BTV on Sky

It didn't last a year. The absence of Basketball TV on Sky Cable really pissed off a lot of people especially the die hards who need their fill of the NBA. Nevermind that it is also on ESPN and Channel 9, when the playoffs came around, a lot of the games were only on BTV. But you can't beat daily games with all the extra stuff and shows that go with it.

Sky had exclusive rights to BTV until January 1 of this year when they gave it up in favor of their new sports channel called Balls. So of course, Destiny was more than willing to take on the exclusivity which really helped their business tremendously.

Now I think with the clamor and demand on going, the only way to get BTV back on Sky is through a premium service where subscribers will have to pay extra to get it due to the exclusivity deal. Channel 149 is the inital allocated channel for BTV.

In the provinces, since there is no exclusivity deal in place, BTV will be back as a regular basic channel.

This all starts October 28.

Jude, I have no regrets shifting to Destiny from Sky after BTV was pulled out from the Lopez-owned cable company.

Since you mentioned that BTV will be on Channel 149 under Sky's Platinum plan, I won't go for it. You have to pay more for the Platinum service. Already, you have to pay close to P1,000 for the basic SkyCable service, plus an additional amount for the Digibox.

With Destiny, you have to pay only P500 a month with BTV as a regular channel.

Jude, would you know what's the problem with CS/RPN9 here in Davao City(also in Tagum and nearby areas)? We are unable to watch the PBA as there is on signal at all. It's more than a week now. We're on local channel. Thanks.

sorry James but either than BTV and the other solar channels, there's nothing else good on Destiny. kunti lang movie channels nila and walang ESPN , AXN, Cinemax and the Star Channels. That why i am susbscibed to both sky and destiny. Sky may be a bit expensive pero they have more choices and not only for the sports minded. anyway im just glad Btv is availalble in sky again

I would have loved to subscribe to both Sky and Destiny but I cannot afford to pay both cable providers. That's why Destiny is the best for me right now, budget-wise.

Will BTV be on Sky Cable Gold or Platinum?

BTV is on Sky Platinum if you live in Metro Manila. But if you live in the CAMANAVA area, it is on Sky Gold.

You have to pay more for the Platinum service. Already, you have to pay close to P1,000 for the basic SkyCable service, plus an additional amount for the Digibox.

Thanks. James. I inquired yesterday and I was told that BTV is available to all packages including Silver, as long as one has the Digital box, which requires a deposit of P2,000.

If you live in Cavite or Laguna, check with your Sky provider. It's a regular channel, I believe.

Sa mga taga San Pedro Laguna, it is on Ch. 69!

Praise God for this!

Another key reason why people try to make use of generic versions of Viagra
is the decreased cost involved. This makes people less likely to be concerned if the medication is not quite as effective as the Viagra UK
created by Pfizer. The manner in which many people purchase generic Cheap Cialis
can also decrease the ability to reclaim the cost if the product is found to be ineffective.
