Online Entertainment Levels Up with New SKY On-Demand

TV and movie fans no longer have to rely on their PCs or mobile devices just to catch-up on their favorite stories and cable TV programs. Viewers will soon be able to directly stream their most-loved cable TV and local shows, and even movies, on their big TV screen at home. This newly-launched service called SKY On-Demand runs on the most advanced digibox to date - harnessing the capabilities of SKYcable and SKYbroadband subscriptions to utilize the popular video streaming site, iWant TV. Both the SKY On-Demand digibox and the video on-demand service will be made available to the public this March 2015.

SKY On-Demand is the answer to the viewers' long-time need to catch-up on their missed episodes or relive their favorite movies directly on TV. Made possible by the impressive and growing video-on-demand library of iWant TV, SKY On-Demand allows every member of the family to catch-up on episodes of local and foreign cable TV shows using their big TV screen at home.

Now everyone can stream shows like House of Cards, Master Chef, Restaurant Impossible, Pawn Stars, Bondi Vet, Scorpion, Extant, Red Band Society, Ben 10, Dora, Adventure Time, Chowder, TV Patrol, ASAP, Forevermore, Two Wives and a whole lot more from channels like RTL-CBS, History, Asian Food Channel, Food Network Asia, E!, Lifetime, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, ANC and of course, ABS-CBN. Very soon, they can also catch up on exciting programs like Asia's Got Talent, The Amazing Race, The Voice, Madam Secretary, How to Get Away with Murder, Jane the Virgin and more from channels such as AXN, Disney, Disney Jr. & Sony TV that will soon be added to the SKY On-Demand library. The number of available shows and channels for streaming will depend on a subscriber's current cable TV plan.

To truly bring the customer's viewing experience at home to the next level, SKY On-Demand also brings video playback functionality and personal playlist creation to TV screens. This will allow each member of the family to experience premium channel programming alongside a robust service that will enable them to stream any series or film of their choice. Ultimately, SKY On-Demand is for the benefit of all Filipino viewers since "SKY continues to push technology to the next level with only 1 objective in mind -- to Wow its Customers", as mentioned by SKY Cable Corporation's COO Rodrigo Montinola during his opening remarks in SKY's sneak peak event for the new service last February 24, 2015.

SKYcable subscribers can soon use this new service by simply upgrading their current SD or HD digibox to the new SKY On-demand digibox.

New SKYcable subscribers will soon be able to avail of the service for as low as P2,199 installation fee. Although SKY On-Demand can be accessed using other wired home internet providers, this value-added service is best experienced with SKYbroadband. Aside from its fast internet connection, SKYbroadband subscribers can also enjoy premium access to special foreign and local movie titles from Paramount Pictures, NBC-Universal, Star Cinema, Regal Films and Viva Films.

The sneak peak event for SKY On-Demand was held at the Loft @ Manansala in Rockwell. Guests from the media were allowed to preview and experience this latest service developed by SKY. The event titled, "The Big Level-Up," was hosted by Kapamilya stars JM Rodriguez and Maricar Reyes. It also featured enthralling performances by Kapamilya Diva, Morisette Amon. During a number of the event's segments, representatives from SKY discussed how SKY On-Demand works, and even gave a glimpse of what content can be streamed and watched. With SKY's new on-demand video streaming capabilities brought straight to the big TV screen, SKY On-Demand is set to change the viewing habits in the Philippines.
