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..
and im a "maam" :D

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.

hi!  is it possible to output 720p from the HD box?  my output is 1080p but i want to have the option to set it to 720p but can't seem to find how to do it. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

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 :-(

Tanung lang mga pre.

May subscription ako dual-def 999 sa house 1, lockin period p.  Papalagay ako ng dual-def 499 sa house 2.

pwede ko b pagpalitin yung hdbox para sa house 2 yung plan 999 at 499 na yung house 1?

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

Salamat.

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.

Question po sa mga naka Dual Def na 1799 per month, the Skycable website says this plan has 30 HD channels and 20 local channels.  Does this mean it only has 20 SD channels?

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.

Ibig sabihin ng left, sa left speaker lng ng tv ka may maririnig. Right, sa right speaker lng meron at yung both, sa left and right na speaker ka may maririnig.
