Challenges: Piracy, streaming shift and digitization
The industry has problems with content piracy. Big providers now use encryption and smart-card systems. These help stop people from getting channels without paying. Some still find ways to misuse the signals. This has caused rule violations and led to action from the government. Many people also want to watch shows online now. Fewer people choose cable. Some services had to stop. For example, Sky On Demand closed in 2020. It was replaced by IPTV. This fits better with what people want and how they now watch TV.
Innovations: Fibre upgrades and IPTV-based service delivery
Many companies are now changing how they give TV and internet. They see more people want faster internet and more ways to watch shows. So, they are moving to fibre‑to‑the‑home and IPTV. These are better than old cable. In late 2024, Sky Cable worked with Converge. They started a new service called “Sky TV” that uses IPTV. This gives people more control and better viewing. Sky Movie Philippines is doing something like this too. They use open peering and fast internet to make their service strong. They mix cable and internet together. This helps them give clear pictures, faster loading, and plans that fit different needs. Some people want live TV. Some like watching shows later. These new systems can do both.
