Even of they did, and if i were in to it, id rather get my fix through torrent or streaming. Not safe to have around the house. LOL!

Anyway, just to share a different story; I upgraded my original Plan dual def 549 to dual def 999 and added several channels via the Sky Select program. with all the additional channels ive added, im now enjoying a wider and better channel lineup than my Cignal plan 1590 (actually 1690 coz of the plus 100 thing). I now have more SD and HD channels. Will call them tomorrow to request for and additional digibox for my bedroom.

So my monthly for Sky will come up to P1660. A little less than what im paying with cignal, and with a way better channel line up now.

I called Cignal to cancel my account with them. I really should have done his a long time ago.

better late than never. hehe. great decision. Di naman talaga worth ang Cignal. Problem mo pa pag may bagyo. Atleast with Sky, sarap manood, no pesky Cignal logo on every channel at more channels pa habang umuulan  ;D

btw just noticed that ABS HD put "Test Broadcast" under the logo. sana soon pati TV Patrol HD na and not just upscaled. And sana GMA-7 sumunod na rin soon, it's about time!

Was able to watch parts of the Astros game because I was shifting channels between their game and the Texans game on ASN. Great pitching by McHugh followed by the bullpen!

Thank God for this free week of FoxHD! I was planning to add-on the channel solely to watch the MLB playoffs. Now I don't have to do it 'til next week.

Go Astros!!!

You asked: kung mag DualDef 549, gaganda ba yung SD channels
-> SD signals/channel will still be SD
-> HD signal/channel is you need to see and experience the BIG difference

Currently subscribed sa GOLD 1100 (with Sky Cable Skyworth STB C7600R - Standard Definition).........pero I'm thinking of upgrading one box into HD I-record (sabi daw 399 Pesos per box one-time fee including installation).

Sabi daw kaya nila within 3-5 days so tamang-tama before matapos yung Free Channel Promotion on October 18th, Sunday.

Also
I'm studying the idea of changing from GOLD 1100 -> DUAL DEF 999

I still have to check kung anong channels ang mawawala sa amin if ever magswitch kami mula GOLD 1100 to DUAL DEF 999

Thankfully some channels that will be lost can be brought back again via SELECT:
-Animax SD - PHP50/month
-Cinemax HD - PHP75/month (walang Cinemax SD sa select so this is the only way Cinemax can be brought back afaik)
-Nat Geo Wild SD and/or HD (SD feed features Tagalog voice narration - costs PHP20/month ; HD feed features 100% English voice narration PERO available lang ata sya via FOX PACK or HD40 Pack)
-Screen RED by HBO SD - PHP 50/month
-Discovery Channel SD - PHP 50/month
-Animal Planet SD - PHP 50/month
-Channel V SD - PHP 20/month
-KBS World - only available via a Korean Pack
-Arirang - only available via a Korean Pack
-Channel News Asia - PHP 20/month
-CNBC - PHP 100/month
-Fox News - PHP20/month
-Discovery Kids SD - PHP50/month

Ang dami rin mawawala huhu  :-\ :'(

For those of you on a dual def plan - when you request for an extension or additional outlet, they still issue you an HD box (not SD only) right?

Go with 999. Sulit yung mga dagdag na channels nya compared to 549.
999 is my base plan, tapos added a few channels via SKY SELECT.

Depended po sa request nyo(extra Digibox/TV),  you can either request for SD or HD box with 1-time installment fee (SD install fee = 350php VS HD install fee = 1,299php) pero yung monthly fee pareho lang 250php.
- The choice is yours,  if you have an extra HDTV then it would be practical to request for the HDbox to enjoy HD quality picture. (pero kung hindi HD ready yung TV like the old CRT TV then the SD box will do)

BTW: prices may change,  inquire po kayo via hotline baka meron silang ongoing Discount/Promo

Yung current HD box namin parang standby button lang yung power switch nya. Pag pinatay mo yung switch, mawawala lang yung display sa TV tsaka mapapalitan ng time yung display sa front LCD nya. Pero alam mo na online pa talaga yung unit kasi warm pa rin kahit di ginagamit tsaka instant ang display channel pagpindot ulit ng switch. Unlike pag binunot talaga sa saksakan mga 1 minute and boot up time kasi mag check pa ng smartcard etc. Kaya sinaksak ko na rin sa AVR ng TV, kaso madalas nakakalimutang patayin sa gabi hehe
