Ipapalabas ba sa ESPN yung coverage ng olympics?

I think may separate channels yung Olympics at 2500 :(

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.

Sa sulit.com ginagawa ng negosyo ang pagdodownload ng mga tv series, movies, concert etc.. sa sobrang dami nila halos pababaan na sila ng presyo.. meron ng 500 pesos lang loaded n ang 2 TB HDD mo... sa 2 TB na HDD halos 350-400movies na mailalagay dun... isipin mo mas mura pa kung bibibili ka ng mga pirated dvd... magastos lang bumili ng Media player P 3,000 pesos plus P 5,000 sa internal HDD loaded na yun ng 350 movies pag nagsawa pa download ng bago,,, or kung trip mo mag collect another HDD di ba.. mura parin keysa bumilika ng mga Blu ray Dics.. or mga original na HD DVD

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.

I think that is the problem of sky, they don't inform the customers properly. Their website is just so confusing to me. Parang they don't even update it. Either that or I'm looking at the wrong website of sky or confused talaga ako. :D ;D. Panalo sa akin website ng Cignal, very informative (channel summary and charting is very nice).

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

I agree na mas ok ang HD media player compared sa bluray pero iba pa rin yung may HD ka sa cable specially sa mga live sports events.

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.

I paid 2500 to watch the Olympics, sulit naman with 4 HD channels dedicated 24/7 to the games for 17 days. Was surprised to discover all HD channels from 164 to 184 are all operating.

Just press Exit on your remote before it auto searches.

I did that pero panay prompt pa rin and you cannot directly access the channel by number if you skip autosearch.

Unti unti nang nascramble ung mga HD channels. Nagulat din ako at biglang kumpleto HD channels ko. Mukhang patikim lang hehe. Sarap pala ng madaming HD channels.

Meron pa. History channel(25), anc(27), beeTV(35) at animax(44). Wala yan sa plan280 pero meron sa analog.
Ang wala sa Analog na meron naman sa plan280 eh BTV at yung channels beyond Cinema One(56)

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.
