Mukhang ganun na nga ang gagawin ko.  add-on na lang ng NBA Premium hehe.
Sulit ba yung ASN Channel? regular bang may NFL games?

If you're into NFL, sulit talaga ang ASN, 4 live games and 4 extra games as far as I remember, so that's 8 a week :).. Although pag naalala ko free lang to before sa solar sports before.. :)

Para sakin mas ok parin ang dual def 999, had my titanium pack downgraded to 999, ina away ako ng mga kasama ko sa house, nawala ang cinema1 nila....

Hahaha..Samin din hinahanap Cinema One after I upgraded our plan to Dual-Def Titanium.  >:D

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.  :)

Yun lang.  :(

Pwede na din pala gawing add-on yung Titanium HD. Pero okay na ako sa current plan ko, at least for now...  ;D

pwede po ba ito?
Ang alam ko Dual Def Plan 499/999 is using SkyHD Cable box at pwedeng i-avail na add-ons are Revo Pack, Innovation Pack etc.
Yung Plan280 is using SD cable box at available add-on nya is Sky Select.
Kung pwede yung Plan280+Revo Pack I think they need to replace your SD Cable Box with SkyHD Cable Box.

Ganyan din nangyayari sakin. Nakakabwisit nga kapag gusto mo magrecord ka tapos iiwanan mo yung digibox tapos pagbalik hindi pala siya narecord kasi nag hang yung digibox, tapos yung palabas na yun di ulit ipapalabas :(

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

For me kung habol mo HD channels mas ok ang ganyang plan kasi yung revo pack meron na ngayong 9 HD channels compare sa dual def 6 HD?

Good days for sky cable connections without a digibox are over. I noticed today that you can only get abscbn if you don't have a digibox. Mag we-welga mga kasambahay namin.

Sa inyo, what channels can you get without a digibox?

Our building is still analog since all the cablings in our condo is still old (R59) and can't carry the hd signal. our building admin refuses to have the whole building (28 stories) recabled hence we're the only building in our area that's analog in signal, all other buildings/hotels are HD already. 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. No NBA tv, etc. Sky won't even give me a rebate.

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,

Dual def 499 here, once nag inquire ako for 2nd HDbox para s second TV, one time payment is 3k plus. un 350 ay for SD box. That was early this year and im not sure if may changes. Pls update n lang sir!
