Do you think the PVR can only record the HD channels or pati SD?
From the youtube demo, parang puro HD lang yata...

I really want the PVR as well, although I heard it may cost around 10k+ to obtain one, you can get it through a lease option though, which means, a rental fee for the PVR will be added on your bill.

Pwede kaya itrade yung existing HD Digibox? Hehehehe. That's 5k less din if ever. :D

The PVR should be able to record SD channels as well as HD ones.  Sky would be crazy to release a PVR that could only record the 9 or so HD channels :D

Cool!  I've been waiting for something like this.  I wonder if it can receive, store and play HD videos from external sources too (Camera, USB devices, etc).

ASN is currently on preview for free on SkyCable's Platinum Preview channel 60 until Jan. 31. You need the Digibox to be able to view it.

ASN is only available as an ala-carte/add-on channel. You can subscribe and add it to any SkyCable package.
It has a lock-in period of 1 month though. You can avail it now just in time before the SuperBowl.

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.
