Channels Offerred

Dream currently offers only 37 stations. These are the channels as of August 16, 2007. However the number of channels depends on prepaid card denomination. For full channel packages click here.


Until 2006 Dream offered a competitive and technologically advanced system, and was the first content provider in the Philippines to offer such channels as Disney, Fox News and TCM. Their service reached a peak in October 2005 with the adding of Discovery, Discovery Travel, and Animal Planet.


However, starting June 16th 2006 Dream began to delete channels with Fox News, Star Chinese and Channel V deleted in favor of free to air channels. Then on August 16th 2007 Dream deleted 13 channels including the very popular Disney channel, replacing them with nothing. Currently Dream is the only provider without the Disney Channel, without Jack TV, without Crime and Suspense.


Also, Dream charges much more than the cable services despite having only half the channels the Cable services offer.


With these moves Dream now seems only be seeking customers in non-cable areas as they are no longer a realistic choice to anyone who has the option of cable in their area. This will only worsen as competitors SkyCable, Global Destiny and Cablelink add channels while Dream just deletes and deletes more channels.
