nagpa install kami nung friday. we got combo (HD + SD) prepaid, incidentally meron palang 3+3 promo. pay 3 months get 3 moths free.
Initial cash out is a bit steep at 11870 (includes the sat dish & box; installation fee; + 3 months @ 1290) pero ok na din since may 3 months free so that fee is a total of 6 months.
general review:
HBO, Nat Geo, and History is good for HD. I am not so satisfied with Starmovies HD though, it is not HD enough for me, although it is not bad. The digitally enhanced HD channels (starsports, espn, etc) is good, F1 coverage was fantastic this way.
All the SD channels are of better quality than most cable we've had (we've tried sky and home before, and a friend has dream).
overall, sobrang sulit yung SD package; as for the HD package, 50-50 ako...hindi masyado sulit yung additional 990 for it (at least not yet) unless you absolutely love the 4 feature channel. 2 things are working againts the HD package at this point: 1) Audio is not surround encoded 2) quality and quantity (i wish there were more real HD channels)
but overall.. sulit!
