SkyCable Select Starter at Php280

Sky Cable is offering a new Starter Select package to its subscribers for as low as Php280 per month, inclusive of about 37 channels.

sky cableEach additional channel on top of that will only cost you Php20 or Php350 each, depending on the channel.

I’m curious which channels would cost as expensive as Php350 each and what channels are included in the initial 37 (pre-selected).

In any case, offering a per channel subscription the a la carte way could be cheaper to those who are into a select number of preferred programs.

    I’ve been planning on subscribing to a sky select subscription. Sad to say though, na Php 2,000.00 ang Initial payment…. Those crappy channels, and a cable channel selector that you only RENT for 2000 and 280 a moth?!

    Parang hindi na sya ganong kagandang plan. And from what i’ve read here, 350 for HBO? tapos wala pang NGC/Discovery man lng….hayzz…

    IMO, you’re not getting anything for your buck here.

    Siguro, kung magpapa-subscribe ka dito….ginagawa mo lang to para sa porma, hindi para sa pleasure ng pagiging couch potato.

    Ano magagawa ng porma ng pagiging subscriber ng sky cable kung wala ka nmn ng mga channels that really matter…

    Sky Cable Select Starter? -> Stupid.

    I was amazed when my sister in law told me that there’s a P280 plan in skycable that’s why I became interested and have it research in internet. But, sad to say, I have read negative feedback in this site. For me, P280 is good if HBO is included and if that happens, kindly inform me and I will definitely subscribe it.

    Sky made great sales and info campaign in our area (Paranaque~Taguig)- they had a roadshow at the commercial area and church patio of our village on weekends – complete with full color flyers, streamers – announcing the Sky Select program. Then they followed up with mailer’s too.

    When I called their customer service, I was told that my Sky Silver will revert to basic (P280), and if i wanted to upgrade to Select, i would need a Digibox (!) for each TV (!!) since our area had gone Digital.

    Two weeks later, Destiny stuffed my mailbox with a flyer with an unbeatable offer P1,450 installation, 3 months free! If only for Playhouse Disney, it was worth the switch.

    Sky is still on one TV though (analog), just for AXN, Lifestyle and AFC.

    Pundits say that’s typical of a Lopez-owned company….

    Disappointed… after Sky announced that my Silver subscription will be adjusted from P650+ to P780 per month, I thought, well, I could still be able to enjoy my Sky and save money using their Select Starter promo and add HBO, NG & C/I channels. But it turns out I’ll be paying much more than my Silver subscription while getting lesser channels.

    Can someone explain what’s the benefit of getting that bundled-up HBO P350 package? The only reason why I stick to Sky is because of the Lifestyle Network but if they don’t break down that HBO package I might as well switch to Destiny P450 subscription.

  22. Joemen says:

    I’m really interested with Skycable 280, mas mura kasi kumpara sa ibang cable network. Kaya lang ang isang ayaw ko lang sa Skycable ay nag-iinsert sila ng ads. Pinapatungan nila ng ads yung mga channels gaya ng Discovery, National Geographic. Dati kasi ganun sila kaya kami lumipat ng ibang cable. Does Skycable still inserting ads?
