I’ve tried the myDSL Watchpad before during the last Pacquiao fight and it didn’t really worked nicely. I was told that they’ve gathered all the feedback and have corrected the system accordingly.

ang baho ng watchpad. amoy taee.

Enid Guzy · 16 years ago

Pacquiao Fight – Dont believe the fight lasted 12 rounds – fantastic fight though:-)

Karen · 16 years ago

Very unreliable! It didn’t work again just like in the fight against Cotto!

Joey · 16 years ago

Ahem.

I have to take back my last comment. Was finally able to get into WatchPad and it worked fine!

Resolution wasn’t best but the streaming was fine without any buffering or stops/

Props to PLDT. Worked this time!

Its now start of the Pacman Fight at PLDT Watchpad…

moonshines · 16 years ago

what more can you expect from pldtdsl? nothing but sorry ass excuses as well lies in advertising. Gma 7 suck big time as well. i wont pay a penny just to watch this fight. its cramped!

Joey · 16 years ago

Totally sucked.

Registered as required and I am a MyDSL 1299 subscriber.

Logged in before the fight and it was already choppy with significant lag/buffering time.

Got out for a bit and have not been able to log back in. Error messages and the WatchPad app keeps on crashing.

Really crappy customer experience; PLDT shouldn’t even have tried this.

Mga kababayan koh! Panoorin natin ang laban ni Pacman LIVE!
Pwede ninyong mapanood dito, live, at wala pang bayad.
May ginawa lang akong survey tapos nag stream na kaagad.

Ano pa ang hinihintay nyo? Manood natayo

Jayson · 16 years ago

mine is running smooth, i am just afraid for tomorrow from the live sreaming itself. Hopefully it will work fine already unlike last November grrrr.

webhostph · 16 years ago

marami na nagsbe nyan that when they subscribe, they didn’t get what pldt has promised. umasa lng daw sila.. —

as for me, what i do is to lock myself in the room watching the regular telecast and no changing in news channels. even delayed i still feel it is the live broadcast haha — crazy me lol

steph · 16 years ago

aww, i read about your watchpad experience during the last fight. i hope pldt redeems itself. im planning to watch it via watchpad. if it fails, where else can i watch its livestream?

AdRiaN · 16 years ago

sana nga maging maganda ang streaming ng laban.. para hndi na ulit ako mag DL ng kung ano anong software.. pangit din kc manood sa TV 3hr amf!

hitch · 16 years ago

parehas sila ng logo ng sandbox ung fight nila..

simplynice93 · 16 years ago

Maybe they should include the sentence: “Service Guaranteed or Get Your Money Back!” Maybe..just maybe people will believe they can deliver.

Edgar · 16 years ago

Whoa! Hope this time “I’ll be sweeter”, as the song goes. Last time I heard, heavy traffic scored a knockout on this service.

StrayArrow · 16 years ago

ooops….. there are a lot of ways to watch the fight and some are more reliable…. a lot are also free….

IC DeaDPiPoL · 16 years ago

too bad I can’t watch it since it requires Windows Media Player (already shifted to Linux Mint) unless I try it with Wine. (test it later)

onealberto · 16 years ago

i doubt it if makakasurvive ang watchpad na yan. sa sobrang dami ng traffic baka bumigay ang system. masakit sa ulo pag nagbabuffer. nakakawalang gana.

koki_motok · 16 years ago

at least merong ganyan offer ang pldt,, unlike sa globe broadband.. im paying 2k a month,, ala man lang offer maski ugn free wireless router nila..

@bi3L · 16 years ago

I sure hope they’ll hit the spot this time, we all know what happened the last time they advertise the Pacquiao – Cotto fight. It was a knockout on PLDTs part.

There’s no harm in trying, since watchpad is free to MY DSL subscribers… unless they changed that already… hmm….

Mas okay pa nga ang Stream sa SOPCAST libre na hindi pa sira… I doubt kung maging okay yang watchpad this time baka hindi kayanin ng system nila. Tsaka may problem sa Terms and Conditions pag nagregister kasi anytime in the future pagnaisipan ng pldt magcharge ng fee eh automatic ka na malagyan ng charge sa bill mo kaya beware guys.

ALWAYS READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BEFORE SIGNING UP SA ANYTHING LALO NA SA MGA FREE SERVICE KUNO.

francis · 16 years ago

Haayy sana maging efficient na sila this time, pero back up nalang sa pay per view kaysa mainis ka imbes na maexcite ka sa laban

Jojo · 16 years ago

I don’t think they have subjected the watchpad through massive traffic generated testing. Streaming through sites like Justin.tv was better to think that these sites are accessed by more viewers. And before attempting another pacman fight, which could result to the dissapointment similar to the last fight, they should have showcased similar viewings to test if they are indeed ready, (opening and closing of the winter olympics for example).

“it didnâ€™t really worked nicely”

MWAHAHAHA, what an understatement. Ay advertiser na nga pala dito. ;)

ciao!

awesome21 · 16 years ago

naku eto na naman tong watchpad before lang yung fight ok ang stream ng mga palabas pagdating nung event mismo they fail miserably as in.. buti nalang me back up ako nung laban niya with cotto, they just want to have new subscriber kaya ganyan..

symbiandreamsdotcom · 16 years ago

it’s obvious who will win.but good luck to both.
did someone record the show? i missed it

moomeng · 16 years ago

hehe saw you on tv

jeff · 16 years ago

The program fails to install with Windows 7.

deus · 16 years ago

A friend of mine told me that it’s not worth it. Well, I haven’t tried it cause you can always watch it on tv. By the way, I saw you Yuga. You’re on tv! Hehe!
