Sky Cable Philippines delivers nation's first HD broadcast with Ryder Cup {Engadget HD}

Sep 20th 2008 8:19AM I just got the HD box a few days ago. I was excited that there will be HD in the philippines. My HDTV is starting to get used to the grainy SD channels. :-) I have some negative comments about the HD box. Number 1, the remote is so and unresponsive, not to mention you have to REALLY point it on the box. 2 the cost, hopefully if they ever start adding HD channels, it will just be a free thing, (an added bonus for the Platinum Pack) like how they do it in the US and Japan. But knowing how Filipinos are, they will take advantage of the HD hungry rich people and charge 1,000 Pesos or 24 US Dollars per frickin' channel! That would be just ridiculous.
I would love to have National Geographic HD, CNN HD, Discovery HD, ESPN HD, HBO HD, and more! Surprise me SkyCable! (Not with a suicidal bill...;-)
