Ok naman SD channels sa 42 inch plasma ko naka 16:9 ... siguro nakakadagdag din talaga yung HDbox ng sky ... hindi ko pa kasi nasubukan yung hindi 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

noticed this after auto programming a couple of days ago.

Nice to know the launch date now. Sky didn't know the other day. Do you know what package they will be included in? All In Pack? or A La Carte?

internal pa lang kasi yan ng sky. hehehe. pero di sya kasama sa all in and ala carte. kasama sya sa plan DIAMOND 999 : SD Channels (Essentially the Silver lineup excluding Animax, Velvet, Biography, Nat Geo Wild, Telenovela, Fox Crime, KBS World, Channel News Asia, CEC, Arirang, CSpan Worldnet) and 12 HD Channels (HBO Asia, Star World, Fox Movies Premium, National Geographic, Fox Sports Plus, Fox Family Movies, Fox, Fox Crime, Universal, SYFY, CNN, Food Network.

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.

Kailan kaya yan e launch?
Any update nga sa two new hd channels?  Sana naman mag ala carte sila..

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...

Sana gumawa kayo ng all in hd as in literally all in hd nga sya...

Sky Cables New Dual Def Package





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.

Yes, Sundance HD and Cinema World HD are NOT included in the All in Pack. Those channels are only available in the HD Movie Pack or ala carte at P150 per channel, per month

Called up sky today and requested for an upgrade from plan280 to dual def 499. I have an existing HD box, fortunately no installation fee was required. Upgrading will be done tonight when I got home.

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)

Sulit talaga yan kaya lang malabo kang ma approve kasi pa downgrade ka from 579 to 499. kaya tapusin mo na muna yung lock in period. thanks
