Bumping up. Latest news: Star channels back on Sky Cable.

Is this true? I was thinking to switching to destiny or maybe global? When was this announced?

Hi,

Service interruption is minimal, but several channel re-assignments. Sorry, No WOWOW Channel (Pls see related post I made in this thread).
Current subscription rate is around 520P

Switched to Destiny from Sky Cable last November, and since then, I've been very happy with Destiny.

This is the first time I've heard of alleged frequent cable TV service interruptions. Based on my own experience, I can not remember any tv signal interruptions, except for one or two that was scheduled. Maybe the report was referring more to cable internet sometime late last year and early this year when they were upgrading. Lately though, my internet connection has been relatively fast and trouble-free.

It's gone from Skycable/SunCable, too. My thoeries on the sudden disappearance of Fashion TV:

1. Techinical problems: I noticed a couple of days prior to the disappearance the feed would suddenly freeze

2. No longer free to air: ala TechTV, Fashion TV decided to charge cable providers a fee for carrying the channel

3. Moralists: Somebody complained to MTRCB about Fashion TV's tendency to show models wearing very sexy loungerie or even nothing at all

4. Bankruptcy: Fashion TV ran out of money

5. Making way: Cable providers pulled it in anticipation for the start of the Playboy channel

Anybody knows what really happened?

There was a message scrolling at the bottom of the screen that starting so-and-so date FTV would be encoded, so that is most probably why it is not there anymore.

I am a HOME Cable subscriber... almost 5 years na yata. Wanted to switch to Destiny awhile back, but my wife renewed our subscription for another year.

Aside from FTV, I really miss Tech TV. La na bang pag-asang bumalik yung channel na to

Two Sundays ago, I was watching ABC 5. They were showing some sort of "launching of FTV Philippines". Seems to have been held at the lobby of Enterprise Center.

From another forum I visit, another FTV fan posted that he caught FTV Philippines last Sunday evening.

I'll try to check again this Sunday. It looks like they're putting up a local version.

Not sure whether this has anything to do with the disappearance of FTV on cable though.

Destiny...hmmm siguro they can add Wowow sa lineup nila pero Sky never will. Ive heard a lot about Wowow maganda nga daw, there's the real movie entertainment and the entertainment for the inner temples of your body &mind
Sky is very much guarded by the MTRCB, yung channels from Spain,Germany at France eh lagi nacut off pag may lewd scene sa movie or show, tipong off the air signal. Also E! is affected by this system.They had this biographical documentary on a famous radio psychologist who had some sort of pornographic past, pero I really was interested sa life story niya but it came to the part that the show featured what was supposed to be nude and topless pictures of their subject, pero ayun pinutol agad ng Sky/MTRCB for more than a minute kahit may nagsasalita na, you get to miss the whole point of the show. That's the big problem if your cable provider's the most widely subscribed to nationwide. Cable service sa province is much better
Go figure!

Joe and for those who are interseted for the section which were cut pls send me a PM

Buti na lang dipa ko nagswitch sa Destiny!

Sun cable has always had WOWOW. Not sure about Sky Cable though.

What's with Global cable having an Adult Channel 98?
Wher you have to but a descramble aparatus to fully view it. It is called Hot Channel, A Japanes cable channel!

But... Unfortunately this was exposed by Mike Enriquez' Imbestigador in GMA last Saturday after a Born-Again Christian squilled to the said media group about what Glocal cable is doing as if this brother was offended (Daw).

Why does home cable have to charge a service fee if you want to disconnect from their service?

Hi Kahon,

Because they want to keep on milking for cash, that's why. A sort of penalty for discontinuing your monthly contributions to their bottom line, babawi-an ka na lang nila. A truly absurd policy.

I gave my former cable company representative a big piece of my mind when they asked me for a "disconnection fee". Natakot ata. Sabi pwede naman daw hindi bayaran... Hehe, unahan mo ng sindak.

Takot mga yan sa iskandalo. Tell them that what they are doing is illegal and they can shove any signed agreement where the sun don't shine.

Well, mukhang bumabawi Sky Cable at iba pang may SOLAR channel. If I remember it right, SOLAR na ang exclusive channel to show live NBA games, at hindi na ESPN. I asked Destiny and they dont have SOLAR daw.
So, NBA fans better get a cable operator that has SOLAR. At kung may Wowow, the better.
