Philippines will switch from Analogue TV to Digital Television.
It seems that the Philippines is ready to switch to Digital Television (DTV) from Analogue Television. As ABS-CBN, Philippines' largest TV Network, announced that they are ready to launch five new premium free-to-airs TV via DTV this year and they are just waiting for the final go-signal coming from National Telecommunications (NTC).
What is DTV and what are the benefits on switching from Analogue TV to DTV?
DTV (Digital television) is a high-tech standard that uses digital signals for broadcast. Many Countries including USA, Japan, Singapore and other European Countries already switched to DTV.
The Benefits of switching to DTV:
1. Filipinos can enjoy more free-to-air TV channels because DTV occupies lesser space in the frequency compare to the Analogue TV. And that means, a TV station can broadcast on more that one channel.
2. DTV produces better picture and sound, so the issues like poor reception, grainy images and choppy sound/audio will never be a problem anymore for viewers.
Sisimulan ang pag-implement ng DTT in some selected areas. Meanwhile, NTC said Analogue TV will shutdown its operation not sooner than 2015
When will DTV start in the Philippines?
DTV/ DTT (Digital Terrestial Television) may start this year 2011, pagkatapos ma-i-release ng NTC ang mga implementing rules on using Digital. The release date of the rules will be on June of this year.Sisimulan ang pag-implement ng DTT in some selected areas. Meanwhile, NTC said Analogue TV will shutdown its operation not sooner than 2015
Moreover, in able to switch or experience DTV, a household needs to purchase a DTV Digibox that cost similarly to DVD Player, so that is around Php2,000. 1 TV set = 1 DTV Digibox. So, if you have 3 TV Set in your house, you need to buy 3 DTV Digibox also.
On a personal note, I find switching to DTV is a great idea and buying DTV Digibox is reasonable, BUT can everyone afford the DTV Digibox? i don't think so, Paano yung ibang pamilya na sakto lang para sa pagkain ng kanilang mga anak ang sinasahod? and one more thing , wala na bang magagawa ang NTC or any other broadcasting companies na gawing hindi lang 1 is to 1 ang ratio ng TV Set at DTV Digibox? kasi paano kung sa isang bahay 3 ang TV Set so kailangan nilang bumili ng 3 DTV Digibox.. Ok sabihin na nating afford naman nila yun, but still... parang aksaya parin ata ng pera yun.
What do you think?

Facebook's "NEW PROFILE": Hot or Not?
I'm not anymore fond of using the Facebook, I much prefer now the twitter and tumblr. But hey! there is something new in Facebook. Facebook Team cooks something new for their 'loyal' users before the year's end. Well, it is not the secretly build facebook smart phone nor the Gmail killer's facebook email. They will only have few upgrade on the Facebook profile page and they called it "The New Profile" wow! as if namang new na new ang idea. LOL
Okay, the "New Profile" will have now your all basic information, interests, selected photos on the landing page. i think all 'stalkers' now are partying for this news because they can simply get to know more about their crush, love interest and whoever they want. But you have the choice to not change or to change your Facebook Profile Page. If your interested in "New Profile" thingy then clickhere to experienced the change.
I already tried it and it is nice. I love the navigation links below my Display Picture.I also liked the way the tagged pictures and personal information was shown. And I think their is no private issues will occur on this changes because it is still up to you on what information you want to share in public. Over-all, "New Profile" is hot... hotter than the previous profile page that the Facebook have done.
UPDATE:
Now, i realized that "Facebook New Profile Page" is not that Hot. i got dissapoint with the small font/letters in my profile page. yeah, small is cute pero hindi sobrang liit nuh. Nakaka-irita lang. And i also noticed na mas malaki pa ang font size/letters ng Ads sa right side. Yup! I know that you need to earn money through that Ads. But hey! you can do that 'ads thing' without compromising the font size of the profile page. Be creative enough to do that!
