ABS-CBN Filipino (on IA5 12090) moving to DTV - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Looks like ABS-CBN (Filipino TV) is moving to DTV by next summer. This change should shake up the contents of that entire transponder (IA5, 12090) by mid-2006. Also, there should be up to 80,000 units of surplus FTA-capable gear (Atlanta DTH receivers, linear LNBFs, perhaps some of the bigger ku-band dishes) on the used market.

Not only that Dave (Direct TV) bought the Philippino Channel.

I am too interested if there are FTA ABS-CBN in Vancouver. I used to have the TFC satellite but sold it after a few years.

Sad to tell you other than I think one religious channel on IA-5 I do not think there is any FTA programming from the Philippines.
