MANILA, Philippines - For over 16 years, Skycable has given subscribers access to many quality programs.
Today, it offers High Definition (HDtv) — another first in the cable TV industry. HDtv is the new standard in TV technology, which offers enhanced picture and sound quality. Viewers get life-like images and crystal clear sound through Skycable’s digital cable platform.
Skycable’s HDtv offering is also timely considering the growing number of households now using LCD TV sets. For quite some time, LCD TV owners are not able to maximize their TV viewing experience because of the lack of HD content providers. But now, Skycable is offering two informative channels viewers can subscribe to History HD and Discovery HD.
History HD is the leading channel for revealing, award-winning original non-fiction series and event-driven specials that connect history with viewers in an informative, entertaining way. Programming covers military to contemporary history, technology, natural history, science, archaeology and pop culture. And since the shows are in high definition, viewers will feel as if they’ve traveled back in time to witness history in the making. Among history HD’s acclaimed line-up of programs for 2009 are Cities of the Underworld, The Universe, Ax Men, Dogfights, Ancient Discoveries, and Ice Road Truckers.
Skycable also brings Discovery HD, a global high-definition network with exclusive content from Discovery’s extensive series and specials. It features programs on the wonders of the world ranging from culture, science and natural history to travel and lifestyle delivered in breathtaking imagery and expansive detail.
