Best is organize your channels using Fav function... Or simply memorize the channel..

thanks skyhog., kala ko ako lang may ganitong issue on my hd box.

oreoshake - favorites is an option, but I think the HD box has a firmware issue because the SD box isn't recovering deleted channels on it's own. Otherwise, the "delete" function shouldn't be on the remote at all if it doesn't work properly.

Dun sa Panasonic Plasma naming, walang sound when using HDMI, so I had to hook up a separate speaker to the HD box.  Sabi ng sky, compatibility issue daw with the TV.  Anyone else having this issue?   Just wanted to check.

I'm very pleased with the addition of History HD and Bio HD to the Dual Def 999 plan.  Yung dati, sulit na yung History SD kasi I love watching Pickers, Kings or Restoration, Pawn Stars.  Last weekend, nagsawa ako dun sa Storage Wars marathon sa Bio HD.

Kay esmi naman tuwang tuwa siya sa Warner TV HD, Travel HD, and Lifestyle HD.  Crime and Investigation HD na lang ang gusto niya.  Available kaya for add-on siya?  Dati  yung SD kasi P20 per month as add-on.  I've not tried calling their Customer Care Hotline yet...

hi folks, ask ko lang if anyone has experienced this on their HD box. I currently have a dual def 499 plan so syempre, I don't have all the channels available. So what I did was to delete the other channels that I don't have so I don't have to keep passing through those channels when I'm browsing channels looking for something to watch.

Kaso ang problema, the channels that I've already deleted keep coming back the next day. I have 2 sky boxes, one is SD the other one is HD. I've had the SD box for a couple of years now, never naman bumalik yung channels once I delete them. For the HD box, bumabalik lagi kahit ano gawin ko. I even reported this to Sky and they exchanged the HD box for another one but ganon pa rin.

Does anyone have the same experience on their HD boxes? I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription because of this, but may lock-in period of 3 years for dual def plans according to sky which I have to pay php3k daw if I want to cancel my subscription.


I'm under Dual Def 499 plan as well and I don't have the same experience with deleted channels. What I've deleted stayed deleted naman. I don't unplug my HD box, could it be the reason? Do you unplug your HD box?

I applied for dual def today, unfortunately audit pa daw bago makabitan.

When I gave the rep our address, meron na daw kasi subscriber with the same address as ours.

Medyo magulo kasi numbering ng maliit na street namin and our apartments has numbers din...

Gano kaya katagal process? May pupunta daw engineering something to check the area... pero the rep can't give exact date and time..

Baka lang some of you has the same experience... paano naging process at gaano katagal?

TY

^ No, it's a different plan from Silver or Gold plans. In my case, when I applied for Dual Def, my Gold plan was terminated.

You pay only the installation fee of P350 - I also just upgraded from Silver to dual def 999 last month. But there's a 1 year lock up period for the HD set top box to be free. I also had 1 additional HD set top box 2 weeks after, for my son's room, again, only paid the installation fee of P350, but additional P250 each month, lock up for 18 months. Realized now how poor Sky Cable's marketing is in not communicating more clearly and broadly how easy and cheap it is to convert to dual def!

Unfortunately there's no way to connect other TVs except to get additional boxes for each TV. Well, technically you can install splitters yun nga lang all the TVs will show the same channel :-)

Hi, you don't need to go to a branch to avail PPV. You just need to call Sky. And when you do, make sure you call them from your home, they will ask you some info printed at the back of your HD box. They will also ask you to change the channel to 195 and you need to confirm once you see something is shown.

The last time i availed a ppv from them i pay the subscription fee and fill up a form on their office. Well, it's just a few steps lang naman from our home to their office here in laguna. So i can drop by naman.

Got a text from them last Friday.. They currently have this promo valid till November 1st.. P499 (HD). November 2nd onwards, P999 na.

^ No, it's a different plan from Silver or Gold plans. In my case, when I applied for Dual Def, my Gold plan was terminated.

Sir, ang plan ko talaga was Gold plus P1999 na Dual Def.. Since hindi pwede, meron bang iba na way para makakuha pa din ako ng SD channels ng Gold? How about through Select? Tyia

^ yes, through select. In my case, when I changed my plan from Gold to Dual Def 499, we added Disney Jr., Nick Jr., and History Channel. All SD channels.

However, Sky recently added History HD, so we called to cancel History SD. But according to Sky, no need na daw since History SD has become a regular channel line-up for Dual Def.

Which channels from Gold do you like added? There are several plans in Dual Def, you may want to check their respective channel line-ups.
