SkyCable just got in time in the HD revolution and they now offer the SkyCable HD subscription to all tv and cable fans, and thanks to that HD decoder box that uses to decrupt SkyCable HD signal to your HD TV. I experienced a viewing party in a bar in Makati and we watch the FIFA World Cup Matches using the SkyCable HD and a samsung LED TV. It was bright, smooth and looks like that I'm watching the football match in a window. Although the feed sometimes got broken but everything is smooth and we expect delays everytime in cable tv, because the event is streamed live and the live feed causes the delays and pixelation, but over all, the HD broadcast is great! I even took some photos and feels like that I'm in the front seat. (more below)
HD broadcast and progamming is now in the Philippine market, and we have lots of channels and HD broadcast that can be be viewed in full HD, all you need is the SkyCable HD box and a LED or HD TV (Samsung was recommended to use here) And I heard that last September 2008, they tested and HDTV was presented the Ryder Cup Golf Tournament via SkyCable. Sky Cable HD one month subscription will be given if you purchase a Samsung LED or HD TV.
