    Mahal :x daw ang Sine sa Australia...


    Bawal din ba manood/stream ng movies online sa mga websites like Putlocker, etc?
    boss since ur in AU na..bawal ba mag dala ng downloaded movie files coming to au? prang may na read ako na thread on this bfore pro dko na bookmark hehe. hindi ako mahilig manood ng sine..magastos sa popcorn :)

    thank u!
    yup bawal magpasok ng illegal files like downloaded movies or music na naka-save sa media like portable HDD or tablets nyo...

    nung pumasok ako before kahit music sa phone ko wala kaya para-paraan na lang para di ma-bore sa 8Hr flight hehe...

    Pwede na ata isama sa budget yung $10 na sine, kaya lang kapag may ka-date magiging $30+ na yan kasi may popcorn pa kayo.. pero oks lang at least enjoy kesa mag-isa manood

    Nabasa ko dito sa forum before na may isang pinoy on business trip na chineck yung dalang HDD and may nakitang movies, pinauwi daw agad...

    Actually sa Pinas din naman nung huling umuwi ako, may nakita akong poster ng Optical Media Board na nagwwarning na by law may power sila to request na tingnan yung media na dala for pirated files...

    Nung papunta ko ng Sydney, Thai Airways sinakyan ko may in-flight entertainment naman so medyo bawas inip.. Pero nung umuwi ako Pinas Cebupac.. kaya medyo inip kung walang music or movie

    @akocpa tip ko for anyone flying with CebuPac just download yung Onboard Player by DTI software from GoogleApps then pag na bore you can connect sa in-flight entertainment ng cebupac, just open your wifi. Last year limited lng yng tagalog movies, but still pampalipas oras. It's free.
