Ka Edong has an interview here.
benta nyo na lang yun mga cignal box nyo sa akin hi hi hi….
Their customer care sucks. Most of the service providers assures their customer free service charge when it comes to technical difficulties and yet they keep on saying that they won’t check the problem on site unless we pay them P700++
If I were you better choose another cable provider if you don’t want to experience this mess.

I’ve trying to report this Cignal TV Box Problem, It has been 3 weeks of unresolved problem.. What they did is they replace the box with a new one that is not activated with my account/card error 14.. So, they returned again the Cignal TV Box (Old One), telling that, there is NO Problem with that freaking Box..
TAGALOG: Kayo na ang humusga kung kaya nyong ilipat ang channel ng box na walang power na nag on/off.. Ire-reklamo ba sa inyo ang box kung nagagamit.. ANG GALING NYO SA SALE PERO SA AKSYON NG REKLAMO, PALPAK KAYO..
CIGNAL HOTLINE: AKSYUNAN Nyo naman mag 1 Buwan na yang reklamo ko.. ikino close nyo lang ang Report ko sa inyo.. Ang nakaka tuwa ini-return nyo yang unit na yan sa akin at sabi raw sa head office ninyo walang problema..

dre sa gensan city homemade nko hdtv antenna kuha lahat ang palabas sa cable.4 bay bowtie. ang tv nko flat screen jvc.
In Nov 2010, I paid for one year advance with 2 months free. In January 2012, my payment has expired. On Jan 28, 2012 in the afternoon, I called up Cignal to inquire that if I’m going to pay for one year again, would I still enjoy the 2 months free and the answer I got was ‘Yes’. The following day, I immediately paid the one year advance. On Jan 31, 2012, I called up for activation and inquired about the new expiration date, only to find out that the two months free cannot be availed anymore. But the customer relations officer assured me to bring my concern to billing department bec she acknowledged the statement of the previous officer I talked to on Jan 28. After several follow up, all the customer relations officers I talked to recognized this fact. For why should I pay one year advance if I don’t have any benefit? Today, I followed up again and a certain Leo Apacible arrogantly informed me that I cannot avail of the two months free and according to him I cannot even get a refund of the unused portion of my payment, if I decide to discontinue my subscription. What an unfair trade practice of Cheatnal TV.
Cignal TV customer care sucks… So if you can see clear TV stations with your aerial antenna, stay to that and get far away from the worst service ever!
Ever experienced a customer talking with the customer rep, explaining your side, and suddenly… beep beep beep busy tone?
walang kwenta ang cignal!! pati mga staff ndi consistent s pagkuha ng info ng customer. kainis! pag mag pafollow-up ka hihingin ulit name mo.. etc.. hays.. 4 times hiningi saken ung name ko, address, etc.. tapos nung sinabi kong ipapacancel ko na. binabaan agad ako ng telephone. Bastos!!!
oo mukhang pera ang cignal. nasira nga ang satellite namin sa bagyo tapos tumawag kmi sa hotline nila sbi may fee pa un pg gawa ng satellite nila. kapal ng mukha.
CIGNAL service is a pure dissapointment! I regret subscribing to its service. You can only enjoy the service whenever its sunny otherwise no signal! Worse, Mediascape has the gall to collect monthly advance payments to its subscribers…what a greedy company this is!
Cignal Digita TV is #1 on Picture Quality.
Dream Satellite TV is #1 on Signal Quality.
Gsat Direct TV is 1# on Affordability.
Whats the best Satellite Cable for you?
For me its not all about Technical stuff..
Its all about the channel list they offer..
www,dish.com.ph
You guys explain it well! I guess Dream is a better choice since it is in the middle of the road using your category of cost, signal strength, and picture quality. Sayang parang wala kayong dealership here in Davao. I could have bought both my Cignal and Dream from you guys. Two thumps up for your company!
Ask ko lang po itong cignal connection, hindi po ito wired feed galing sa cable outlet sa labas ng bahay? bale ang connection kukunin po ba sa naka feed na satellite dish? kung ganun po, pang iwas tapping po pala ito hehe good
i don’t thing i have to spend P1,290 for TV na redundant channel e.g. my Nat Geo SD kana my NAt Geo HD pa, HBO and HBO HD, Star Movies and Star Movies HD. What’s the point of having the same programming? Sayang lng ang binabayaran mo. Ang dapat nilang gawin is to separate SD package from HD. Dpt kung sino lng ang gusto na magkuha ng HD or para magkaroon ng better option ang mga tao.
their marketing is also very deceiving. they (Cignal) say na my HD kana 4 only P290. Mali yun kasi ang P290 package are consist of free-to-air channels that are broadcast in SD. Hindi ba pangloloko yan sa tao? If you haven’t done your research d mo tlaga malalaman na mahal ang Cignal compared to other DTH providers.
Try to see their P390 package: most of it are free-to-air channels with a extremely boring Bio Channel, Viva Cinema, and PBO. And for me, the ONLY entertaining channels are AXN, BTV, and HBO. I do find CNN interesting, but do you watch CNN like everyday? An average Filipino don’t even watch CNN at all! How can you find value to your money if I have to pay 390 bucks just to get SEVEN premium channels (given that i just consider Viva and PBO a piece of crap and my computation exclude free-to-air channels since you can access it any time via old school antenna!)
Trust me! I’ve been a Cignal subscriber for over a year and im telling you you’ll get bored with the programming they are offering you. I honestly can’t afford HD packages so I switch to Dream Satellite TV to get more premium channel like Discovery Ch., Nat Geo, etc. And DREAM is not that bad, kung ang Cignal on scale of 0-10 where 10 is very clear, i think i’ll give them a 9 and DREAM is 8.
SO think twice before subscribing to Cignal!
Tama!!! pero How about sa GSAT?? mura din yan di ba???
eh di mg GSAT ka na lng di pa sakit sa ulo kasi yung loading nya is by year ang every 6 months at hindi monthly,di pa hassle yun..
okey sana ang cignal ko kaso kung advance ako mag bayad cutoff ang cignal, punta ulit sa offc para report sa kanila. un mga staff nila walang kwenta pasok ka sa offc. nila wala man goodmorning or good afternoon wala cla mudo kailangan ikaw muna ang mag salita sa kanila, sa offc. ng olongapo
ako may cignal tv may 3months na free subscription pero ng matapos 3months di na ko makapagpaload pre-paid kc yung sa akin. di ko na macontact ang cignal useless lahat ang phone number nila kahit mag email sa kanila para kunin ko ang account number ko 2wks wala pa rin sagot kaya di ko rin nagagamit ang cable nila.
eh di swap mo sa ibang DTH gaya ng GSAT or Dream..
To know more about satellite just visit our website and read the FAQ…
sirs, ask ko lang kung may nakapag-try na ng cignal hd stb sa lcd monitor na may DVI input lang.
Thanks.
mga sirs ask ko lang if anyone tried cignal hd stb sa isang LCD monitor na may DVI input lang.
Is this one possible?
thanks.
may bago na rin ang GSAT,,may mga coming na sila na HD channel soon at may additional din na mga SD channel…watch for it…
just visit their website now may bago na sila mga channel line up sa ngayon….here it is www.cignal.tv
Haha good thing i visited yugatech bago ko mag subscribe sa Cignal. Hindi na ko papakabit, syempre mas maganda pa rin magbasa ng feedback ng mga customer kesa magbasa ng adds nila. Stay na lang ako with SkyCable.
Thanks guys.
Nako CIGNAL. Magsara na kayo muka pala kayong pera! hahahaha!
hahahah,,its funny when i read this blog,, we had an lcdtv on our house,, i thought it would be great to have an HDTV and thought that the Cignal would be free,, but when i read on how much it will cost, it makes me laugh,, hello, you dont need that kind of cignal if its too much expensive,, in other country as i know they are not paying for their digital cignal,, Thanks for this infO,, Godbless ^^
Thinking about having one… konti nga lang ang channels
sa CIGNAL, doble ang aparato mo. TV apparatus at Cignal apparatus.. so doble ang elecric bill mo! aside from messy connection because of signal cone attach to your roof. konti na ang channel, mahal pa ang monthly payment.
MAG Skycable ka na lang or Home cable. Dami na channel at cable lang ang gamit nila. direct sa TV(RF). walang apparatus so tipid kuryente.. mura pa Monthly.. at higit sa lahat, pwde kang mag splitter kung marami TV mo sa bahay! sa Cignal isang aparato, isang tv.. hindi pwede spliter.
Buti nman maraming complaints sa Cignal,,ang ayaw ko lang sa Cignal yung mga channel nila ino-offer sa 390pesos,,kunti lang kasi…hehehe!!!
Dave ang equivalent niyan sa Sky ay Digibox. I believe you are referring to analog w/c looks pixelated on non-crt TVs.
i’ve been complaining about my signal for more than a month now. wala parin respond 1290 pa naman ang monthly ko. waste of money. DONOT subscribe. i donot recommend it.
NOT WORTH TO GET CIGNAL TV!! FEW CHANNELS, PAYING FOR P390 A MONTH? PLUS THEIR KIT? DISH ETC..??? BESIDES, FEW CHANNELS TO OFFER AND WHAT’S WORST HERE, THEY REMOVED THE 2ND AVE. CHANNEL? 2 WEEKS OR LAST WEEK AGO!!! WITHOUT EVEN ADVISING THE SUBSCRIBERS!!! NO PROFESSIONALISM ALSO ON YOUR PART! WHAT GOOD CHANNELS CAN YOU STILL OFFER? MOST OF THEM ARE FREE CHANNELS!!! BETTER NOT TO SUBSCRIBE, NO GOOD!
kukunti pa ang channel ng cignal sa ngayon at hindi man magaganda ang channel na ino-offer nila,,,if I were you mag GSAT na lang kayo,,I tried it at saka mura pa with 30 channel malinaw ang reception…
malinaw ang t.v.rception nila at t.v. add pero ang service nila pangit…. sa lahat ng magpapakabit nang cignal 6months lang warranty tapos disposabol na gagastos ka ulit ng bago di kagaya na dream na mi service center.pero ang cignal wala wala dapat ang gobierno menomonitor din ito…calling senator jinggoy estrada,at sen chiz escudero pres.noy aquino pakiasikaso naman nito nangloloko lang ng mahihirap ang cignal satellite.after sales lang Sila.ang comworks na malAKING DEALAR NG CIGNAL INIWANAN NA DIN SILA…MAG ISIP MONA KAYO 1MILLION TIME BAGO KAYO MAG PAKABIT NG CIGNAL……MAGKAKA HIBLOOD LANG KAYO….
Cignal really has the super worst service ever. Magsara na kayo, refund nyo na lang lahat. Nagproprovide kayo ng service serbisyo nyo walang kakwenta kwenta.
mas ok pa ang GSAT mura pa with 30 channels at good for one year ang subscription at hindi ka palagi nag loload every month,,it is convenience for the subscriber…I had been subscribed to GSAT and I satisfied their service kasi wala ka na iisipin pa kasi your subscription is locked with in one year and after one year ka pa uli magrenew ng subscription so it is hassle free…malinaw pa ang reception at pang masa ang ang presyo…
This just happened to me now.
1. I thought there were notifications when one opens their TV for their billing. Wala.
2. I have not received any billing statements at all.
3. The billing statements could have helped remind me of paying pero since wala akong natatanggap is because I thought they are giving me goodwill, but then binabayaran ko din, hinahabol ko nga lang.
4. Last September 15, 2010, I paid thru Metrobank. They disconnected me September 16! I just knew about this because today September 19, ngayon lang ako nagbukas ng TV, dun ko lang nalaman kase wala na akong makitang channel except Channel 5 na me nakablock pang Welcome to Mediaquest.
6. I do not know why am i ranting on your blog, sir, but do forgive me for venting my ire.
7. PLDT pa naman is a big company. It is true pala that they do not give a damn about customer service.
8. Kaya lang ako forced to get satellite, is because SkyCable does not service our area. Kahit anong pakiusap ko, hindi daw puede.
MY ADVISE : DO NOT GET CIGNAL TV. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. AATAKIHIN LANG KAYO SA PUSO PAG DATING SA AFTER SALES SERVICE. GANO KAKITID ANG UTAK NILA WHEN IT COMES WITH DEALING WITH PROBLEMS.
alain G
hi sir..hehe kulit ka din yaw mo maniwala na sobrang panget servce ng cgnal?pero to answer ur ?…300 or 350 lng monthly installation is 5000 (ung nakuha q ah)pero pag nagkprob ka then ull need their servce tao palang na gagawa it’ll costs u na agad ng 800 :) gudluck po :)sana nkatulong q
i have lot of trouble with my cable here in laguna…i dont really get what i’ve paid for…napakalabo lahat ng channels super bagal pa ng responde nila, meron bang cignal dito sa siniloan laguna..how much per month and how can i have it?!!!
1 year and 2 months na akong subscriber ng Cignal at 3 channels lang ang dinagdag nila! Kainis! At sa tatlong ito, and Max ay d pa ma-access ng SD subscribers! Ang mahal din ng Sports Package nila at P200 per month. So P390 + P200 just to enjoy 22 channels, d b ang mahal? Don’t buy Cignal! Baka kc 5 years pa b4 sila magdagdag ng mga channels….!
Dana, nothing new about it, kasi kami imagine mo, 390 per month ang bill mo then papaadjust mo lang ung Satellite 1,000 ang babayaran mo… mas mahal pa ang service sa monthly ahh… walang consideration sa customer, to grade the Cignal, i give them NEGATIVE 20 (-20)… kulang pa ata ehh… ewan ko b kung bakit may ganyang company, kasi nanloloko lng ng consumer eh, siguro dapat isumbong sa DTI o SEC yan… idea lang…
hi! makikisali lang co’z im really disappointed with the service of CIGNAL TV…so please don’t get one!!! grabe kakainit ng ulo..i need a new box kasi..sabi nila they’ll try if they can repair it tpos i need to pay 1,500 for the repair plus 800 pa for the technician dba it really sucks!!why do i have to pay for the technician dpat covered n nla un..bakit ibng company..like skycable..pag may lumabas na tao d naman sila bnabayaran to fix the prob sa cable nila..kakainis tlga..plus pag nagpurchase ako ng bagong Box it costs 3,200..ok fine..pero here’s the catch..i still need to pay the techncian pa din daw ng 800..wow..grabe nman dba??!! sobrang kakagigil tlga..so please spread the word..panget service ng Cignal TV!!!! wala pang consideration e kaya nman nasira ung box kasi hndi nagamit after ng undoy pero hndi un nabasa ah..sinave nga nmen un..so kakainis tlga
-=wow cignal,,hmmm so far not gud,change the system in sd box,suck!in hd gud video quality,so pls add more channels!
Well, I’m just disappointed with Cignal, everytime service is so low. From the very start we applied until now, nothing change, their service suck. Like right now, we are having problem with the misalignment of our satellite dish. They are charging an arm & a leg, P1,000.00 for realigning, WOW. So that is the catch after all for having a Cignal Satellite. False advertisment everywhere, hope Radio Stations would come to their senses on endorsing Cignal…

Ok lang ang cignal. Limited but highly rated channels naman. good video reception compared to GSAT and Dream.I’ve been a dealer of dream for almost six years..as time goes on, the service becomes worst at paunti ng paunti ang channels. Under financial problem pa kasi. Under rehabilitation pa sila right now. W/ GSAT, bukod sa pixels and not so good reception, mukhang tag 1 year yung subscription. Walang monthly.Mabigat sa bulsa yan.So MAG CIGNAL nalang tau. It sells like a hotcake right now. Nagkakaubusan na ng mga units.So If you’re from davao city..please feel free to call us at 2268669.
i’ve been a cignal subscriber for 8 months. At 1st i was very satisfied yet after a couple of months i realize that cignal is only dedicated to their HD subscribers. So if your TV is still analog and you don’t have the money to buy HD and 2 pay P1,000 per month I think Dream Sat TV and G-sat suits you. Mafu-frustrate lang kayo sa tagal nilang magdadag ng channels. The channels that keep me satisfied with them are BTV, HBO, and AXN. Also their pay-per-view spelially if their is a Pacquiao fight. If you want to have Cignal think a million times 1st.
I have been a cignal subscriber and as long as you don’t have any problems, you are okay. But once you have issues like reconnection request, there is no cignal support to call. Their published numbers are always busy. No response too from their cignalcare email address. I caution anyone before subscribing to Cignal.
Global Detiny na lang muna ako… bukod sa malinao na rin mura (P500 per month) dami pang channels na maganda….
Saka na kapag meron channels na magaganda
sana naman dagdagan nila ng channel kahit star movies at discovery channel muna, para dumami subcriber nila
I just got the HD package of Cignal (costs 8k upon 1st installation with a 1k monthly fee). So far, I really enjoy History Channel, which I think is the only HD among the other 6 channels (HBO, Star Movies, Nat Geo, Disney Playhouse, ESPN and Star Sports). BUT they removed all the local channels except TV5. The picture quality is indeed very good, but sometimes History Channel breaks up and skips some frames. As with other digiboxes, the manual says that you shouldn’t use Cignal during lightning storms or you may damage your neighbor’s house when your room explodes.
ok lang,pero sa tingin ko kulang pa yung mga channel na ino-offer nila wala nga MTV,walang BBC,walang AL Jazzera,ang alas lang nila nito meron lang cla mga HD channel…pero kung marami clang channel na ino-offer cgurado maraming tatangkilik nito…dagdagan nyo nman ng channel kasi ang tao ibat-ibang gusto na channel…

ABS-CBN Philippines launches High Definition with Sony HDC-1400 High Definition Portable Studio Cameras
LAS VEGAS (NAB Booth #C11001) April 19, 2009 – ABS-CBN Philippines, Asia’s first commercial television broadcaster, has just announced its intention to acquire 24 Sony HDC-1400R HD portable studio cameras. ABS-CBN is upgrading its studio facility at Quezon City, north of Manila, from SD to HD and Sony was the obvious choice.
ABS-CBN owns the biggest cable network in the Philippines and is involved in the production of television programming for domestic and international audiences. They deliver content around the world to countries including North America, Europe and the Middle East.
The decision to upgrade to high definition was based on the increasing demand for high definition content from their domestic audiences and those that they export to around the globe. ABS-CBN is at the forefront of broadcasting in the Philippines and is the first to invest in Sony high definition studio cameras.
Although Sony has a long history of working alongside the network, ABS-CBN evaluated a number of products from other suppliers too. The decision to go with Sony was made even easier when their technical evaluation team saw the stunning picture quality delivered by the Sony HDC camera. The evaluation team, comprised of Mr. Edwin Mendoza, Head of Technical Production Facilities Management, Mr. Danton Wieneke, Head of News and Current Affairs Engineering and Mr. Raul Bulaong, Senior Vice President, Technical Operations Division, also noted that the portable HD studio camera offered enhanced operational flexibility for a variety of studio and Outside Broadcast applications.
Kudos to cignal. They have promo this month 1,500 plus 390.00 you can bring home your 1 set. I love cignal an alternative to dream, which cost too much.
Mabuhay kayo!!!!
naku huli na ang abs s digital. nauna na ang gma its simutaneous testing gma channels like gma 7 and qtv11 using uhf 27 frequency.. parang dzrh.. kya nga nagbukas ang gma dagupan etc nationwide kasi nga paghahanda yn ng gma s d technology which mean pwede m n mapanood pati provincial shows ng gma ng sabay sabay ganun yun…. abs puno n mg freequency nila kaya nga super di makita s LUZOn ang signal nila ng clear….pinabintangan pa ang low frequency ng channel 2 eh mali naman yun reason nila na ganun bagkus maina talaga ang frequency nila.. ala ng ambili ng mga yun kasi nga s tfc n lang kumiita ang as cbn iniwanan cla ng colgate palmolive at soon iiwanan din ng NBC networks at mga support from institution na instrumental para umakasang netwok.
hoy ka edong balimbing ka pa dream ka pa tapos kaw nag interview ’bout s cignal wahahhaha
hoi taga rizal mag baron kana lang muna dyan kng ayaw munang hd..wahaha,
bakit hindi kaya matapos ang digital ds 2015 nag start na nga yung abs cbn test broadcast, ewan jko yung gma, ano bang tawag sa mobile tv digital yun hindi analog pare…alam mo ba yung mobile tv? wahahah mytv complete na yun at yung rmn platform tapos na yun ewan ko ba bakit hindi nila pinofull yung channel…
peace….
initial list pa naman daw yang channel both sd and hd….
Not all channels are in HD. Pro it’s a start. I cant wait for HBO in HD. But then im sure the subscription to HBO HD will be expensive. Since June 2009, all local stations in the US are now broadcasting in digital signals and most of their channels are now in HD. I’ll probably subrivbe to Cignal.
Sana dagdagan ang reloding stati0ns. Paan0 na mga tga bary0? Alangan naman punta pa cla ng bayan pra maglod. Gwa na lng sana pRepaid card pra subscriber na lng maglod.
m0re chanels sana lyk espn, mtv nd discovery.
pagmer0n na mga i2, cgurado mga nka dream benta nla unit nla at bibili cla ng cignal.pro wag naman itataas ang mantly fee tulad ng dream na my package.
quote from abc:
“Santino at zorro lang pala panonoorin mo edi mag baron antenna ka na lang!”
hahaha lol! tama ka dyan! mag BARON super-antenna ka na lang hehehe!
serious part na tayo:
paano naman yung di ganon kayaman na mga tao dito sa pilipinas sabi daw hanggang 2015 na lang ang analog signals then sa january 1, 2016 digital na daw lahat. paano yung countdown to year 2016-pagdating ba nang 12 midnight digital na agad???
pero, ang bottomline di ako maniniwalang at the end of 2015 pa matatapos ang analog service dito sa pinas, maraming taong mag-aadopt at mahihirapan sa digital tv signals.
6 na taon pa naman eh, marami pang magaganap – malay natin sa next 6 years ang tv na nang lahat, digital TV na at wala nang analog.
Santino at zorro lang pala panonoorin mo edi mag baron antenna ka na lang!
well abs-cbn is gearing up and getting ready for HD. a recent article from Sony Asia saying that “abs-cbn philippines is aquiring HD 24 cameras. follow the link for further info!
http://www.sony-asia.com/pressrelease/asset/313561/section/pressreleases
wow! cant wait to see my favourite kapamilya tv shows in HD!!…. well done abs-cbn…
may HD service na ang Cignal. Full HD
will boradcast NBA finals on HD plus History HD and Play House Disney
meron na nga sa Laguna, kitang-kita ko nga ang Satellite Dish sa labas nang Electronic Shop, sana may mga Anime channels diyan kagaya nang Hero at Animax, para sure na sure na ang kailangan kong anime entertainment programming
CONS : 1. Not HD at all . The satellite
reciever is not capable of outputting HD
,there is no composite output , no HDMI
output , It only has standard AV
cables to connect to your tv . Offering
HDTV is very misleading .
2. No Discovery Channel
3. Most PBO movies are from 10-15 years ago
4. Ugly looking satellite reciever unit , It
doesnt even show channels on its front
panel .
5 .Where the heck am I going to load my
subscription ? I’ve been calling the
Office and the cable guy and no answern?I
wish there was an easy online method to
do so ..
PROS : 1. Clear for standard definition tvs .
2. Cheap alternative from DREAM who offers
HBO and Cinemax only at plan 890 .
3 . Disney Channel ! :)
guys! i think you should try Cignal lalo na if you’re looking for a high quality video. Kaya lang if look at the other side of the coin kaunti lang ang channel. i’m currently subscribing to cignal and my satisfaction rating is 70%. Hope they add more channels bago ko pa pagsawaan ang Basketball TV, AXN, and HBO. Mga taga Cignal add Discovery, National Geography, History Channel, Star Movies, Cinemax, ESPN, Solar Sports. Basta dagdagan nyo lang.
I don’t seen any mention of High definition quality to the above channels.
I think I’ll stick to my Skycable subscription until more Asian channels (Nat. Geo, HBO, Cinemax and so on) become available in HD.
The attraction of this service is supposedly the high-def broadcast. Too bad no local channels offer hd broadcast at this point. I’m not sure about HBO and other foreign channels if they broadcast HD in this side of the Earth. Besides, no dedicated sports channel. Will have to pass for now.
For more information on Cignal Digital TV, call (02) 8956353 or 0908-7699-119 or e-mail at Cignal****@****.***.
at mga sir 3890++ na lang po ang subcription for post paid, 1month free. for prepaid po 7400++ 11moths service po. after 11 month ang loading nyo po. take note guys Digital bagy na bagay sa LCD TV.
Mga sir bago lang po kasi ang CIGNAL. Pero the made a promise na dadagdagan nila ang channels. Take note guys, if you subcrive Cignal before the promo summer period you can watch tha pacman and hatton for free on CIGNAL.
ang konti ng channels. sa susunod na lang pagmarami na.
Ahh! I checked the link ni mel
http://www.lookpic.com/files/cignal_promo_copy__Small_.jpg
May nakalagay dun about “digitally enhanced” channels
Ibig ba sabihin nun yung mga channel like PBO and Viva Cinema pwede na i-enhance to hi-def? Waw naman! Kaya lang parang konti lang channels eh!? Sana man lang dinamihan nila.
Now that the whole world is moving into the Internet, di ko na kailangan ito. Ok na din ako sa Sky Cable. Mataas naman ang tolerance level ko sa di malinaw na tv.

@aldrin
if you want internet services you can always get it from Cignal Digital TV’s sister brands, ie. Smart Bro, PLDT WeRoam, PLDT myDSL which are all part of the PLDT group.
I see posters/flyers of this in Dasma… Do they also provide internet service?
thanks for link, abe.
More info coming up in that same page: Promo, more photos and Christine Reyes! :-)
Pinoy Box Office? Are you kidding us? Kaya pang i high definition ang mga un, e parang kinuha lang sa digicam mga pelikulang pinoy e.
SkyCable is only 620 petot for 40 channels here in Rizal. Picture quality is not HQ. but do you need a super HQ signal para lang manuod ng Santino or Zorro?
Absoulutely Not.
buti sana kung tinatad nila yan ng Movie Channels, Nat Geo & Discovery. I’ll ask my dad to get one.
:)
Like I said on Ka Edong’s post, I’d go for Dream Sat TV for now. :D
