Wow, Global Destiny is dying a slow, painful death.

It started when they lost their Star Channels.

After which, they lost AXN.

Then they brought in some general entertainment South African feeds, but also lost them after a few weeks.

This month, they lost their "exclusive" ETC/Sports Plus rights, so this is no longer a consideration for people selecting a cable provider.

Two weeks ago, they lost WOWOW.

Today I discover they also just lost Tech TV.

As a result, next month, they lose at least one more subscriber.

Sorry, guys. $:-\$

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #92 on:** May 29, 2004 at 07:42 PM »

ya forgot to mention they also lost "NOW".

actually... they didn't lose techTV.

it's more like, techTV died! yup, wala na po siyang asian feed. techTV was recently purchased and merged with G4 (a gaming channel.) as a result, a lot of its shows have also folded up (including their flagship show: call for help!!!)

before we finally give global destiny the axe, we'll probably be waiting to see if G4techTV makes an appearance. if it sucks (or doesn't show completely), then i guess we have no choice but to finally let go. $:-\$

kawawa naman ang pinoy-owned cable na ito. walang ginawa ang ntc to stop the monopoly of sky/home.

the only reason why i am still a destiny subscriber is to have broadband internet.... and to think their cable internet service sucks too....

it is so pathetic in our area... called up the following broadband providers:

eastern dsl ---> they don't service our area
sky dsl ---> they don't service our area
sky cable internet ---> they don't service our area
bayantel dsl ---> they don't service our area
globe dsl ---> they don't service our area
now cable internet ---> they don't service our area

pldt dsl ---> still no response after a month. but when i tried to apply about 2 years ago i was informed that their dsl service in our area is not available cos of the wiring or something... damn...

good news, i just read in the business section of inquirer last friday,the ntc has ordered the star channel to offer its channels to global destiny. at last.

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #96 on:** Jun 11, 2004 at 03:26 AM »

and wowow returns to destiny!

firestorm · « **Reply #97 on:** Jun 20, 2004 at 01:35 PM »

I can't understand why they call it Global Destiny but the channels they offer are not the same.

Global has these channels that Destiny don't carry
AXN
NOW
ESPN
Star Sports

while Destiny has the ff
Disney Channel
Nickolodeon
Discovery Travel and Adventure
Channel V
CNBC
Solar USA
Fox News Network
Tech TV (before it got sold to G4)

If they really combined all their channels they would have a good lineup.

Good luck!

Enforcement?

NTC can give all the order it wants but I still wonder how they will enforce it.

hmm... was it last night? i think it was two days ago when this started. at least that's when i noticed wowow was gone.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #102 on:** Jan 13, 2005 at 03:10 PM »

What channel is AXN on?

Don_Camote · « **Reply #103 on:** Jan 13, 2005 at 03:20 PM »

you may be right SPaCeMaN SPiFF. It's just that last night lang ako nag try manood and I was surprised to find something else. Tell you what, I actually called Global Destiny (yeah I'm idle a lot) a few minutes ago and they said they did not remove it in their line-up, they are trying to sort it daw with the Wowow their "technical problem" which the rep told me could be 2 months before they can get it back on line.

Mr. Hankey, AXN is on 24 on Global Destiny.

What channel is AXN on?

same channel as everyone else... channel 24.

it replaced that awful japanese wrestling channel which only remotely got interesting when joanie laurer was on ... and those infamous "maca" infommercials that puts wowow's "romance" (read "P-O-R-N") block to shame. LOL.

Papaber · « **Reply #106 on:** Feb 28, 2005 at 09:55 PM »

Good news. Wowow is back. Noticed it last weekend. Signal is also better.

halvert · « **Reply #107 on:** Mar 01, 2005 at 08:21 PM »

what about axn? can't seem to find it on channel 24.

Battousai · « **Reply #108 on:** Mar 04, 2005 at 10:34 PM »

Yeah, WoWoW is back!!!
And just in time, coz last night, I saw an anime series from the creator of Slam Dunk. It's called Buzzer Beater. How I wish they had subs. LOL.

Don_Camote · « **Reply #109 on:** Mar 22, 2005 at 08:49 AM »

I wonder what this is about...

From http://money.inq7.net/topstories/view_topstories.php?yyyy=2005&mon=03&dd=21&file=11

THE MOTION Pictures Association, a global group representing the American film industry, has asked the National Telecommunications Commission to penalize Destiny Cable Inc. for piracy.

"The Motion Pictures Association filed a case with us against Destiny. They want us to impose administrative sanctions," NTC Chairman Ronald Solis told reporters.

Solis said the movie association complained that the local cable operator had been airing movies not covered by any commercial agreement.

But the NTC chief said it would have to ask the court whether the commission has the jurisdiction to decide on cases involving violations of intellectual property rights.

"We have to wait for the court to decide whether it is us or the IPO [Intellectual Property Office] that should handle the complaint," Solis said.

"The NTC has an understanding with the IPO to assist in the enforcement of the IPR laws here. But since cable is the medium of piracy in this case, we are asserting our jurisdiction," the NTC chief explained.

With the disappearance of the MNET channels and Wowow from their lineup, there's really little reason for anyone to stick with Destiny.

As much as I appreciate "Turner Classic Movies," I have a feeling its "Test Broadcast" is currently yet another illegal feed, and it'll probably also disappear from the cable service provider in the near future.

I can't maintain 450/month for just... "Fox News."

hi.may i know the channel lineup of destiny?their website is not up to date.

dulber32 · « **Reply #112 on:** Feb 10, 2006 at 12:42 AM »

There's a 450/month plan? I just got a flyer that says 500/month for roughly 90 channels.
I thought that was already cheap. How is the signal nowadays of Destiny cable?

Don_Camote · « **Reply #113 on:** Feb 10, 2006 at 09:59 AM »

Yup it's 500 a month. 1 month free if you pay 6 mos advance. 2 mos free if you pay 1 year advance.

Their website was revamped and only talks about their broadband service.

As much as I can recall from memory this is what they have at the moment:

Local channels,

News:
CNN, BBC, FoxNews, ABC (Australia), VOA

Business News:
CNBC, Bloomberg

Documentary:
Discovery, Animal Planet, Discovery Travel & Living, Living Asia,

Sports:
Sports Plus, ESPN, Star Sports

Movies:
HBO, Hallmark, PBO, there is a new one showing classic movies

Show for Kids:
Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network

Variety/Others:
Reality TV
Jack TV
ETC
Crime/Suspense
Adventure TV
Fashion TV
Videoke

choices of Religious, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean & European channels.

dulber32 · « **Reply #114 on:** Feb 10, 2006 at 10:54 PM »

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm having the service installed Monday.
Last time I had cable service in my other Makati home it took a day or so to complete the application and installation.
It required an installation fee and a visit to their offices for processing. (That was with Sky)
Now they come to your place with the application and contract, prepay a small amount and install the cable.
All in less than 30mins (according to the sales agent). Great!

None of the above. And to correct an earlier post, there's no ESPN nor Star Sports, either.

But TCM has moved to a lower channel, so it might be here to stay.

ETC 2nd Avenue is on Channel 116.
