		<description>Hello Mae!

I&#039;m not really sure if safari supports the download/install of the watchpad.  I tried Mozilla Firefox but there are some problems with the download &amp; installation.  Actually, you&#039;ll have to install some plug-ins.

What I did is use the Internet Explorer and it just worked fine, from download until it&#039;s installed.

In your case, I think you need a few plug-ins to be installed before you cold install and play the PLDT watchpad.

try this link for some Frequently Asked Questions
http://www.pldtwatchpad.com/Faq.html

I hope that would help!</description>

		<description>I have PLDT watchpad installed on my desktop and it works just fine, I&#039;ve installed it through their site www.pldtwatchpad.com, no need for pldtwatchpad installer to install it, if you have a problem installing it you can call pldt for technical support, i was enjoying it since I&#039;ve started to have it, but got disappointed since Dec. 8 because pldtwatchpad stop airing GMA 7. It was later relayed to me that GMA 7 didn&#039;t renew their contract and that&#039;s the reason why pldtwatchpad stop airing this channel.</description>

		<description>downloaded the installer online after registration...
i&#039;ve tried installing it to 4 different computers with different OS; xp,7,vista,&amp;ubuntu (linux)

there&#039;s something i&#039;ve noticed which might be of help.  Plug-ins, firewall, shared connection (eg.router), and max acquired download speed.

Plug-in:  when I install/setup a pc I make sure I&#039;ve all known plug-ins are installed (this is also because I do video editing).  so no hassle with that, I think.

Firewall:  2 of my 4 PC has triple security system and a bit hard to install software/programs.  basically, just unblock/allow access to the internet and with other programs you want to run with it&#039;s necessary sub-programs.  I think there were 3 or 4 that you need to have free access to everything. (this is of course untrusted to most people)

Shared internet connection:
  this goes to those who use routers and share the internet connection.  of course, speed depreciates once shared with a couple of computers or more.  (ignore this one of you&#039;re only a single user/pc)

Download/Upload Speed:
  Well, everyone knows this affects everything and I know most of us experience problems with PLDT... hehehe.... If you have a vacant time, just give a hit to test your speed and if there&#039;s a problem, complain to the customer service (just sound a bit frustrated to make it so convincing)

((I&#039;ve also tried tweaking the....you know... hehehe.... but I&#039;m just leveling the subscribed speed not go beyond it.))  Alright my point is that I&#039;m making a fair action.  nyahehehe....

okay, I think I&#039;ve shared my part and I hope you&#039;all get the &quot;real&quot; idea. hehehe....

Thanks all!</description>

		<description>I guess PLDT needs to improve the watchpad service. I&#039;m sure there working on it considering they are the first to introduce this kind of software.</description>

		<description>I have been trying to install watchpad on all my three machines.  Two running XP and one Vista, all with respectable specs.  For some reason, the installation returns an error.  So no watchpad for me.

I don&#039;t have the installer, i just downloaded the installer over the air.</description>

		<description>I was able to catch glimpses of the fight via watchpad, not sure if its my connection... we are plan 899 :) I guess they recommend a higher plan right?</description>

		<description>I used the tbb Meter from ThinkBroadband.com to see the Bandwidth whilst running ThinkPad.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/bbmeter.html

I observed something rather strange; this being the amount of data that my PC was &#039;sending&#039;!  It was being generated from the WatchPad Application, since if I shut that down, all the data shown in &#039;red&#039; (upload) immediately stopped!

http://picasaweb.google.com/david.whittall/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCKm-2eLftaKYQQ#5404210480015695938

Green = Download

That is a 50Mb Test File being downloaded, so quite repectable download speed from MyDSL connection.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/622807964.png

SpeedTest.net gives 1.41Mb/s as the average download speed, for the test, and 470kb/s as the upload speed.

So what happens when you run &#039;WatchPad&#039;?

Red = Upload
Yellow = Upload/Download. at the same time!

http://picasaweb.google.com/david.whittall/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCKm-2eLftaKYQQ#5404211631982081106

Why so much Data from WatchPad, being Uploaded?

http://picasaweb.google.com/david.whittall/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCKm-2eLftaKYQQ#5404215079770704818

This shows the B/W of the replay of the AWESOME PACQUIAO CRUSHING COTTO.  I then shut down MyView and a short while later, closed the WatchPad Application.

I restarted WatchPad application, and tried to select High Quality Mode (as I have done in the past), but it is now rejected, and this warning given:-

&quot;High Quality video is available only for myDSL Plan 1299 and up. Upgrade now to enjoy faster speeds!&quot;

So I watched in standard quality.  


http://picasaweb.google.com/david.whittall/BloggerPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCKm-2eLftaKYQQ#5404220082166515090

This shows the B/W during the replay of Rounds 3 &amp;4.

However after seeing Round 4 replay, &#039;WatchPad&#039; crashed!

&quot;Connection to the PLDT Watchpad Server is lost, dick OK to dose the player and reconnect after 10 minutes. (E1402)&quot;

Admittedly, I did not wait 10 mins, and it allowed me back in.

Another &#039;change&#039; introduced to &#039;WatchPad&#039; to overcome the shortcomings of the Streaming performance, during the much publicised PACQUIAO Match, is the INABILITY to select other Channels!

You can select, and watch, during the end of Round time outs in the &#039;corners&#039;, but it switches to the boxing as soon as next Round starts!</description>

		<description>its not about the speed why the stream keeps on buffering and why watchpad always kicking us out.its because pldt didnt plan and didnt open a much bigger bandwidth. they dont have any back plan for this. i dropped my cable service for this watchpad just to know that it cant deliver what it is expected of it to deliver. pldt shouldnt promise or commit something that it cant deliver. were all given FALSE HOPES by PLDT and their stupid promises and senseless offers</description>
