Dream Satellite vs PLDT Satellite (coming soon)

[rhops]

Ang alam ko (accdg to a friend who works at Dream) bibilhin ata ng PLDT ang Dream, not so sure about this info if it pushes through or not? Well if ever baka nga maging parang DirectTV o Dish sila.

[papao]

question lang..kasi dapat papakabit kami ng dream pero pinacancel din, kasi sabi kung ilang un tv un din un kailngan na no. dish/receiver..kasi kung isa lang daw same channels lng un mapapanood sa mga tv(kung ano un palabas sa isa un din un sa isa) ganun ba talaga un? o snisales talk lng mom ko para bumili ng additional na receivers

i will add some info on my first post ...

you have also need a splitter that has 2 ports(Input) and the number of
output depends on how many TV set you goin to support

[BoEinG_747]

tama ang technician jan ..u need another receiver

pero doon sa Dish..

pwede kahit isang satellite dish lang

[OTO]

IMO dream isnt worth it unless you live in an area without cable or your cable provider is gay.

one reciver per tv, sa dish, i think a disch can support about 3 receivers, not so sure.

we currently have 4 dream receivers, wala kasing cable sa lugar namin. what i really want is for Dream to start offering Internet via satellite. yun ang maganda sana.

sir LT...little info lang po...sa dish namin 5 LNB ang nakakabit sa sa satellite dish namin it means 5 receiver ..kailangan lang magaling at matiyaga lang mag tuning ang technician ..kasi ibat ibang bansa ang kukunan ng signal...IMHO

[luckytruck]

a okay, pwede pala 5 receivers sa isang dish

but the cost of ownership sa dream has come down so low as compared to before na i have even seen some dishes sa mga squatters area. this is actually a good thing

free na ang receiver so long you pay 9000. thats 750 per month, ito na yata ang kanilang premium package...

if you want to know the terms andpricing of dream ,just log in to their website its all there.

read somewhere satellites are not suitable for broadband internet coz they can only transmit/send data to u and cannot receive back data..so u'll have broadband download speeds but u'll need to upload thru phone lines. hassle daw.

[Blackraven]

I think I've heard about this way back pa....

But question is, may confirmed na ba na launch date and bibilhin ba ng PLDT/Echostar Communications ang Dream Satellite TV?????

Also, I want to ask if it would better to switch from Sky Cable to PLDT's DTH TV service.

I heard that Sky/Home Cable would start releasing set-top boxes kasi by early next year, their signal will be "DIGITALLY ENCRYPTED".

According to them, the first set-top box is FREE. Pero if you have other TVs, you have to purchase set-top boxes for each of those TVs that you want to connect. And that's P2,500-P3,000 per box.

Or should we wait nalang for January 2006 at saka diyan lang tayo magde-decide on which one is the better Digital TV service provider???

Isnt pldt and dream owned by the same family???

Dream is controlled by Tonyboy Cojuangco. He used to control PLDT but not anymore. Si Manny Pangilinan na.

[radiazone]

same shareholder ata....

Tama si BlueBimmer, maganda lang mag-browse at download thru satellite tv coz of it's broadband feature, uploading has to be via phone line. Also it's added cost to subscribe to it, usually di kasama yan sa tv subscription. Another thing, kung digitally encrypted ang signal, bale-wala ang splitter. You have to have one decoder per TV, you can attach up to six LNBs sa dish depende sa capacity ng dish to receive signals from different satellite locations, pwede rin namang one location lang if you have multiple TVs. Decoder is for digitally encrypted signal while receiver is for analog signal.

well, i have been reading in the papers how PLDT might be interested in Bayantel in exchange for its shares in some cable TV outfit (i'm sure the deal will involve other things), thus giving SKYCable/Lopez a stranglehold on the conventional cable market and PLDT a stanglehold on the landline telephone market. it also might pave the way for PLDTs shift to satellite TV/internet/data because from experience, PLDT knows that wireless/digital is the wave of the future and has been great for their company (SMART is their HUGE milking cow diba)
