my only problem about the new channels is that i have to manually search and store them. my philips tv can't automatically search and store, because if it does, it assigns its own channel numbers! but i'm willing to do the dirty work, for the new channels.

of the foreign channels, i like BS1, Wowow and ETTV.

Hey maybe this is what happened on my TV. I programmed it last Saturday tapos nagpapalit palit ng channel assignments. Or did Global Destiny really change the channel assignments themselves? Ang gulo but. . .OK lang.

Isn't AXN already part of the line-up? I think I saw it last Saturday. Or was that Friday? Anyways, I do hope so. It's one of my favorite foreign channels.

AXN was at channel 30 before but I think they changed it again as I couldn't find it. Their random channel reassignments are like a weird version of musical chairs.

Best bet would be to go over to their schedules channel. (Syet, pati yon di ko na maalala- - -hindi naman ata nagbago) Although medyo nakaka-alarma lang ng konti to see so few channels at present. Temporary lang to , I would hope.

I've been looking all over for Wowow. For the benefit of the other Destiny subscribers here who are having the same difficulties, can someone post its channel assignment?

It's on channel 56 as of yesterday. So far I've seen Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Spiderman and Bring It On.

Glad I stayed with destiny. They have this new mandarin movie channel called ettv on channel 58 where I watched Stephen Chow's King of Comedy last night. Too bad Hollywood HK did not have english subs when it was shown. Now I have an alternative to the mei-ah movie channel

I noticed that cetv is gone from the new channel line-up. I'll surely miss inside entertainment.
Another thing I'm excited about is that cnbc aired a jay leno episode last night, followed by an old episode of Sat Night Live. Hope this will be a regular thing. Am also wondering if conan will be shown too.

I actually did that last weekend but even the channel lineup is radically different from what is actually programmed.

saw it too... funny... (but IMO still not as funny as the late 80's early 90's cast. nina dana carvey, phil hartman, et. al.)

sana daily na ulit yung jay leno... i miss those days na araw-araw sya.

Could it actually have something to do with our TVs, 'cause I just noticed that the auto-program manages to exclude free channels, too? I doubt it, tho. Hopefully this transition period will be over pretty soon . . . and also those channels without signals will be up and running, too. (Hopefully, too, Wowow starts showing Battle Royale 2 soon. I did have a blast watching Harry Potter dubbed in Japanese, made the movie very watchable actually.

Wowow channel = ch 56

AXN was pulled out sometime over the weekend. It was originally at ch 30. Per their updated channel guide, no AXN, ESPN, Solar Sports or any of the Star channels yet.

The channel guide in Ch 3 or 4 is now fairly accurate so you can use it for reference.

I have a Philips TV. I don't automatically get new channels, unless they are placed in channels (and therefore, frequencies) I already have before. For example, I immediately got AXN because Ch 30 was already occupied by the Profit Watch channel. Same thing with ETTV on Ch 18 (before it got transferred to Ch 58). On the other hand, I had to manually search for Wowow and BS1, because they were placed in channels I didn't have before (initially at ch 89 and 90). But I don't think this is common to all TVs. Kasi my old Panasonic automatically recognized all new channels. Ewan ko nga ba.

X44 · « **Reply #40 on:** Nov 04, 2003 at 04:58 PM »

Wow, so wala na naman palang AXN? Syet! Oh well. . . my only prob with not having AXN is that I couldn't watch CSI Miami from my room. Guess now I'll have to watch it from the living room, which is Sky.

euphyx · « **Reply #41 on:** Nov 05, 2003 at 01:35 PM »

so far i counted 5 channels on color bars and with a "reserved (coming soon)" tag. i hope they could accomodate every channel they promised. pero star network pa lang kulang na eh (star movies, star world, star sports, espn, ngc, etc.). paano na ang axn at solar sports?

tonedeaf · « **Reply #42 on:** Nov 08, 2003 at 10:12 AM »

Is it just me or are we now getting the Japanese "version" of the wowow channel? All movies are now dubbed in Japanese, instead of English audio with Japanese subtitles. darn.

ang tagal ng solar, star and espn

I like WOWOW.

i was avidly awaiting jay leno on cnbc pero puro business news ang palabas last saturday. bakit kaya?

Don_Camote · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 10, 2003 at 03:36 PM »

Halvert,

Leno was on last night at CNBC, I think it was around 11pm na.

tonedeaf · « **Reply #47 on:** Nov 15, 2003 at 12:06 PM »

It's Nov. 15, still no new channels.

halvert · « **Reply #48 on:** Nov 19, 2003 at 03:57 PM »

meanwhile, i was waiting for snl and jay leno last saturday at walang sound ang cnbc! meanwhile, wala pa ring star... hinaharang ba ng sky?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 03, 2003 at 07:48 PM »

They currently have a channel called Hollywood on Channel 21. It's showing the Matthew Broderick-Meg Ryan film Addicted to Love, with Chinese subtitles and Chinese commercials.

Who knows if it's going to last, though...

acidburn · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 03, 2003 at 08:53 PM »

they had that channel in SKycable sa baguio. It could possibly be another pirated signal.

ive watched diabolique earlier on hollywod channel 21

tonedeaf · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 04, 2003 at 12:07 AM »

Thanks for the heads up re channel 21.

I love channel 52! Apart from IBC 13, it's the only channel showing NBA games.

Kelan kaya Solar Sports? or the Star channels? Magkakaroon pa kaya?

Looks like there's a glitch in Destiny's matrix....

BS-1! I really missed this channel when Sky pulled it several years ago. They're also great during Wimbledon, with their commercial-free coverage.

what happened to techTV? biglang nawala... :'(

wala na techtv ang destiny?! that sucks since it's one of the reasons i'de switch back to destiny.

Might just be temporary, while they do adjustments. Reality TV was also off the air for a few days last week, but now it's back.

We'll keep you posted.

demented_angel · « **Reply #57 on:** Dec 04, 2003 at 11:08 PM »

im sure it will be back after a few days, last nite while i was watching they had some major technical difficulties

SPaCeMaN SPiFF · « **Reply #58 on:** Dec 05, 2003 at 07:54 AM »

yup... i hope so too...

ang dapat ayusin nila ay yung AdventureOne channel... very baaaaaad reception... laging may "blips" and "pixelation" pa... $:-\$

really enjoying the hollywood channel tho... (sana lang mahanapan nila ng paraan matanggal yung chinese subtitles... they can get pretty distracting sometimes.)

Don_Camote · « **Reply #59 on:** Dec 09, 2003 at 03:11 PM »

They will be showing the following premium channels soon...

NBA League pass - for a whole season of NBA, 24 hours a day (kung hindi pa kayo nagsasawa sa NBA) at a cost of 1,390 pesos -- good for a whole NBA season na yan.

Plus, Playboy channel

and Wowow Movies (iba pa sa Wowow channel 56) at a premium of course pero di ko alam magkano.

Of course if it's premium, you will need to buy set-top boxes which would be around 1k-2k pesos.
