Diba pag sinabing digital hindi automatic na ibig sabihin ay high definition? The picture can still be standard definition iyon nga lang hindi mo na makukuha iyong content (picture) through the air antenna?

June 28th, 2010 01:24 PM #15mukhang walang subsidy from the government. medyo bwisit nga yun cable provider ko. before walang tuner box tapos nagkaroon na ng tuner box and they said na digital na daw kasi yun signal nila pero walang binayaran, now nung nagloloko yun remote nung box sabi nila walang replacement then pinipilit nila yun "HD" box nila and I have to shell out 2k for that. Ang nakakainis nga eh yun mga mag-aapply pa lang sa kanila ngayon eh same price lang din ang babayaran for connection fee and box tapos ako 2 years na subscriber and i still need to shell out the same amount!

July 6th, 2010 12:58 AM #16Digital TV is a mode of transmission and reception, if the signal contains digital signal, your reception will depend on the content format of the signal (HD or SD), the receiver (TV) and the Set Top Box that you are using. If you are using your old tv, then you need a set top box and even if the signal contains HD, because your tv is SD then you can only expect a maximum of SD quality.
as for the signal, you can use a conventional antenna, do not be deceived by some marketing ploy that "the antenna is Digital",..there is no such thing!. the antenna receives RF,..that's it.
hope this helps.

ABS-CBN allots P1B for shift to digital TV
MANILA, Philippines - ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corp. will spend an initial P1 billion in its bid to become the first company to offer digital television (DTV) in the country.
Company officials said as soon as the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) releases the rules that will govern DTV transmission, hopefully by June this year, ABS-CBN will be ready to offer this new technology. Government also has yet to decide between adopting the Japanese and European standard for DTV broadcast.
Since the NTC has yet to decide on the deadline for the total migration from analog to digital transmission to either 2015 or 2020, ABS-CBN will be offering both analog and digital in the interim.
But as soon as the deadline arrives, analog transmission will have to be totally shut down so that free-to-air channels can only be viewed either by using a box that would allow their TV sets to receive digital signal or subscribing to a cable TV service.
ABS-CBN owns SkyCable, the country’s largest cable TV service provider.
ABS-CBN DTV marketing head Miguel Mercado said they are ready to launch their operations within the year and are just awaiting the final go-signal from NTC.
The broadcasting company will be offering a digital box mainly to non-cable TV subscribers for the price of a DVD player (between P1,000 to P3,000) without any monthly subscription fee.
Mercado said through this box, which can be attached to any kind of TV, viewers can enjoy five new channels for free in addition to receiving all free-to-air channels that will be broadcasting digitally. The new channels include two for kids, one for the youth, one for dads, and another for moms.
He revealed that this would include ABS-CBN’s Channel 2 and Studio 23, GEM, and NBN. These channels are currently doing test broadcasting in digital.
As for ABS-CBN, he said plans are to make DTV ready for Visayas and Mindanao in the next few years.
However, both GMA Network and TV5 have said that they are ready to shift to digital.
“With Philippine broadcasting companies going digital, the viewing public will be able to enjoy digital quality viewing in any TV as DTV addresses the issues of poor reception, grainy pictures and choppy audio,” Mercado explained.
The directive for the Philippines to go digital, he said, is up to par with the international standard as more and more countries are switching off their analog signals.
Some of the countries that have adopted DTV include the US, China, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Denmark.

I'm subscribed to the cable service of Destiny. Possible ba na when the Digital mandate is in effect eh ang ipapalabas nilang signal sa kanilang RCA cable ay direct digital without the need of a TV box?
that may be, but we all got plastic, young and old. we asked the lto guy, "papel ba po, o...
