Sky brings new Sky On Demand Box to Cebu
Using the SKY On Demand box, SKY subscribers can watch popular and exclusive channels on SKYcable and easily switch to YouTube or Netflix on their TV with just one press of a button via the built-in access on the box.
On top of this, subscribers can catch up on their favorite local and foreign cable shows using the SKY On Demand app on the new box that can now enable access as well to iWant, ABS-CBN’s online streaming service that boasts an array of content.
“The launch of the SKY On Demand box in Cebu comes as an advance Christmas present to our subscribers here in the province,” said Niño Rey Sarabosing, SKY General Manager in Cebu. “Cebuanos can now enjoy content on TV and on the Internet using one device, especially now that online viewing is changing the media landscape.”
Aside from the built-in apps, subscribers can also enjoy other benefits of the SKY On Demand box. Monitoring a different show while watching another channel on the same TV screen is made available with the new Picture-In-Picture (PIP) capability. Subscribers can browse other content on their TV screen without missing out on the current show they are following.
Subscribers can also take advantage of iRecord, the multi-function personal video recorder so they can record multiple shows they would want to catch on their preferred time. Another feature is the SKY On Demand Box remote control app that enables subscribers to stream cable channels and do private listening so they can watch shows on TV without distracting other family members at home. The app is available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Meanwhile, Claudia Suarez, SKY’s Business Unit Head of Consumer Product Group, said that the new SKY On Demand box serves as SKY’s way of giving back to SKYcable’s loyal subscribers.
“SKYcable would not be SKYcable without the trust of our subscribers. We are constantly innovating so we can give our SKY Kapamilyas a convenient and high-quality viewing experience whether on cable or online streaming services,” Suarez explained.
