@pentium: just want to ask, kasi sometimes ung schedule guide is inaccurate. mali ung time and sometimes walang guide ung ibang channel. anong pwdeng gawin dun?


I have observed it refreshes every 1st week of the month.
schedule guide is provided by respective channel owner.
so, what they give is what you will see on the channel guide (EPG)

Sir P4, as per advice ng TP namin dito. Coz i have an existing prepaid 590 tapos iwant another box. so nag suggest siya na mas mabuti kumuha ng bagong plan tapos yung existing prepaid box ko will be converted to extension. tapos 890 lang daw monthly ko. is this possible/true?

@echo2knight - maybe u can scale down your stb's resolution to 720p. is your tv native resolution 720p?

STB's reso is set 720p, TV's native reso is 720p but 1080p ready.

Maganda naman ang reception, sometimes may pixelation maybe due to fast frames or transmission ng signal.

Lately, di kagad accurate ang stb time from hardboot, unlike before the channel upgrade. Inaabot pa muna ng 1hr bago tumama yung time ng stb.

I have never encountered such workaround. It is possible but not likely.
It takes too many steps to accomplish such conversion and addbox.

I'm interested in Cignal's Plan 430 HD. It already has Fox Sports Plus HD and Animax channels!  ;D

Sayang mag switch na sana kami to cignal kasi napakamahal ng additional hdbox sa sky. Kaso wala pang fibr dito sa area namin.... Bawal kasi yung dish sa place ko. Ganda pa naman sana ng promo if mag switch ka from sky. And panalo yung price for 8mbps + 19hd channels

Guys question lang yung Fox Sports HD ba sa cignal same din sa sky na puro nascar ang palabas? Gusto ko kasi sana tulad nung sa SD ng sky na may football. Will switch kasi pag naging available na fibr dito sa area namin.

Looking at Cignal's wikipedia page and to my surprise there's a section for Cignal's future channels. Quite a lot of new channels, just not sure if it's legit though.

Have had my Cignal setup for over a week now and am very happy. Coming from SkyCable I have to say most of the SD channels look much clearer on Cignal apart from ABS-CBN and Studio 23 (gee I wonder why..). I would say the only SD channel that needs tweaking is National Geographic SD, Its a little blurry. The HD channels look basically the same to me as Sky's.


Value for money I believe Cignal is the way to go. Don't get me wrong I was very happy with SkyCable's services and channel section. A few reasons why I switched is every time Sky would add HD channels you had to pay extra to have them. The "All In Pack" hasn't been "all in" for almost a year now, and the Dual Def 1799 was just for "New subscribers" at the time of my disconnection. Being a SkyCable subscriber for 8 years and then being told that, did not make me happy at all. Plus also the P1799 plan is lacking so many channels as its just the local Free To Air channels and the 30 HD channels, with no options of adding certin channels such as BTV, Balls ect.


I'm hoping big things are coming from Cignal and judging as the months go by all I see are improvements. I would like to see more sports HD channels aka: ASN HD (All Sports Network), and more channels in the P1590 plan. I am hopeful these additions will be added this year. Am I missing some channels from SkyCable? Sure I am, but I am not going to miss an ever increasing cable bill every month.

Congrats on your switch @kswager!
"fingers crossed" something is coming in soon ;)

@iphat: SW update was for correcting the issue on boot loader that happened last month which resulted to STB starting up failure. also, to prepare for future SW update that should be done OTA (over The Air). this is for both Pace Satellite and IPTV boxes.

Been a cignal subscriber for 2 days ( switched from Sky) and im very happy so far. Kaya lang nawalan ng signal for 15mins nung umulan. I hope hindi madalas mangyari ito. Im on plan 790, binan, laguna area.

Normal lang ba na mahina ang sound from hdmi ng stb? Any work around para mapalakas? At wala ba talagang "return to previous channel" button ang remote?
