Anyone else running PLDT WatchPad?

I got this DVD installer in the mail last week for PLDT WatchPad. Been seeing the ads as well on TV lately and was wondering if this is a free or paid service from PLDT to all its myDSL subscribers.

Are there other PLDT myDSL subscribers getting their DVD installers in the mail too? I read that this is available if you subscribe to myDSL Plan 999, 1995 and 3000. This is streaming video so only makes sense for PLDT to offer it to high-bandwidth plans.

Available channels include PBO, CNBC, MTV, GO, Animax, CNN, GMA7, Cartoon Network and National Geographic (provided by Cignal TV). Anyway, I tried installing the application on my Windows 7 desktop but it kept on crashing. Will try this on an XP PC and see if it works.

Anyone else got this running on their system? How is it?

    My computer runs Windows 7 64 Ultimate bit.
    I have successfully installed Watchpad on it. It should not have any compatibility issues since the .NET framework is universal on Windows.

    You have to make sure Adobe Flash runs properly on your Internet Explorer, otherwise you will encounter errors in installation. If flash does not run properly, you have to fix your IE’s settings.

Everytime na gagamitin ko yung watchpad naghahang siya. bale yung audio tuloy tuloy naman kaso yung video niya nagstop na after few seconds na iclick ko. nagtanong na ako sa tech support ng pldt wala nman sila maibigay na solution.

    Thank you in advance.

    still running even on reinstalling watchpad, no error occurred. :)

    Yes, Right after they release its win7 version. I think it was last year a month before the margarito vs pacquiao fight. I have received an email from PLDT that they are now available on win7. I tried it and it works.

    Unfortunately, I do not have the answer in your problem.

    I’ll try uninstalling mine and reinstall and see what happens.

    • Avatar for Mike Mike says:

      Yeah, I’ve read that ad, too.

      But unfortunately, I still can’t run the launcher. When I’m about to finish installing, it just “Stopped Working”.

      It keeps on giving me the Event Name: CLR20R3.

      Have you solved and run yours? Thanks.
