November 10th, 2005 02:48 AM #2i have more than 2 years na
Picture Quality and Sound Q, average lang.
890 a month ang bayad ko dati 790 lang nagdagdag sila ng discovery channel, travel discovery at Animal planet kaya naging 890 me PPV rin at games.
Cons is pag malakas ang ulan madalas nawawala ang reception or pixelated na.

November 10th, 2005 12:14 PM #9ang nakikita ko lang advantage ng dream tv over your regular cable tv ay yung parentaal control to block channels and certain shows (based on rating). very handy if you'll be away and kids will be left home.

November 10th, 2005 02:30 PM #10mas magastos pala yan kasi 1 tv=1 decoder...
kakapikon lang kasi sa sky cable... ang panget ng service... ilang beses na ako nag complain about the reception na malabo, walang ginagawa, di man lang pinupuntahan. nung dati nasabitan ng truck yung cable, almost a week bago pinuntahan at kinabit, pero di nila binawas sa bill yung ilan days na wala kami cable.
so either i go back to destiny or go dream tv... hay

November 10th, 2005 04:34 PM #111 pa advantage is may information ka on the programming. Alam mo kung up to what time yung pinapanood mo and kung ano yung susunod na program.

November 10th, 2005 05:59 PM #14medyo magulo ang channels ng Dream ngayon. kagaya nung Formoso TV, hindi naman Formaso yung lumalabas. tapos yung Bloomberg pa yata, iba din.
meron PPV ang Dream and hindi ito connected sa phone line. don't know how to pay for the PPV, di ko pa nasubukan. via prepaid card din siguro.Signature

November 10th, 2005 06:10 PM #16di sya connected sa phone line tatawagan mo sila para bigyan ka ng access sa PPV nila. meron silang dedicated channel sa PPV pag di bumili ng palabas blanko ang channel na yon.
Di naman magaganda ang pelikula sa PPV nila maliban syempre sa XXX channel nila hehehe

November 11th, 2005 06:02 AM #20If you are in Metro Manila or most of Northern Luzon but have CATV coverage, stick with CATV.
If you are south of Luzon down to Mindanao (where there are less probability of typhoons and heavy rains), and you don't like your CATV operator, get Dream.
If you don't have CATV coverage, get Dream.
Mind you that the service is quite expensive than regular CATV. You can use one dish if you have more than one TV but you need a decoder for each TV, meaning you need to pay them the P800+ monthly x number of TVs. Mahal din noh?
BTW, each decoder uses a Smart Card (similar to a full-sized SIM card that you use on your GSM cellphone).
