do you still get the normal cable channels with the mega TV? also, how's the quality? is it available in HD?

It still has KBS and MBC and the like, but you just watch the shows that you want to watch. There is no real-time broadcasting that I know of (except maybe the home shopping component). You can switch you TV back to your original cable by pressing you "Video" (input change) button.

Much of the stuff is in SD, but there is a good amount in HD. Many of the documentaries and some of the movies are in HD. I've been watching some docu's on Egypt. Really nice.

I've noticed that you can also check the weather, check the news headlines, watch news clips and read any of the Korean newspapers online. I *think* you can surf Naver, but I'm not sure.

that's awesome!
i just talked to KT, and if i sign a one year contract for megapass internet + megaTV they will discount the purchase of a ps3 by like 50%! wow! (since you can use the ps3 as the set top box)

That is awesome! See if you can try before you buy first. I've got the MegaTV for a 6 month free trial. If you get any more details on that PS3 deal let us know!

just talked to the girl again, and apparently its only on 3 year contracts AND foreigners cant take advantage of the offer.

do you get discovery channel content on your megaTV package?

I have a KT building, so I'm going to get my internet through them, but I'm looking for cable and they talked about MegapassTV I believe, and it sounded interesting enough, but does anyone know if they get American Sports? I know SBS Sports broadcast basketball and the Super Bowl, so I'd hope I'd be able to get it from KT.

Also, what is the foreigner number for KT? I found this number:

English service directoy assistance
080-211-0114 (toll free)

That looks a lot like what I need, so I called it, a woman answered, and it's not even a KT number! It's just some woman!
