di tayo natutulog sa pansitan baka isang araw magulat nalang tayo bagsak na pala tayo..

For starters sana they can remove the additional charge of 250 per month per addtl box. Sana installation fee lang. :D If gonna upgrade to hd, konting addtl nalang. :D ;D

Same here, one of the reasons why I got the digibox was the Revo +ESPN. But since they did not notify me of this change I am filling a complaint and they can either return ESPN or return my money back.  If they will NOT do any of the two, I am filling a complaint at DTI.

Got the same sentiment with that move of Sky Cable to take out ESPN HD from the Revo package.  Why would they arbitrarily take out a channel from their package when it's part of the deal?

marami na kasi nag avail ng promo na 299 free na hd box.. ika nga tinakam lang tayo.. ngyon naka 299 na kayo para ma obliga kayo mag upgrade ng 899 or 1199.. kung di lang naka locked in period ng 1 years pina cut kuna to.. at nag avail nalang ng cignal. isipin nyo promo ng cignal initial cash out 1 month advance lang free installation, free cignal kit, free 3 months pa, sayang na pagkakataon di ba????? kung ako sa inyo pagtsagaan nyo na yang 299 wag na kau mag upgrade or i avail nyo nalang 590 ng cignal mag dual cable kau andun na ang HBO HD at NBA HD.. my fOx filipino pa kayo.
Maka SkyCable ako dahil Kapamilya ako pero sa binawasan pa nila ng HD Channel na ESPN masyado nman na di ba guys. para sa mga gusto mag upgrade mag isip isip muna..
Suggestion ko
Isipin nyo kung naka 499 ako plus 299HD = 798 at naisipan ko i upgrade ng 499 plus 899 HD = 1398 magiging monthly bill ko (600 ang nadagdag).. ang tanging madadagdag lang dito ay HBO HD, DiscoveryHD, HistoryHD, NBAHD at ESPN HD  mula sa current SD and HD Channel nyo na
Dahil naka may 1 years locking period kau sa sky try nyo another option naka 499 at 299HD kayo sa Sky.. Mag dual Cable kau habang naka locked pa ng 1 year keysa mag upgrade sa Sky..
499+299 (SD and HD Channel Sky) + 590 sa Cignal (Inital Cash Out 1590. only Free pa yung next 3 months) = 1388 lang magiging monthly nyo.. mura kumpara kung mag upgrade kau sa Sky..
Madadagdag sa Channel nyo???? sa SD Channel Madadagdagan kau ng Max Cinamax, ESPN News, PBO, Viva Channel, Fox Filipino, S beTV, Colours, plus HBO HD, NBA HD, Outdoor HD, at Star World HD (meron na nito sa sky). isip guys san kau makakamura at makakapili pa kau ng magandang cable.. sabi ng iba mas malinaw at mas maganda ang cignal.. kaya try nyo mag dual cable keysa mag upgrade...

Skycable's decision to cut-off ESPN HD from my package is just plain bad customer service.  I called them, sent messages through twitter and email but I'm tired of their excuses and ignoring a customer.  I just sent them this email:

"Since I'm not getting any response to this communication and the content I requested to be reinstated is not available, I have no further reason to subscribe to your services at this point.

This is a notification to indefinitely suspend my cable subscription with your company effective August 1, 2012."

Update mo kami with the complaint. nakakainis nga, 1 week pa lang Revo pack ko, nabawasan na ng ESPN HD channel.

I called up SKY yesterday and had to patiently wait for long periods just to be able to have a conversation with a manager or supervisor.  Off hand what I gathered was that they failed to inform subscribers regarding the change, with this they offered me one (1) month free subscription for the miscommunication.

With this offer I am still bent on filling a complaint with the DTI & NTC for the very reason that I was made to believe that the Revo+ESPN HD package was worth the investment in getting the digibox for 3,000 ( yes I paid for the box last year).  As a male viewer ESPN HD probably ranks #1 in the decision in getting the box, now they are again using ESPN HD to ask subscriber to "upgrade" their subscription.  This is clearly paying twice for the same product, hence the complaint to DTI/NTC.

DTI website suggests calling NTC for the complaint (9244942,  9244948, 9213251, 9267722) I hope you guys will join me so that Sky will be pressured to bring back ESPN HD to the Revo package.

Ganyan din ang package ko and since last week, activated yung HBO Hits HD so maybe it means na included na sa package natin ang HBO Hits HD and meron pa din akong ESPN HD so ibig sabihin included din yun sa package natin kaya I'm happy with Sky Cable.

I don't think that subscribers with Revo package only can't really complain about ESPN HD because as far as I know, ESPN HD is not included in the Revolution Package. When I subscribed to Sky's HD packages, it was clear to me that ESPN HD is not included in any particular package but it is free if you subscribe to any HD Package. I think they decided to not make it free anymore but to include it in a package wherein the Revo package is not one of them. Sky's mistake here is not to inform the subscribers that it will not be free anymore.

Oh but Sky cannot just unbundle the ESPN HD channel from the Revo pack because it was a big factor why I paid the 3,000 digibox fee in the first place.  So for as long as I continue to pay for the monthly fee that bundle has to be given to me.  I believe this is very doable since channel control to every subscriber is 1to1 , they are able to customize what one subscriber wants or has agreed to pay.

Just as I said before, technically Sky didn't really unbundled ESPN HD from Revo because it is not really bundled. ESPN HD is just a freebie to any HD subscriber. They just decided not to make it free anymore.

Not necessarily true. I have a HD media player myself and it is fun using it but the problem with that is the content. To have true HD content, you have to download a few gigabytes for just one movie and a gigabyte for an episode of TV series. You can settle to download a smaller file size movie or TV series but it is not really HD. So before you can watch, it takes time to download depending on your internet speed and you need an internet connection (a fast one at least) and it also consume hard disk space.

the only thing I really watch on TV nowadays is TLC (MvF, cake boss, bourdain etc) and Balls (UFC), kaya mas OK sakin Skycable. so downgraded to basic 280 plan, added TLC (20) and Revo (299) = 600 a month. solb na din. considering basic cable charges about 500 pesos monthly, diba. badtrip lang ako sa cable box ng sky, everytime mag turn on nag aask magscan ng channels, and every channel iba ang volume setting. sabi nung cable guy na pumunta ganun daw talaga yung mga bagong box, mas maganda daw yung lumang HD box kaso phase out na. nag aantay pa daw sila ng pamalit.

and tama, compared to downloaded HD movies, kahit 720p to 1080p, kapag less than 1GB file size e malayo difference sa HD ng sky. kita mo kaagad, walang pixels hehe...

This is a big negative for sky cable. I think Cignal is doing the "Gokongwei style" like what they did with Sun Cellular and Cebu Pacific. They are really making it more affordable and so they will be able to capture the bigger share of the market.

Now the ball is in sky cable's court. What will they do? Competition is getting fierce. Kahit mukhang dalawa lang sila nag lalaban. :D ;D

Ya iba pa rin ang cable tv. Cable have variety. Sports in hd is just awesome. Sarap to just come home, relax, take a shower and watch cable. :D Not all is bad naman sa sky. ;D. If you look at the overall exclusive channels they have (history hd, asn hd, uaap hd, ballstv, etc), its still very worth it for what we are paying, kahit mas mahal. Of course individual preference nalang yan on which channels one prefer. Pero sa sports ang dami ng sky cable ;).  Of course sana they can give us the olympics free. Hey we can't have everything. :D ;D

Kaya its great din meron competition.

ask mo rin kung available din yung free HD Box pag kumuha ka ng HD package. Lowest package is 299 for the revolution package consists of NatGeo,Sky Freeview,Fox Premium Movies,Fox Family Movies,Fox,Fox Crime at Star World. Biruin mo for just 579/month (280+299) may Analog ka na, may 20+Digital at 7 HD channels pa. Diba sulit!

Anybody using COSHIP box from Sky? I am having problems with my display. Paputol-putol po. Nawawala ang picture for about a second. It happens for all channels (STD/HD). Mataars naman po ang signal strength at quality. I am using Sony Bravia EX410 via HDMI. Pasig area.

May other brand ba ang Sky ng digibox?

I use the same and I don't have [problems naman.  Have you tried calling them up?  Dati kasi nagkaproblema ako sa isang channel and they just had me go through the set up phase.  naging ok naman.

Try checking the hdmi port of the tv with other devices. I had d same tv 42ex410, and sony service went to my house several times before actual firmware upgrade. My hdmi port after 4 month use wont accept any signal above 720p. First they blamed my generic hdmi cable (not cdrking) and recommended i purchase monster hdmi or equivalent. Later their tech guy isolated the hdmi port causing problems.

By the way sony has 2 year warranty, so might as well have it checked

Try mo muna yung RCA (Red,Yellow,White) if in case ganon pa rin ang output then yung digibox mo nga ang may problem. Meron silang isang ibang brand yung color black.

I tried po, wala problem. I tried playing another device, DVD, using the same hdmi port ng tv. Ok naman. Nagpalit na rin ako ng hdmi cable. Ang tagal ng response ng sky. I am using the white box.

finally dumating na ang technician with a new digibox, black. Wala na problem. Kailangan kulitin ang tech support.

Bale nangyari naging Power Pack siya + HBO Hits HD. Pero sa TV ko sa room that has the original Skycable HD subscription doesn't have those channels? Baka glitch?

Is it the white coship box? That was first installed to my samsung tv. Then we upgraded to a bigger bravia, ang dami naging problems.  First we thought it was thr hdmi cables, ayaw parin after mag palit. Then we called for a technician to check. Suspect was the signal, pero ok naman after checking. Next suspect was the hdmi port nung box, kasi paputol putol ang programs. Finally he gave up and promised to come up with a new box. He came back with a new box, yung black na. Plug and play lang ayos na. Kamot kami ng ulo lahat. Seems merong compatibility between the receivers and the tv. Just sSharing this experience we learned the hard way.

I answered her na since all in yung package, di ba we should expect to have all hd channels activated?

So sir, you mean nagkaron ng iRecord function yung HD box nyo after the upgrade? Does it mean you can record shows na using your HD box and then save sa HDD connected via USB? Pa-confirm naman sir, kse in that case it would be so awesome. I have an iRecord box (silver box) pero mabilis mapuno (320 gb capacity), so I plan to connect an HDD dun sa second tv na naka-black HD box. Paturo na rin sir ng steps kung pa'no kayo nagrecord sa HDD, hehe. Salamat!

Press <MENU> then go to <SETTINGS> then go to <TV SETTINGS> then choose from 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p. If you choose <AUTO>  the default is 1080i.

Because it's an older gen digibox.  Mine is color black or the new gen digibox.  The default of HD Digibox is 1080i talaga. And I don't think the difference will be noticeable ( 1080p, 1080i, 720p) if the HDTV is less than 50 inches.  Besides, are the shows on HD at 1080p?  I doubt it.  So kahit 1080p naka set, at hindi naman 1080p yun pinapalabas, ganun din.  I set mine at AUTO.

ako nagpa 2nd hd box about 4-5 months ago. plan ko is Sky Cable Gold with Revo Pack & NBA Premium HD. Gulat ako sa 2nd HD box up to now may Discovery HD, History HD, HBO HD, HBO Signature HD & ESPN HD when there shouldn't be. Ayoko nga itawag baka kasi mawala sayang naman. Yun lang nasa room ko yung original HD box na Revo lang & NBA HD. Gusto ko rin sana yung mga channels na included sana sa Innovation package so i called this morning & to my surprise ang included nalang daw sa Innovation was Discovery, History & HBO HD. Tama ba sabi sakin ng sales rep nila? Di ko lam if he meant na aside from the channels I have from revo, eto yung madadagdag, which is still lacking because before Innovation pack included ESPN & NBA. Kainis ang Sky, dami nilang ni-remove & made new "packages" na mahal na, di pa included ang ibang HD channels na gusto mo. ARGH!

currently on Revo pack + NBATV Premium HD since March 2012. Called up Sky today to upgrade to Power Pack so I can get the other channels & ESPN HD. The rep put me on hold for a few mins and when he came back told me I had to finish my 1 year lock-in period to my Revo Pack/NBATV Premium. Tama ba to? Sa pagkakaintindi ko before after like 2-3 mos I can upgrade. It's not like I'm cancelling or downgrading.

Second question, wala bang ala carte HD channels ang Sky?

Did you came from SD Box? then upgrade to an HD Box for free but need to subscribe in Revo Pack? if yes then you're in a 1 year lock in. What you can do now to get an ESPN is to add the sports pack.
You can cancel the Sports Pack or any additional HD channel as early as 1 month.
As far as I know, only NBA Premium & ASN is the only individual channel you can add. HTH.

Sa mga nagtransition from SD to HD digibox, free ba ito? ano na magiging subscription mo after upgrading? naka 280basic lang kasi ako + disney jr + ASN ngayon. Gusto ko sanang gawing HD ang ASN ko at pagdating ng March, papalitan ko ASN HD to NBA HD naman.

Last year, Yes free if you will subscribe to Revolution Pack 299 for 1yr. I don't know now if promo is still exist. After upgrading instead of getting ala carte, better add the Sports Pack 550 (ASN HD,NBA,ESPN,OutdoorHD). Thanks

meron ba sa inyo na may registered account sa http://www.mysky.com.ph ?

when i created an account there were two features that you can activate.

there were - Fox Movies Play and Online billing.

Question is - Is the fox movies free? or may additional charges yan if you activate it?

big wipeout of channels when the month started. they are getting aggressive in pushing for the digibox usage. this time there was no advisory on the channels that were taken off weeks before.

Quote
In Metro Manila, CAMANAVA, Rizal, Cavite and selected areas in Laguna and Bulacan, the first batch of channels transitioning to SKYcable’s digital platform for this year include MYX (ch.23), CNN (ch. 28), BeTV (ch. 35), National Geographic (ch.41), AXN (ch. 49), Star Movies (ch. 55), Lifestyle Network (ch.23) and Velvet (ch. 23), which will become inaccessible to subscribers without the SKYcable Digibox starting February 1.

Sorry if this has been asked before, thread is too long to back read entirely.

How does SD channels look on a full HD panel? I'm coming from Cignal, where some SD channels look ok, but BTV was dark and blur (specially game re-runs). Does BTV look better with Sky SD kaya?

From Cignal plan 1290, I'm thinking of Sky plan 499 plus ala-carte channels. Pero Baka mag-sisi ako na walang HD.

on an LCD TV, avoid having the 4:3 aspect as it will have the black marking on the sides which is not recommended in a long run. it might result to permanent marking on the panel. this is true not only to plasma tv's

Cheers for the info! Although I can't imagine those two channels just being available just for that *New* Package. Surly they will be ala carte too. If not there is gonna be some mad HD subscribers. Really it should be included in the ALL IN Pack...but like with Cinema Word and Sundance Channel, I'm sure they wont be. Sky really just needs to change the name of that HD package, or just charge more for it. Cause right now it feels like false advertising.

Speaking of new channels, our Digibox has a lot of reserved channels.
There are about 26 Reserved SD and 2 Reserved HD channels. Before it was 4 Reserved HD but it is now Syfy and Universal.

I think Sky will add channels from Destiny or is in the process of integrating Destiny's channels to their network. The 26 Reserved SD are mainly Destiny channels, I once saw, PBO, PinoyExtreme, GNN, GPC, ETTV Movies, CTS, Zee Cinema and more.

Di ko na tinake note lahat, basta napansin ko mga Destiny channels sya and most of them are the Chinese, Taiwanese and Indian channels of Destiny.

And pls lang skycable, I think you should change the name of the All in HD pack... Di naman kasi sya all in hd pack nga...

Starting from chanel 183 and up, di na sya included sa all in hd...

Still no word yet on when Syfy HD and Universal HD will be available to other HD subscribers including All In Pack subscribers. As of now it is only available in the Dual Def 999 package. Don't hold your breath though, I get the feeling it will be only offered via ala carte.

oo bro may installation fee kung hindi ka pa naka HD box, 1299 yun. lock-in ka for 1yr, pre-term 3k. i called them just now and requested for HD box upgrade on my 1st account with 15days trial. planning to get/add 299 revo pack (no lock-in) after trial period for my parents :). require sila ng letter/email for dualdef kasi may lock-in daw ito.

existing plan: select 280/month
upgrade option 1> dual def 499/999; 1299 installation fee one-time payment; 1yr lock; 3k for preterm
upgrade option 2> select 280 + any HD pack; 1499 installation fee one-time payment; at least 1 month lock-in for any HD pack (you can have it removed after 1 month then go back to select 280, naka HD box kana nito)

May existing HD Box ka na po ba (yung black) na may icon ng irecord? if yes, need nyo lang po eh external hard disk minimum of 320gb. Once you upgrade to dual def sabay nyo na rin po ipa activate yung irecord.

On the duration, I think as long as your plan was under dual def it's free since no additional fee is required for irecord if your using your existing HD Box(black). If in case may charge na then ipa deactivate yung irecord feature.

Yun po kasing irecord HDBox nila na may built it 320gb eh ang cost nya ay 3k installation plus 350/mo. for rental fee.

Need nyo po muna mag upgrade sa Dual Def, I think sa plan nyo ang pwede eh 999 kasi kung pag 499 ka downgrading yun.

Tanong nyo rin sa call center kung sino may hawak ng account nyo para mas maasikaso kayo. Tex tex lang pwede na kayong mag inquire. Siya na yung mag aactivate ng irecord mo. HTH

It may take a while before Sky can activate the iRecord function on your HD box.  Rest assured that we will work on the availability of this function within May-June. And when it happens, there is no need to swap HD boxes anymore since the iRecord feature will be activated remotely.

It may take a while before Sky can activate the iRecord function on your HD box.  Rest assured that we will work on the availability of this function within May-June. And when it happens, there is no need to swap HD boxes anymore since the iRecord feature will be activated remotely. You just need to have an external hard drive connected to your HD box to activate the iRecord functionality

Naka schedule po ako kanina for change ng HDBox na may irecord function, unfortunately walang idea yung installer re. irecord, akala nila for activation lang ng HDBox, ang dala kasi nilang HDBox eh same lang ng existing ko. So re schedule for next saturday, need pa raw nila iactivate yung irecord system sa mga on hand HDBox nila.

Ask ko lang po, dapat ba kong umasa na maactivate na yung irecord next week?
Thanks.

Kung yung HD Box po na black yung sinasabi po ninyo wala pong irecord capability yun pero yung software kasi nya is makikita mo yung irecord pero naka disable pa po yun kasi wala naman po yun internal hard drive. Ang irecord hdbox po ayun po yung color silver na meron ng hard drive sa loob na 320 gig.

Yes HDBox na black and i have an external hard drive so no need to get the silver HD Box.
Unfortunately di pa activated yung irecord ng black HDBox.
Hopefully by next week ma activate na.
BTW one of our fellow user here already activated his irecord on his black HDBox so I guess we will no longer wait by may or june.

Wala na daw extra na babayaran so 999 lang talaga monthly. Tapos yung waiting time hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ganun ka tagal..... Di lang yung hdbox kung di pati yung dual def plan need ko antayin.

If i were the owner of sky cable, i would already have fired the marketing manager. If you take a look at their site, there's not even a side by side comparison of all their plans. You don't know what additional channels you get from subscribing to higher plans. My golly, even a high school student can do an html table!

Question po:
Yung TV kasi namin hindi pa LCD/LED flat ---> CRT Flatscreen lang...bibili pa lang within the year.

If currently, naka PLAN 280 ka, may magbabago ba sa resolution ng channel (mga SD channels) if ipapa-upgrade ko yung PLAN to DUAL-DEF 499 kasi mapapalitan na yung box ko from SD Digibox to HD Digibox or as is yung resolution/compression ng images?

Parang ganito:
SD Channel using SD Digibox (Plan 280)
SD Channel using HD Digibox (Dual Def 499)
Same quality or mag-iimprove?

Pwede pa rin mag-select ng additional channels e.g. Discovery at Animal Planet for 50 pesos if naka-dual def?

Thanks!

Ang gulo ng Sky. Tumawag ako to report wala paring iRecord feature yung black hdbox namin. Dapat meron kasi nakalagay sa promo ng Sky na may libreng iRecord feature kasama pag nag-avail ng Dual Def subscription. Tinanong ng CSR kung anong version ba ng box namin, sabi ko ay 2.2.2. Sabi nya for replacement na lang. Kahapon dumating yung taga-Sky at sinabi ko na walang iRecord feature yung hdbox namin. Sabi nya wala daw talagang iRecord yung box namin kasi hindi daw sya black, grey dapat sya. Kung gusto ng iRecord dapat palitan yung hdbox namin (iRecord box siguro yung tinutukoy nyang ipapalit kasi sinabi nya sa akin na iba daw ang itsura nung box sa hdbox namin). Sabi ko syempre gusto namin ng iRecord kasi kasama sya dapat sa package ng pagpalit namin ng subscription to Dual Def. Bumalik ulit yung taga-Sky kanina (pero ibang tao sa nakausap ko kahapon), akala ko papalitan na ang box namin sabay pareho lang ang ginawa nung dumating sa kahapon. Tiningnan lang ang box at sinabi na kung gusto namin ng iRecord, dapat daw mag-request ng panibagong box. Sinabi ko ulit ang reason ko na gusto nga namin ng iRecord kasi nga kasama sya sa Dual Def subscription namin.

Ang gulo ng Sky. Parang yung mga technician pa nila ang walang alam tungkol sa hdbox nila, at sa mga promos ng Sky.

I am also subscribed to their All-In HD pack (all HD from channels 164 to 182) but since last week I'm on a 1-month free trial period for 6 additional HD channels (183 to 188) that Sky intends to charge an additional Php 700 for.  No brainer sana as in NO WAY except that ang ganda nung isang channel - 184 Cinema World - puro foreign language films with English subtitles.  During the long weekend, I watched a variety of exceptional movies from countries like France, Russia, Chile, Belgium, Colombia, Spain etc.  It's like a new world of cinema was opened for me and its all good.

But c'mon Sky - "All-In" should count for something.

nagbayad ako P1,999 for dual def package plan P999. wala pa atang free installation promo  8)  :P  O0

i already have sky broadband unli plan P999 speed 1mbps way back 2010. kaya after installation ng sky cable ko called them up for a free upgrade to 1.5mbps.

matagal na kami sa sky broadband na bibihira lang masira ang connection namin. siguro mga 2-3 times lang ako tumawag sa csr nila at yung isa duon may maintenance issue pa.

in my observation sa hd channels ng sky is two thumbs up walang pagsisi whatsoever  (madami akong mga hd movies at  hd tv series ranging to 720p to 1080p). pagnanunuod nga si boss ng food network hd nakakagutom kasi sa quality yum yum yum  ;D  :D

Kaso 2 ch PCM lang output sakin kahit naka-direcho na yung HDMI sa AV receiver.  :( Ayaw mag Dolby Digital. Di ko pa na-try SPDIF. Parang iba itsura ng optical port nila dun sa receiver and TV ko.

Pero ang linaw nga ng HD channels :D. Naka-Dobly PL II yung AVR ko para gumana surround. Saya manood ng movies! ;D

I'll start with a rant on Skycable and follow with a question next.

I currently live in a condo and initially contacted Skycable to have them install the Dual Def 999 package. They told me that they would send someone to install two saturdays ago. They didn't show even if I followed up three times throughout the day with the agents only giving me the runaround and the assurance that the installer will show up. They didn't even bother to call me up that they would be unable to. They just told me to wait since their installers can show up even at 7pm. I've wasted my whole day waiting for the d@mn installer to show up. So i called them up again to schedule the installation this saturday and they cannot give me the assurance that someone would show up and they said it's been scheduled this saturday and they'll install it between 9am-5pm. I don't want to waste a whole day again waiting for nothing.

They called me up today to inform me that they found out my condo is only capable of analog and i cannot avail of the Dual Def 999 package and that the skycable package available for my building is only the gold package and i can't avail of anything else. Is this true? My condo is a condotel (condo / hotel) located in makati.

SkyCable will soon have 30 HD Channels!

While viewing SkyCable's new Duel-Def promo I noticed that they soon will be offering 30 HD channels. Some of the new channels coming seem to be Comedy Central HD, MTV Live HD, Nat Geo Wild HD, Nat Geo Adventure HD, Channel M HD, and one more HD channel I can't make out the logo of.


As per lakay77's post magiging available daw tong 30 HD channels sa Dual Def 1799 this April ;D. 19 nga lang SD channels (non-issue naman sakin  ;))

Ako din, excited dito. Per checking sa channel line-ups nila, 19 yung local channels. Yun na kaya yung 19 SD channels? Gusto ko pa naman sana ng Star Movies  :'( (SD nga lang at available at the moment).

I'm also seeing those new scrambled channels (mostly from Global Destiny) > nasa ch 200+.

I think hindi pa kasama dyan sa bilang na yan  ung mga local channels... So literally it will be more than 19 sd channels... probably like cinema one, hbo etc...  kasi I counted the sd channel nung dual def 499, they say na 30 sd channels pero hindi kasama dun sa bilang na yun ung mga local channels... :)

guys what is the normal Signal Quality of SkyCable Dual Def.
I am getting 69-70% (strength is 68%) both SD and HD channels which causes pixelation when there are fast moving things on screen.

Does anyone know if Sky Dual Def has 5.1 audio? Or stereo only?

Post by: chongklc on May 14, 2013 at 01:17 PM
Some quick questions for those who have used the irecord functionality of Sky Cable's Dual Def Plan (using the new black HD Box and external storage):

1) What is the file format out the output file? I read in an earlier post that it is mpeg2.ts.  Can someone confirm this?

2) Is the output file (saved TV show) saved in the external drive?

3) Can you use this file and view it using other media players (i.e. WDTV Live)? Or is this only viewable using the Sky Cable Digibox?

4) If only viewable using the digibox, does anyone know of a software program that can convert this to another file format and make it viewable using other media players?

The reason I ask is that I have a brother who works abroad and is a big UAAP fan, I used to record the games using my Sansui DVD-R, I then send these to him so that he can watch it, however, it recently died on me and I'm thinking of getting a new one (having a hard time deciding what to buy), if irecord has this functionality, this could save me some money :)

Thanks in advance.

.ts yung file niya at naka save sa hard drive pero hindi yata siya pwedeng i transfer sa pc. Sinubukan ko rin maghanap ng software na .ts to mp4,avi etc. ayaw parin niya. Baka sa digibox lang talaga siya pwedeng panuorin and it sux :(

meron ba rf out ang Sky HD STB? kasi mas maganda gamitin ang default tuner sa modern tv ngayon kasi mas maganda ang interface nila den it has smart features such as S recommendations where your tv would suggest some recommendations based on your preferrence or your viewing habit.

Thanks sir for the quick response, you are right, it sucks :(  Most probably, Skycable included its own encryption in the output file to make it only viewable using the digibox, haaay! Back to looking for a PVR then.

Thanks again.

Hello PDVD, can anybody confirm if your signal quality is affected during peak hours?
would like to verify if this is based on a particular area only.

the scenario is: signal quality is @ 60-70 during day time... then it goes down to 30-40 prime time. resulting to degraded pixelated viewing on such occasion.

Btw, this applies to those in dual def.

just checking... thanks!

I'm on dual def 499 and my HD channels deteriorate especially from 6 - 9 pm.  The most frustrating thing is that Fox SPorts Plus which is the main reason why i subscribed to HD is the most affected followed by CNN and Star World. HBO is the least affected. I have reported this about 2 weeks ago but not yet solved (and still waiting for follow-up visit). I've been calling 381-0000 almost every other day.   

Location is at Antipolo (along Marcos Hiway area). Is this a low signal area?  Anyone here with similar issues?

FYI. Problem solved.  The technician came last week and replaced their main cable line from the nearby electric post to the splitter inside our house.  Looks like the culprit is the main line which was not a continuous line (it was too short, so another line was added via a connector before the splitter).  For those who are interested, here are the measurements taken before and after:

main line = 15 dB
after splitter = 2 dB (before); 11 dB (after)
main TV = -2 dB (before); 8 dB (after)
    signal quality from 58% (before) to 74% (after)

Sino na nakalipat from 499+18 HD Pack to Dual Def Titanium Pack?  Parang gusto ko lumipat kaso hindi ko alam kung ano pa ang mga SD channels na kasama.  Yung nasa skycable website kasi mga must-carry local SD channels lang ang nakalagay.

Guys nakalipat ako from 499 + 18 HD Pack to Dual-Def Titanium. Walang pre-termination. ;D Kelangan lang ata silang kulitin (naka-ilang tawag din ako). Hanap na lang kaso bisor kung ayaw talaga  ;)

My latest bill just arrived and P1799 lang talaga (walang pre-term fees), up from P1698.

Local channels lang talaga ata SD channels na kasama (Myx lang nadagdag). Ang ginawa ko, nagkabit ako ng coax from RF-out nung Digibox papunta sa RF-in ng TV. Kuha ko na yung ibang SD channels like Cinema One, Balls, etc. and malinaw pa din sya - para lang naka-digibox lang din.  :D

it is not recommended to place another electronic device to a heat source that can double up the operating temperature of such device. better move it away from the STB.

Yes pwede. Tried it before but you won't be getting all the channels kasi most of the channels require the digibox due to encryption.

Guys, i just tried the iRecord feature of Sky HD. Sobrang ok. You can record your shows and schedule them just like we used to do during the Betamax days. All you need to do is attach a USB drive and press Record on the remote!

I think Sky should market this feature more. It's a significant advantage against Cignal.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: TheSaxMan on Jun 30, 2013 at 08:17 PM
The problem with the irecord is that it defeats the purpose of watching a show that you can't watch because you're watching a show from another channel because of the limited channel surfing
Title: Re: SkyCable HD

Oo nga. But at least you can record shows when you're not home. Also it can do time shifting.

Tinuruan ko na lang sila pano mag-switch between TV & HDMI kasi napipickup pa naman ng TV yung ibang cable channels gaya ng Cinema One (nung kinabit ko sa RF-Out ng box) at malinaw naman signal basta naka-on yung box. Okay na ako sa setup na to kasi di naman ako nanonood nung ibang SD channels. Hassle nga lang dun sa mga gusto manood ng Cinema One. hehehe  ;D

Skycable called me today.  Since Dual Def 999 + NBA Premium ako, they offered if I wanted to temporarily replace my NBA Premium channel with the 3 premium HBO channels, habang off-season raw ang NBA.  Then once NBA season begins, puwede ko na raw ibalik.

I did not avail of the offer, but I salute Sky for the value added service they offer subscribers.  I'm so not missing my old HD provider.  :)

Yung Plan280 is using SD cable box at available add-on nya is Sky Select.

OO pede yan ... ganyan plan ko ngayon, with free HD box yung promo nila dati ... backread ka lang for more info.

I can't avail of the Dual Def 999. stuck with Skycable Gold but without the channels that are only available by the digibox. I feel so robbed about it.

Hi fellow skycable users.

We had DualDef 999 installed last Saturday but CNN HD and Food Network HD can't be captured yet due to poor signal output. Does anyone experience same? Technical team is still fixing the issue.

Are you satisfied with Dual Def999? Would you subscribe back to Cignal if there was no pre-term charge?

I have 32 LCD and another 1 projector with 51 Plasma on the opposite side (around 20 m). Both outlets were provided with terminals so I could hook the HD Box anytime. I'm using 32 LCD now most of the time and plans to get Cignal on the opposite outlet for the Projector and 51 Plasma.

Would appreciate input.  :)

My answers would be YES, and NEVER.

Even if Dual Def 999 wasn't very good, I'll still not return to Cignal due to (in my opinion) unethical business practice.  I won't post them here, since I've already ranted on the Cignal thread.

With SkyCable, I suspect some of their channels are picked up via Satellite.  Wired CATV should be immune to rain fade, but sometimes when it rains hard in the metro, yung mismong Sky feed ang nawawala.  Happens to some channels lang naman, not all.  So makes me think those channels are sourced via Satellite.

I'll try to check closer, but the digibox can be set to output 1080p.  So if the source is actually upscaled 720i, then I couldn't tell (lucky for me).

Clarity wise, Cignal was clearer, under ideal conditions.  But I hated rain fade, which compromised my Cignal viewing.  That in itself was a big factor going SkyCable's way.  Clarity advantage of Cignal was not overwhelming.

You've seen my rant on the other thread regarding Cignal.  It's corporate, not territorial issue.

Magandang umaga mga sir/mam,

so now you are just paying 499 but you have 2 tvs on dual def?
so yung 3k+ is paid once tapos wala ng additional sa monthly fees mo?
correct me sir kung mali ang intindi ko.

thanks sir..

499 + 250 ( 2nd tv mnthly fee ) = 749 monthly ko.

i paid one time payment  250(?) for the second tv box ( SD box ) sabay during pag install.  HDbox one time payment ay nasa 3k(?) if im not mistaken. Since Mejo mahal ang HDbox, settle n lang ako sa extension na SDbox :-(

Ayaw ko naman pachange address yung 999 kasi bayad installation fee then bayad p installation fee para sa 499.

You don't know what you're talking about. Of course, pwede nya gawin un. Nasa STB (particularly yung smart card) ang plan subscription ng isang subscriber. Yung smart card ang nagbibigay ng info sa box kung anong mga channels ang pwede mong panoorin kya kung tutuusin kahit yung smart card lang ang pagpalitin mo pwede din. Yung signal kasi na nanggagaling sa linya ng cable, pareparehas lng sa isang area.

Yup just 20 SD channels, that's the rub with this plan.  No BBC, CNN, Nickelodeon and the like.

I have their Gold plan, plus their All-In HD pack, plus some "ala carte" HD channels (which weren't included in their "All In" HD pack - go figure), and some SD packs.  I'm paying like 3300 per month which is a preposterous amount to pay for friggin'  cable TV. 

This is why I am looking at their new packages to bring the monthly cost down without losing the "must have" channels.  They make it so damned complicated for us subscribers.

I'm currently subscribed to their Dual Def 1799 plus Kids Pack. For me di sulit yung mga nadagdag na channels from the All-In Pack. Might change my package once the 6-month lock-in period expires.

Left Speaker - Mono Left (left audio signal sent to both left and right speakers)

Right Speaker - Mono Right (right audio signal sent to both left and right speakers)

Mixed (Equalizer icon) - Mono Left+Right (left+right signals are mixed, then same (mixed) signal is sent to both left and right speakers)

Left + Right Speaker - Stereo

*** Pag naka-5.1 setup mo (or any setup with a center speaker like 3.1, 7.1, etc.), pwedeng nasa center lang ang tunog pag mono ang input (mono left, mono right and mixed)***

Sky will now have 42 HD channels by Oct. 15.


Good move by Sky. Any info if there will be additional fees to access said HD channels? I'm currently subscribed to their Dual Def Titanium package.

Anyhow, has anybody tried to successfully play recorded videos by the digibox but not on digibox?

I tried to hook up an external hdisk to the box and recorded a short segment of a show, it plays fine on the digibox but when I hooked up the hdisk to my pc, missing codecs daw. Tried VLC, Media player classic, media player, ayaw lahat unfortunately.

This is the same thing that happened to the All-In-Pack subscribers who were basically screwed with  the "All-In-But-Not-Really-All-In" package... THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY PAYING MORE ARE THE ONES THAT GOT SCREWED...It seems that we need to add 200 pesos more to get these new HD channels... 1799 package  to get all of their HD channels (before Oct. 15)  and now they are adding 1999 package to get the new HD channels?? WTF Whats next? A 2100 package if they have more HD channels and so on and so forth??
Get your acts together Sky...

PS
I mean, is it too much to ask if Sky Cable will just add a couple more new HD channels for us Titanium subscribers  considering we availed of the "a bit more expensive" package? I'm not asking for all of the new HD channels, just a couple...

Yes I agree with you, dapat for the amount we are paying, the should give us these channels in our package. I'm paying almost 3000 a month on my cable, which is almost ridiculous. I'm already looking at what I can do to lessen my monthly bill. My breakdown,

Silver 830
All in hd 1199
2 boxes 500
Chinese 150 ata.

I'm looking at removing the silver package, but I really need the news channels like bloomberg, cnbc, bbc etc.

hi folks, ask ko lang if anyone has experienced this on their HD box. I currently have a dual def 499 plan so syempre, I don't have all the channels available. So what I did was to delete the other channels that I don't have so I don't have to keep passing through those channels when I'm browsing channels looking for something to watch.

Kaso ang problema, the channels that I've already deleted keep coming back the next day. I have 2 sky boxes, one is SD the other one is HD. I've had the SD box for a couple of years now, never naman bumalik yung channels once I delete them. For the HD box, bumabalik lagi kahit ano gawin ko. I even reported this to Sky and they exchanged the HD box for another one but ganon pa rin.

Does anyone have the same experience on their HD boxes? I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription because of this, but may lock-in period of 3 years for dual def plans according to sky which I have to pay php3k daw if I want to cancel my subscription.

oreoshake - favorites is an option, but I think the HD box has a firmware issue because the SD box isn't recovering deleted channels on it's own. Otherwise, the "delete" function shouldn't be on the remote at all if it doesn't work properly.

I'm very pleased with the addition of History HD and Bio HD to the Dual Def 999 plan.  Yung dati, sulit na yung History SD kasi I love watching Pickers, Kings or Restoration, Pawn Stars.  Last weekend, nagsawa ako dun sa Storage Wars marathon sa Bio HD.

Kay esmi naman tuwang tuwa siya sa Warner TV HD, Travel HD, and Lifestyle HD.  Crime and Investigation HD na lang ang gusto niya.  Available kaya for add-on siya?  Dati  yung SD kasi P20 per month as add-on.  I've not tried calling their Customer Care Hotline yet...

I've had the SD box for a couple of years now, never naman bumalik yung channels once I delete them. For the HD box, bumabalik lagi kahit ano gawin ko. I even reported this to Sky and they exchanged the HD box for another one but ganon pa rin.

Does anyone have the same experience on their HD boxes? I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription because of this, but may lock-in period of 3 years for dual def plans according to sky which I have to pay php3k daw if I want to cancel my subscription.


I'm under Dual Def 499 plan as well and I don't have the same experience with deleted channels. What I've deleted stayed deleted naman. I don't unplug my HD box, could it be the reason? Do you unplug your HD box?

I applied for dual def today, unfortunately audit pa daw bago makabitan.

When I gave the rep our address, meron na daw kasi subscriber with the same address as ours.

Medyo magulo kasi numbering ng maliit na street namin and our apartments has numbers din...

Gano kaya katagal process? May pupunta daw engineering something to check the area... pero the rep can't give exact date and time..

Baka lang some of you has the same experience... paano naging process at gaano katagal?

TY

Kapag converting from silver plan to dual def 999 magkano magiging fee?

You pay only the installation fee of P350 - I also just upgraded from Silver to dual def 999 last month. But there's a 1 year lock up period for the HD set top box to be free. I also had 1 additional HD set top box 2 weeks after, for my son's room, again, only paid the installation fee of P350, but additional P250 each month, lock up for 18 months. Realized now how poor Sky Cable's marketing is in not communicating more clearly and broadly how easy and cheap it is to convert to dual def!

Hi, you don't need to go to a branch to avail PPV. You just need to call Sky. And when you do, make sure you call them from your home, they will ask you some info printed at the back of your HD box. They will also ask you to change the channel to 195 and you need to confirm once you see something is shown.

The last time i availed a ppv from them i pay the subscription fee and fill up a form on their office. Well, it's just a few steps lang naman from our home to their office here in laguna. So i can drop by naman.

Got a text from them last Friday.. They currently have this promo valid till November 1st.. P499 (HD). November 2nd onwards, P999 na.

^ No, it's a different plan from Silver or Gold plans. In my case, when I applied for Dual Def, my Gold plan was terminated.

Sir, ang plan ko talaga was Gold plus P1999 na Dual Def.. Since hindi pwede, meron bang iba na way para makakuha pa din ako ng SD channels ng Gold? How about through Select? Tyia
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: qwerty765 on Oct 28, 2013 at 10:47 PM
^ yes, through select. In my case, when I changed my plan from Gold to Dual Def 499, we added Disney Jr., Nick Jr., and History Channel. All SD channels.

However, Sky recently added History HD, so we called to cancel History SD. But according to Sky, no need na daw since History SD has become a regular channel line-up for Dual Def.

Which channels from Gold do you like added? There are several plans in Dual Def, you may want to check their respective channel line-ups.

Well for me, BTV (not available for Select) and Star Movies.. For everybody else in the household, PBO, Cinema One (Also not available for Select), Disney JR, ANC, Teleradyo etc.. Madmi Sir e.. And the only way to satisfy my HD cravings without getting any complaints from them would be to just stick w/the Gold plan on top of the Dual Def plan.hehe

^ I think the best question here is, when they say November 23, is this Macau time or US (PT/ET etc.) time? Obviously, Top Rank's main market will still be in the US so Saturday night, Macau time may not generate more ppv buys stateside.. So for now, basing from what I have read so far, schedule will still be, 8am onwards on Sunday, Nov. 24.

As for the exact main event time, i'll put my money around 1130am Manila time. ;D

the exact measurement? i can check when i get home later. anything i should specifically look for?


anyway to answer my previous post for those who might be concerned in the future,
yes once irecord is activated, on the usb slot depending on which type of box, you will be needing a storage drive/stick to save videos. sky suggested 320gbs, assuming bec they are hd vids.

seen cignal hd once in a resto, with sky so far browsed hbo hd and josh brolin's forehead seemed wrinkled. reporters on beIN definitely looked pissed. patches on the field were obvious. either i have bad eye sight or my display is limited, id say not bad sky. was surprised with mib 3 knowing it was from a cable box.

@pao @ peeves

wala naman daw basta naka dual def , may binanggit sila kung anong klaseng box meron ako, kung black daw ba? kung black, basta may usb slot sa harap yun sa kaliwa sa harap, pull down ninyo tapos nandun yung slot.

as per sky:

1 hour HD Video 3.7gb
1 hour SD Video 2.3gb

they recommend at least 320gb of hard drive for recording. i mentioned i might use my 30gb usb stick, sky replied 'technically is is able but if problems are encountered, sky will not be liable. :)

anyone care to share thier experience

from their website RTL-CBS is clearly available for both sd ch 53 and hd ch 196 broadcast.

Used to have P280 package ( now P299 na ito ) SD then I requested for NBA HD ( additional P350 ).  The promo then ( last year ) was 50% off for installation of HD Digibox so I paid P1,500.  Mura na yun P1,299 i guess.  Then I requested for an upgrade to P499 dual def + the NBA HD + P50 Nickolodeon kasi wala sya sa P499 package.

mautak yung sky kasi alam nila marami may gusto ng NBA premium. hehe. i think 350 is too much for one channel. eh sa cignal kasama na yung nba premium HD sa 590 plan nila.

just got my hd box installed. nilagyan ng installer ng isolator dun sa cable then after a few minutes biglang nawala yung ibang channels then pangit signal ng channels, then tinanggal ko yung isolator biglang ok na lahat then mas tumaas yung signal strength.

para san ba yung isolator na yun? hehe

Tanong lang mga master. Mas ok ba yun quality ng SD channels pag naka-HD digibox since hdmi cable na gagamitin? Naka-plan 299 ako ngayon sa kanila at yun resolution ng SD is 480i. 2 kausap ko sa skycable kanina pero magkaiba ng sagot, yun isa same 480i ng SD channels yun isa mas gaganda daw kasi naka-hdmi na. Need to know kasi hehe. TIA

Maybe you are referring to the lightning arrestor sir.  I had my HD box replaced ( defective HDMI port ) and yun pinalit nila kahapon may kasama na ganito ( sorry ha madilim hehe )

Meron na ganyan lahat ngayon para di masira due to lightning.  Yun ang nangyari sa akin last time, kumidlat tapos nasira TV ko at HD box dahil dumaan sa cable at HDMI. 

Baka maluwag lang.  Shouldn't be a problem with yours.

I would think there will be improvement on the HD one. Dati nag experiment ako sa DVD player. Using the same DVD source, I tested both composite video out and component video out. Mas malinaw pa rin ang component video lalo na pag text. I would think the same for composite vs. HDMI.

Or maybe you can ask redram, who has both HD and SD boxes.

No, dahil kung titignan mo yung info sa box, MPEG2 lang yung audio which means stereo sound lang ang pinoproduce nung box.

Dual Def 499 - gets you all the best SD + HD channels. Then you can add NBA HD (+P350).

I regretted I took the Dual Def 999, the additional HD channels on top of the 499 were not worth it and no NBA HD. I should have gone 499 + NBA. Hope you learn from my mistake.

Haven't tried Cignal yet but SkyCable HD has a lot more channels and upcoming channels to choose from. So far satisfied with my SkyCable subscription. Downgraded from Titanium HD to Dual Def 999 + Kids Pack 2 and some select HD channels. Best package so far for me.  ^-^

By the way, free installation ba?

Cignal is OK naman basta wag lang bumabagyo at umuulan ng malakas.  Since it's a satellite dish, it experiences NO SIGNAL during bad weather.  That's the complaint of my sister who recently switched to Cignal.  I'm happy with my Sky Cable dual def P499 package + NBA Premium HD + MTV Live Asia HD + Nickolodeon SD for kids.  Less than P1K a month.

Currently satisfied with the dual def 499 (bundled with internet, plus free phone service). Added Disney Junior for my son, Food Network HD for my wife. I've got all things covered. baka sa Playoffs na ako mag-lagay ng NBA HD since current schedule does not permit to watch live games. I had to shell out 2k for the installation of the bundle.

i have dual def 499 at home, then sa office namin naka Cignal. i just noticed na mas malinaw yung channels ng sky either its HD/SD or baka di lang calibrated mabuti yung tv sa office. hehe.

Paano ba pwede gawin dito mga sir?

Currently yung digibox is nasa second floor, need ilipat sa ground floor. Di aabot yung cable pag nilipat.

Paano ba gawan ng extension yung cable? or should I call sky and let them do it?

I'm afraid it would cost a lot kung sila gagawa?

Sukatin mo kung gano kahaba yung cable na gagamitin mo.  (Palagyan mo na ng dulo, sorry hindi ko alam yung term)
Bili ka ng coax cable coupler (di ko alam kung eto nga ang tawag. Pero tiningnan ko sa google at yun naman yung nakita kong pic)
Basically yung coupler will enable you to connect  cable. 

Hope this helps boss. :)

got it. almost a year ko ng nirereklamo pero wala pa ring nagagawa. lagi na lang pinapa scan wala ring nangyayari. pag punta pa nga installer dito takang taka pa bakit walang channel 9(jeepney Tv) at yung channels ko from 178 jump to 185 kaya di makita yung cnn HD(181). request ko na palitan na lang ng ibang channels pero ayaw pumayag. mukhang malaki laking ayusan ang gagawin kasi mukhang buong sucat ang affected.
btw since new installed ka pwedeng kang mag request ng 15 days trial para sa lahat ng HD channles.

By the way, free installation ba?

Sorry for the late reply.  New installation of HD had installation fee, pero kung upgrade, free naman daw.

What I did was initially had SkyCable Silver installed (SD boxes) for 1 month, then upgraded to DualDef.  2-step process pero madali naman kausap ang Sky.  Minsan they need to be followed up on service schedule, pero generally forgiveable.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: backdraft on Jan 28, 2014 at 08:19 PM
I don't think na free yung upgrade from SD to dual def HD. I recently upgraded from SD to dual def 499 and I was charged P1299 for the HD upgrade.

binalik mo ba sa Sky yung SD Box? nag upgrade ka ba after a month? if yes dapat ibalik yung 1299 mo
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: backdraft on Jan 28, 2014 at 10:43 PM
Yes, I returned the SD box. I upgraded from to HD maybe after 5-6 months of having SD.

Sure kayo na free dapat ang upgrade? I have an extension pa na SD and hindi ko mapa-HD kasi nga another P1299 daw yun.

I paid for box upgrades back then, but installation per se was free.  Kasi nga naman naka-latag na ang cables, it was really just replacing the boxes to HD.  Pero promos vary through time.  Baka naka suwerte lang ako...  I had my installation when DualDef was initially released.

Yes, they charge 1299. I asked SkyCable about upgrading my extension box (currently SD) to HD box. They told me they have a promo wherein I don't have to pay 1299 but will have additional 250 monthly and lock-in period of 12mos yata.

Correct! Inaway ko na sila tungkol dyan. Strategy nila para mapagastos ka lalo. On top of HD40 plan, i had to get a basic plan just to retain DZMM Teleradyo.

try to negotiate with Sky. ask mo na rin kung sino naghahawak sa account mo para may nag aasikaso.
kung hindi man mabalik yung 1299 mo eh kahit ipalit na lang yung extension mo na SD to HD na free.

Post by: scifi-fan on Feb 06, 2014 at 12:06 PM
I just finished my 15 day trial of all the channels. Honestly I am relieved to just get the channels in the dual-def plan. Too many channels made me channel surf too much and I couldn't "commit" to watching any single program til it finished. I hope within a decade all the SD stuff will be HD already so no more procrastinating.

The syfy channel sucks. Only thing I would probably want to add is Nat Geo Wild (my youngest likes it) and for me Bio coz' I am in awe watching programs like Hoarders.

I've asked the same question sa CS ng sky some months ago..

May lock in period na 1 year. If wala pa 1 year and gusto mo pa-terminate, may 3,000 fee.

Now kung gusto mo lang palipat, bayad ka pa din ng 2,000.

cguro hindi naman ganun kamahal..cge try ko tumawag..btw me nagkkabit na skycable sa tapat..lumapit ako dun sa mga nagkkabit..sabi ko sino pwede kontakin para mapakabitan ako agad..sabi nya ung 381-something hotline nila..then sabi nya after 1 mo ka pa sir makakabitan nyan..sabi ko talaga? ganun katagal etc..sabay hirit nya na sir me option pa naman tayo..pwede ka namin kabitan ng temporary connection kung gusto mo na..sabi ko pano ung monthly? sabi nya wala na..pero walang digibox so walang HD channel..puro SD channels pero madami..hindi ko na tinanong kung magkano since gusto ko ng HD channels..pero hindi ko akalain meron din palang nag aalok ng unofficial cable lines..tsk tsk.

kaya dapat matapos na ng sky yung pag convert ng lahat to digital para matapos na yang mga illegal connections.

It's just eye-candy, the games were gone, the time is gone when you press the Info button and switching HD channels is slower now compared to the original firmware.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Dgame12345 on Feb 25, 2014 at 07:35 PM
Ang nakita ko lang advantage ng bagong update ng digibox ay sa pag gamit ng irecord, before kasi pag nag record tapos e play mo ung sound ay parang nagpuputol putol parang distorted, ngyn smooth na din ang sound pag play mo video; also the file size ay na reduce na pag nag record, before if i record a hd movie around 2 hrs parang mga around 15gb ang filesize nito, ngyn if i record mga around 6gb nalang ang size ng file
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: jason13 on Feb 25, 2014 at 09:31 PM
Napansin ko rin yung distorted sound sa old firmware, pero di ako gano gumagamit ng irecord. Kung lumiit na yung file size, baka tinaasan nila yung compression. Sana yung live feed, di affected, parang affected kasi yung HD channels. I kinda regret updating my HD box. As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Mine got the s/w update this morning. While exploring the new UI, I noticed that the resolution default is 1080i, changed it to 1080p. I can't remember if the previous s/w level has 1080p resolution option, though. Is this new, or dati na may option na 1080p?

Yup, time is gone when Info button is pressed. But I like that you can already set the time on when you want the box to automatically turn on or off

Hi everyone. New member here. Napunta ako dito kasi nag search ako sa google about sa new digibox update ng skycable.

Ito yung mga nabago.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img801/5098/h5fr.jpg)

(http://imageshack.us/a/img842/2173/eu0a.jpg)

(http://imageshack.us/a/img401/7798/zpye.jpg)

May mga bug sya sa program info or high lang mga taga SkyCable.

Katulad nito.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img716/2072/osvu.jpg)

Now, I figured mas maganda ang motion ng channels lalo na HD kapag naka 1080p. So ginawa ko sya na ganun. Kaya lang, kapag nag surf ka ng channel or basta nililipat-lipat mo eh nawawala yung ibang channels randomly.

For example, nawala ang TV5. Then GMA. Then Hero. Then Studio 23. Basta randomly sya nawawala. And ang local channels and SD channels kapag naka 1080p. Smooth ang motions nila pero pag mabilis ang pinapakita na movements ng isang show sluggish bigla. Pero parang naka 60fps ka then sluggish. Pero kapag nag 720p mode ka, para kang naka 60fps. Ang bilis. Smooth lahat. Kapag naka 1080i ka, parang film ang movement at texture. Parang 24fps. Pero pag nilipat mo sa HD channels, 1-2 seconds mag slow motion then okay na. Pero kapag naka 1080p or 720p ka, smooth lahat. Mas mabilis pa nga ata mag show ang channels kapag ganun eh.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: jason13 on Feb 27, 2014 at 04:34 PM
I noticed this too, iba ang motion sa 1080i, AND nawawala nga TV5 at GMA7, some HD channels like Cinemax HD, nawawala rin.  SD channels mabilis maglipat pero sa HD mabagal.

Ang advantage ng update, mabilis ang boot-up, nice UI and working na ang pag change ng resolution but I would trade all of that for a 1080i resolution HD channels with 60fps and faster HD channel surfing. Oh, and my dad was looking for the Tetris game, lol. Games were gone too.

Again, the default setting is 1080i even if you restore it to the factory setting it is 1080i. If you use it to the local channels (1080p), the motion that you will encounter is more of a film-like effect. For HD, it's smoother and the frame rate is faster.

There is a small PIP (Picture in Picture) menu with the program being watched. What's weird is the DATE. Mine is always one month AHEAD of the current Date and I cannot find a way to change it.

However when you press INFO (Yellow button) 2x on any program, the date is correct.

Since install pa siya. so mukhang hindi trial. Ilang beses na din ako nagpa-add ng channels (Korean pack 2 + MBC & SBS) via hotline, okay naman daw yung 'allocation' ko.

+1. Kaya nga yung 499 dual def natin maraming choices para di ka mag stick sa isang show. Palipat lipat ng channels pag may time para iwas IR. Ako Plasma 51" gamit ko, kaya naka favorites yung mga HD channels, pag commercial sa History lipat ng Nat Geo, HBO or Fox Movies Premium tapos nagkaron pa ng RTL, Warner at Lifetime then ang latest E.

Yung LG LCD TV ko kasi naka-set yung country niya sa Hong Kong kasi doon galing sa Macau(pareho kasi doon kung anong models ang release sa HK). Wala kasi yung Philippines sa country settings niya. Meron kasi siyang built-in digital TV tuner that works only in HK/Macau so hindi gumagana yun dito. Pag analog TV it works normal. Hindi naman ba magkakaroon ng compatibility issues pag iba ang country settings ng TV yung HD digibox pag kinabit sa HDMI? Gumagana naman siya dito pag naka-antenna lang at sa SD box na gamit namin ngayon. NTSC/PAL at Full HD(1920x1080) naman siya.

saan ba gumawa ng splitter? sa HD box o sa main? kung sa HD Box malamang yan ang culprit.
Try mo nag splitter sa main. HTH

Yup I agree cheaper. I can't believe that when be bumped into a Cignal employee earlier, they told us they have a P150 maintenance fee every month incase there is a problem with the subscriber's satellite dish and satellite box. I find that fee nonsense. With SkyCable, everything is free as long as you are a subscriber. They can easily replace your cable box and faulty cables for FREE as long as you are a subscriber.

Yup.. so far i'm very happy with Sky,

After the install, i noticed that i have HD channels that's getting an E48 error, i called the Hotline Sunday morning to report the issue. They said that the issue is because the signal i'm getting is not strong enough. We checked and i'm only getting 50% and they said normally should be getting 75%. They said they will fix the issue..

I went out for some errands and returned afternoon, when i turned on the TV and tried to Scan the channels, i noticed that the signal was now bumped to 78-80%. After searching, all channels are now viewable except for the ones that i'm not subscribed to..

It's been a week and no issues so far. All HD channels are crystal clear..

My question, do they broadcast Dolby Digital or DTS signal? Kasi when i tried to connect it to my receiver, hindi nya ma detect na Dolby Digital ang mga movies..

Most HD fields and sone SD channels broadcast in Dolby Digital 5.1 or Dolby 2 channels. If you have an HD box, the sound is sent to your TV by default because of the HDMI cable.

we are on destiny now... sobrang labo... tinitiis nalang namin.. because its cheap... 500php for all tv in the house...
naglagay na ako ng... booster sa taas ng bahay.. pababa to distribute.. malabo parin.. i am thinking of putting one sa gate? papasok?  mga 40 to 50 meters din kasi from gate and pataas to 3rd floor pa... which i assume is around 5m?

malabo talaga yan pag nakashare kahit pa may booster.the best alternative talaga is to get another subscription which will only be for your own TV. and then hayaan mo na mag share yung other 3 tvs.

250 or 270 for the additional na yun. Di ko lang maaalala exact amount. Free yung box if digibox lang pero if HD box meron one time payment.

MSF + 270 for the additional digibox = total monthly bill
MSF + 270 for the HD box = total monthly bill and a one time payment for the HD box upgrade

Got a free upgrade on my Sky bundle subscription. Sky broadband speed upgrade from 1.5 Mbps to 3 Mbps. Instant upgrade activation done via Sky log-in. Upgrade done in less than 10 minutes.

Downside, my Sky cable discount went down from 15% to 10%. Not complaining, though.

Check your Digibox mail...

I also have one more freebie from Sky, HBO Go Asia. I'll have this activated later.

Nice one, Sky!

Sir, before upgrading, check if the higher bandwidth comes with capping.
My parent's Globe unlimited/uncapped broadband was upgraded from 1Mbps to 3Mbps but with a catch -- 3GB/day cap. They don't normally tell you about the capping part -- you'll just know in the end.

We have Sky Cable Dual Def 499 and Sky Broadband 1.5 Mbps @Php 999. I think they no longer offer 1.5 Mbps. The minimum speed is 3 Mbps @Php 999 if you are an existing Sky cable subscriber. Lock-in period is 12 months instead of 24 months for new Sky broadband subscriber with existing Sky cable subscription.

If you didn't receive a mail in your digibox, try calling Sky. I think it will still be applicable to you. Natuwa lang ako since after agreeing on the T&Cs sa mySky account, the modem resetted by itself and when I ran speed test, yun na 2.95 Mbps yung result. All done via internet.

Would anyone know how to reset the digibox? I was looking at the settings of our digibox and i saw it was set at 1080i. When I changed it to 1080p, the signal disappeared. I've unplugged the digibox but when I plug it, after I see the skycable logo and the message "checking smartcard 107 - 04" the signal disappears and after a minute I'll just see an image every 30 seconds.

^ Sir, I'd recommend that you call the SkyCable Hotline na lang so they can reset it remotely for you.. One way or another, I believe kailangan din nila i-refresh yung card/box niyo to unlock your subscribed channels after resetting.  (02) 381-0000

To connect your digibox to the internet via LAN.  Maybe to download games or if you plan to upgrade the system.  Kasi hindi pa yata wifi capable ang digibox unlike a Smart TV, PS3/PS4 and some 3D Bluray players.

Post by: dibidi on May 28, 2014 at 05:52 PM
We have Sky Cable Dual Def 499 and Sky Broadband 1.5 Mbps @Php 999. I think they no longer offer 1.5 Mbps. The minimum speed is 3 Mbps @Php 999 if you are an existing Sky cable subscriber. Lock-in period is 12 months instead of 24 months for new Sky broadband subscriber with existing Sky cable subscription.

If you didn't receive a mail in your digibox, try calling Sky. I think it will still be applicable to you. Natuwa lang ako since after agreeing on the T&Cs sa mySky account, the modem resetted by itself and when I ran speed test, yun na 2.95 Mbps yung result. All done via internet.

Not sure, I've read the T&Cs and I didn't see any capping. As far as I know, mine is unlimited. Sky has its own consumable plan with 15GB or 35GB cap at 10Mbps speed.



called up sky. they are increasing the dual def bill to P549 per month. asked about the upgrade of speed, sabi kailangan maka receive ng notification to upgrade it before it can be set to 3mbps.

Sky broadband is out of the question already. After months of servicing and promises and waiting for them to install, they eventually said they cant do it *&^#%$@. Unserviceable our area daw WHICH THEY SHOULD HAVE SAID IN THE FIRST PLACE SO THAT THEY DIDNT HAVE TO WASTE MY FRIGGIN' TIME.

Now, since Sky has installed already our TV, im thinking of changing it to Cignal if its better. The reason - hated their crappy service in re: broadband installation plus it was a major reason why I got Sky TV, Free broadband installation worth 2k if you get both TV and broadband.

So just wanted to check if Cignal has ok reception. Channel wise, 3 to 4 channel difference at the 600 below price point.

Cignal is A-OK as a product
it just matter on the "Dealer" who installs and service in your area. that is where it matters.

Cignal and any other DTH thru satellite should be install and forget service, albeit any electornics defect on the STB/digibox they provide.

Sky is OK on areas as well which has the new cables/fiber installed. not all area though are covered like in your case egzbuen.

Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: mattia on Jun 06, 2014 at 05:27 PM
Cignal uses satellite system.  Sky uses cable wiring.  Pareho lang naman quality especially HD ;D.  Mas madami lang ata channels ang Sky I think.  Pero mas mura ang package ng Cignal I guess.

Cignal is OK basta wag lang bumabagyo o umuulan ng malakas. Problema pag may bagyo o malakas na ulan nawawala ang signal.  Yun sa sister ko ganyan problema, pag may bagyo at malakas na hangin at ulan, no signal ang Cignal.  Yun Sky, since cable wiring mas stable sya sa bagyo at malakas na ulan.

Why is that when Sky introduces new channels and jacks up monthly fee all subscribers are affected?
for example, I signed up for a 499 then they added this and that and my monthly now is 780.
Consumers should be protected on the monthly subscription fee that they signed up.

Is that 780 a plan? Or 499 plan ka then added some channels? Did you get any notice of the price increase? If your monthly is 499 and added some channels and it become 780, to me its not sky's fault. Maybe you can ask them sa increase.  I agree consumers should be protected but to a certain degree. It depends on the terms and conditions.

Imo, I think one of the reason Sky cable prices are higher than cignal  is because they offer many channels compared to cignal. Expansion of sky is way better than Cignal. To me nga Cignal is on stagnant in terms of new channels. Sky just keep coming with their new channels. No offense of course sa Cignal subscribers.

Btw how many hd channels do Cignal have compared to Sky?

Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: pentium4 on Jun 10, 2014 at 02:54 PM
a bit OT

No I'm referring to a subscribed plan, regardless of what provider.
Sky increases monthly fee charges including old subscribers.
while with other provider like in case Cignal and our local cable operator, you remain in your monthly plan even if they add / remove/ replace channels. while their new subscribers have higher monthly fee (new) rate on the same channel line up that you also watch.

like I pay P590 plan before until now, while new subscribers now pay P740 of the same channels that we're subscribed.

we need consumers protection on this. it is highway robbery. If you availed of a particular plan, it should remain on that monthly fee up until I upgrade or add some features. But, basic plan should remain on what I subscribed from the start.

Sa advertisement on its site, I think you have to pay the 1999, its from june 1 to july 31, 2014

If I have 3 HDTVs and I want all of them to have digiboxes, how much magiging total monthly ko if I want to subscribe to Dual Def 549?

Post by: Pugpug on Jun 16, 2014 at 02:37 PM
I was a skycable subscriber for standard definition channels (Silver for P830/month) 2 weeks ago with 2 digibox installed. 1 extra tv  for P250 add'l per month for the digibox.  I upgraded to P549/mo Dual-Def subscription with mixed of standard channels and 12 HD.  They changed one of my standard digibox to HD digibox for a additional fee of P1,399.00.  Only one digibox was upgraded since this is the only unit attached to my HD/1080P Television.  I really appreciate their HD channels.  The clarity was really good as if we are watching HD movies from DVDs or HD downloaded movies, "malinaw talaga that you could even see the skin pores on the person's face". 

So my new monthly billing will be... P549 + P250 for the extension TV (standard def only).

^In our case, we have an SD digibox and I just use the RF out to connect the other TV.
It does the job if the goal is just to share the HD box without having to move devices around.
The next question would be how to change channels easily when viewing from the other TV.

IMO, the signal loss in the HDMI splitter/switcher is minimal and the possible signal degradation would happen in the HDMI cable if it's too long.

Hi need your help, i have a 5.1 dvd home theatre system, is there any way to produce the 5.1 sound of my home theatre when using it in my skycable digibox?
Is the skycable digibox capable of producing 5.1 or just stereo sound only?

New channel I found in DualDef 999,  HITS SD on Channel 137.

Quote
Philippines’ Sky Cable Corporation has added HITS pay-TV channel owned by Rewind Networks to its channels bouquet. HITS offers titles licensed from US studios. The channel will also be available on its mobile application and online catch-up services by Q4 2014.

We know that the Philippines has a strong affinity towards American television—especially mega-hits. We have carefully picked these blockbusters and programmed them in a manner that appeals to today’s audiences,” said Sandie Lee, VP and channel head at Rewind Networks.

Yup.  Previously received a namecard via snail mail, and weeks ago, an SMS from SKYSERVES providing the number of the assigned mySKY concierge.  Had problems with cable TV last weekend but in minutes, problems were fixed.  Response to phonecalls was also a breeze (main call center number was difficult to contact and are most of the time left unanswered). 

Good luck.

May signal problem kami since March. Garbled ang picture at putul-putol ang sound kapag umuulan. May naka-experience na ba sa inyo ng ganito?

April and May were no electricity months here in Davao, kaya di masyadong na-obserbahan ang issue. We decided to re-align our subscription in June kasi nagpadala ng letter ang Sky na magtataas na ang rates nila. So we went from Silver 780 + extra channels + extension to HD 999 para saktong 1000 na lang kada buwan. But the signal issues persisted.

Marami-rami na ring technician ang pumunta:
1st tech = substandard cable daw ang ginagamit namin; pinalitan ang cable
2nd = measured signal strength from the socket outside the house; nilagyan ng regulator device ang HD box
3rd = pinalitan ang regulator device ng HD box
4th = inakyat ang poste at may kinalikot
5th = ito ang service technician namin from years ago; baka sa main na raw ang problem; antay lang daw for maintenance routine nila

July has passed. Malapit nang matapos ang August. Our signal issue has worsened. Kahit cloudy lang, di umuulan... garbled na ang picture at sira ang sound. Last Sunday, August 17th was probably the worst. Sira ang signal namin from 2PM to 7AM the following morning.

Mukhang wala nang pag-asa to. Any suggestions? Should we switch to Cignal?

Pero kung 5 months na and i still have problems and have no cable i will switch. Cignal or sky man, 5 months is too much. Diba yun cignal din after this typhoon dami pa rin walang cable? Diba kulang din sila sa manpower? Well that's what i read on the other thread.

We've been with Skycable since 1998, if I remember correctly. It was carrying the name Davao Cableworld Network, Inc. back then. Now that name is just a small print on our billing statement. All those years, the same ang kable sa poste hanggang sa bahay. Nasa labas lang ng gate ang poste. I just realized that we've been with Sky for so long, so I'm having second thoughts regarding switching cable providers.

Nakakapanood pa naman kami kahit papaano. Parang scheduling nga lang, LOL. Sa ngayon, matino ang signal, HD o SD, from 8am - 2pm. A month ago, tuwing umuulan lang sira ang signal. Mostly around 8pm ang ulan nun. Tumitino naman after 2-4 hours. Ngayon malala na talaga. Mawala lang ang sunlight and the wind picking up beyond 2PM, sira na ang signal. Hanggang 7am na yan the following morning. If you could just imagine our situation now...

Hingi na lang siguro ako ng rebate next month.

Anyone doing irecord? I tried some recordings but can't seem to view them on the computer or convert to mkv. The recordings are in ts files but all my media players(vlc, mpc) can't view it. My converters also can't convert it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

apparently, this is only viewable via the HD box.  Haven't found anyone who has "cracked" this so far.  Naghahanap nga rin ako ng way to view via PC or mediaplayer.

Their SD package for Fox Sports 1 and 2 is now at 150. A bit high IMO.  :-X

Question ko po is, how much kaya initial cash out for this upgrade and how much ang monthly?

Hopefully someone went thru the same situation I'm on right now para swak ang info.  :)

Guys, catch TMC on Channel 80 under test broadcast. TMC stands for Tagalized Movie Channel.

https://www.facebook.com/TagalizedMovieChannel/

Channels 88 and 89 is currently showing the test broadcast of ABS-CBN's digital channels, namely CineMo and Yey. Hopefully, Sky will add these channels soon.

ABS-CBN HD's test broadcast was stopped for some reason.

CineMo and Yey's signal were fine on my end when all of the channels were unlocked.
Sky has plans of adding these channels on their line-up soon.

BTW, my latest count on SkyCable's channels for their Gold package, which can be inaccurate, came up with a total of approximately 102 SD Channels. That is only with their SD Gold Package. Damn, its quite a lot.

to be fair with sky, sa FOX naman talaga yung issue. i sent a message to FOX and they replied saying that soon it will be airing it live sa HD. two races na lang and wala pa din. this started happening around 3 races ago.

May problema ba Sky ngayon? suddenly wala signal...

actually biglang nawawala signal for a few mins then kailangan mo magreset ng digibox

I've been having that problem recently, especially on certain shows like Masterchef in hd. Nawawala tapos bumabalik. Then after a few minutes the whole box will hang, mawala na lahat. This happened few weeks ago. Tapos ngayon pati other channels na ganun, mawala na yun whole signal sa box and it will hang. However, when I tested my other box in my living room it is ok (yun sa masterchef). I'm wondering if its my hdmi cable, or it could be sky talaga because my bedroom setup has not yet been upgraded to their recent firmware when it was released a few months ago.

Do you all know how to do the firmware upgrade? When the upgrade first came out, when I turn the tv, it is there already asking if you want to upgrade, automatic siya. Na miss ko yun sa bedroom ko, so nawala yun pang upgrade. Anybody know how to do the firmware upgrade?


I will have to call sky if ever.

Our family subscribes to the Sky Cable Gold package...........yet I'm surprised na viewable ang mga locked channels sa amin. Star Chinese Movies to DMAX to NBA Premium SD at pati Nat Geo People.

Tapos yung buong channel lineup ng Destiny Cable (e.g. Fox Filipino, Pinoy Xtreme, CTI Taiwan, Formosa TV, etc.) ay available.

Permanent ba ito or just temporary/trial?

A bit of trivia. Although I created this thread I never subscribed to SkyCable HD outside 2010 FIFA World Cup PPV.

Ultimately cut of SkyCable SD by January 2014 and went with PLDT HOME Fibr Triple Play Cignal (what a mouthful).

How I wish I was more proactive and signed up for SkyCable HD in 2008 and move to Cignal this year.

To think we had HDTVs since 2006.

Pasensya na po ma at pa.

Just had Sky with HD installed. Just a couple of questions:

1.Getting random freezes while watching then it will be back after 10-20 secs, is it normal?
2.Can I still use my Samsung remote? The remote provided by Sky is quite chunky.
3.What is the latest digibox model?I was provided the black "HCBS" model.

Hindi ko na encounter yung random freezes sa unit ko.

Nope yung remote lang talaga nila ang pwede for their digibox.

Mas malinaw nga sya nung naka HDMI kahit SD content lang. Yung box Skyworth ang brand, mas malapad kesa sa lumang SD digibox. Yung remote nito yung tapyas ang ibabaw (diagonal edge). Ang napansin ko sa kanya parang online pa rin kahit naka standby mode kaya wala nang boot up time pag turn ON. Not sure lang kung malakas sa kuryente yung standby mode nya.

Choosing between sky dual def 999 + 350 nba premium + extension na 250 or cignal 1299+230 extension. Ang plus ng sky is reliability but sa cignal naman may pba hd na...yun nga lang pag umulan.

I was having the same issues with 1 of the digibox at home. Called the service and service man said the problem is related to the HD box which needs a firmware update done at the skycable office. They provided a replacement Coship HD box (color white and larger) and so far the problem has not been experienced.

Side story: For the longest time I was peeved that I needed two remotes. One for the TV, the other for the Digibox.  >:(

During the service call by the Skycable techs today, I learned they can replace the remote to a universal model for FREE! The Skycable remote can now turn-on/off the TV and also control the volume of the LG TV. Had all Digiboxes at home replaced for a generous tip  ^-^ It was a good day!

Pay another 1,300+++ for new subscription to skycable. Skycable won't install my line until the old line is cut.  In between, there will be a lead time so no cable for us. Mas malala pa sa red tape sa gobyerno. Wala silang smooth transition from destiny to sky eh same lang naman may ari. Grabe

He tested the connection and there was signal for 5 minutes then it got the E84 message. He called up the Skycable support and was told the connection was disconnected due to serial number mismatch. Then they registered the new serial number and the connection was activated.

You can, afaik. You can even bring your card to your friends house and use your card in his digibox, assuming you are both in dual def plan. When your friend is subscribed to 549 and yours is 1999. Yung plan mo and gagana sa box nya. And yung channels mo ang mapapanood nyo. Its very easy to take the card out of the digibox.

Hi Guys,

I just recently bought LG 49U850.  For some reason, the digibox stopped working.  Here are its behaviours:

1.) When HDMI cable is connected from the digibox to the TV and you turn the digibox on, it will just show the "Sky Cable" screen then it would go black.  The LED would be stuck to "1 _" display and it would not show "Good".

2.) When I disconnected the HDMI from the TV and turn the digibox on, I can hear the digibox is working since there is speaker connected from the digibox (audio out).  When I tried to plug in the HDMI cable back to the TV, a.) the screen will immediately freeze (this is what's happening 90% of the time) b.) it would work but when I tried to change channels or just wait for sometime, the screen would still freeze.

3.) When I connect it to an old tv (Ganzkhlar LCD), it would work again.

A technician went by this morning and tried a different digibox (same model) but same behaviors manifested.

Bro, I assume na try nyo nang palitan yung HDMI cable -- please try if that hasn't been done yet.

Another thing to try is to play around with the audio or video output sa digibox menu. Meron yata dun yung 1080i, 720p, 480p, etc.

Suggestion lang para magamit mo muna for the meantime habang hinihintay mo yung replacement. Kung may component output ang HD Box mo, gamitin mo muna. Pag gumana ibig sabihin may problema talaga ang HDMI terminal ng box mo. Then kung napalitan ng yung HD box mo at nag freeze pa din, paayos mo na yung terminal sa poste. Ako kasi since 2008 subscriber, pag check sa poste eh need na palitan yung terminal (di ko alam ang tawag don pero eto yung makikita mo sa dulo ng poste na maraming nakasaksak na cable) HTH

V1n5anity tanong ko lang ano plan mo? Start sa Plan 999 lang ata free hgtv

pangit nga plan ko, gusto ko babaan. I have SkyCable Gold (1,100); HD Power Pack (899) which includes HD channels from 164-176; 181; 193, 194 and yung Channel M na Korean tsaka lately lang yung free ch. 246. I'm also paying for CI HD na ch. 203 for P20 and 1 additional HD Box for P250 kaya monthly bill ko is P2157  :'( . tuwing ittry kong asikasuhin pagresearch ng mas mababang plan tinatamad ako kasi parang di complete ang information sa mismong website nila when it comes to channel lineups. Nasasayangan din ako sa plan ko which I've had for years na kasi di ko rin naman pinapanood ibang channels.

Tawag ka sa sky, hd box muna concern mo. Pag dating ng technician pa check mo rin yung poste kung saan naka connect yung cable mo. Baka need palitan yung naka saksak sa terminal

v1n5anity ang laki nga ng bill mo monthly. Kung years ka ng subscriber tapos na lock in period except kung less than 18 months pa lang ang extension mo under lock in ka pa. Tyaga lang pag tingin sa website. May plan 299, 549 at 999 may mga hd channels. Mag add k n lng ng channels then after a month pa alis mo pag ayaw mo na. Di ko lng alam kung anong plan ka pwedeng mag downgrade.

I finally did it! ;D This afternoon I downgraded to Dual Def 999. Never been more happier & I can't believe I didn't do this dati pa. Imagine ang savings ko sana kung dati ko pa ginawa. Galing ng plan na to because it has ALL the SD channels that we watch. Wala na kong dinagdag. HD lang dinagdag ko which was NBA Premium HD which is SOOOOO overpriced @ P350 at ala carte pa yun. I retained CI HD which is only P20 (ala carte). Nagulat ako may mga HD channels siyang kasama na hindi naka-indicate sa site ng Sky at sa sinabi ng agent like E! HD; Aquarium Channel HD tsaka hindi nawala ang ch 176 which is Fox Sports 3 HD na dapat daw di kasama at sabi pa ng agent na di rin available yun as ala carte & only part of their package (not that I watch it kasi mas ok pa ata yung Fox Sports 1 or 2).

Weird lang yung mas higher Dual Def plans kasi yun pa yung walang ANC & DZMM Teleradyo.

mag mirror talaga yon sir sa extension. for example, nag subscribe ka ng tcm for 20php, yun lang talaga ang babayaran niyo for both boxes miski apat pa na extra digibox. 20php pa rin dapat yon

Buti naman at masaya ka sa pag kaka downgrade ng plan mo. I agree sa NBA package na overpriced kaya kapag playoffs lang ako nag papakabit then after finals pinapa alis ko kaagad. By the way, kung gusto mo pa mag add ng additional box, and alam ko sa plan999 ang cost lang ng HD box eh P350 then 250 per month. Sumatotal mababa pa rin total bill mo compare sa dati. Pero gawin mo siguro after 2 months. Sa plan 549 kasi P1,300 and cost ng HD Box.

I noticed that the SkyCable HD Digibox with HCBS logo/text in the lower front right not only has a USB port (used to record videos to a USB drive) but also an Ethernet port at the back. Does anybody in here know what the Ethernet port is used for (assuming I connect an Ethernet cable with Internet into said port)?

2. Does anyone know how much will I pay for an additional hd digibox? I'm currently on SD 499 with 1 tv extension

Thank you in advance!

yup nag peplay sya.. na try ko na galing sa flash drive na dinownload ko na mga hd movies, ang di ko lang mapagana is.. ung subtitle, nag DL kasi ako ng korean movies sa laptop may subtitle pero sa pag sa tv di lumalabas.. pano ko kaya mapapagana yung subtitle? wala namang .srt file na kasama yung movie.

Should be okay for that purpose
but, the bar will be closed during that day and there will be no signages saying there is a PPV happening.
the fact of offering a brunch with P1,000 charge signifies a commercial purpose.
unless you let them see it for free and just for your batch friends and families.

meron pa rin mga freeview channels although nabawasan na siya. Nauna mga malayong SD channels na originally from Destiny Cable pati yung Pay Per View. Tapos just a few mins or maybe a couple of hours ago nawala na din ASN HD. Channel 243 mukhang eto ang digital feed ng ABS CBN. Mas malinaw siya compared sa ch 8 pero yung screen niya is still stretched. Ito rin kasi ata yung pang ABS-CBN TV Plus na digital din pero not HD.

My Pasig-issued HD box even works when I tried it in Bacoor -- as long as there's a Sky kable available.
I think what matters to them is that the smartcard stays in the same digibox.

Kakagaling ko lang sa Baguio and yung Fox Sports SD sa kanila dun ay Fox Sports HD feed but shown on SD. Any idea kung mangyayari nga ang Fox Sports HD? Kasi yung Fox Sports 3 HD ay hindi naman ganun kaganda ang mga palabas.

EDIT: Fox Sports SD here in Manila is also showing the HD feed.

best deal woud be their dual def. plans. choose which one best fits your needs. For me no comparison. Sky offers exclusive ABS channels like ANC, MYX, Teleradyo, CinemaOne etc. and more HD channels too. Sa Cignal pag umulan or magalaw ang satellite, malabo na daw. Tsaka kung OC ka, nakakabother din yung logo ng Cignal on every channel.

bros nagawa ko na din before tanggalin yung isolator but same issue pa din. sa extension box ko CNN HD madalas pixelated or no display at all and minsan ibang HD channels naman. What's weird is my main hd cable box downstairs doesn't have any problem at all.

sabi ko sa kanila palitan na hd box pero walang ginagawa.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: blackcyborg009 on Jun 17, 2015 at 06:10 PM
If I may chime in, siguro baka yan ang tendency pag extension box ang gamit. Since ang main boc ang source sometimes nawawala yung signal pag dating sa extension unit.

Our case is similar siguro to yours. Yung extension box hindi maka-receive ng channels mula 35 to 51. PatI Fox Action Movies, chop chop ang picture at sound. Yet sa main box, wala naman problema. Hassle nga.

Anyways, iniisip namin kung kelangan ng line tuning or kung bibili kami ng Signal Booster or Amplifier

Nagimprove yung signal sa amin nung ginamitan ko ng signal booster.  There are times na nagiging choppy, pero may improvement kumpara sa wala.   Pero yung CNNHD wala talagang lumalabas, maski may signal booster na.

Ours is SD but the digibox was replaced with an HD one. The new box doesn't have signal and quality information anymore. Another issue with the new digibox is the absence of the mute button on the remote.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: blackcyborg009 on Jun 25, 2015 at 10:38 PM
In our case, naayos uli yung box once napansin ng Maintenance and Repair team na may unused cable line (ung dating ZPDEE Internet ng Sky). It was attracting signal noise and moisture daw.

Once na-close yung line na yun, signal quality has improved dramatically at nawala na ang chop-chop....

What exactly do you mean by cable extensions?  If you mean multiple tv sets connected to the same cable box, then you will see the SAME program in both (or all connected) tv sets.  Will signal deteriorate? That's largely dependent on distance and quality of the cable you will use.

However, if you want all cable channels in all of your four tv sets, then you will need four cable boxes.  If you do not want cable for all, I suggest you get digital tv boxes (ie. mahiwagang black box) for those that do not need cable channels.

I was told by my Skycable agent that 254/255 will be offered a la carte at Php 100 per channel per month, after the promo period.

I hope they will include them in the 999 package and up. If not, oh well, i'm still getting them. These two channels are too important for a sports fanatic like me. It has high def baseball, f1, grand slam tennis and billiards to name a few.

This doesn't get you all the HD channels, particularly the new ones.  I know since I'm subscribed to this.  I get only 40 HD channels I think (channel 164 to 3 or 4 channels above 200).

it is because sky have a promo for their 25th anniversary and they are giving us the extra hd channels Right now. Now if you still have these channels for the next couple of weeks then it is possible they upgraded your 1999 package and added a few more hd channels. But based on sir lithium's sky agent those fox sport hd channels will be available thru ala carte. We just have to wait and see. For now,  i will just wait until their free promo is finished and see if they added any hd channels on my 999 package.  i will decide from there for any upgrade.

Tapos na mga free channels for the lower subscribers like the dual 999. I think they added the fox sports hd 1 and 2 into our existing plans. Cool If they did.  Sana nga they dont make these channels a la carte.

Whatever hd channels you get now that are not listed in your plan, it is possible they added it to our plans. So that will be good news imo. Crossing fingers hehe

For all channels i think it would be 1999 with 40 hd channels ata. Those channels are listed in their website. The fox sports hd are not listed there sa package so alacarte lang nga ata.

I think sky knows that mas meron demand ang sports channels so they will milk you here. And to add the competitors dont offer these channels afaik. So meron premium. Imo, Movie channels actually are not in demand because of downloads.

Hi Sir James,

Greetings.

Since your lock in with the previous plan is already finished, there will be no more lock in period anymore.

May we know if you would like to proceed with the downgrade?

Feel free to email us at [email protected]

Thank you and regards,

Today, a certain Mr. Luigi Esguerra called me up from the same group to process my request, but I declined the offer because of his contradictory statement. He insisted on my being locked in again for 36 months. I argued with him, but he remained firm with his statement. These guys are deceiving their subscribers. It is a good thing that I have a copy of my email conversation with them. I shall scatter them all around the internet and post it on my own blog for not acting properly and accurately on my request.

Down ang Sky Cable sa Makati (baka dahil sa malakas na hangin at ulan kanina)

That said, I think one advantage ng Satellite TV or a wireless TV service is that it is not subject to fixed base infrastructure. Pag cable or wire connection, the moment na may natumba na poste or pole, marami madadamay.....whereas sa Satellite TV (e.g. Cignal Satellite, Dream, G-Sat, etc.), all you need is Satellite Dish, Orbiting Satellite and earth station.

So yun pros and cons lang naman....

Ok thats good. Thanks for letting us sky subscribers know.
Parang sobrang insecure ito mga satellite subscirbers. Do you see sky subscribers going to your cignal thread saying na nawalaan kayo ng cable after a typhoon? Tsk tsk tsk. Anyway

Yes we are enjoying our massive selection of hd channels. Hindi ba kaya ng satellite na sobrang dami channels? Lol..yun lang naman.

Hehe well it can go either way. As I've said there are pros and cons with either technology or service provider. =)

Skycable
Pros:
-Most number of channels in the country (SD and HD)
-Latest Digibox can support up to 1080p (upconvert?)

Cons:
-Pricing and tier packaging is inconsistent (lalo na when you're deciding to get a Select Pack or Select Ala-CAla-Carte channel)
-Still uncertain on whether they will integrate the Destiny Cable channel lineup (although this happened before by accident)

Cignal
Pros:
-One channel lineup for the whole Philippines
-Pricing scales relative with number of channels

Cons:
-Placement of Cignal watermark logo is annoying and a nuisance on some channels (e.g. Animax)
-Some HD channels were removed and replaced with others (like History HD Asia or Syfy being replaced with Disney XD)

So yun lang naman. Just a few pros and cons lang naman of each =)

P.S.
Down pa rin ang Sky Cable sa amin sa Makati. I missed Free Practice ng Formula 1 on Fox Sports 2. Oh well :(

Only chance is to head to Resorts World and hopefully sana gumagana ang Destiny Cable nila dun.

1,699 + 800 is almost 2,500/month.  Dapat pala nag Fiber nalang ako 3,500/month na 20mbps with TV. too late.

No bro -- video streaming na to via broadband bale yung broadcast ng Cignal, pinadadaan nila sa broadband modem mo.
Nag demo sila nito sa Megamall nung last week of August. Malinaw naman yung HD pero sa tingin ko di sya kasinglinaw ng satellite broadcast ng Cignal.

BTT: Malayo ang difference ng HD tsaka SD ng Sky/Destiny. Observed this myself pero 32" 1080p lang yung TV ko. Sobrang layo talaga ng quality. Naka-Destiny kasi ako ngayon, pinalitan nila ng digibox last year pa. Tapos earlier this year naman pinalitan ulit ng HD digibox pero SD pa rin yung subscription ko sa Destiny. Natest ko lang yung HD nung July nag unlock si Sky lahat ng channels kaya natest ko. Night and Day ang difference for me. Kahit yung Aquarium HD channel na-amaze ako. Yun nga lang bye bye splitter na kaya yung extra TV nilagyan ko na lang ng TV Plus pang local channels na lang.

1) mali pala ako (akala ko Satellite-Dish) salamat at naintindihan ko rin
2) kung Night-and-Day ang Quality ng SD vs HD ay maganda yun kasi it's true as advertised.
gumagamit din ako ng HDTV-Plus (RCA brand) at maganda ang signal-quality kahit SD lang kaya mataas expectation ko sa HD.

mag Dual-Def 549 na talaga ako,  then kung satisfied sa quality mag additional DigiBox ako or even upgrade my subscription - SALAMAT sa mga info sharing nyo!

Quick Question para sa mga SkyCable SD/HD subscribers:

1) kumusta ang kanilang "after sales" sevice?  baka magaling lang sila pag installation kasi ang dami mong babayaran,  pagkatapos pag meron kang prublema ang tagal ng responde???

2) madali lang ba magpa "Add-ON" ng channel/s? (as advertised tatawag ka lang) at meron bang lock-in period kung sakali gusto mong unsubscribe sa Add-ON??? pro-rated ba ang babayaran mo (kung 1/2 month lang yung Add-On 1/2 lang din ba ang singil) or round-off na ang fee for 1-Month

I can only speak for my area (Bangkal, Makati) pero malamang unti-unti na itong transition from Analog to Digital.  Ito lang kasi ang solusyon sa "Kabit" as in yung buong barangay ehh isang legitimate subscriber lang tapos "Kabit"/Splitter na yung mga kapitbahay.
Naka-receive ako ng letter na nagsasabing until Sept nalang ang kanilang Analog signal dito sa area ko pero LIBRE naman daw ang installation ng DigiBox sa mga current subscribers. kaya lang syempre yung aditional TVs ko sa bedrooms ehh merong install-fee at P250 ang monthy Fee. (naka splitter lang yung additional 2-TVs ko)

1. Not sure if it is area-related/dependent pero sa amin (southern metro manila) good after sales/customer service. kapag may problem they try to fix it remotely (over the phone). Kung hindi kaya, usually the next day masschedule ka na nila agad. Though bihira talaga magkaproblem so this really isn't an issue. I also get their bills in the mail all the time. Unlike some other bills like Globe, PLDT which suddenly stopped coming (?).

2. Yes, para ka lang nagorder ng food over the phone. When you request for a channel, they'll place you on hold while they activate it for you. 1 month lang ang lock-in ng ala-carte channels. Although there are channels that are part of a package na di pwede ng ala-carte (ex. HBO Family, HBO Signature etc)

Mukhang ito na nga ang direksyon nila.
Sa Maybunga Pasig area nung 2013 pa sila nag convert.
Pati Mandaluyong Pioneer area digital na rin ang Destiny.

Pag naka digibox na kayo, mapapansin nyo na parang isang plan na lang ng Sky ang Destiny. Makikita yung channel list ng Sky channels program schedule makikita pero locked lang yung channel.

Nga pala yung favorite channel ko 115 DMAX tinanggal na nila sa Destiny mga June pa, kainis. Ewan ko lang sa analog kung meron pa.

My old digibox could not transmit any signal to the TV thru HDMI but has still power and channel selection is operational since we can see the display changing while browsing. Skycable just replaced it rather than repairing it.

Channel selection has no noticeable lag, but it was also ok on the old box.

mas slim pala cya compared to abs black box. I like this one a lot... Its a space saver

This is a milestone for ABS-CBN - the other leading local TV company (GMA and TV5) must follow this direction.
OT: if ABS-CBN will start brodcasting in HD,  they will have to upgrade/equipt  their "mahiwagang box" HDMI port.

Youre right. That is weird. It doesnt work that way with cignal.

A alam ko na...
Baka gusto lang ni sky na i-add mo yung channel via the sky select feature.
Tsk tsk... Napaka sugapa naman pag ganon.
Top of the line plan tapos kulang ang channel. Ano kaya yun?!

Yup that is a problem with sky. I hope they give in to the public more. I think it is because they are superior in terms of what they offer. Not much competition. So they try to milk every peso out of us.
 Just look at the exclusive sports hd channels they offer and its contents.

Asn
Balls hd
Fox sports 1
Fox sports 2

Nfl, hockey, ufc, formula one, mlb baseball, tennis, college football and basketball, uaap basketball etc. I mean these are awesome stuff. Sports lang yan, eh yun iba pa. Kaya they feel so superior and can remove some channels they know we will pay for it for the contents. Kahit ganun na mas expensive siya, i feel they are very worth it especially with what they offer.

that's the problem with SkyCable - they (almost) have the monopoly and don't have much of competition
- back in the 90s I was a HOME Cable subscriber, then Global TV in the 2000s and Destiny pero lahat ito ngayon UNDER SkyCable na.
- other competition is Cignal and PLDT but the upperhand belongs to SkyCable.
kaya ganyan sila ka-gahaman,  we don't have much of a choice

^Didn't have this issue since they launched last weekend.
Though I really hate that their source is a mixture of 4:3 and 16:9. Some are 16:9 but not full screen.
The only full screen HD source so far are teleseryes. Even TV patrol is 4:3.
Hopefully they get past this transition period asap so we stop worrying about burn-ins.

Even of they did, and if i were in to it, id rather get my fix through torrent or streaming. Not safe to have around the house. LOL!

Anyway, just to share a different story; I upgraded my original Plan dual def 549 to dual def 999 and added several channels via the Sky Select program. with all the additional channels ive added, im now enjoying a wider and better channel lineup than my Cignal plan 1590 (actually 1690 coz of the plus 100 thing). I now have more SD and HD channels. Will call them tomorrow to request for and additional digibox for my bedroom.

So my monthly for Sky will come up to P1660. A little less than what im paying with cignal, and with a way better channel line up now.

I called Cignal to cancel my account with them. I really should have done his a long time ago.

Currently subscribed sa GOLD 1100 (with Sky Cable Skyworth STB C7600R - Standard Definition).........pero I'm thinking of upgrading one box into HD I-record (sabi daw 399 Pesos per box one-time fee including installation).

Sabi daw kaya nila within 3-5 days so tamang-tama before matapos yung Free Channel Promotion on October 18th, Sunday.

Also
I'm studying the idea of changing from GOLD 1100 -> DUAL DEF 999

I still have to check kung anong channels ang mawawala sa amin if ever magswitch kami mula GOLD 1100 to DUAL DEF 999

Thankfully some channels that will be lost can be brought back again via SELECT:
-Animax SD - PHP50/month
-Cinemax HD - PHP75/month (walang Cinemax SD sa select so this is the only way Cinemax can be brought back afaik)
-Nat Geo Wild SD and/or HD (SD feed features Tagalog voice narration - costs PHP20/month ; HD feed features 100% English voice narration PERO available lang ata sya via FOX PACK or HD40 Pack)
-Screen RED by HBO SD - PHP 50/month
-Discovery Channel SD - PHP 50/month
-Animal Planet SD - PHP 50/month
-Channel V SD - PHP 20/month
-KBS World - only available via a Korean Pack
-Arirang - only available via a Korean Pack
-Channel News Asia - PHP 20/month
-CNBC - PHP 100/month
-Fox News - PHP20/month
-Discovery Kids SD - PHP50/month

Ang dami rin mawawala huhu  :-\ :'(

Depended po sa request nyo(extra Digibox/TV),  you can either request for SD or HD box with 1-time installment fee (SD install fee = 350php VS HD install fee = 1,299php) pero yung monthly fee pareho lang 250php.
- The choice is yours,  if you have an extra HDTV then it would be practical to request for the HDbox to enjoy HD quality picture. (pero kung hindi HD ready yung TV like the old CRT TV then the SD box will do)

BTW: prices may change,  inquire po kayo via hotline baka meron silang ongoing Discount/Promo

oo nga no.. kasi when I switch to USB/TV, di ko na rin nagagawang i-off.. dapat may dedicated button for HD box lng..

Yung current HD box namin parang standby button lang yung power switch nya. Pag pinatay mo yung switch, mawawala lang yung display sa TV tsaka mapapalitan ng time yung display sa front LCD nya. Pero alam mo na online pa talaga yung unit kasi warm pa rin kahit di ginagamit tsaka instant ang display channel pagpindot ulit ng switch. Unlike pag binunot talaga sa saksakan mga 1 minute and boot up time kasi mag check pa ng smartcard etc. Kaya sinaksak ko na rin sa AVR ng TV, kaso madalas nakakalimutang patayin sa gabi hehe

Matagal bang kabitan ng sky cable? Parang may nabasa ako na pag kausap mo yung agent sa olx ba yun or somewhere, mas mabilis nila mapapa kabit yung line.

Balak ko kasi magpakabit sa BF, Paranaque area. Dual Def 999.

Anyone knows a sky agent that can assist me (fast installation)?

Also, kelangan ba talagang lagyan ng lightning arrester or hindi naman? I've read kasi that it degrades the picture quality. TY

Paranaque area ka rin pala.

Thanks pre, nakabitan na kami. Dual 999. =)

Anyway, is there a way na bilisan yung pag appear ng video when you change channels sa digibox? Sobrang bagal kasi lalo na pag HD channels. It takes around 2 seconds+ for the picture to appear.

FYI, im using the new digibox without a card reader (the small one). I just had my sky cable installed yesterday so i believe eto yung pinaka bagong digibox.

then use up and down buttons na lng. only the channels selected will appear.
others will be skipped.

2) ano ang Advantage pag sa "Agent" ka nag avail ng service??? (pwede naman tumawag nalang sa Hotline ng SkyCable,  sigurado pang Legit)
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Kier on Oct 24, 2015 at 09:20 PM
Sa hotline lang din ako nag apply, ako namili ng araw na pupunta sila. 3 days after ako mag-apply. Dumating naman after 3 days and activated na before they leave. Ok naman, walang naging problem up to now, almost 2 years na.

Post by: habibs on Oct 24, 2015 at 09:44 PM
Agent means subcon or authorized ng skycable. Nag inquire ako kahapon thru customer service pero next week pa daw ako pwede mapuntahan. Nag try ako thru agent na recommend ni xghost kanina umaga at nainstall at na activate agad before lunch. Very well satisfied sa service at may receipt naman na binigay.

I use 1080i. Sky Cable recommends 1080i > 720p daw

That said, I tried comparing the two settings on Fox Movies Premium. I didn't notice a difference........or baka mahina lang mata ko haha xD

Meron na ata setting sa 1080p sa box. Your tv should be 1080p. I recently set my box to 1080p. Accepted it naman. I have to double check

You must have the latest Verimatrix set-top box (e.g. Sky Cable calls it a 'hybrid' box......kasi pwede may Irdeto Smart Card or pwede wala). I think those newer boxes allow for 1080p

Kasama na ang NBA Premium sa Dual Def 999. Kaya bumaba ang bill namin. Nagulat ako I have Fox Sports HD when I only subscribed to Fox Sports 2 HD ala carte for the MLB Postseason. Sabi ko nga 1 month lang since I don't watch those channels and binablack out nila kung UFC (because of Balls?).

Anong feed ang gamit ng Sky Cable for Fox Sports 1 HD?

HD Simulcast ba ito ng Channel 31? (Fox Sports SD Philippines)

P.S.
On another note:
What kind of a channel name is "BALLS"? Nakakaidiot talaga ang ABS-CBN/Lopez at times. Pati channel name palpak. Kabobohan amf

Oh and imho, sana ma-expire ang contract ng ABS-CBN for UFC..........para UFC can be aired on Fox Sports Asia (Philippines).

- PI na service yan! bukas na ang scheduled install ehh ngayon lang sila nag request?!?! at hindi ko pa malalaman kung hindi ako tumawag (diba sila ang dapat tumawag sa akin to inform/advise their customer?!?)

Sorry about your experience.

But to be fair, Skycable had been exceptional in my location in taguig.

They kept appointments and went back everytime i requested additional service. They assign a specific concierge per customer; mine went of his way to help even if it was a weekend.

Remember that the installation are subcontracted. Malas ka seguro sa location mo.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: blackcyborg009 on Nov 04, 2015 at 12:11 AM
Yup yun nga lang.

The installation teams kasi are subcontracted. The team that handled ours was Transmission Specialists Inc. (near Starmall Mandaluyong). Okay naman..........although wala pa sila stock ng Verimatrix STB.

In our case, it took three tries sa amin:
1st try - di gumagana yung GPS satnav sa service vehicle nila kaya di nahanap ung location namin
2nd try - naubusan ng box for that day
3rd try - they came noong morning pero wala kami sa bahay. They promised na babalik sila pero they got stuck sa CEMBO Makati.

Regarding HD box, napansin ko na nagkaroon na rin ng 1080p option sa settings. Ito yung Skyworth HD box na 1080i lang ang maximum dati.

I have the same model and I've used the digital audio. Beware though, the output is only 2 channel, Sky does not have 5.1 as of now regardless of how you configure your box.

The digital audio out is located at the rear of the box - it's called SPDIF.

You can also refer to your manual - the diagram of the rear panel is on page 10. The SPDIF is item 9.

I need help. I recently had sky hd digibox installed. Unfortunately, my plasma tv has one hdmi port only and i have two more hd devices. So, i bought an hdmi switcher. The switcher works with the other hd devices. The switcher will work with the digibox if the other hd devices are on. Any idea why it's not working properly?

Sky on demand newbie questions, thanks.

Bro, I inquired with Sky about this -- well, the 1599 plan with 8Mbps + Sky on Demand. This is akin to PLDT Fibr with modem that streams Cignal channels to the TV.
With this, instead of a digibox, you will be given the Sky On Demand box, which is a modem that will stream your cable channels. Plan 1599 includes the Dual Def 299, which has 41 channels (5 are HD) -- I'm not sure about the higher plans like the 50Mbps one.
Aside from this, you will get a Sky On Demand account that you can use to login to their Android/IOS app. With the app, you get access to movies and other contents on the portal plus all the cable channels available to you plan as well. In effect, you get a free extension but limited to one device at a time only (excluding the TV). To be clear, you get to watch cable on your TV via Sky on Demand modem and another family member can stream another channel via the app on a separate gadget -- you can even stream channels on the go if you have a reliable to mobile connection. I think this is a good deal from Sky.

What is not clear to me is the bandwidth used by the modem to stream the channels to the TV. I think it shares the same Internet bandwidth allocation. In this case, it will compete with the household internet traffic and the effect will be felt especially when watching HD channel on TV. But for 50Mbps, there should be more than enough headroom to worry about this.

What puzzles me also is the fact that they have a 2Mbps plan that inclues the Dual Def 299 plan as well. I'm not sure how much bandwidth is needed to stream a HD channel but 2Mbps seems to be too low for this, which makes one think the Sky on Demand box uses a different bandwidth allocation dedicated for streaming on TV. I think this is a possibility since the household can't watch Youtube and Nat Geo HD at the same time on the same 2Mbps line.

Actual users, please share your experience.

back to Skycable HD:

1) so far I'm satisfied with DualDef 549 and was pleasantly surprised with several HD-Channels included but are not on the website's channel listings, I'm not sure if those HD Channels are permanent and that the website is just NOT updated (there are more than a dozen extra HD channels, documentary, movie and entertainment)

2) I have the Skyworth DigitalBox:
- with 1080i and 1080p setting
- it has a small footprint (4" x 6.5")
- I just configured the TVBox to skip the channels that are not accessible (not subscribed to) making channel browsing more fun.

3) I kinda like the remote control :-) it's easy on the hand compared to my bulky RC plus it does basic function for my Samsung TV
- it can turn my TV's power On/Off
- it can turn the Volume Up/Down

HELP NEEDED:
4) I have not tried iRecord yet - any TIPS would be appreciated
- I would like to record to a USB/external drive via the USB port included

5) I can't access the advertised 25th Anniversary "Auto Activated" International channels for Nov12 to Nov28. 
- Do I NEED to re-Scan my DigiBox???

@pao9307 - Thanks,  ganun lang pala kadali mag iRecord sa USB, I just have to try it

@desertfox615 - kung 50” ang TV mo kelangan mo mag DualDef - you will surely appreciate and enjoy the HD experience kasi ibang-iba ang picture quality at
tama si larokulit,  yung SD signal sa 32” lumaki lang sa 50” TV
I have a 32" and a 46" Full HD TV,  mas masarap talaga manuod ng HD the bigger the better kaya kung manalo ako sa sakla mamaya :-)  I would get a 50-55" LED TV kasi yun lang ang kasya sa room ko.

SALAMAT sa inyo mga Bro!

EDIT: btw,  it's not all about the size of the display/TV because the resolution matters
a Full-HD (1920 x 1080p) is better than an HD-Ready (1366 x 768 or just plain 720p) kaya ingat sa pag-upgrade dahil merong mga very affordable brands na up to 40++ inches pero its not even true 1080p. UpScale lang pero kung hindi nyo naman makita/mahalata ehh there's nothing wrong :-)

@Dgame12345 - I have a 46" Full-HD/1080p TV, yung viewing distance ko is about 3.3-Meters, if you will search the internet merong recommended viewing distance depende sa TV size.  pero depende pa rin naman sa iyo yun kung san ka comfortable at masasanay ka rin naman. If you have a Full-HD/1080p capable TV the better kasi mas maganda ang picture rendition, mas kita ang details.

@Kier - tama ka Sir, 1080i lang yung signal ng SkyCable HD kasi yun ang default configuration. pero yung DigiBox ko it can be setup to 1080p pero wala naman akong nakitang pagkakaiba kaya hinayaan ko nalang sa 1080p (hindi ko na ibinalik sa 1080i)
Kung hindi mo naman makita ang pagkakaiba ng 1080 at 720 ay OK lang, pero iba kasi ang viewing experience ko ehh.

@bartender - tama ka Bro! iba talaga ang HD content lalu na kung capable yung display mo

@Kier - yung program ng Balls-SD at Balls-HD magkaiba kaya napapadpad rin ako sa SD,  pero ngayong UAAP sa Balls-HD no-interruption kahit timeout

I just want to share my experience: (yours might be different anyways)
I also have a 32" TV for the bedrooms:  one is Full-HD/1080 at yung isa HD-Ready/720 pero mas maganda ang viewing experience ko duon sa Full-HD/1080p TV with the same viewing distance watching HD content,  kung SD content naman halos pareho lang.

I have a 51" 720p plasma ang a 50" 1080p LED, mas maganda TV viewing experience ko sa 51", cguro dahil magkaiba sila ng panel technology. Napansin ko lang din na parang mas inferior yung bagong box na issue nila ngayon, yung unang box ko, mas malaki pero may 1080p na din sa settings kapag yun ang ginagamit ko sa FHD ko na tv, nag-improve PQ, observation ko kaya mas gusto ko viewing experience sa 51" dahil mas maganda yung digibox na gamit ko dun.

Yung provided ba na HDMI cable ang gamit nyo or nag upgrade kayo sa better quality cable? Sa mga nag palit ng HDMI cable, malaki ba improvement?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: larokulit on Nov 27, 2015 at 11:04 AM
^Bro yung free HDMI cable lang ang gamit ko kasi di ako believer ng high-end digital cables. Unlike analog na pwedeng mag vary yung signal based sa conductivity ng wire, pag digital kasi 0 or 1 lang ang signal. Pag nag send ng 01011010 si digibox, dapat yan din mismo ang mareceive ng TV. So for me basta ok ang communication ng digibox at TV, wala nang igaganda ito. On the other hand, pag masyadong mahaba or may problem ang HDMI cable, pwede ma drop yung ibang digital signal and magiging cause ito ng dropped frames o kaya total loss of communication between digibox and TV. In short, pag digital, all or nothing ang signal so either 100% quality or 0% or disconnected. This is my belief until proven wrong.

1) Select from the "PMODE" (Picture Mode) settings available
- Dynamic, Standard, Movie etc
2) Adjust the "Backlight" and the ff: contrast, brightness, sharpness etc
NOTE: pwedeng iba-iba ang settings for every Picture-Mode,  just choose what you want depende sa quality ng source,  or time of day.  Bawat "source"/input (HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, AV1, AV2, Component1, Component2, etc) pwede mong i-setup individually/differently

Anyways, napansin nyo ba na may pending sila na channel slots? If you check ung Digibox nyo umaabot sya ng Channel 261.....which means Sky may be testing some  channel slots for future use.

In any case, nag-announce ang Sony Pictures Entertainment na Animax Asia HD will launch operations this coming December 17th.

First operator daw might be Singtel TV of Singapore. That said, feel ko since Sky Cable ang first and only local provider ng AXN HD, I hope na mag-launch sila ng Animax HD soonafter. =)

As someone who watches anime on TV, I would love to see Animax HD =)

Depends on what "box" you want (SD or HD)
I paid Php1299 on my 1st additional HD box upon installation (since I'm a new subscriber, they charged me 1299)
After a week, I requested for additional HD boxes and they billed me only Php799 each (799 nalang daw dahil current subscriber na ako.

Sa initial installation it depend sa plan applied and sa type of hd box, sa P1,999 installation fee ko dati may kasama pa na signal filter, ngayong mas mura installation fee wala ng filter and mas maliit na yung box, baka mas cheaper brand.

Na confirm ko naman na yung P799 and P 399 for addl. box has the same 18 mos. lock-in. Nabago lang talaga ang rate, and umabot lang ako sa P399.

baka naman the type of subscription affects how they charge for the additional HD-box??? also the lock-in period???

hmm depende siguro sa plan kasi nung nagtanong kami 250 lang daw baka dahil yung ininstall eh 299 dual def lang which is package with the 50mpbs plan....pero muntik na rin kami masingil ng mas malaki kasi sabi nung nakausap namin sa phone for new installation daw 5399 daw initial payment pero nung naginquire uli kami kasi sa site naman eh ang nakalagay eh 4498 lang and this rate was confirm by other customer with newly installed plan after a few discussion 4498 na lang pinabayad sa amin.

It's always best to clarify just to be sure.

Sa amin, we were under Sky Cable GOLD 1100 back then and we wanted to change to DUAL DEF 999. We had one main STB plus an extension STB.

I called Sky Customer Service (381-0000) and sabi nila na box upgrade from SD to HD STB costs 800 per box. 800 x 2 = 1,600 pesos

Medyo nabigla ako when I was initially told by Transmission Specialists Inc. (isa sa mga outsourced contract repair team ng Sky) na the total was 3,200. I asked them again just to make sure and yun.

Thankfully, 1,600 lang sya as stated by customer service.

Now I'm happy that I can enjoy Fox Movies Premium HD instead of yung patapon at basura na Star Movies Philippines (which sunk to rock bottom when FIC Philippines localized the feed too much)

Just a question. :)

Factor ba yung cable signal processing tech (dunno the official term for this) ng TV brands in getting a better PQ ng mga cable channels (lalo na yung sa SD cable channels on an LED TV)?

I mean is it quite true that watching cable on a Sony/Samsung/Toshiba is better than doing this on a KTC/Skyworth/MyView? Wala daw kasing cable signal processing tech sila compared to the more known brands. Supposedly.

Sorry for the noob question. Please be kind. LOL
Title: SkyCable HD
Post by: Kier on Dec 07, 2015 at 09:11 AM
Maybe this signal processing tech is applicable sa Analog cable since dadaan ito sa analog tuner ng tv, but with digital cable either in sd or hd sa hdmi/composite naka-kabit, wala nang cable signal processing na dadaan yun sa tv. Unfortunately, pa-phase out na rin ang analog cable. Ang signal processing nasa cable digibox na.

Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: requiem on Dec 09, 2015 at 07:53 PM
Thanks for the replies Kier and xgh0st12x.

Oh I see. So I guess the new Skyworth digibox by Sky is to blame. I find the colors a little washed out and some SD channels look so bad.

Then again, I don't have issues with the PQ of the HD channels (ABS-CBN HD, Disney HD, etc.). Talo lang kasi puro SD pa rin talaga mga channels and it's awful on LEDs (I have a Tosh and a KTC) with the new Skyworth digibox.

Is it not the same with the older, bigger digiboxes they used to install?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Schnauzer on Dec 10, 2015 at 04:42 PM
yung additional 2x STB ko hindi nilagyan ng SPECTRUM Isolator nung Technician,  I asked bakit wala pwede naman daw (pero I know it's for "isolation/protection" so I googled what it is for and I got this

"The Cable Isolator blocks DC and low frequencies while allowing RF signals 5 – 1000 Mhz.  Used in most major cable tv CATV systems to protect against electrical surges and shock hazards. Passes 5MHz. – 1GHz.

Question:
1) yun mga STB/DigiBox nyo meron ba lahat???
2) may effect ba yun sa TV?
3) should I demand for it?
isip ko kasi kung masira man yung STB ehh they will replace it for free naman.

Post by: Kier on Dec 10, 2015 at 05:50 PM
If you have 2 or more digibox, may splitter ka na, those splitters also serve as an spectrum isolator filter, check mo sir yung splitter mo, may 5mhz-1000mhz naka print.

Pag more than 2 Digibox ang naka-install per connection, kelangan ba sya lagyan ng Amplifier/Signal Booster?

ahh OK, I got it ;) Salamat hindi naman kasi pinaliwanag sa akin nung Technician nung nagtanong ako,  basta sabi ehh pwede na.  They should know better and must be able to explain it to the customer dahil sila ang "expert".

> I have a total of 4x DigiBox pero walang "signal-booster" at tinanong ko rin sa Tech during install kung kelangan kasi worried ako baka magkaruon ng Signal loss.
> No need daw kasi wla naman "noticeable" signal loss, (OO nga, hindi naman na-degrade yung PQ ng TVs ko)

Nope bro. Skycable Dual Def 999 here.

Anyways, Fox Sports Asia already has broadcast rights for UFC here in the Asian region. This gives FIC HK/Singapore the chance to have broadcast rights for UFC in our Philippine territory.

I'd rather have FIC Asia air UFC rather than ABS-CBN (and their CPI division). CPI is good for channel distribution BUT they are not good at airing their own TV channels.

I think similar ito with EPL. MP&Silva (isa sa mga broadcast rights holder ng EPL) told ABS-CBN dati to remove all EPL programming sa Balls......kasi na-launch na ng MP&Silva ang BEIN SPORT (which Sky Cable is carrying).

Bein Sport Asia > Balls

As for PBA in HD, your current options are:

and/or
2) Subscribe ka to Fox Sports 1 HD via Sky Cable Select

That would be nice.....and this already the case for Fox Sports in other Asian territories. Fox International Channels Asia owns the broadcast rights for UFC here in Asia..............except Philippines (dahil sa Balls/CPI/ABS-CBN).

With Balls out of the picture, siguro there might be a possibility na TV5 could share a special arrangement with FIC (similar to how TV5 has an agreement with FIC for PBA game broadcast).

They are doing test broadcast now on ch 166. It is a replay of a us open tennis match. Ok looks like itong channel ang mga tennis tsaka uaap. If ganun, im not very disappointed. Yun ch. 195 naging national geographic

may tumawag sa bahay dati, nag aalok ng cignal. analog na destiny kasi ako dati.
tinanong ko agad kung may UFC. sabi wala daw. sagot ko agad, di ako interesado at tinapos ko na agad usapan.
2 months nako skycable hd at nag enjoy na sa balls channel tapos ganito pala mangyayari. iyak... hehe.

nag prepaid cignal na rin kasi ako dati pero asar ako sa service. ang hirap kumontak at may charge agad kada visit. tapos nawawala pa signal pag masama panahon. 

sana naman magka UFC na ulit sa skycable kahit PPV.

This might only happen if a cross-carriage deal is allowed pero sa tingin ko this will only happen for UFC fights that are held or will be held in East Asia and South East Asia (tulad ng UFC Macau on Fox Sports Philippines).

afaik, the 3 grand slam tennis tournaments you mentioned are in fox sports 1 or 2 hd. Us open is in balls hd, which now will be in abs cbn sports and action hd. Too bad they will not show the other atp tournaments. Pero baka they will, hindi lang nakalagay hehe..

Not an audiophile quality speakers, a "decent 2.1 speakers" I should have wrote. It's an old speakers, cambridge soundworks ang brand. . And yes sa Rca lang sya naka-connect. For tv use, oks na rin naman. How much more yung mga branded soundbar ng polk, jbl and the likes. Hindi ko sya dineretso sa tv out dahil wala syang remote for volume, manual volume knob lang sya, kaya sa volume ng skycable remote ko kino-control yung volume.

http://www.mysky.com.ph/metromanila/promos/246/2016/01/04/level-up-your-entertainment-viewing-experience-at-home

2) Musta naman ang Sky on Demand Digibox?

1) Kelangan nga ba talaga na meron ka Sky Broadband subscription?


Based on their Sky On Demand page:

Quote
What can I watch on SKY On Demand?

    Live TV- Watch what is airing on TV live online.
    Local and cable TV shows
    Local and foreign movies

For those with an active SKYcable subscription, channels will be based on your cable plan. For those with an active broadband subscription, local channels will be available. All SKY subscribers are entitled to a 60-day free trial of movies and full season shows.

Pero sana meron Sky On Demand subscriber na mag provide nang review.  Na-intriga rin ako eh.

Di ba bumabagal ang broadband mo pag nanonood ng TV?
Naiimagine ko kasi parang Youtube yung Sky on Demand box so malakas kumain ng bandwidth lalo na kung HD channel ang pinapanood.

I'm NOT a "Sky-On-Demand" subscriber pero I think it is true,  theoretically the bandwidth will be shared.
kaya if you're streaming HD programs the braodband/internet speed will suffer specially on 8Mbps, but it would be better on 16Mbps and best on 50Mbps.

let's wait for subscribers' feedback with 1st-hand experience

paano ba paganahin i-record? i have the ics7600 digibox...

gumagana ang timeshift, here's what i do:

1. go to channel/show i want to record
2. press pause, the video feed will pause then i will see a counter how much is the recording time

'pag ganito, di naman ako makalipat ng channels....
para mawala ang screen freeze, i press the exit button..tapos i have three options

a. yes, stop timeshift and save video
b. yes, stop timeshift and discard video
c. no, continue timeshift.


paano ba yun simultaneous recording and viewing?
paano ba un auto-recording?

Bro, hindi TV tuner ang kelangan mo since only the digibox can decode the encrypted signal from Sky. After the digibox, what you have is digital audio/video signal (HDMI out) or analog AV signal (red/white/yellow RCA out).
I think what you need is a video capture card na may HDMI input.

Skyondemand digibox. Same ang casing nya sa tv plus. Skyondemand box may kasamang usb wifi receiver para sa mga tv na malayo sa modem, may kasama rin ethernet cable para mas stable ang connection kung katabi lang ang modem. Hindi required ang skybroadband para gumana ang skyondemand box. Hindi rin gumagamit ng internet ang box kapag di kayo nanonood ng skyondemand, so kung skycable pinapanood nyo, walang effect sa internet nyo yun. Remote control ng skyondemand box ay kaya icontrol halos lahat ng klaseng tv, para less hassle sa pag gamit ng 2 separate controllers. 3mbps lang ang dsl ko pero smooth ang pag play ng skyondemand kahit hd quality. Kapag may katanungan kayo, tanung lang po kayo.  ;)

No need skybroadband. BayanDSL gamit ko. Baka itry ko soon gamitin wifi iconnect sa smart kung gagana. Kung gagana, pwede sya ikabit sa car. Skyondemand box ay di pareho sa skyondemand via pc n android, walang live show sa skyondemand box kung via skyondemand. Try ko mag post pics soon pag may time. Pwede din kayo mag ask sa fb ng skyondemand kapag may tanong kayo, nagrereply sila sa pm within12hrs.

Actually i have seen pba in hd on fox sports 1 or 2. Pero late night, baka replay lang. i have no interest kasi sa pba hehe. I just don't follow it.

1: you wannna share the primary reason why you shifted from SkyCable to Cignal?
2: more "HD than Sky?  I would assume you mean that the Picture Quality is more crisp and has more details,  what specific Channel/s or TV programs are you referring too? (halos lahat ba in general?)

Yes bro, I find it much clear than Sky. Been on Sky for several years and the only reason I haven't shifted is Cignal's after sales service and wifey's Cinema One hehe.

Local channels though are better with Sky.

What made me shift? Corporate pressure. I work for Smart kasi hahaha

Tapos pag mag-shift ako to usb movies or bluray player, I have to lower tv volume to level 10 kasi sobrang  lakas na.

Some hidden channels like Channel 249 - Simply Money HD are still undergoing testing and evaluation.

Personally though I would like to see more Taiwanese channels pero I know Sky is still thinking on how to implement the Destiny Channel lineup to existing Sky Cable subscribers.

On the bright side, at least I can order TVBS on Sky Select

Bought a straight connector from deeco. Meron din pala silang high gain cable
Katulad nung sa skycable na 80 to 90percent gain

10pesos yong straight connector

Balik ako bukas to buy exact length.

Deeco too as source for the high gain cable and connectors. I had to relocate my TV and I used cable and connectors from them, cable quality as good as the original source point. They have a branch at the ground floor of Farmers' Plaza.

Mga sir ask ko lang kung san ako makakabili ng cable katulad ng sa skycable. Sabi kasi nung installer ko dati mataas daw ang gain ng cable para maganda ang HD. Need kasi ilipat ng position ang tv. At san din nakakabili ng magandang link pang extend ngcable. Yong splitter pero end to end connection lang. Hindi kailangan i split.

My 2cents:
1) Coaxial Cable description is RG6 (it is superior over RG59,  medyo manipis yung radius ng RG59)
- RG6 has a thicker inner conductor as well as the shielding, makapal pati rubber insulator nito
therefore you are able to use longer cables before you have problems with attenuation (signal loss)

2) yung pang extend na sinasabi mo is "coupling" tulad nung nasa picture naka post sa itaas.
3) tapos bili ka rin syempre nung "male" connector and make sure it will fit RG6,  kasi kung pang RG59 mabili mo medyo maliit yun at mahirap ipasok kahit lawayan mo pa :-)

4) just make sure maganda ang pagka-connect sa mga terminals,  kung napansin mo magtrabaho ang technician gumagamit sila ng "cable splicer".  pero I would assume wala ka nitong tool na ito,  kaya ako cutter blade lang gamit ko pero ala-TSAMBA (minsan kasi nahihiwa ang hindi dapat mahiwa,  ingat lang tol at baka hindi lang wire ang mahiwa baka pati daliri,  INGAT)
- kung tama at maayos ang connection mo,  maganda at stable rin ang signal.

TIP:
- kung bibili ka ng Coaxial cable,  specify mo RG6 at pati na rin mga connectors para swak at compatible mga dimension nilang lahat.

Wala pa ba new plans or package ang skycable?

Or sana ma include na din hbo hits hd sa dual def 549 or 999 plans.. Sa cignal kasi ung mga lower plans included na nba premium at hbo hits hd.. Why could skycable cant do it ? :)

Nakapag pakabit na ako nitong Sky cable 1 postpaid plan 299 and 1 prepaid Sky direct plan 250.

So far satisfied naman kami sa bahay, plan 299 postpaid lang kinuha ko kasi madalas local channel lang naman pinanunuood sa bahay. Laking advantage nun abs cbn HD na kasama sa plan.

Ang hilig lang namin ng kuya ko manuod ng motogp and F1 so ipapa add on ko nalang yung fox sports packs HD @ 150 per month. Inaantay lang namin magpost yung account para makapag avail.

Paid 1299 for installation fee and 150 for the fox sports pack HD. total of 1449.00

As for the prepaid Sky direct, Inavail ko yung switcher promo nila since dati akong naka cignals.

Paid only 1499 for the installation fee. Included is a 2 x 250 prepaid loads. So lalabas 1K lang binayaran ko.
Kinuha ko lang ito para sa NBA premiums :D

ako kasi current Sky subscriber, pero gusto ko kasi ng UFC saka sa current plan ko sa sky ang equivalent nun sa Cignal may kasama na NBA premium.

As posted on the cignal thread, nagkapoblema kasi yung cignal namin 2 weeks ago nawalan ng channels. Nag email at tumawag nako sa CSR, nag send ng instructions how to troubleshoot via email. Ginawa ko naman kaso ayaw pa din. Tapos sabi kung magpapapunta daw ng technician to check, bale magkakaron ng service fee.

Sa mga nabasa ko, tipong 700-1000 daw ang babayaran kada punta nun service tech. which is hinde mga taga cignal kundi mga sub-con lang ang gagawa. So dun ako napaisip bakit pa ako magbabayad ng service fee eh dapat free naman yun kasi hinde naman ako may sala kung bakit nawalan ng channel.

Yun po nakapag decide sakin mag switch. Kasi yun binayaran kong installation fee sa sky nun plan 299 postpaid is 1299.00 lang. Nag pa additional lang ako ng prepaid pero sky direct, may promo kasi yun sky na "switcher promo" bale 1499 lang installation fee may free pa na 2 x 250 prepaid loads.

Natuwa lang ako sa prepaid kasi kahit plan 99 lang may nba premium Hd na.

Kaya natuwa ako, i have both world ng sky cable (prepaid at postpaid) Di na ko mamumublema sa cignals pag maulan at mahangin nawawala talaga sya ng signal. Tapos yung service fee nga po. Buti nalang tapos na contract namin sa cignals at di rin naman kame mahilig sa UFC. :)

I didn't know about this, but the subsequent Resurgence Pacquiao-Vargas PPV promo which runs from October 17, 2016 to October 31, 2016 is a total dud. I inquired about this last week and I was flatly told by Sky's CSR that the promo doesn't  exist when in fact it is posted in their official website and Facebook page.

Napaka-inutil ng 3 CSR na kausap ko sabihin ba naman sa akin na yung PPV promo never existed. For a moment I thought I was talking to some badly-programmed robots. Every single  one of them!  But they turned out to be humans. WTF.

Regular rate na ngayun ay 999.

Just to clarify, you are referring to a different promo (Early Bird promo) from the Resurgence PPV promo I wrote about which ends October 31st (that's today), not October 24th. It has totally nothing to do with KFC. Besides, why would I hassle myself for a bucket of fried chicken when I can easily buy that on my own or have it delivered to me without going through Sky's marketing ploy? For me, it is not worth the time, trouble and gasoline.

Like I said, Sky's CSR (I talked to 3 of them after they failed to respond to my email inquiry) claimed the promo never existed. Which is infuriating. How can they disavow something  that is explicitly posted in their own website and FB page?

These are the screenshots from Sky's own FB page and website which refer to the subsequent promo from October 17 to 31, 2016 and has nothing to do with KFC:

Of course it has ended. No issue with that because the early bird promo IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the subsequent PPV P999 promo which I complained about. Please read carefully the info found in the attached screenshots I posted.

The early bird promo ended October 24, 2016. The straight up PPV P999 promo which simply discounts the full value of PPV fee, however, ended today, October 31st.

Therein lies the incompetence of Sky customer service. They have two separate promos with Pacquiao PPV, one of which Sky CSRs claim never existed but actually posted in their own websites. That's why I posted screenshots here to rant about it.

What a lousy marketing debacle!  The admin for Sky's official website and FB page should be fired!

nakita nyo na yung one sky bundles? 1999 na lang yung 16mbps with cable and already includes NBA premium HD sa channel lineup.

im currently on the 8mbps with cable bundle but no nba premium, mag inquire ako if i can upgrade.

ok yung internet speed pero konti lang ang channels niya pero kung nba premium lang naman madalas pinapanood. ok na yan para sa inyo.

Has anyone noticed this week that all SkyCable HD channels are suddenly "too compressed" so that parts of the video image are either displaying visible amount of artifacts or MPEG noise?

For example, if you routinely watch NBA HD, you can easily tell the difference with this sudden degradation. Watching on my 65" 4k TV panel, whenever a camera pans with the running players, the video artifacts and noise are now too obvious. I don't have this complaint just a few days ago!

Just to illustrate what happens when there is too much compression:

(https://s27.postimg.org/fleh78qcz/algolith_400.jpg)

Hmmn, this doesn't look good to me.  1080i nga (yes, that's SkyCable's source, it's not 1080p), pero too compressed ang quality? Ano na naman ang ginawa ng SkyCable at mukhang dinadaya na tayo? 

Here is the bottomline about video quality: The more detailed an image is or the more resolution it has, the more bandwidth it needs.

Because I am seeing more video artifacts and noise now,  the likelihood that SkyCable "reduced" the video bandwidth is high. WTF.

Agree. Sa news at sports channels pansin na pansin since kapag asa newsroom/commentator ang shot okay dahil wala masyado motion pero pag sa field na nagpapan ang pangit na nung quality.

Baka they're opening up system bandwidth for more simultaneous streams (SDV means that they would have to stream all the channels being used for each node/circuit) and other services (probably broadband data).

Say they have a payload capacity of 3 Gbps per node for their QAM implementation: If they allocate half of that for data and assign 20 Mbps per channel including overhead, they'd only be able to accommodate 75 simultaneous channels for all the users on the node. If they apply some form of dynamic allocation and QoS tech, they can increase this to 150 at a time if they are willing to halt internet during times when all the users on the node are watching 150 different channels (they probably won't go this far). They have to strike a sweet spot, especially if they are growing the number of users per node (cheaper for them).

They can increase payload capacity by improving the infrastructure (lower noise / higher bandwidth system) pero malamang malaki ang capital expenditure. Magastos din for them to replace their back-end units and endpoints with h.265 units kung sakaling lilipat sila ng compression format to retain quality at a lower per stream bitrate (h.262 pa nga gamit nila ngayon). The cheapest choice is often for them to increase compression with existing tech and sacrifice quality.

In all fairness, CIGNAL has its own level of deterioration of HD video quality but SkyCable HD has made video compression so freaking bad that even my top-of-the-line 4k TV panel cannot improve the sh_tty video no matter how much adjustment I do with the MPEG NOISE CONTROL from TV settings. SKyCable HD video quality is so bad these days that it is now infuriating to watch something on a 65" screen, specially when there is MOTION and PANNING!

And here's the freakin' kicker: if you notice the deteriorated video quality of SkyCable HD channels, you would swear to God how bad SD (STANDARD DEFINITION) channels have become. In fact, as I tested, the video quality of some local digital TV broadcasts via ISDB-T receiver (like GMA7 and GNTV) significantly looks better (less artifacts) compared to the same local channels when viewed via SkyCable. Ganun kapangit!

I was hoping the SkyCable HD video deterioration was only temporary, which I started noticing towards the middle of December 2016. And now we welcome 2017, this thing persists.

Very good explanation, very plausible.

It appears that this deterioration has started around the time they rolled-out the over "90 free channels promo" back in December 2016. SkyCable obviously did something to their bandwidth to allow more channels. More channels, yeah, but video quality is sacrificed. Quantity over quality.

I personally don't like having more channels when the end result is that we get faux-HD quality. Now that's clearly a rip-off, having to pay for HD cable service and we get less than what is advertised.

Their system can actually allow them to offer many high quality channels to viewers, but that'd require smaller populations per node (because they cannot allow many people watching varied channels on the same node since that'd erode available bandwidth). Since they suddenly offered many free channels, I assume they expected the same node user-count to suddenly explore less utilized channels (raising network utilization). They probably reduced the per stream bit-rate to preempt the demand. It's also the perfect season to do it as many people are busy or away (and may not notice the change). Once the promo is done, they'd have a lot of unutilized capacity to play with and sell.

That can back-fire against them.  If the free trial has lower quality feed, then it'll be a tougher sell.  If they offer something free, they should make sure it's of the highest quality, if the intent was to woo more subscribers...
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Stagea on Jan 04, 2017 at 02:09 PM
If we'd look at the graph below, we can see that we can get equivalent quality at about a fourth of bandwidth with H.265 (HEVC) as compared to the current H.262 (MPEG-2) infrastructure.
(http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/HEVC-Encode.jpg)

Netflix and Amazon Prime Video use this for their UHD streams to maximize quality while being compatible with many internet connections. UHD Bluray uses the same compression format.

That can back-fire against them.  If the free trial has lower quality feed, then it'll be a tougher sell.  If they offer something free, they should make sure it's of the highest quality, if the intent was to woo more subscribers...

It was a temporary holiday season freebie; they did it in the past years too. It may also distract people from their other activities. :P

The following morning nagtest ako. Umabot ng 30mbps. It seems may peak hours. Pero today, more often 20-30mbps kaya will observe muna. However my observation seems useless because partial sa Sky cable ang wife ko because of Cinema 1. This morning we will add another box for the dining and a few more channels.

  Yun din ang alam ko based sa updates ni sky. Pero as confirmed by Sky customer service, Discovery channel contract with Skycable ended last Dec. 31. thus the channel can no longer be viewed on channel 39.
Alam ko may Disco channel kami. I even requested that channel when I moved from Destiny analog to OneSky digital. I'll check later.

nakita ko lang sir nung sine set-up nung technician yung hd box kahapon. press menu and then select scan channel and then select auto scan.

napansin ko kasi medyo compressed/pixelated and may artifacts yung ibang sd channel lalo na sa fox sports and btv nung nanood ako ng nba kanina. parang mas maganda pa yung picture quality before sa destiny cable box thru rca connection. yung sa hd channels ok naman pero parang di pa gaanong smooth.

Today I officially cut the cord.

After being a cable subscriber for nearly 20+ years it's time.

It's been a long time coming as no one in my household watches TV on a schedule pre-determined by the broadcasters. Nowadays people prefer to watch whatever they want whenever they want.

In years past I was still quite worried if I will miss cable TV because of the lack of alternatives. Now with streaming services available here in the country like Netflix and Android TV Live channels I was able to move the budget I spent on Cable TV to improve my internet service in my house. As for local channels, there's nothing good I watch except the news so for that a set top box to get ISDB is enough as well as an AM radio for times of calamity will suffice.

 nag-netflix na lang sila. pero meron din silang apple tv. (hindi ko alam kung magkano yun)
tapos may outdoor antenna sila for local tv broadcasts pero HD na ang channels.

WTF is going on?

Part of the reason I subscribed to their service is to be able to watch NBA in high definition. Suddenly all we get in place of the NBA premium HD channel is the infuriatingly low-res re-broadcast of shows from ABS-CBN sports channel. Their advisory on the sudden disappearance of NBA HD channel only says: temporarily available. Until when?

The abovementioned pushes me closer to the brink of cutting SkyCable service  for good. I've paid them good money since 1991. That's a frickin' 26 years.

SkyCable sucks!  >:(

These cable providers should be held liable. Subcribers sign up for a particular channel lineup. So that caveat that channels can change should be taken out of the contract.

as they try to resolve their contractual issues with Solar

True, iba kasi ang programming setup ng FTA at saka Pay TV with regards to licensing and programming rights.

In any case, for Sky Cable subscribers, the best option for me is:

Excerpt from today's Inquirer Biz Buzz column on the SkyCable-Solar feud. This will likely go to court given the amounts involved, so baka abutin 'to ng taon:

"Biz Buzz learned that Solar had previously entered into a deal with the NBA in 2010 for the former’s right to broadcast basketball games in various platforms. The contract ended in 2014, and a new contract was entered into between Solar, NBA and ABS-CBN. Under the new contract, Solar would continue to broadcast the games over Basketball TV and NBA Premium, while ABS-CBN would broadcast over Channel 2 and ABS-CBN Sports + Action.

And here’s where the problem began. According to Solar, ABS-CBN immediately stopped paying it “carriage fees,” saying that the license fee ABS-CBN paid NBA already included the fees payable to Solar. Uh-oh.

Solar continued to deliver the channels’ content, despite this.

Meanwhile, Solar learned that Sky Cable bundled NBA Premium in a direct-to-home service, which platform was not included in the channel carriage agreements. Solar informed Sky Cable that NBA Premium cannot be offered as part of a subscription plan and demanded that Sky Cable cease such activity.

Not so, replied Sky Cable.

By this time, things were getting out of hand and Solar demanded P321 million worth of unpaid carriage fees from Sky Cable. ABS-CBN came back with a settlement amount of P80 million.

Still no deal.

By February of this year, Solar wrote ABS-CBN again, this time pointing out that the latter’s liabilities had already ballooned to P659 million… to which the country’s largest television network replied that it was willing to pay P111 million.

Still no deal, obviously.

So last week, things came to a head and Solar pulled the plug on its cable feed to Sky Cable. The result: No NBA games for Sky Cable’s irate subscribers."

So 2 separate issues?  ABS CBN not paying Solar the carriage fees (P659M), and Sky bundling NBA Premium to DTH plans (what is the $$$ impact here?).

In this fiasco, Sky and ABS CBN should be treated separately?

^^ Yes, mukhang 'yung non-payment of carriage fees ang main issue. Secondary 'yung pag-bundle ng SkyCable ng Solar NBA channels sa DTH package nila. Lopez companies pareho ang ABS-CBN at SkyCable, baka medyo loose lang pagkagamit ng writer sa "ABS-CBN" pero SkyCable dapat ang party involved sa dispute.

Lousy journalism, if writer loosely interchanged the 2.  They are 2 separate legal entities.  ABS CBN cannot be held liable for issues with Sky, and vice versa.

If the article is accurate, why would Solar expect ABS CBN to pay for carriage fees?  It (ABS CBN) already had a direct agreement with NBA.

So what makes sense is that Skycable did not pay the carriage fees?  Did they (Sky) assume they can piggy back  on ABS CBN's licensing agreement with the NBA?

Yeah.. dick move by Sky...

If they were informed already that there was a dispute, why continue broadcasting (and accruing more fees)? If there was already a dispute, Sky should have stopped and settled the legalities first. By offering a settlement, Sky acknowledged that Solar was correct.

By offering a settlement, Sky acknowledged that Solar was correct.

This is a good point.

However, big business contracts usually include a pre-litigation mode of resolving disputes and one of them is settlement. Right now, based on the article, Solar and Sky are still in pre-litigation mode. There are lots of reasons to settle cases, and generally these reasons do not necessarily imply an admission of guilt or a party acknowledging a violation of the terms of contract.

Still, I think both parties are in equal fault. And we, the hapless subscribers, are caught in the middle.  >:(

Biz Buzz update on the SkyCable-Solar issue with SkyCable's counter-allegations:

ABS-CBN doesn’t buy Solar’s line regarding their cable TV channel dispute. According to the camp of the Lopez family-owned firm, ABS-CBN has not been remiss in paying the licensing fees to the NBA, which include the carriage on SkyCable since it entered into an agreement with Solar as a co-licensee for the airing of NBA programs in 2014. And just like its subscribers, SkyCable was caught by surprise when Solar pulled out the feed of Basketball TV and NBA Premium TV during the Holy Week.

ABS-CBN and SkyCable had been in the middle of discussions with Solar on its demand for payment for its carriage of NBA games when it happened, according to the pro-ABS-CBN grapevine.

Solar, they allege, timed the cable channel disruption when subscribers were looking forward to watching the NBA Playoffs.

And, they added, when SkyCable asked Solar for an explanation or basis for the alleged unpaid carriage fees, Solar did not provide any answer. Instead, the Tieng family’s company unilaterally pulled out their basketball channels.

The SkyCable camp also says it never offered Solar any amount to settle the issue.

But here’s the plot twist: Contrary to Solar’s claims, SkyCable believes that it is actually the former that has significant outstanding debts in the millions of pesos to the latter for the other Solar channels, which are carried by the cable TV service provider.

And despite being portrayed as the bad guy in the issue, SkyCable’s guys say they continue to reach out and remains open to come to terms with their “valuable partner” with the best interest of subscribers in mind. —DAXIM L. LUCAS

The writer is certainly doing a pretty good job at fanning the flames of this issue. :) I don't understand the claim though that it's Solar who owes SkyCable money if Solar is the channel or content provider and SkyCable is the one carrying the channels or content.

Anyway, maybe Solar will come up with a response next week. Or not. :)

Update on the SkyCable-Solar NBA issue. As expected, the dispute has now reached the RTC and it's just warming up. Looks like there's zero chance for an amicable settlement to avoid a prolonged court battle.

Biz Buzz's additional details on the cause of the dispute:

Recall that Solar had previously entered into a deal with the NBA in 2010 for the former’s right to broadcast basketball games in various platforms. The contract ended in 2014, a new contract was entered into between Solar, NBA and ABS-CBN. Under the new contract, Solar would continue to broadcast the games over Basketball TV and NBA Premium, which ABS-CBN would broadcast over Channel 2 and ABS-CBN Sports + Action.

There the problem began. According to Solar, ABS-CBN immediately stopped paying it “carriage fees,” saying that the license fee ABS-CBN paid NBA already included the fees payable to Solar.

Biz Buzz did a little digging and learned that the contract signed by the parties involved was simply silent on whether either ABS-CBN or Solar were still in a commercial relationship involving money.

Supposedly, the contract didn’t specify any payments from ABS-CBN to Solar for the new deal. ABS-CBN assumed that, since they were paying NBA so much, it already covered the obligations to Solar. Solar, meanwhile, simply assumed that the previous arrangement was still in force—an “implied contract”, if you will.

(“The entire agreement was on a one-page term sheet that was silent on the issue of payment,” said one party familiar with the dispute.)


Hard to believe that the entire agreement was just a one-pager, given who and what was involved. Kaya nag-assume na lang ng kaniya-kaniya ang SkyCable at Solar. ???

To my understanding no more carriage fees for NBA games aired over ABS CBN and S&A.  With Solar being the sole and official carrier of the NBA, ABS CBN should pay carriage fees for airing BTV & NBA premium via Sky.

So may utang talaga and ABS.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Wiggum on May 31, 2017 at 08:50 AM
Parang mahina nga argument ng SkyCable na because they're already paying license fees to the NBA, di na sila kailangan magbayad sa Solar for adding BTV and NBA Premium to the channels they offer (and from which they're making tons of money) to subscribers.

Ang appeal talaga ng BTV and NBA Premium yung additional NBA content like the live commentary, documentaries and other special basketball shows. 'Yan ang alas ng Cignal, Cablelink and the other cable providers to draw die-hard NBA fans. For example, malabong ipalabas ng ABS-CBN yung upcoming NBA Draft and Awards Night ng live.

If this bit of info is true, this legal battle has become more and more strange lately. A multi-million contract without terms of payment? WTF.

One basic principle of contract law is that terms must be certain. Sufficiently certain, not too vague or too ambiguous, to be legally enforceable.

So how are the parties going to enforce a term of a contract that is silent?

One plausible recourse to end this case of greed: the RTC simply enjoins the parties to come to an agreement to determine the payment to be ‘fair and reasonable.’

Post by: crazyhog on May 31, 2017 at 10:18 AM
Fraud?

Solar chairman Wilson Tieng claims that the issue goes beyond the non-payment. Tieng told the court that ABS-CBN is not paying intentionally so that it could bleed Solar dry until Solar could no longer afford the NBA license.

"By creating a scenario where they will not pay us, nobody can afford such big amount of utang (debt). We already loaned from every bank that we can get money to pay NBA. If we will not pay, NBA will cut us, ABS-CBN will be happy. That is the conspiracy, that is the fraud," Tieng told the court according to case records.

"ABS-CBN has been salivating for the NBA the whole time, they want the NBA," Tieng had said.

"In 2014, ABS-CBN and Solar jointly entered into a license agreement with NBA Properties Incorporated. Since ABS-CBN was paying 60% of the license fees, it considered that the same already covered the carriage fees of Sky Cable. Unfortunately, Solar disagreed," ABS-CBN said in the statement.

Sky Cable subscribers noticed around April that the NBA games were no longer being carried on their paid cable. It was also when the NBA playoffs kicked off, frustrating hoops fans subscribed to Sky.

It remains unavailable on Sky Cable, days before the NBA Finals begin on Thursday, June 1 (Friday, June 2 in Manila).

"Despite the good faith attempts of ABS-CBN and Sky Cable to resolve the dispute amicably, Solar cut off the NBA feed to Sky Cable and filed this complaint," ABS-CBN said.

Solar's lawyers said the next court hearing has not been scheduled. – Rappler.com

"ABS-CBN in collusion with Sky Cable had no intention to pay such channel carriage fees as their objective is to become the exclusive licensee of NBA, thereby gaining full control and exclusive rights to the broadcast of NBA games in the Philippines."

Given how terrible ABS-CBN is handling the local broadcast of the NBA games (lousy commentary, telecasts loaded with commercials), this will be an unfortunate development if ever it happens.

I already shifted to Cignal TV last April mainly because of the NBA channels.  And mas mura na yun plan ko na Plan P490 kasama na NBA HD at may PBA HD pa and Hyper HD which features UFC and golf.   I just added History HD for P50 a month so P540 a month ako.  Half the price of what I pay sa SKY.  Nawala lang yun MTV HD ko, ABS CBN HD, ANC HD and yun Teleradyo but I can live without Ted Faylon and Noli de Castro hahaha.

The good in Cignal, aside from the price, is the digibox's ability to decode Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus.  I can now watch my HD Channels in 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound.   The NBA finals will surely be a treat!  The digibox is also very compact para syang bunsong anak ng Skycable digibox ko.

The bad -- pag maulap walang signal.  Minsan umaabot ng 15 to 20 minutes. Hanggang makapal yun ulap yari ang signal mo.  Yun ulan okay lang basta hindi maulap walang problema.

I don't think there is.

But nung time na nag de-decide pa lang ako to switch to Cignal, tinitignan ko yung mga Ciganl promo booth sa malls, may TV sila dun at parang hindi ganun kaganda/kalinaw yung HD channels lalo na yung NBA. sabi ko baka sa brand ng tv yun or sa settings. still I decided to switch. nung time na install na nung Cignal tech, eh naka kabit pa Sky namin nuon, sabi nung technician iba daw talaga linaw ng Sky channels. napa dalawang isip tuloy ako bigla haha. pero nung nakabit na, eh hindi pa disconnected yung sky namin, dun ako nagka chance na i-compare yung clarity ng channels. halos walang pagkaka iba, minsan nga yung ibang HD channels sa Sky eh parang 720p lang. and yung NBA Premium TV eh clear talaga, unlike yung nakita ko promo booth nila. nasa settings talaga ng TV yun hehe. yung nasa mall nga 40-inch tv lang, compared to my 55-inch tv. but afaik, 1080i lang talaga resolution ng HD channels both for SKY and Cignal. another plus is yung dolby digital, I can hook it up with my HT.

Kaya ko pa tiisin to kasi ayoko talaga mag Cignal for several reasons. But if wala pa rin NBA Premium HD channel ko by the start of the next regular season, then I'll consider getting Cignal.
Bro, care to disclose ano ayaw mo sa Cignal?

ah ok, haba pa kwento ko haha.. well for me, the only comparison  I've done is the whether they have NBA Premium TV and UFC channel (Hyper) or not hehe.. for the other HD channels, I've compared my previous plan with Sky to that of the same plan with Cignal.  there are pros & cons for both, it all boils down on what channels are you willing to give up to gain some.

but for the higher plans, I think almost the same lang except for the exclusive channels (like ABS-CBN HD, S+A HD, etc, for Sky; HyperHD for Cignal).

I already shifted to Cignal TV last April mainly because of the NBA channels.  And mas mura na yun plan ko na Plan P490 kasama na NBA HD at may PBA HD pa and Hyper HD which features UFC and golf.   I just added History HD for P50 a month so P540 a month ako.  Half the price of what I pay sa SKY.  Nawala lang yun MTV HD ko, ABS CBN HD, ANC HD and yun Teleradyo but I can live without Ted Faylon and Noli de Castro hahaha.

The good in Cignal, aside from the price, is the digibox's ability to decode Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus.  I can now watch my HD Channels in 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound.   The NBA finals will surely be a treat!  The digibox is also very compact para syang bunsong anak ng Skycable digibox ko.

The bad -- pag maulap walang signal.  Minsan umaabot ng 15 to 20 minutes. Hanggang makapal yun ulap yari ang signal mo.  Yun ulan okay lang basta hindi maulap walang problema.



You still watch the NBA pala sir? Hindi na yata kita nakikita sa NBA thread.  :)

Sana pala hindi maging maulap ang panahon ngayong NBA Finals  :D

It should be the same.  Digital naman yan.  Either zero or 100%, unlike analog.  Advantage ng via fibr walang signal loss pag bad weather.

^This is the reason im sticking it out with sky. Although it really sucks nawala na yun nba premium. It is a big blow but i have nba league pass, so no problem for me. What i will miss is the variety of programs and games like the post game shows, nba game time every 11pm, classic games, replays, draft, etc. Actually i have the ubox 3, and it has nba premium. Nakakatamad lang to watch it here because it is in sd.

Btw meron hits channel sa sky. Its 137. One of my favs because of the classic shows hehe.

I'm not sure if pwede sa Cignal but I like that you can order channels ala carte in SkyCable.

Dual Def 999 din ako. Although I don't watch SyFy and Universal, I agree lugi na nga. Sana may gawin na ang Sky regarding the NBA, parang wala kasi it's been months na. The draft can be watched online. Go to reddit lang and type nba streams. May link diyan for the draft.

You're right. Solar initially sued for unpaid carriage fees earlier this year. Then, as reported in August 2017, Solar slapped a sweeping estafa complaint against the owners and top executives of ABS-CBN, naming almost 40 persons, including company chair Eugenio Lopez III, CEO Carlo Katigbak, its Board of Directors, top management and various division heads of the ABS-CBN’s organization.

I honestly don't see an early resolution of their cases with the subsequent filing of the estafa complaint. We're probably talking here of several years of waiting as the cases go up from RTC and eventually to SC. Meantime, subscribers like us are in the middle of it all.

Via dish ako, because i have converge internet. No pldt fibr offer in my area.
For me picture quality goes to sky. Seems sharper and brighter. Im comparing same settings ha, but you can always adjust. Cignal is sharp enough.
Sound goes to sky. Pero i just use tv sounds. I didnt care about dolby digital. Mahina sound ng cignal.
I installed cignal couple months na ata, and its been raining recently. Hard pa, so battle tested siya. So far 2 to 3 times nawala ang signal but came back after seversl minutes. All the while i thought for every no signal since na move yun dish, you have to call cignal technician to fix. Hindi pala ganun. Im definitely satisfied with cignal because of this.

So far ok ang cignal. Im thinking of getting the 1590 plan of cignal and downgrade my sky cable plan and alacartes. Im thinking 299 nalang sky then add news channels. Tapos 1590 sa cignal. Im calculating it will be cheaper. Kasi yun sports illustrated channel is now worthless for me pag walang nfl football.

Yun cignal ko, solo ko kasi. Yun sky i have several boxes for family kasi. Thats why im thinking for sky, 299 lang and news channels, ok na for them hehe. They always watch korean drama naman thru streaming.

Maybe others here with both sky and cignal can chime in. Yun ang observation ko comparing both.

I was thinking of the same. Or terminate my plan. Kaya lang sa household namin, marami kasi pabor sa ABS-CBN Channel 2 which is 1080i HD with excellent sound. It's the only local big network na Full HD with very clear video quality. The other local networks (except for CNN PHILIPPINES which started to broadcast in Full HD), look horrible on a big TV.

I was contemplating on doing this. The problem I have is, I really think sky has better pq and audio versus cignal. On pq, it's only my observation, but you have to ask the others. Sa sound, I think it is confirmed mas mahina ang cignal.

I can't believe sky has lost all of it's advantage. They should at least add some additional channels for the channels/programs lost. Especially yun sa nba hd, they should add at least a couple of hd channels sa packages nila. What is the use of free channels for a month? I mean come on..

I'm still contemplating and deciding what to do. Dual ako. 

This really sucks. I still like the lineup of sky. Still deciding hehe.

Is the NBA Dispute causes sky to stop update new channels (including HD)?
 And what's the deal with Carrier Agression? Why is SKY uses this strategy instead of agreeing extended contract with Solar for the NBA rights?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: DVD Emman on Oct 19, 2017 at 12:35 PM
New developments, Sky has a free preview on Kids/Animation channels. And the Solar cable Channels  are now labeled Reserved. Sky had lost many channels this year since January These are:
1. Discovery Science
2. DMAX
3. EVE
4. Discovery Kids
5. Sundance Channel HD
6  Fox Sports News
7. SyFy
8. Universal Channel
9. Jack TV
10. Solar Sports
11. CT
12. BTV
13. NBA PREMIUM TV SD/HD
There are new channels added this year but on SD they are:
1.GEM TV
2. ANIPLUS
3. France 24
4. Fox Filipino
Why is SKY is now have fewer offerings on Pay TV this year and focus more on Broadband internet?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: blackcyborg009 on Oct 31, 2017 at 02:32 PM
1. Discovery Science
2. DMAX
3. EVE
4. Discovery Kids
5. Sundance Channel HD
6  Fox Sports News
7. SyFy
8. Universal Channel


For the above channels, those were terminated by the content providers.
-For channels 1-4, Discovery Networks Asia Pacific did not renew the contracts for those channels for Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand
-For Channel 5, AMC Networks International terminated airing of Sundance Channel......and decided to focus on its existing AMC Asia channel.
-For channel 6, Fox Networks Asia ceased Fox Sports News for all Asian regions since April 2017 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Sports_News_(Asia))
-For channels 7-8, NBC Universal Networks stopped airing those channels since December 2016.........although there are rumors that NBC Universal may introduce the 13th street channel and possible expand the footprint of Dreamworks TV channel to other Asian territories.

In short, it's not just a SkyCable thing.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD

Fox News Channel recently pulled the Plug on SkyCable. So that's makes it 13 channels loss. Also i don't think 13th Street will be available in Asia soon; we already have too much Gen. Entertainment genres right now.
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: DVD Emman on Nov 05, 2017 at 04:28 PM
I don't know why ABS CBN wants to joint venture with Solar Entertainment for the NBA rights in 2014, it clear the ABS CBN  will air the games on Free TV while Solar will air on Pay TV networks. Here's is where the mistake happens why SKY cannot pay it's fees to Solar since it is owned by ABS CBN it is clear that Sky need to pay to Solar about the NBA rights in the first place but it didn't happen. What ABS CBN are they thinking? 
Now that Solar channels is no longer in the SKY lineup, how they can improve their Business strategy in Cable TV industry? And will SKY will survive it's business without ABS CBN?

If only SKY renew Solar channels in the first place. Solar Channels expired it's contract to Sky In 2014 but why didn't renew it and still continue to Air Solar Channels? (Apart from NBA rights) This is a very slouchy idea for ABS CBN when they join NBA for their FTA rights to NBA but not renewing Solar To SKY.

I also terminated my Skycable subscription.  I was paying P1150/month for 4 TVs and no HD channels.  I also had a problem with their aftersales service.  For the past month most of the time the channels were pixellated.  I called up Sky to check on my connections.  Nobody came  even after multiple attempts to call them.  Mom ko pa naman TV now is her life and sira ang araw if yung mga telenovelas nya disrupted because of bad signal.  Nakakainis pa yung mga personal account manager na yan.  Wala naman kwenta.  Tinatawagan mo di naman macontact.
Now I'm getting the basic P490 plan sa Cgnal but with additional 2 TVs pa amounting to P990/month.  At least maka experience na ng HD channels. (http://www.symbianize.com/images/smilies/new/excited.gif)

I saw some comments on the SKYcable Facebook page. They will remove some channels from FNG as well from ABS CBN cable channels from January 1 they are:
-Fox Action Movies (SD AND HD)
-Nat Geo People (SD AND HD)
-Fox Crime (SD AND HD)
-Channel V
-Hero TV
-TAG
 
SKY is neglecting it's Cable TV business and focus more on improving their Broadband internet service. I think they remove 20+ cable channels this year due to lack of viewership or contract Dispute. I never forget what happened when Solar Entertainment pull the Plug on it's Cable channels especially NBA programs due to upaid dues. I wish Sky will revamp it's Cable tv business by changing it's management and improving their services especially in a competitive market where Online streaming services is now in a fast pace and switching to other Pay TV providers like CIGNAL.

as a long time skycable subscriber, ganyan talaga yan minsan nagugulat na lang ako biglang enabled yung channel kahit wala naman sa subscription ko yun, pero minsan over the weekend lang or mga 1 week lang tapos mawawala na agad, sinasadya ng skycable yan para pag nagustuhan mo yung channel mag uupgrade ka ng plan or ipapa enable mo yung channel na yun for additional fee. 2 weeks ago lang lahat ng HD channel available sa akin pero nawala din after 1 week.

Kakabanas na itong sky after nawala nba premium. Seems like everything going downhill. Dapat lang they keep adding channels on the more expensive plans. Im paying over 3 thou a month because of additional boxes and additional channels. It seems like they dont look after their loyal customers.

For me hassle kasi to keep calling and cancel, then reapply hehe. Yun isa pa problem ko, i like the channels sa 990 plan like e! Hd, blue entertainment hd, axn hd etc. I dont watch them often but enjoys it when they have a good show.

Medyo ma hassle nga lang sir, pero sa experience ko mabilis naman sila mag activate. Sa twitters ko nga lang pina aactivate sakin eh, mga 5-10mins lang activated na yung pina-add kong channels. Same thing pag ipapacancel ko yung add ons. Via twitters din :D

I have a bad feeling scenario about Solar NBA ending their contact once the season is over and ABS CBN take over the NBA rights starting with the 2018-19 season. Once that happens NBA Premium TV and BTV will eventually ceased broadcasting. That happened to CT, it was ceased it channel on New Year's day 2018. It will be a disaster for switching from SKY to other providers that's has BTV and NBA Premium Tv if that  happens. What will be the fate of Solar Entertainment after NBA?

if SkyCable can't give their subscribers a satisfying channel listings available then sooner or later it would be better to just switch to streaming media.
you'll get HD, UHD and HDR contents basta mabilis lang internet connection. 

- nagbawas na ako ng 2x HDBox extensions dahil nag upgrade ako into UHD Smart Tvs and now enjoying streaming contents at least that works for me, instead of upgrading my SkyCable plan I took my money paying for Netflix nalang.
- yung PBA at PSL ng ESPN-5 napapanuod ko live-streaming in HD (using the YouTube app)

Hi po how do you watch via live streaming ng pba using you tube sa tv? Ung built in app ba ng tv mo? Malinaw ba as i hd ang nafefeed nya? Kasi ako i watch live pba games din via streaming sa chromecast medyo malabo sya.. pero pag replay naman malinaw hd ang feed nya...

mine is a SmartTV w/ built-in Netflix and YouTube app,
+Yes I do watch the PBA livestream on Sports5 youtube channel,  if you have a fast internet then you'll be able to watch it on HD (1080p) pero tama ka, medyo degraded ang quality dahil siguro sa pag stream nila while PSL livestream is at 720p only.

EDIT: pag out-of-town yung games kadalasan degraded talaga PQ,  sa pag-stream nila talaga ang prublema

I'd rather watch PBA livestream because I hate those advertisements that occupies a large portion on the bottom plus during breaks/timeout nakikita ko rin ang team huddle

Ah ok po tnx sa reply, anyway may i ask anu po internet speed mo?
Kasi ako ay pldt fibr 20mbps, i used google chromecast pag nagstream ng pba.. so far naman kasi ok ang mga netflix, iflix at youtube sakin pag nag stream, hd qualiy sya, yun pba lang pag live ang hindi ko ma stream ng hd parang sd lang ang na e produce nya... pero pag replay naman sobra linaw na nya...

1) 25Mbps SkyBroadband malinaw ang Netflix HD/UHD contents
2) Youtube app gamit ko kung manuod ng livestream PBA at PSL same lang tayo ng result mas malinaw ang replay/uploaded videos from Sports5 pero pag livestream parang SD nga lang din sa kanila talaga ang prublema,  pero OK lang sa akin kasi walang commercials at less advertisements during the game kita pa ang team huddle pag timeout.

I have recently have a flyer brochure of SkyCable and I browsing through the channel lineup and I'm surprised that Discovery Channel is on the HD 549 channel lineup (ch. 39 & ch. 180 HD) and not available on the HD 999 lineup. That's very odd since that channel added to HD 549 since April Last year.

And once again that Toonami will ceased it's broadcast on April 1 according to Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific Inc.

Will you choose quantity over quality hd channels..?
Ako ang habol ko nalang sa sky is abs hd, s&a hd and cinema one, which i think all these three will be impossible to be included in the cignal plan. Kaya balak ko na din pa downgrade ung sky namin sa dual def 299.

Then the next day SKY replied to me that Mezzo is now Active but when I turned on the TV and dialed channel 252 (Mezzo Live HD channel no.) It is blocked. I tried to PM SKY because the channel is not activated. And while I'm channel surfing, i was shocked that they activated MTV Live HD (channel 190) and not Mezzo LIVE HD!! how come SKY activated the wrong channel? It's been four days now since MTV live is still active and MEZZO isn't. I want to order Mezzo because of its outstanding contribution to classical music, opera and Jazz and I want having great Entertainment.
Has anyone out there ordering the right channel and activate the wrong channel on SkyCable select?

Hasn't happened to me maybe because when I order ala carte channel/s I do it over the phone (landline). So before we end the call, the channel is already activated and I confirm it with the customer rep.

Meron kami ng Sky on Demand pero minsan lang gamitin. Sa iPad ako nanonood. No Chromecast support, maybe because Sky wants you to get their Sky on Demand TV box if you want to watch it on the TV. Hindi HD ang quality, but looks decent in its best quality. Not a lot of on-demand titles as well, unlike Netflix or other streaming platforms.

I have a feeling if Sky wants to raise their Cable TV prices in the future since our Plan 549 has more HD Channels. Do you think there is a possibility? Sky is improving it's service and transitioning their infrastructure from Hybrid Fibre coaxial (HFC) to Fiber to the home (FTTH) does this mean that our Cable bills will increased in the future due to the infrastructure and content cost?

Same ba ang quality ng ABS-CBN HD sa SKY, Cignal and TVplus? ABS-CBN HD is the only reason why hindi ko pa pinapaputol ang cable namin. I have no experience with Cignal and TVplus. Thanks.

Bro actually walang abs cbn hd sa cignal and tv plus and other cable provider, kasi exclusive channel siya sa sky cable talaga.. yan din ang reason kung bakit di ko mapalitan si sky cable hehehe..

I just found New Channels on channel 77 and 78. Both are in SD. Channel 77 is Asiannovela Channel and Channel 78 is Movie Central. Both are in Test Broadcast and blocked as of now. Is ABS CBN own these Channels? They recently ceased TAG last January but why they continue to make Cable Channels even though it will failed in the end? When will ABS CBN stop making pay TV Channels? Is 6 pay TV channels not enough?

Why do we always have SD and HD channels simulcasting the same show on different format? I mean we enjoyed programs in HD like HBO, Discovery, Fox life, History etc.... But why do we need an SD feed of the same program? Is it because off profit? Or is it because they have an extra TV that has a Sd Digibox on it? I have two TV with two HD Digiboxes in our house and it's worth the extra 250 a month additional outlet fee.

I just recently inquire about that fox sports hd, ang sagot nila sakin fox sports hd its not included in dual def plans 549 or 999. Ala carte lang sya pede daw..( fox sports hd pack). i ask two csr nila and pareho sila ng sagot...

I checked din ung website nila and fox sports hd is not included in dual def plans..
So i guess medyo pinatikim lang tayo ng free viewing nila nun...

Dyan lamang ang cignal subscriber, dami nila sports channel..
Plan 690 meron na sila pba rush, hyper (ufc), nba premium, fox sports1, fox sports 2, all of them are in hd ( too bad all of these 5 hd channels wala ang sky).

Dual def 999 has Fox Sports and Fox Sports 2 in SD format but still widescreen. Are you now content on what you have? Still Sky has World cup just around the corner. Cignal, not so.

Many pay tv companies around the world is taking off some of your favorite channels due to carrier disputes over the cost of operation and the surge of OTT media on the internet.
Here is just the sample:
 -SkyCable pull out 4 channels from FOX Networks Group last Dec. 31, 2017
   -FOX Action Movies
   - Fox Crime
   - Nat Geo People
   - Channel V (For Destiny Cable only)
Amazingly they gonna continue operating other FNG channels like Fox, Fox Life, Fox Movies, Nat Geo, Fox Sports, etc... On Sky. Maybe it has to do with the Disney Fox Merger that is still need an approval form the shareholders.
But while Sky continue to offer Fox content, other Pay TV service didn't get so lucky.

Singapore Cable Tv company Starhub recently pullout 11 channels from Discovery Channels due to carrier dispute. It will be in two batches.

The first is already ceased it broadcasts last June 30
 -Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC, Discovery Asia, Discovery Science, Eurosport and Setanta Sports
The second batch will be ceased on August 31. It will consist of recently bought Lifestyle channels from Scripps internactive.
 -HGTV, Food Network, AFC and Travel Channel.

What is the difference between Sky Pulling out four channels from FNG but saved other channels owned by FNG compared to Starhub pulling out all Discovery channels property? And which channels do you think Sky will pullout by the end of the year?

Kasi last year sabi nila its still under negotiation, then from time to time nagbibigay sila ng update.. but now as in news blackout na sila sa issue na yan, then if ever tanungin mo sila ang parati nila pang counter na sagot, just subsrcibe to nba league pass...

Kung nasa korte na yung dispute between Solar and ABS regarding NBA carriage, matagal pa yan. And since Solar has started marketing his digital TV box easyTV that carries his NBA channels here in metro Manila, Solar is pinning their hopes people hooked to sky will avail of this product to enable the reception of Basketball TV and NBA Premium Channel over the air. (at an annual fee of P990 straight to Solar, not thru Sky)

According to my sources, these boxes will be deployed within a few weeks to new HD installs.
It has internal storage for recording, can run Netflix and YouTube either thru sky broadband or thru wifi  connection to third party broadband provider. Remote control app can be installed on smart phones to act as 2nd remote. No word though if it can play out files from external source connected to the USB port.

Skycable used to have the best sports and news lineup, particularly after they bought out Destiny. 

They don't seem to understand that the only way cable can survive in the era of streaming is on broadcasting live events, like sports and news. Niche programming also contributes but the biggest draw in the past, movies and tv shows, are no longer the draw today.

SkyCable's decision makers need to get their business model out of the 90's.

I strongly agree with you.. ng naglabasan ung mga streming service like netflix, iflix etc.. bihira na din ako manood ng cable tv.. usually ginagamit ko nalang cable tv  pag nanonood ng news and sports.. thats why i think mas tama ung ginagawa ng cignal na to focus more on sports shows...

In the US, cable TV is expensive and the culprit is Live sports programs. Sports is the most expensive TV genre in terms of revenue. License fees, advertising and income from sports players and sports organizations contributed to the high cost of cable bills in the US. For the Average American rising cable cost seems too much and they began cut the cord and find alternatives like SVOD and Live TV streaming from the internet.
This is why Cignal can't add more channels because of the cost of Sports Programs from NBA to PBA because there expensive to distribute. And this is why Cignal don't have HD versions off AXN, Disney channel, Discovery etc.. and stuck with the regular SD channels.
Sky on the other hand is playing safe by adding new Channels despite removing Solar Channels last year. And some Sports channels decided to make it ala Carte to keep the basic base tv package cost low.

Speaking of the above.

I heard *daw* na moving forward, all new subscriptions will be on bundled packages (e.g. One Sky platform na Pay TV + internet etc etc.). Wala na standalone package na TV-only or whatnot.

And looking at the pictures above, napaisip ako:
Does that mean all Sky Pay TV related services will be IPTV-based?

Kumbaga, hindi na traditional coaxial cable ang gagamitin nya?

And that's a concern...........kasi from the last time, shared ang bandwidth ng Sky for both Pay TV and general internet usage. Kumbaga, kung may malakas gumamit ng net gamit ang Sky connection, then chop-chop and buffering yung Pay TV viewing.

Unlike sa Cignal via PLDT Fiber Optic na kahit gaano kalakas ang net usage, hindi madadamay ang TV viewing (kasi dedicated bandwidth).

Can anyone care to comment? :)

The HD fedd of Metro Channel returns after a temporary SD feed of Metro Channel on Ch. 174. I think this is the cause when Liga HD coverage of the World Cup suddenly went black.

Also Asianovela channel and Movie Central (ch. 77 & 78 test broadcast) are not moving forward to launch these channels. They are now scrapped and went back as a reserved Channel. Along with ASN which was ceased on July 6.

Same here. I just upgraded my 16mbps to 25mbps (which is cheaper by P100). I don't know if you also subscribe to their cable but I subscribe to both. What I did was get Nexflix, then downgraded from cable plan 999 to 299. I only watch the news and live sports. Besides, I watch live stream naman din since inalis na rin ng Sky ang NBA Premium kaya lalong naging useless ang cable.

two weeks na akong "no input signal". send them a tweet to look at it. sabi within 24-72 hours may pupunta. hay nako, wala pumunta. pinadisconnect ko na yung dual def 549 na subscription ko sa asar.

july 29 pa wala signal ko. binayaran ko na lang din yung aug 2018 billing ko kahit wala akong service na nakuha since august na nung magrequest ako ng termination ng subscription. aba, kailangan pa daw magbayad ng 356 pesos for disconnection fee.

ibang klase talaga itong Sky Cable.

bumili na lang ako ng Easy TV. ayun, may History, NBA, BTV etc.

Short news clips to cover headlines for viewers who can only afford short viewing time. Still, does not replace the splendid BBC documentaries.

Post by: DVD Emman on Sep 06, 2018 at 08:15 PM
His anyone have a problem with cable signals lately? The one that having no signal when watching when it's on? Well I learn something during their cable maintenance. The problem is that cable wires can deteriorate over time when it gets old and tempered. Another culprit is that their using a different type of cable wire normally Rj59 which is the old cable wire that used in the old days in cable tv. When use it on digital cable, this where it happens when you get no signal or pixilated because of too much bandwidth. There solution, replace the old Rj59 with RJ6 coaxial cable wires. This wire  is very thick it will eliminate distortion signals from cable TV and High speed internet and very suitable for HDTV. Ask your cable maintenance to replace your old cable wires to a new one with RJ6 coaxial.

If you have a fast internet (e.g. Converge). NBA league pass is a very good option. I downgraded my sky from plan 1999 to 549 after nba premium pass went kaput. Added only around 600 plus for the league pass. Never looked back.

I've wanted League Pass since the season started but I'm not sure if you can watch it on a smart TV? Does the TV need an NBA League Pass app? Because LG doesn't have it. I don't want to watch it on the laptop.

P600 per month? Via Globe ba or direct NBA.com League Pass? I pay about 5k for annual.

NBA League Pass quality via Chromecast is excellent, it is the same quality as local cable providers HD channels.  If you are using Chromecast Ultra and have a 4k TV, the quality gets even better - much better than HD channels of local cable providers. This may depend however on your Internet connection, I'm using 50Mbps PLDT Fibr.

Ok good to hear that cause akala ko like the pba games.. di ba may live streaming ang pba, if you watch it in a replay malinaw and hd quality talaga feed nila pero if you are watching it live streaming medyo hindi ganun kaganda picture quality...im streaming via chromecast on my smart tv. Pldt fibr 20mbps.

Agree with raptor. I think the HD quality of live games on League Pass streamed on TVs via Chromecast or Apple TV is even better than NBA Premium TV HD on Cignal. But you really need a fast internet connection (ex. 20 mbps).

Bakit nga ba ganun kamahal ang ala carte ng nba premium sa sky?
350 per month just for one channel...
Samantala sa cignal sa plan 490 included na nba premium..
Minsan talaga mapapaisip ka if worth it un ala carte ng skycable na yun or much better nga mag nba league pass nalang since medyo mahal ng konti pero ikaw na mismo makakapili ng games na gusto mo panoorin...

Suggestion ko sa sky sana naman include nila nba premium sa dual def 549..

Hi everyone, it's been too long since my last post. My old tablet is dead so I bought a brand new tablet. But enough about that.
Have you noticed that Sky recently new channel slot appear in your digibox? These seven reserved channels is poped up in the lineup. Here are the Channels : 239, 240, 241, 262, 263, 264 and 265. What exactly does it mean? Are we expecting brand new HD channels or HD simulcast channels this coming 2019 or possibly Next month? And how about the Free Channels promo, why do they offered it right now instead of December?

Look Mr. , I have no interest to NBA. I'm just here to post some of the development in SkyCable especially in HD from new channels to channels disappearing.  But from my perspective, I think Solar didn't get the go signal to broadcast BTV and NBA Premium on Sky last October. In fact Jack TV and Solar Sports are not available when BTV and NBA Premium goes on air on sky. Also I think ABS CBN is not yet paying to Solar about the NBA rights just yet.

This means that the two new channels on lineup Filmbox:Arthouse and DaVinci Kids will replaced the two channels mentioned earlier. Both of the new channels will be only accessable through Select Family Pack (additional PHP350/month). Gold HD subs on the other hand will see AMC will replaced with Sony GEM TV starting Jan. 1.

Stated sa website sa skycable na free lang nba premium until jan.15. And hindi na sya kasama sa plan 999 and above. Ala carte nalang talaga nba premium for P350.
Hindi rin sila sigurado kung hanggang kailan ang solar sa kanila. Kaya hindi pa nila ma-commit isama sa plan.

at 350, you're better off subscribing to NBA League Pass ... NBA games shown on the channel are very limited, some of the nationally televised games are not even shown on the channel

Minsan tine-test ko rin kung may difference, kung mag-upscale sa 1080p quality. Ang napansin ko, kapag set sa 1080p yung digibox, nagiging 50hz ang refresh rate. Hindi nag upscale, lalo pang nagdepreciate quality since bumababa refresh rate. Pinaka ok na talaga settings na 1080i, since ito naman deafault na broadcast.

May ticker ako na nabasa kanina from Sky while watching NBA Premium. Yung free view na until January 15 ay applicable lang para sa mga naka plan na hindi talaga kasama sa lineup yung NBA Premium. So available parin sya sa channel lineup ng mga naka plan 999.

what do you think is the HD Resolution of the following ABS CBN channels?
1. ABS CBN HD
2. S+A HD
3. Metro Channel HD
4. LIGA HD
5. ANC HD
why is Cinema one not yet in HD? Is it the capacity bandwidth or is HD broadcasting still expensive in Philippines standards?

So no one wants to broadcast the Oscar's this year. I see that HBO Asia ended its contract with the Oscars last year. This year's Oscar's will don't have a Host and downsizing it's coverage to just three hours compared to the longer 3 hours 50 minutes duration last year. So who's gonna broadcast the Oscar's now?

For the last time there is no Fox Sports SD on Plan HD 549!! And Sky recently updated its Channel lineup as of February 2019. You can pay 100 PHP to get Fox Sports SD via Select. You want more proof go to the website again and click Plan HD 549 for the lineup.

Have you seen the new SkyCable plans? They remove the HD 549, HD 999, Silver and Gold plans and replace it with HD 500 and HD 1000. The HD 500 has less channels than HD 549 but you have NBA Premium TV HD included on HD 500. I'm a current HD 549 subscriber so will the channel lineup be changed?

Has anyone occured with this? SKYcable recently have a free preview promo of sports channels until October 31. But I wasn't expected to add other cable channels that wasn't on my HD 549 Plan lineup. For example the number of HD channels on HD 549 Supposed to be 25 but now it balloned to 38 and that doesn't include the free sports channels. There's also balloned the standard definition channels as well including Disney JR., Nickelodeon, Animal Planet, Filmbox, KBS world, etc.... This is getting weird to me since HD549 is no longer available and replace it with HD 500.  I think this is a glitch or this is gift for being loyal to SKYcable or even NBA is no long available on the service.

Here are the HD channels that appear that doesn't include on the HD 549 PLAN
Note: This doesn't include the Free sports channels
HBO hits
Fox Family Movies
Fox HD
HBO Signature
HBO Family
NatGeo Wild
Animal Planet
TVN
Cinemax
History 2
Crime+Investigation
Food Network

Some pay TV operators in Asia like StarHub and NOW TV announced that two channels from NBCUniversal DIVA and E! Will ceased it's broadcast across SEA on December 31. SKYcable has DIVA and E! and I think this will be affected. I think this due to the launch of its own streaming service HayU home to reality TV shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians and the Real Housewives franchise. The streaming service cost only 149 PHP/month. I think there will be more channels will close before the year's end. Is streaming services the cause of why pay TV channels loss it's popularity and sudden shutdown? And is Filipinos has a changing viewing behavior for this?

Bad news for SkyCable on all platforms. The company will renew their Franchise because the old one will end on March 30, 2020. If the Philippine Congress fails to renew, it will be out of business. This will affect all services from Cable TV, Satellite TV and Fiber Broadband. This is why SkyCable didn't offer any Christmas treats last month because of the looming franchise renewal that will last for another 25 years if it passed.

Bad news for SkyCable on all platforms. The company will renew their Franchise because the old one will end on March 30, 2020. If the Philippine Congress fails to renew, it will be out of business. This will affect all services from Cable TV, Satellite TV and Fiber Broadband. This is why SkyCable didn't offer any Christmas treats last month because of the looming franchise renewal that will last for another 25 years if it passed.

I hope it will still be renew...
Will the tv plus black box will also be terminated if ever they cant renew their contract?

The bad thing is the open channels are only on the main box and not on our extra box. Is there a way to fix it when their customer service reps aren't available due to ecq?

another option from IPTV that is legit, less channel than IPTV but better user interface and with on-demand features is subscribe to Sling TV (you would need a smart DNS) ... when I initially cut my cable subscription, I just have an antenna connected to my tv for the local channels and a Sling TV subscription ... it's $35 a month but well worth it if you love to watch sports and other US channels - no issues with buffering or any quirks that IPTV sometimes have, price is just about the same as a premium local cable subscription

Hi there, long time no see. I've been gone for a while now. But now I'm back and I gonna share with you what going on now on SKYcable:
1. DreamWorks on SKYcable - I've been waiting this channels to arrive and on Nov. 1 it finally came. I've been watching DreamWorks channel since it launch and I can finally watch again Dragons: Race to the Edge since I watched this on Netflix when the free trial is still a thing. One thing to note here is when this channel launch here there would be a Filipino dubbed version in SD and an Original English version in HD.  Cignal has this but Sky has both SD and HD in Original English audio. So why Sky decided to not to bring the SD Filipino dubbed channel? And also what Shows are you watching DreamWorks ?

2. Sports on SKYcable - In 2022 sky is giving a plethora of sports channels since Disney/Fox channels ceased their broadcast including Fox Sports. At first in October 2021 new channels include Premier Sports, SpoTV, SpoTV 2, Tap Movies and Tap Action Flix. Three of those are Sports channels. Then in January 2022 Premiere Tennis rebranded to Premiere Sports 2 and BeIn Sports 1 & 3 is now available to selected Sky Cable Plans, they also re incarnate BeInSports 2 to feature Tennis sports including the Australian Open and The French Open. Our HD 549 plan now has 8 sports channels all in HD. That makes Cignal a run for its money when it comes to sports offerings.

3. Global Trekker on Sky? When I visited the Sky website and for updates, I saw what's on Sky this February and one of those is another new channel coming. It's called Global Trekker from the channel that brings you Rock Entertainment, Rock Extreme and ZooMoo. It features lifestyle and documentary shows. I don't when will this channel will launch but one of its shows has been promoted on Global Trekker that will premiere on Feb. 20.

So that all I know so far please comment about my post. I will share more post about SKYcable In 2022.

Looks like Cignal is catching up in their channel offerings. They posted on facebook today they added more channels on selected plans including Premier Sports 2 HD, BeIN Sports 1 & 3 in HD. You can check their website for details.

So how do you compare SkyCable HD 500 vs. Cignal Plan 520 in terms of quality and quantity of their channel content? And what they have and have not in their lineup?

Yung kay EGG, full stop ata for Philippine distribution (since Solar Entertainment ang distribution partner ni ASTRO for this channel).

Ewan ko nalang if may balak pa sila.
Personally though, I would rather na they bring in Animax HD and GEM HD.

Does this mean na mawawala na ang F1 rights permission ni Premier Sports / TAP Media Ventures for 2023?

Or may sharing pa sila? (like what they do sa Singapore)

Tanong pala:
Ano ang pinagkaiba between Sky On Demand Box, Sky All-in Box and yung Sky EVO (which was the latest one launched 2021)?

Also:
Yung mga bagong Skycable box , does it still use the traditional coaxial cable?

Or pure IPTV / internet-based na sya? (e.g. yung TV channels nya are streamed into the box)

I guess this is the end of the road for SkyCable TV service as PLDT reach the agreement to buy 100% of SkyCable Internet service from ABS CBN. Once all the requirements from the government are approved,  the cable tv service will be terminated and only left with its fiber internet service from PLDT. With Pay tv will soon be ceased and the popularity of streaming, I guess I have no choice but to subscribe to Cignal soon. Since I have PLDT home fiber in my house, which is better A Satellite or IPTV and does cignal have DVR function?

Hintay ka nalang muna ng official announcement from SkyCable regarding the status of service......before making any decision.

Ito yung statement from their website:
"Dear SKYcable subscribers,

We wish to inform you of PLDT’s agreement to acquire SKYcable.

While awaiting the required regulatory approvals, we assure you that SKYcable's broadband and cable TV services will continue.

Once approvals are obtained, SKYcable is committed to assisting all its cable TV subscribers to ensure a transition to their preferred service.

Thank you."

I was on Reddit the other day and I post about what why PLDT is willing to buy Sky Internet business and the Ending of its Cable TV service if the PCC gets approval. Only a few comments pops up meaning they don't have interest in that topic. But how about in this community, why is ABS CBN giving up on SKY and why PLDT has so much interest in the first place? Is it when ABS CBN failed to get a franchise or is financial problems like the one that happened to Teleradyo (Which will ceased its broadcast on June 30)?

Also on another topic why is Sky is promoting Rock Entertainment on their social media when in fact they don't have it on the bundle cable tv lineup plans even or on their Sky Select ala carte plans? This is a misleading marketing strategy but I think it has to do with high carriage fees.

SkyCable is continue to dropped some TV channels this month. This year alone we lost AniPlus and K+ on the channel lineup. And this September, aside from Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild ceases their channels on October 1, before that BBC News will ceased transmission on September 24. BBC News has a great run with Sky since its been in the channel lineup for almost 25 years. So sad that another channel will no longer be on the SkyCable channel lineup. And I don't think Sky will launch new channels soon since PLDT will gonna buy Sky assets and ceases is Cable TV division.

Speaking of PLDT, I have a new theory about buying Sky. Since PLDT owns Cignal if the PCC gonna allow to buy, I think SkyCable TV subscribers will switch Cignal service without switching to a cignal box or installing a Satellite. Just a simple channel scan (or maybe provide us with a Cignal Viewing Card insert to the digibox) and you have Cignal tv channels.

SkyCable lost money (ever since the ban of ABS-CBN)

Pero:
The removal of Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild was a decision from Walt Disney International mismo (because they want to promote Disney+ throughout Asia-Pacific)

Still regardless:
AFAIK, SkyCable still has the widest channel lineup among all Pay-TV operators here in the country

So does this means that without ABS CBN broadcast franchise license, is SkyCable will affect too in the long run?  Is ABS CBN lying to consumers on what the state SkyCable headed? When the company said was business as usual on both Cable TV and Internet when in fact in reality they're losing money, how is that possible?

Also the PCC is now reviewing on the  PLDT takeover of SKY. But the question is, will there be a shakeup in Cignal too especially in the Pay TV industry?
Title: Re: SkyCable HD
Post by: Wiggum on Jan 26, 2024 at 07:51 PM
With the PCC approving the acquisition by PLDT, SkyCable has posted this advisory announcing the termination of its cable TV service effective February 27, 2024:

“In anticipation of and pursuant to the closing conditions of the PLDT-SKY acquisition deal, SKY will now begin its transition into a dedicated internet service provider.

With this deal, SKY will discontinue its cable TV operations effective February 27, 2024. The final broadcast and sign-off of SKYcable will be on February 26, 2024 at 11:59pm.

Subscribers of cable TV plans may get information on how these developments will affect your service at this site, through our 24/7 messaging platform KYLA or by visiting any of our SKY Zones and business centers.

All SKY Fiber services will continue, and subscribers will be provided with the same level of service and customer experience.

Thank you for your years of support and for making SKYcable a part of your home.”

Pero if we get a second TV next year, then magpapakabit ako ng GSAT Satellite Dish para dun.

Skycable's closure is a problem for me too, as my mother only watches Skycable's Chinese Pack channels every day. She already has dementia and alzheimer, so she doesn't know how to manipulate around streaming apps or other devices. Alam lang niya yung Skycable. Also, I already paid the bill for the next 6 months, so have to apply for a refund pa. I expect it to be a hassle.

Quote
"ABS-CBN Corporation and PLDT have mutually decided not to proceed with the sale of Sky Cable to PLDT under the Sale and Purchase Agreement signed by and among the parties in March 2023," the company said.

Sky Cable has begun to notify its cable TV subscribers that their cable TV subscriptions can continue.

^Probably ABS-CBN's financial outlook has improved that they no longer has a need to dispose of it. I think cable tv  fits into their long term plan of eventually getting a broadcasting franchise again. They also have a niche that is hard for others to serve. There are many condos that do not have  optical fiber wiring thus can only support cable internet. Many condos also forbid satellite dishes as these are unsightly.

   Meanwhile, nabasa ko online, ayaw daw kunin ng cignal yung ANC ng sky. Conflict sa sarili nila news channel. Kaya pala may nilabas na ANC prestige sa youtube. May bayad na ₱99 per month to watch their content. Pero not worth it for me kasi konti lang naman pinapanood ko doon.

matagal-tagal na akong walang cable subscription.  News at sporting events lang naman ang need panoorin ng live if ever.  Ang news, madami na din ang nag livestream.  Sa sporting events naman, very few and far between ang inaabangan ko, usually pag may laban ang Gilas at finals lang siguro ng NBA and I haven't followed the PBA since the late 90s siguro, so it doesn't really make sense to get a monthly subscription.

Parang ako. I just had Cignal dish installed last Sunday, kasi nga akala ko mawawala na Sky. Mas malinaw HD ng Sky (Cignal has digital "artifacts") and had more HD channels on the same price plan. Now, I have "buyer's remorse". Well, kasalanan din ng Sky, madami rin siguro tulad ko na lumipat na. The only saving grace is that I have NBA and other local basketball channels in HD, plus BBC (na nawala sa Sky).

Hello there, I'm very happy that SkyCable TV services didn't ceased it's operations. I was so close to subscribe to Cignal IPTV but eventually at the last minute the PLDT  takeover of Sky didn't occur last Feb. 22.
But while SkyCable is business as usual, two channels are gone as of March 1. They ceased their broadcast yesterday Feb. 29. Channel 81 is Telenovela Channel and another channel is I'm really happy to see it gone is Sky Chinese Entertainment Channel on Ch. 98. This channel has a VHS quality broadcast and operated since Sky launch in 1992 and after 32 years it's gone for good. Good riddance to that crappy channel. But why Sky continued that channel until Feb. 29?

And also there is another channel has been popped up recently, Front Row (Ch. 51 but it read Reserved) dedicated to live concerts bit the broadcast and audio are potato quality it's like broadcast it from VLC player.

I don't know if SkyCable gets new channels now the takeover merger is cancelled. And how about that high Debt, will this company survive?

I hope Converge is our only hope for this.

dati yung sa digital box ng abs-cbn ang ginawa ko eh bumili ako ng baron outdoor antenna, position mo lang kung saan makakuha ng malakas na signal.

pero nung may mga digital tuner na yung mga TVs namin, bumili lang ako ng 5 meters na digital tv antenna (same lang duon sa kasama ng affordabox), then nilagay ko din sa labas ng bahay kung saan may malakas na kuha ng signal at sa nde na uulanan & naarawan. yung sa may dining area nga namin na tv kahit na nde sa labas ng bahay, malapit lang sa bintana eh ok naman.
