Skycable used to have the best sports and news lineup, particularly after they bought out Destiny. 

They don't seem to understand that the only way cable can survive in the era of streaming is on broadcasting live events, like sports and news. Niche programming also contributes but the biggest draw in the past, movies and tv shows, are no longer the draw today.

SkyCable's decision makers need to get their business model out of the 90's.

I strongly agree with you.. ng naglabasan ung mga streming service like netflix, iflix etc.. bihira na din ako manood ng cable tv.. usually ginagamit ko nalang cable tv  pag nanonood ng news and sports.. thats why i think mas tama ung ginagawa ng cignal na to focus more on sports shows...

In the US, cable TV is expensive and the culprit is Live sports programs. Sports is the most expensive TV genre in terms of revenue. License fees, advertising and income from sports players and sports organizations contributed to the high cost of cable bills in the US. For the Average American rising cable cost seems too much and they began cut the cord and find alternatives like SVOD and Live TV streaming from the internet.
This is why Cignal can't add more channels because of the cost of Sports Programs from NBA to PBA because there expensive to distribute. And this is why Cignal don't have HD versions off AXN, Disney channel, Discovery etc.. and stuck with the regular SD channels.
Sky on the other hand is playing safe by adding new Channels despite removing Solar Channels last year. And some Sports channels decided to make it ala Carte to keep the basic base tv package cost low.

Speaking of the above.

I heard *daw* na moving forward, all new subscriptions will be on bundled packages (e.g. One Sky platform na Pay TV + internet etc etc.). Wala na standalone package na TV-only or whatnot.

And looking at the pictures above, napaisip ako:
Does that mean all Sky Pay TV related services will be IPTV-based?

Kumbaga, hindi na traditional coaxial cable ang gagamitin nya?

And that's a concern...........kasi from the last time, shared ang bandwidth ng Sky for both Pay TV and general internet usage. Kumbaga, kung may malakas gumamit ng net gamit ang Sky connection, then chop-chop and buffering yung Pay TV viewing.

Unlike sa Cignal via PLDT Fiber Optic na kahit gaano kalakas ang net usage, hindi madadamay ang TV viewing (kasi dedicated bandwidth).

Can anyone care to comment? :)

Separate pa rin yung digital tv signals sa cable from the broadband signals. Fixed yung bandwidth na naka-assign sa  broadband, separate from cable tv.

Update
The HD fedd of Metro Channel returns after a temporary SD feed of Metro Channel on Ch. 174. I think this is the cause when Liga HD coverage of the World Cup suddenly went black.

Also Asianovela channel and Movie Central (ch. 77 & 78 test broadcast) are not moving forward to launch these channels. They are now scrapped and went back as a reserved Channel. Along with ASN which was ceased on July 6.

Same here. I just upgraded my 16mbps to 25mbps (which is cheaper by P100). I don't know if you also subscribe to their cable but I subscribe to both. What I did was get Nexflix, then downgraded from cable plan 999 to 299. I only watch the news and live sports. Besides, I watch live stream naman din since inalis na rin ng Sky ang NBA Premium kaya lalong naging useless ang cable.

Do you remember when Asianovela and Movie Central appear on SkyCable but nothing on it. Well turns out that these channels will be available soon on ABS CBN TV plus DTT Platform. It will also include MYX, Jeepney TV and O Shopping on the lineup come July 30.  Those three mentioned are now available on SKY.

Also i would love to see more pictures of the OneSKY digibox from what it performs to easy access to YouTube and netflix. And why didn't advertised yet?

Medyo unrelated, but i am loving France24 on channel 238. Wala kasi akong BBC, so ito yung magandang alternative for a more european perspective on the news. Tsaka it's in english so no need for subtitles. Nakakatawa lang na panay 15 minutes lang ang mga shows. Parang geared towards people with ADHD.

Short news clips to cover headlines for viewers who can only afford short viewing time. Still, does not replace the splendid BBC documentaries.

two weeks na akong "no input signal". send them a tweet to look at it. sabi within 24-72 hours may pupunta. hay nako, wala pumunta. pinadisconnect ko na yung dual def 549 na subscription ko sa asar.

july 29 pa wala signal ko. binayaran ko na lang din yung aug 2018 billing ko kahit wala akong service na nakuha since august na nung magrequest ako ng termination ng subscription. aba, kailangan pa daw magbayad ng 356 pesos for disconnection fee.

ibang klase talaga itong Sky Cable.

bumili na lang ako ng Easy TV. ayun, may History, NBA, BTV etc.

His anyone have a problem with cable signals lately? The one that having no signal when watching when it's on? Well I learn something during their cable maintenance. The problem is that cable wires can deteriorate over time when it gets old and tempered. Another culprit is that their using a different type of cable wire normally Rj59 which is the old cable wire that used in the old days in cable tv. When use it on digital cable, this where it happens when you get no signal or pixilated because of too much bandwidth. There solution, replace the old Rj59 with RJ6 coaxial cable wires. This wire  is very thick it will eliminate distortion signals from cable TV and High speed internet and very suitable for HDTV. Ask your cable maintenance to replace your old cable wires to a new one with RJ6 coaxial.

^Nawala yung BTV and ang naka post na advisory sa channel is "We are checking with Solar about the status of the channel feed". Thankfully may NBA Premium TV pa naman. Wag naman sana paasa 'tong Sky.
