Title: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: jay2 on Apr 19, 2009 at 07:34 PM



Has anybody tried this new satellite provider?

http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/cignal.html


Inaadvertise sa sulit.com
( http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/1245695/Cignal+Digital+TV+Cavite-+Pacquiao-Hatton+Fight+Live! )
free ang pacquiao-hatton fight next month and the picture quality ay parang dvd.

Been thinking kung papalitan ko na subscription ko sa dream eh.

bago pa kasi sya.  PLDT's first foray into digital cable, i read somewhere that they plan on offering HD content in the future too.  If that happens it'll be a toss up between what they have to offer vs what skycable has.

hopefully, this turns out to be healthy competions with the consumers receiving most of the benefits lol...

Just got my Cignal last Saturday, very clear reception nga. initial set-up is 4,390 w/ free 1 month, then 390 pesos a month. As per my Cignal agent, channel line-up posted in http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/cignal.html is fixed for the 390 pesos subscription, then additional channel line will be introduced on June, 2009 probably together with the HD channels at additional cost. Soft launch of Cignal in Cavite, Bulacan, Laguna areas. Full launch is also on June, 2009. FYI.

ano ano pa po ang HD channels nila?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: newwaveboy on Jun 03, 2009 at 01:43 PM
@Grimlock ..... are the HD channels come as additional channels (added montly fees)? Or included na dun P390 channel line-up?

Good to know, meron nang alternative sa Dream Satellite ..... sobrang garapal kasi itong Dream - taas nang monthly fees nila pero minimal channel line-up.

No choice kaming mga taga-Laguna & Cavite areas.


 

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: ganicru on Jun 03, 2009 at 02:26 PM
Di daw included sa P390, bali P790 per month. Upgrade pa daw ng box to HD, P4800 + P1K installation, ibabawas yung cost ng old SD box.  Pero wait daw till July, may standard signal na rin nung mga HD channels.

wait muna koh.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Jun 03, 2009 at 02:50 PM
Bro, as per cignal agent, 790 per month for the 3 HD channels plus the basic package of 390, so lumalabas
400 pesos for the 3 HD channels. Pag existing cignal user ka, you need to pay for P4,090 for the digital STB box, 2 meters HDMI cable and installation fee. Pwede na din. They are also working to get Discovery-HD. I la -launch na ang cignal sa public this June so wait tayo for developments.

Thanks for the info mga pre.

Wait na lang din muna ako till June/July ..... ubusin ko na muna itong 1-month load ko nang Dream Satellite.

By the way, I saw the channel lineup for the basic P390 CIGNAL package ..... still a bit basic compared to your local wired cable provided - BUT sill much better the P390 DREAM package.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Jun 04, 2009 at 08:24 AM
Yup Sir, nasa initial phase pa lang ang Cignal kaya more to come pa daw esp. HD channels and additional
channel line-up

If you find SkyCable's offering bad here's an alternative

http://www.filsat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8656&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

No corporate site yet but they're rolling it out this month.

Between FTTH and this I am in awe of PLDT's mad mad skills.

Post by: jeyps11_c on Jun 05, 2009 at 08:53 AM
Parang nabasa ko sa Star yesterday ang advertisement nila sa isang article.
400+ (can't remember if 499) for the Discover HD and History HD channels.
Tapos meron ata 700++ for 2 channels on HD, they were even including the broadcast of the NBA Finals in HD.
Pero parang on top of you Sky subscription ang offer nila then you'll need to change your box.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: jeyps11_c on Jun 05, 2009 at 09:02 AM
Tama ba intindi ko dun sa channel line up. Around 20 channels pa lang plus the HD channels (if you avail) for 390 + 790.

Ang alam ko P390 (standard, around 20 channels lang) + P400 (if you want HD).

Not sure where the rest is from. Maybe alvinthx2 can give us a breakdown. :)

Regarding HD, wala pa ako sa bahay, but Disney pa lang at NBA finals, wala pa raw History channel for now. When I get home, I'll check the line up, Hoping for the addition of Discovery HD channel sana.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: metalgodz on Jun 05, 2009 at 04:33 PM

i believe limitation is on the dealer / support side only not on the coverage (should be nationwide) since this is via satellite. you can always buy the kit (ant and box) and install it yourself wherever your are in the country.

thank you
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: xdaatom206 on Jun 05, 2009 at 05:02 PM
hi alvinthx2,

could you please confirm the robustness of the the signal? i dont know if all direct to home satellites are all created equal but previously with dream, when it rains you lose the service thus prompted me to discontinue with the service.

thanks.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: alvinthx2 on Jun 06, 2009 at 06:58 AM
Yes, you loose the signal when the rain pours.

I have a strong signal coming from the dish and the picture quality is better than Dream. HD was excellent at 1080i and deinterlaced by my pre/pro to 1080p. I watched the NBA finals(replay) last night and the quality is a 10/10! Audio was in stereo and there were no commentaries from announcers. Have not fully compared the regular channels with Dream but it seems that Cignal does not compress as much as it's competitor.

For now just 2 channels for HD , Disney and NBA finals.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: raptor on Jun 06, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Sirs,

Does it use satellite disc at home similar to Dream, or via cable?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: alvinthx2 on Jun 06, 2009 at 12:36 PM
Just like Dream
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Sayang naman NBA Finals in HD kaso walang commentary. Ang hirap nun.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Jun 06, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Just got my Cignal HD this afternoon. Wifey and I are enjoyng the HD very much  :)

HD channels right now is NBA live HD, if there is no game, it is Voom-HD. the other one is History-HD. HD channels are crisp and clear, highly recommended! Clear pa din kahit umuulan!

HD box is Humax XH7000, HDMI connectivity, ethernet and optical audio out, no digital coax audio out

Hope more HD channels and SD channel line-up in the future!


Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: jeyps11_c on Jun 07, 2009 at 03:02 PM
Sir Grim,

Ilan ang total channels? Baka lang nag iba na comapred to the original 20 that they advertised.
Ano yung Voom-HD...I mean what are they showing?

SAka 1 subscription per TV po ito right. Kasi kailangan ng box per unit. Or pwede din ba parang mga regular cable na splitter lang ang katapat.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Jun 09, 2009 at 08:19 AM
There are 3 channels on the initial offering, History-HD, NBA-HD/Voom-HD, Disney Playhouse (to follow)
Then, there are 6 more channels in the testing stage, no list yet but according to my agent, probably, Discovery-HD, ESPN-HD, Nat-Geo-HD. Pag walang NBA game Voom-HD shows general interest shows, fashion docu, may motocross pa ako nakita.

As for the the subscription, you may choose from monthly or 10-months. You will be needing a HD Set top box receiver/decoder (Humax Xh-7000), a 75 cm sattelite dish. LNB, coax cable. This will be provided by Cignal.

Here's a breakdown of fees (http://www.eclecticelectronics.net/philippines/cignal-digital-tv-sd-hd-and-combo-packages-along-with-installation-equipment-and-monthly-rates/) for Cignal Digital TV which potential subscribers might find helpful.

For the standard definition package, they have an ongoing promo where the box would only cost you P2,500 instead of the normal P3,200. Promo good until June 30, 2009.

Guys,

Has anyone of you subscribed to Cignal Digital TV and installed on either LCD or Plasma? I'm in Laguna and subscribed to it using his Panasonic 32LX80. I observed that the PQ is not that good. Local channels are blurry. But when I tried observing their demo unit in one of the establishment here in Sta. Rosa, the PQ is good but the TV unit is SlimFit TV and not LCD or Plasma. Do you guys think that this has something to do with what kind of TV these digital cable TV will be installed? Thanks guys....
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: blued888 on Jun 16, 2009 at 05:10 PM
Standard pa rin yung normal channels. Possibly just a little bit better than cable.

Yung HD channels lang ata talaga yung sobrang linaw.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Since access to the satellite is controlled via a smartcard, can I use a set top box from a third party (Say a Motorola set top box from SG that has a DVR function) and just get the card from them and pay only for subscription?

How about SQ?

Unfortunately, the smartcard & STB are paired by Cignal to prevent card sharing and hacked cards
SQ is good; Dolby Digital on HD channels

Sa mga naka cignal, na try nyo na ba kabit sa AVR yung satellite box?

i noticed that sa settings you can change the audio to PCM or Dolby. I tried viewing HD channels using both settings pero 2.0 lang lumalabas sa audio nya  ??? This could also be dependent on the broadcast

Yung cartoon channel di masyadong hidef yung dating but the others ok very clear.

Sd channels are better than skycable when I compared it  ;)

An add shown in sulit.com mentioned audio to be 'stereo' only.  So I think the problem is the source (its in stereo only), the box is capable of pcm/dolby surround.  Maybe in the future broadcast will be in surround sound.

I called cignal earlier wanting to give it a try.  I asked about lock in period and apparently it is 24 months.  I find that too long.. pano kung pangit pala or kung di na nadagdagan yun HD channels e hindi sulit yun.

To those who subscribed, how is the SD broadcast compared to sky?  Iniisip ko kung SD na lang i subscribe ko, inaalala ko talaga baka di na madagdagan yung HD channels tapos naka lock in ako ng 24 months.  Pag 6 or more na HD channels thats good enough for me.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Jul 22, 2009 at 12:50 PM

Bro jetro, that is correct, 2 yrs lock-in period, pero for me sulit ito kasi malinaw talaga SD. as for HD channels, ito talaga pambato nila, HD quality talaga. This coming August more HD & SD channels to come. may nag scan na nga sa kabilang forum and found a new transponder for Cignal with 6 HD channels. This means that seperate ang TP ng HD channels sa SD, so mas lilinaw ito and more room for additional HD channels. Yung mababakante namang TP, pandagdag ng SD channels, so very promising talaga. PLDT ba naman eh

I called cignal earlier wanting to give it a try.  I asked about lock in period and apparently it is 24 months.  I find that too long.. pano kung pangit pala or kung di na nadagdagan yun HD channels e hindi sulit yun.

To those who subscribed, how is the SD broadcast compared to sky?  Iniisip ko kung SD na lang i subscribe ko, inaalala ko talaga baka di na madagdagan yung HD channels tapos naka lock in ako ng 24 months.  Pag 6 or more na HD channels thats good enough for me.

Bro jetro, that is correct, 2 yrs lock-in period, pero for me sulit ito kasi malinaw talaga SD. as for HD channels, ito talaga pambato nila, HD quality talaga. This coming August more HD & SD channels to come. may nag scan na nga sa kabilang forum and found a new transponder for Cignal with 6 HD channels. This means that seperate ang TP ng HD channels sa SD, so mas lilinaw ito and more room for additional HD channels. Yung mababakante namang TP, pandagdag ng SD channels, so very promising talaga. PLDT ba naman eh





question is, with more hd channels coming, mag increase kaya significantly ang price.... hope kung may increase. konti lang.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Yun din sa tingin ko bka mag increase, pero baka hindi gaano kataas kasi talo sila, nagpapakilala pa lang sila dapat pa dama muna.
Nagtest broadcast kaninang umaga ng HD Sony Entertainment TV. Sana i offer na din nila Discovery HD & ESPN-HD

Hi folks, just had my Cignal combo package installed today and I can attest that IT ROCKS! 3 HD channels are included - History, Disney HD and VOOM - plus 21 SD's. Even the SD's are very clear and noise-free and more HD channels are in the pipeline daw.

History HD on my 50" Sony SXRD is awesome, like watching Blu Ray videos all the time. I am in Olongapo BTW, and I was customer #001 hehe

Technicians from Cignal installed the dish yesterday. I am not impressed with sd chaneels since they show minimum effect considering that they are already in digital transmission. But the hd channels are awesome. Really blu-ray quality. Downfall is i still can't receive broadcast from the playhouse-hd channel. Already called up their attention to this.

I am using a toshiba 42' full hdtv. Do we have to lower the resolution from 1080i to 480i to make the sd channel clearer? Why is it if the picture or the channel is in menu mode, it is clearer than to make it full screen? Can somebody experience what i am experiencing? Please help.

They will have additional hd channel for the days to come but a minimum monthly charge would have to be made.

2 hd channels palang ang offer ng cignal. I already saw the demo of of the HD offering but i was not that impressed so i did not subscribe for it. Medyo sanay na kasi ang mata ko sa Blu-ray and it is not even near to that quality.

Will have to check the quality of the SKY HD soon. Sana mas maganda.

Hi stud, no need to lower the resolution to have clear SD. I am currently using 1080i and my SD channels are clear, my signal strength is 180% signal quality is 100%. As for the screen menu, i think it is normal & will look sharper since it is around 6 inch screen size compared to your 42" when turned to full screen.

Uy, Cignal. Nasa taas lang office nila sa'min. And some of their staff share the same floor space with us. We have employee packages (can't recall how much) but I didn't tap into it. I hardly watch TV anyway.

Yes, I'm part of their parent group (MQ) but not of MS. We share the same CEO though.

So how's their technical support?

napapangitan na ko sa channel lineup ng Cignal SD. wala na bang idadagdag. kala ko ba meron pa. mag september na,wala pa din. walang music channel. although di kasalanan ng Cignal. i hate what happened to AXN and 99.5RT. Dati maganda format/shows nila, ngayon di ko ma gets. what are they thinking.

Basically kasi i live in a remote area, and swak ang cignal, meron din kami dream sat btw. i more than want the radio channels kasi yunyung what i grew up with and my musical taste (WTM and RT). I FEEL I DIDN'T LEFT mANILA WITH THSE RADIO CHANNELS. Sana magreformat uli RT. hehe

BTW, yung HD ng Cugnal is only for POSTPAID, no prepaid, kaya ayaw ko mag HD.

Had mine installed on the last day of the promo. Ilan din sa kapitbahay ko ang nagpakabit. Our village is n its 1st year pa lang kaya talagang dependent sa satellite cable. Just want to ask kung paano maincrease ang signal quality and strength?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: stud on Sep 18, 2009 at 01:58 PM
Only the installer can set the signal quality and the signal strengh. What they do is point the dish in the exact point of the satellite. If you can not receive both, then you can not watch or see anything on your tv set.

I am still patiently waiting for their other hd channels. Boring na ang history and voom channel and playhouse is for kids only.

Just got this information from Cignal last Friday, though this is not yet officially announced, this will be the additional channel line up for HD as of the moment:
 
a.  HBO; ESPN; History; Star Movies; Disney Playhouse; Sony Entertainment Vision; FX HD
 
with this additional channels, there will also be an increase in their Monthly subscription rate, as per Cignal it will be a little less than P1,200 per month.

Hmmm mukhang wala pang linaw talaga, kasi may splash screen ad na sa Cignal ch 48 & HD ch 53. Nakalagay "Soon, 7 new HD channels". Disney Playhouse is an existing HD channel, not new. So, lumalabas 7 new plus 3 existing, 10 total HD channels. As for the price, kung correct yung 1,200, may kamahalan nga, pero iba talaga yung HD channels eh, so sa akin kukunin ko pa din.

My father-in-law subscribed to this... pero parang hindi sulit sa price so he will stop the subscription first. Once there are more HD channels, and if the price is lowered, he will consider it again. medyo buggy rin kasi yung set-top box. Sometimes, it doesn't react well with the remote. You'll need to reset the unit for it to work again.

Siguro if they have around 20 HD channels already, and the price is the same, then join na rin ako! :-)

4. Set Top Box = Digibox ??
5. Mabilis lang kaya magapply for this and what usually ang requirements?

Sir,

How'd you know that these channels are upconverted from SD to HD? did they specify this or did you see notice from the signal quality? and another question - how do these upconverted channels compare to their SD counterparts? Malaki ba ang difference?

Thanks!

One tv per digibox. But you can use splitter on other additional tv. Ang problema lang ay paglipat ng channel ng isa, yung iba din maglilipat ng channel. Di ko lang sure kung mag-iiba quality ng hd channels.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Oct 05, 2009 at 10:11 AM
on the question on how to recognize true HD and upconverted. Firstly, you will notice the broadcast. HD content are really defined, small things are noticeable, even makeup. Upconverted broadcast is like watching dvd on an upconverter/upscaller player, so clearer compared to SD. Second is that the station ID of the content provider usually boast that they are in HD, e.g. History-HD, Discovery-HD, etc. In the case of HBO HD, HBO flashes from time to time "you are watching "title of show/movie" in High Definition" since they can not put yet HBO-HD in their station ID since HBO is broadcasting the same show/movie in SD.
My initial experience w/ HBO-HD last weekend were superb. Watched Sydney White, Hellboy II and Mama Mia!, all in blu-ray quality broadcast.

I checked the box from the demo unit of the agent here in Pampanga..I noticed that their cable box has spdif/optical output..does this mean that they will be broadcasting multichannel audio?

how about when they increased their HD lineup again?will they increase the monthly fee again? me future plans ba sila for other HD channels?

I emailed these questions to them and I hope they will respond
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

I am sure they will add other HD channels but you have to pay additional premium for it.

yep, that's true, kapamilya channel is somehow malabo compared to other channels,....and those HD channels added were confirmed that its almost like bluray-like PQ and it outputs to 5.1 thru HDMI....but these were from Cignal HD subscribers,,,,

Bro kolokoy, free pa nila binibigay new HD channels sa mga HD subscribers, parang playhouse disney dati. Pwede ka mag subscribe ng HD pero kunin mo lng yung 790 per month. sa akin, pag hindi true HD ang ESPN, hindi ko kukunin.
As for Ch 2, sumpungin ito eh, minsan malabo, minsan malinaw. Buti na lang kapuso kami, linaw ng 7 parang CNN na ang quality  ;D

@kolokoy, correct, 790 pa din bayad ko this month, kahit napapanood ko na mga new HD channels, wala pa broadcast ESPN, F/X HD & star movies HD. tinanong ko din Cignal Support, sabi wala munang singil :-)

@disturbed- May optical audio out yung HD set top box, pero nung nag try ako using my Denon AVR, Dolby Pro logic yung lumabas, hindi Dolby Digital 5.1 :-(, so TV speakers na lang muna ako

@stud- Bro, meron HD package lang, 990 per month. Thanks for the heads-up on Oct 9, inaabanagn ko kung maganda HD quality ng ESPN eh.

Pards gustoko rin mag subscribe sa cignal. Tanong ko kung naka Av input ung cignal pede ko ibalik sa cable ung signal ng tv.pede ba un? chaka san ko pede makita ung actual na PQ ng cignal somewhere in makati pards.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Oct 09, 2009 at 08:27 AM
For the AV input, pwede mo pa rin magamit cable kasi yung STB ng Cignal ay gumagamit ng composite (SD box) or HDMI (HD box) para makabit sa TV, so lalabas mag switch ka lang ng AV input e.g. use AV1 to view cable tv, use AV2 to watch Cignal. AS for the demo, wala akong alam dito dahil subscriber lang ako, you may call Cignal at 8956353 or 8901165 for demo.

btw, FX-HD was replaced by National Geographic HD, so today, magkakaroon na lahat ng broadcast. Will post comment esp. the quality of NatGeo HD

Last night nag tweak ang Cignal, sobrang linaw na ng SD channels nila. sa mga naka Cignal, check it out, yung GMA 7 parang CNN na sa linaw ang broadcast.
As for the Cignal HD, watched The Kingdom in HBO HD last night, iba pala talaga pag HD, meron ako orig DVD nito at nka upscaler ang dvd player ko, pero iba pa rin pag HD, full of details almost 3d like  :)

Wow ESPN's still bad? On regular cable ESPN probably has the one of the worst video signals in the channel lineup. Siguro just as bad as scifi.Akala ko at least maaayos nila when they upconvert.

One guide on how to check if true HD na, may logo na CIGNAL-HD, pag SD or upconverted, red CIGNAL logo lang. Another way to check is see the quality of the broadcast esp. with people on it, pag true HD, well defined ang hair, crisp ang mga mata, shiny at eyelashes kitang kita. Skin tone are clear, even crevices and imperfections are visible.

Here are some pictures I took off the screen of my 50" SXRD to give you guys some idea of the signal quality. As of tonight (Oct 15) only 3 channels are truly HD (near-BluRay quality). These are HBO HD, StarMovies HD and History HD. The rest are upconverted although the red Cignal HD logo is displayed. Cignal's SD channels are very clear, especially CNN, Ch Q and Ch 7.

Channels
ch 50 HBO                  true HD :D
ch 51 Star Movies HD   Sometimes, depending on program :-\
ch 52 NatGeo HD         not HD :-[
ch 53 History HD          true HD :D
ch 54 Playhouse           not HD :-X
ch 55 blank                   ???
ch 56 ESPN 1080i         not HD :(
ch 57 StarSports 1080   not HD :(

Hi guys, newbie here :)

excellent shots sir BongC36!

regarding the upconverted channels, another observation is that even if they have the "Cignal Hd" logo they still have the relative (mis)proportion of the images. If you have a 16:10 or 16:9 screen you would really notice them, making the images look stretched. They would end up looking like the SD channels, yet they would be cleaner of course. Maybe they never changed the aspect ratio to be well proportioned when they digitally enhanced the channels, nagiging klaro nga tumataba naman. The only way to deal with this is if you have a wide zoom option on your screens, thats what I do on my SD channels.

Post by: Grimlock on Oct 16, 2009 at 08:51 AM
Nice pics Bong, good reference for Cignal HD would-be subscribers. The Cignal-HD logo has been implemented yesterday on all new HD channels so this is no longer a good indication if true-hd or upconverted. The good news is the new logo is translucent & non intrusive, good for our flat panel.
As for the aspect ratio, noticed this also, what I did was set the HD box to 16:9, 1080i, then set my tv panel to "full". Correct na yung AR.

@ Anchit, thanks :-)  hd promo is really needed to spark interest. wish ko na sana 900 pesos na lang instead of 1290 ;-)
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: BongC36 on Oct 16, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Thank you. :) I just want those who don't have it yet to see what we are raving about hehe. My pics dont really do justice to the PQ.

That's what I did too, set my TV to FULL and the STB to 16:9 to get the correct aspect ratio. I've been noticing that the SD channels are really getting very clear, I was watching CNN earlier and the video was very sharp. Maybe they are doing some processing on the SD's too?

BTW, according to my contact at Cignal the "enhanced" channels will ALL be full HD soon!

Cheers!

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Oct 19, 2009 at 08:48 AM
Bro, I am still paying P 790, my last billing is 790 up to Nov 5. Kaya lubus lubusan ang panonood ko ng mga HD channels hehehe, pero mukhang kukunin ko na rin sya at 1290, bumaba pa sana  ;D

@ Bong, sana nga mag true HD na nga yung mga upconverted. Sulet yun!

History HD and HBO HD lang ang true HD broadcast, kitang kita talaga ang ebidensya, pero last night yung movie na Maid of Honor, upconverted lang sa HBO HD, siguro di nila nakuha HD version nito. Star Movies is super linaw but it is not true HD broadcast.

todate, as of Oct 19, 2009

1. HBO-HD- True HD broadcast
2. History HD- True HD broadcast
3. Playhouse Disney- Upconverted
4. Star Sports- Upconverted
5. Star Movies- Upconverted
6. ESPN- Upconverted
7. National Geographic HD- upconverted

Post by: edrel sison on Oct 23, 2009 at 09:55 AM
just had my cignal standard package installed 2 weeks ago. the best channel for SD would be the CNN, for local it would be GMA7. Cartoon network, disney channel, HBO movies, BTV are acceptable but somewhat compressed. BTVs fast paced action on the court would annoy because of the compression. Worst local channels are 2, 4, 5, 9 though not necessarily unclear but a very good outdoor antenna specially if you are in Manila would beat the hell out of the compressed broadcast coming from Cignal for local channels.

probably using a smaller screen would somewhat make the compression more bearable. i am currently using a 42 inch HD ready tv.

but for 390 per month in a far flung area in cavite i cannot anymore complain.

specially when i see my youngest eyes lit, grinning ear to ear watching cartoons and those disney programs.

"pa, ako muna manood ha, ubusin ko palabas!" hay nako....

btw, sinabi na sa akin yung price ng Pacman-Cotto PPV kaso hindi pa pwede i post, hindi pa official eh. masasabi ko lang, abot kaya naman

thanks grimlock for the update, i will definitely order firepower ppv.

where you at in cavite? how's the fast paced action of BTV suits your screen, acceptable ba? there are other channels that i thought are quite compressed, really annoying pag nagpipixelize. i might upgrade to HD programs siguro pag kumpleto na HD channels.

do you think the cignal HD package is worth every cost? magkano nga ba? 900 per month right?

@ edrel- Gen Tri ako bro, malinaw naman sa amin, all channels, no pixellation, compression baka i report mo sa nag install ng Cignal mo. Sulet HD bro, 790/month kuha ko dati kaso ngayon after 8 new HD, 1290/month na, sulit pa din. Mas OK pag widescreen TV para sulet talaga.

@ kolokoy- Hehehe hayaan muna natin maging official, para sure, bka ma quote tayo ;-). Pero dun sa initial price, pwede na di ba, sa bahay ka pa at kasama family.

Noticed that yung logo ng HBO in HD nakalagay na "HBO HD". so talagang pag true HD na, ipagmamalaki talaga yan ng content provider. May lumalabas na din sa mga new HD channels ng reminder na call Cignal to continue enjoying the channel, alam mo na ibig sabihin nun, it paying time! Wink

2. Whats the aspect ratio for SD Channels? 4:3 or stretch the face to fit 16:9 (ugly).

3. I dont want to change my previous cables which is embedded inside the walls, will this work with Cignal?

Thanks!
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: alvinthx2 on Oct 29, 2009 at 09:53 AM
True HD aspect ratio is 16:9
SD channels 4:3, very nice especially CNN
Upconverted channels are SD 4:3 converted to 16:9 (very ugly)
If your cable is rg6, then you are fine. RG59 might not cut it.

There are only 2 TRUE HD channels, this is the reason I am not subscribing to the HD only package at 990.

This company customer service "SUCK" big time. They choose to ignore their problem than facing it head on.Try calling their line, its either you get a busy tone or ringing without anyone answering. The cellphone contact number is always out of coverage or turn off any time of the day.
The last Saturday strong wind may have knock off many satellite dishes or misalign and they must have barage of complains coming their way. They now sit on it and wait out.

This company customer service "SUCK" big time. They choose to ignore their problem than facing it head on.Try calling their line, its either you get a busy tone or ringing without anyone answering. The cellphone contact number is always out of coverage or turn off any time of the day.
The last Saturday strong wind may have knock off many satellite dishes or misalign and they must have barage of complains coming their way. They now sit on it and wait out.
Nasisira pangalan ni MVP sa inyong mga palamunin.

Because of this post, me, my brother and sister (3 houses = 3 accounts) will now abort our plans of getting this Cignal. Actually I've been trying to call them for almost 2 months now but could not get through, lalo na ngayon pag madaming problema.

Cutomer service is first and foremost so they better improve it asap or else walang magpapakabit sa kanila.

Marami ring nag re-reklamo ngayon sa custumer hotline ng Cignal, mukhang sobra dami nilang calls, lalo na sa pacman fight, dapat siguro mag dagdag na sila costumer support. Try calling just after lunch time para makalusot calls nyo, you may want to call their cell no. 09087699119

Finally, after a week of calls,email, patience.They fixed my satellite. It is now working. The technician try to collect 1000 from me for the service call. I said il pay directly. Never knew and was not told by Cignal there's a service charge. My opinion, if they installed it properly during the installation, it might not get misalign. My taiwan satelite is still working properly after the storm,D.I.Y. lang.
Anyway, Im now ready for Pacquiao-Cotto fight next week except when there will be another typhoon to blow it apart.

Bro, kailangan mong tawagan ang Cignal agent mo for the activation of the PPV, P350 for SD subscriber and old HD subsciber, free for new HD bundle subs (w/ new 7 HD channels). Ang indication na activated na yung PPV mo is that may mapapanood kang previous fights ni pacman sa ch 49 for SD. For HD subs, magkakaroon ng new upconverted ch 59, so mas malinaw, HD-like ang fight na mapapanood mo.

Pards napahirap tawagan ng Cignal. Worth it ba talaga ang HD package? Im still planning kung i-upgrade ko ung package ko to HD. Syo ba nagpipixelize ang channels, lalo na ung BTV?

Yeah I agree mahirap sila tawagan, pero what I did was to email them and the next day sila mismo ang tumawag sakin... though maybe mabilis sila kumilos dahil magsusubscribe pa lang ako, pero sana naman hindi...

Parating na daw Tomorrow Wednesday ang magkakabit, Yay! Aabot ako sa Pacquiao Fight!

By the way, nung tumawag sila sakin iba ang Phone Number na gamit nila.. hmm bakit kaya at pwede ko kaya tawagan yung ginamit nila na number pangtawag sakin, mukhang mas convenient yata hehe..
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Grimlock on Nov 10, 2009 at 04:13 PM
Bro, kung first time mo magpakabit, yung tumawag syo is yung agent na assigned/official Cignal agent dyan sa lugar nyo. Pwedeng sya mismo ang tawagan mo instead si Cignal. Also make sure that you pay additional P 350 kung SD package ang kinuha mo. you have up to Nov 12 to pay the PPV to your agent. Free ang PPV and in HD, pag new HD-SD Combo ang binayaran mo. Enjoy!

if that is the case mas maigi siguro yun. though hindi ko nakuha ng personal yung number, I just took note of it through the caller ID...

Do you think sir Grimlock meron list ng agents per area? mas maigi siguro iyon para alam ng iba kung sino ang dapat kausapin...

by the way, I have read sa mga previous replies here na tumatawag ang agent kapag kelangan na magbayad, is that right? are they the same agent na naka assign sa area na pwede pagtanungan for inquiries?

Confirmed that the HD PPV ch 59 will be added without turning ON the HD stb. This should be the better procedure, automatic and no need to turn ON the stb, maybe this should also be the procedure for SD PPV activation in the future.
Noted that Ch 59, has the same quality of ESPN, clear enough, but not True HD clear. Maybe next fight of pacman, Cignal will make it true HD just like the last HD PPV Villoria-Iribe fight.

I think Cignal is reading this board. After posting and 11/2 hour later, Cignal called up.Coincidence or not, I now have my PPV. Let's get ready to rummble!
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: edrel sison on Nov 13, 2009 at 03:23 PM
I have paid 350 pesos (ppv) through metrobank yesterday, nov 12 and the cignal partner who installed my cable said to text them the payment details. i had a very bad feeling that it has not been activated yet so i made inquiries on how to know if it has been activated. after much sending of text messages without reply i had finally received a text message from them today:

"Sir, kayo po ay sa metrobank nagbayad kaya wala po akong control sa accnt nyo, naforward na po namin lahat ng details nyo sa head ofc , eto po number, 028956353, try nyo po magff up din sa kanila. Kung sa ofc po namin kayo nagbayad kami po ang magloload. Pag po metrobank, head ofc. At nagff up lang din po kami ng mga text ng mga subscriber"

Going to the Cignal main office would not help either because the numbers posted to contact them are all unreachable. 3 landlines are all darn busy and the 2 smart numbers are out of coverage area >:( >:(

My last resort now is to email them...
I hope I can still watch the fight on Sunday..

My message to Cignal or Mediascape:

WAG KABIT LANG NG KABIT! TAKE CARE OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS!! THIS IS NOT HOW A BUSINESS OF THIS SCALE SHOULD BE RUN!
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: stud on Nov 13, 2009 at 05:58 PM
we have the same situation. I already deposited the money to Metrobank yesterday. The whole day today i just sat at my office trying to call all of their nos. but to no avail. I emailed them too and left my contact nos. but no reply to my message.

Tried calling their cell nos. but it is out of coverage area.

Painstakingly, it took me from Nov.2 up to Nov. 12 evening to finish 2 concerns, 1 without signal and 1 PPV. so start counting,fellow PDVD. Its really is a waste, with a good product offering but a disastrous customer service. The downside of contracting out services.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: edrel sison on Nov 13, 2009 at 08:42 PM
these guys would not come to you to fix or even tweak your signals. (no money in there). it is not their priority. their primary mission is to install new subscriptions. mind you they are charging 1000 pesos per unit in the provincial area so imagine how much they can do in 1 month...

hay nako, i am not really glad with the way mediascape is running this cignal thing. no customer support for a very large base of subscribers.

if only there are other choices..

I am satisfied with the HD PPV of the Pacman fight. Malinaw nga parang ESPN ang quality. Best of all, Top Rank commentators at hindi sila Chino yey!, sayang hindi napakita ng top rank yung interview ni Larry Merchant ng HBO, bagal kasi umakyat sa ring ni Mario Lopez ng top rank eh. Kudos din sa Cignal, talagang iniiba-iba yung location nung card no. sa screen para malito din yung magtatakip na cable operator na balak mag rebroadcast. pinanood ko pa ulit nung 7PM, minus na yung mga irritating ad and cignal card no. na nag fa flash para ma detect yung rebroadcast.
Until next pacman fight! Congrats Cignal!

Bro, ang alam ko default password ng settings is 1234 or 0000. after mo mapasok yung settings ng STB, para ma fix yung malaking space pag SD broadcast, you need to set your STB box settings to "stretch" and not pillar box when broadcasting SD channels, also kailanagn select mo 16:9. Then set your TV display to "full".

Sir Grimlock, yup 0000, hindi ko lang binasa yung manual, pero ayun nakita ko na nga, tapos hindi pa din nagpalit ng resolution, so accidentally, nag rearrange ako ng saksakan, so I unplugged it, after nun, pag on ko ulit ng STB okay na naka full screen na lahat! woot!

Good to know na OKs na display settings mo, Enjoy!!

Update ko lang ulet, as of Nov 20, 2009, HD channels are:

1. HBO-HD- True HD broadcast
2. History HD- True HD broadcast
3. Playhouse Disney- Upconverted
4. Star Sports- Upconverted
5. Star Movies- Upconverted
6. ESPN- Upconverted
7. National Geographic HD- upconverted, wrong aspect ratio
8. Sony Entertainment TV- Upconverted

May Cinemax ka pag nag avail ka ng HD subs w/ the new HD channels.

according to Cignal, may additional channels to come for HD & SD, so wait na lang muna.

@ stud, bro call your agent, alam ko kasi pwede yung mag downgrade para HD nalang subs mo.

yung Channel 59 ang alam ko is available lang pag may PPV na ipapalabas, kasi yung akin nawala na din sa list of channels...

By the way, do you think Cignal Cable would somehow cater Internet Services in the near Future??

I called up customer service today to unsubscribe the sd channel and retain the hd channel only. Di daw puede downgrade daw? Is this true?

That is the irony with bundle subscription of any service, downgrading is not allowed unless your outside their lock-in period.

Still, haggle and raise your case baka ma-persuade mo sila. And talk to the Supervisor.

The reason why i am unsubscribing sd channel is that i am not impressed with their reception. Thank you for persuading me to talk to their supervisor.

logically, i think they will add internet services, questions are ano ang speeds and magkano :)

ATTN: CIGNAL, assuming you guys are reading this thread, please ADD these channels (kahit hindi in HD),

1. JackTV (for WWE)
2. DiscoveryHD (ito HD please please ganda nito sa sky eh.)
3. Asian Food Channel (Licence to Grill, is the best.) :)
4. Animal Planet

tingin ko pwede ang JackTV iadd sa lineup, I am using Smart myTV as of today, and it has jackTV on it
diba magkaparehas lang naman ng company si myTV and Cignal :)

kaya Cignal please do the right thing add nyo na ang JackTV, at ng makita ko na ulit si TripleH!

Post by: Grimlock on Nov 26, 2009 at 07:53 AM
That is correct bro, NatGeo is now in Full HD yeesss!!!. The broadcast of NatGeo HD is in blu-ray quality, hopefully it will stay that way. The station ID logo is the familiar yellow rectangle with HD on the bottom and it is also translucent. Station Ads are in spectacular HD shots of bursting ballons, liquid spray, owl in flight, etc. and in slow motion to showcase the HD. voice over is also proud to say the "HD" word. The EPG of NatGeo HD is also updated and the programming is not the same with NatGeo SD, but some familiar programs are found e.g. air crash investigators, etc.
Compared to History HD, almost same quality although I noticed that History HD has deeper color broadcast, objects really pops out the screen. NatGeo HD is kinda light but still impressive HD broadcast.
Again, congrats to Cignal for giving another True HD channel!, hope more to come!

^Hindi ba mas mahal yan? I suppose that includes the HD channels.
That'll be like 21.9K in a year.

Hindi ba ganito lang ang cost now?
1500 - Kit (Promo)
1290*12 - HD+SD Subscription for a year
1000 - Installation
Total of 17,980 pesos lang

Current kit promo ends by Nov 30. Tama ba.

sir yung 1.5k is just a DP for the kit, deferred payment lang ng 6.5k na kit kaya yung 1.7 that is 1.290 MSF and 400 for the balance of the kit na 5k.

How do you guys connect your SD CignalTV decoder? direct to TV? through the receiver? Are there any benefits having it connected through a receiver? (upconvert to 1080p?).

RCA lang pala ang connections sa likod ng decoder.

Bro, nung SD pa lang ang Cignal ko, direct to TV composite connection ko, OK na yung TV speakers, mas tipid pa kasi no need to turn on my receiver. Kahit HD na Cignal ko, direct to TV pero HDMI connection. only HD Cignal broadcasts up to 1080p, imho no need to upscale Cignal SD.

Good..exactly what I did. Malakas din kasi sa kuryente yung receivers..almost the same as the LCD..kaya makakatipid. Madalas pa naman nakababad sa Cartoon channels ang mga bata.

Another question..has anybody had to relocate their dish? plan ko kasi ipa relocate yung dish to a better area, to get better signal and quality. Do you know how much do they normally charge? sa technicians na lang ata yun eh.

Yes sir, noticeable, even the kids here sa bahay noticed it. ch. 9 and 13 lang ang hindi nag improve. ;)

pero i think it will/may differ dapende sa area and location ng Satelite dish mo, kasi they have a device that measures strength of your signal, sakin sabi ng installer one of the highest sa mga nagawa nya. check mo muna sir kung meron pagkakabitan sa bahay mo, nakatutok sya kung san lumulubog ang araw. ;) and they will NOT put it sa roof mo kasi even the slightest movement affects the quality of the signal.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Waxx on Dec 14, 2009 at 03:35 PM
pagkaintindi ko is you may be able to see the signal in the tv itself using the decoder options... from what i believe whatever the channels you prefer.. the stronger the signal the better the quality.. so for example you prefer hbo, then you should have the signal up around 99% to be able to get the best quality.. bear in mind that maximizing the signal on this channel will make other channel's signal weaker. but as long as your signal is over 90% it should be ok..

i learned this when the installers were retweaking the ppv channel of pacman cotto... since that sattelite is just being used to view ppv, they went for full signal on that channel.. other channel's signal went lower though....

Is this true? Is it possible to vary signal by channel even if they all come from the same receiver and dish?
If so, how do I tweak it?
There is an item in the options to read the signal strength and signal quality. While my signal strength is low,  like 50-60%, the signal quality is almost always at 100% level.

i have yet to check my signal now.. but the way gsat technician were doing it... one was yelling thru the fone "ayan ayan.. " then later.. "nawala.... balik mo!!"... so i guess the techician adjusting the sat receiver was either rotating the LNB or the dish itself..
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: anchit on Dec 16, 2009 at 08:06 PM
actually the technician can monitor the signal strenght and quality rating thru their portable Monitor, ginagalaw nya yung dish as he looks at the monitor habang gumagalaw yung signal rating. Pinapanuod ko sya while he installed mine eh. Got a 60+ quality rating, then 119 signal strength, yan na yung pinakamataas na nakuha nya, medyo may interference kasi na mga gutter at bubong.

If your TV is 40 inch or smaller you might not notice much about the PQ of upconverted channels. I have a 1080p PJ at 129". There is a big difference on how soft the unconverted channels are compared to the TRUE HD variety. I also miss the VOOM channel, excellent PQ same as History channel.

if you were in my shoes, ano kukunin nyo? given my conditions:

1.  weekend lang makakapanood ng tv
2.  have sky and destiny cable subscriptions already
3.  getting this for ppv purposes only (para di mahuli sa balita)
4.  sports lang usually ang pinapanood. sometimes wwe/mma
5.  bonus narin if may live sports event na non ppv (f1, tennis, nba)
6.  loves discovery channel (mostly pangpatulog)
7.

things to consider:

gsat - siguradong may ppv coz solar is co owner of gsat.

cignal - may mga hd channels

gsat is 9500/year - kasama na ang ppv ni pacman-clottey

cignal is 11880/year (hd package) or 15480/year (full package)

again, pang additional lang naman for ppv, since i believe most channels that they offer are already in destiny/skycable.

im leaning towards cignal now as i type this.. coz it offers hd channels + ppv. but are there headaches from cignal tv subscribers?

advice is greatly appreciated.

Received sms from Cignal last night, you can now get pacman-clottey PPV for P 450, up to Feb 15. On Feb 16 the price will be P 550. The fight will be broadcast on SD and enhanced HD (similar to Cignal's Star Sports-HD). Just call Cignal for reservation and details.

Cignal is available nationwide.

Damn, I saw your other post, tama ba? you already have sky and destiny and now you're trying to have Cignal, wow, isn't that a lot of money spent on Pay-TV considering you only watch TV during weekends (lakas ko magsabi nito samantalang ang mahal din ng binabayaran ko sa SkyCable at sobrang bihira din ako nakakapanood, hehehe)

BTW, Cignal subs, there were posts on another forum saying that Cignal might add 4 channels this coming March but there will be an additional P60 a month for the SD package.

The 4 channels are Cinemax (previously a bonus channel for SD+HD package), ESPN or Star Sports (only one will be chosen), an Entertainment channel and Discovery (ata daw). Another post also said that an adult channel (I think its Playboy channel but im not sure about that) will be added but most likely it will be on Premium/PPV.

ahhh sir kasi ganito yun.. skycable is a complimentary drop (x deal from a contract subscription of our work establishment)... destiny is also free, coz they never disconnected the lines when i had my destiny internet terminated.

so technically, cignal will be the first subcription line.

btw, sky/destiny is being watched/used by my parents who lives in the house. ;D

yeah ganun din sa akin., had my cignalhd installed feb 20 sat.  di rin ganun ka stable yung box.. i mean, my tv wouldnt display via hdmi pag direct, pero pag dumaan sa AV receiver, ok sya.. tinkered with setup na.. 720/1080i minsan ok, pag turn off/on ng box wala na uli..

Kung SD subscriber ka, dapat may channel 49 ka na at may palabas na mga ads at poster, kung HD/Combo sub ka naman dapat may palabas at poster na ang Ch. 59 mo. :). Maganda tawagan mo ang CS ng cignal, matagal nga lang maka connect .

if i remember it righy apart from returning the dish and box you need to pay an early termination fee depende kung gano ka katagal na subscriber. Holding period is 2 years and they prorate the fee based on that. Nasa contract form sya when we applied

nagpa install kami nung friday. we got combo (HD + SD) prepaid, incidentally meron palang 3+3 promo.   pay 3 months get 3 moths free.

Initial cash out is a bit steep at 11870 (includes the sat dish & box; installation fee; + 3 months @ 1290) pero ok na din since may 3 months free so that fee is a total of 6 months.

general review:

HBO, Nat Geo, and History is good for HD. I am not so satisfied with Starmovies HD though, it is not HD enough for me, although it is not bad.  The digitally enhanced HD channels (starsports, espn, etc) is good, F1 coverage was fantastic this way.

All the SD channels are of better quality than most cable we've had (we've tried sky and home before, and a friend has dream).

overall, sobrang sulit yung SD package; as for the HD package, 50-50 ako...hindi masyado sulit yung additional 990 for it (at least not yet) unless you absolutely love the 4 feature channel.  2 things are working againts the HD package at this point: 1) Audio is not surround encoded 2) quality and quantity (i wish there were more real HD channels)

but overall.. sulit! :)

off topic: minsan napapadaan ako sa net 25 news at may nakasulat na naka-broadcast sila in HD. nag-google din ako at yung concert ni Lea Salonga daw na-broadcast nila in HD? pero di ko makita kung saan mo mapapanood na channel...does anyone know? or was that for their audience abroad?

unless cignal rebroadcasts its signal then we can view it.  you need to have a digital tuner, specifically the japanese standard and tune to the channel.

May mga naka-Cignal po ba dito malapit sa Novaliches area?
Ayos po ba ito kumpara sa Sky Cable?
Plano po kasi namin mag-Cignal. Ang labo kasi ng Sky Cable dito sa amin.
At para na rin masulit ang HDTV.

TIA.

Since it is using Sat Disk, it all depends on the set-up (positioning of the disk).
By the way, sa mga naka Sat disk, okey ba signal kahit umuulan, especially Rainy Season na?

since it is using a bigger sized dish, the degradation due to rain is reduced.

anong cable gamit nila?

nakalatag na kasi yung old belden cables sa ilalim ng semento e...

ano difference nung 990 a month compared to 1290 a month?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pmds on Jun 27, 2010 at 08:24 AM
P990 = HD Channels Only
P1290 = HD+SD Channels

Correct niyo na lang po kung mali.

Any feedbacks po sa mga subscriber ng Cignal sa quality?

We have Dream Satellite.  Samin ok naman maski umuulan.  Sometimes mas malinaw pa yung signal pag-umuulan.  Weird! (http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/7.gif)

Post by: pchin on Jul 13, 2010 at 04:21 PM
got one yesterday. called nung sat, installed yesterday (sun)
so far so good got the SD package

2,500 cash out
1000 installation fee
390 monthly

That's quite an affordable package. From Cignal web it says this package includes 21 channels. Can we add extra channels on top of this package? Some of the channels found in Skycable are not here so I presume those are exclusive to Skycable only.


subscribed to the mosley-mayweather fight.  ;)

Great to hear Cignal offers PPV. How much is the fee for PPV e.g. boxing match? Do we need a separate digibox for PPV? Does Cignal also offer PPV in HD? :)
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: stud on Jul 13, 2010 at 06:00 PM
no need for separate digibox. Just call their customer service advicing them of your intention of watching ppv and they will bill you for that. I think they have ppv for hd and ppv for sd channels.

Nice, good to hear this! This mean there is no other installation fee unlike Skycable which require a separate HD-box for PPV in HD. :D

So Florante, you're a boxing addict pala. :D 350-550 is relatively cheap as compare to Skycable which charge around 1,500 for PPV! :o Not sure if I heard wrongly, maybe the 1500 fee is for PPV in HD.

Flo, is Cignal charging P550 for the HD PPV? Or do you mean at 350-550 & you have the choice of selecting the PPV in SD or HD? Tnx

Cignal charge for SD and HD PPV same lang. 350 before ( SD and HD) during Pacquiao and Hatton . Highest so far na charge nila ay around 550 lang ( same price SD and HD). Subscribing for PPV makes my old man and neighbors happy  ;D

mga chief tanong lang, magkano babayaran ko kung upgrade ko sa SD+HD Bundle iyong current subcription ko na SD pa lang. Panibagong bayad ba ulit iyong pagpapalit ng set top box at installation and for how much?

dito kase sa tarlac nung dating magpakabit ako ng SD bundle ibang presyo sinisingil sa akin buti na lang alam ko promo nila nun kya wala silang nagawa nung sabihin ko na dapat ganito lang bayaran ko.

I just noticed this one today, Cignal has converted the ESPN from upscaled to HD Format!!! WOW! Its just plain WOW!

Here are my HDTV Captures!! Please bear with me and the photos, talagang good for your eyes only yung HD Broadcast, hirap kunan ng photo without those "wave-like" thingy...

And then they also added two Channels but its currently blocked... Though I wont be watching much of that channel its best at least na naka activate yun sa account specially sa mga Cignal HD Bundle subs like most of us... The two channels by the way is Al Jazeera and NHK World.

I guess this is a call for Discovery HD Eh? Sulit na sulit ang Cignal!!! I can forgive those times na nawawalan ng signal pag may ulan, as its expected, bawing bawi naman sa HD Channels!! woohoo!!

One thing to watch out for, their warranty does not cover "acts of god" incidences. i had to pay 800 to have my cignal back on after the last typhoon.  :(

....

They showed the hungarian f1 yesterday, simultaneous with the usual starworld brodcast.  The PQ is indeed better than the upscaled broadcast (of starworld).  After the hungarian F1, next naman yung british open.  It is being broadcast simultaneously at espn 1080i (the old upconverted channel).  Tama ka jupacabra... WOW! Dati satisfied na ko dun sa upconverted broadcast ng ESPN but comparing the read HD broadcast of ESPN HD parang pumangit yung upconverted version.  Details of the grass, trees, lakes, sand are just better and life like. :)

My subscription is prepaid, testing lang if service will improve.  If they keep this up, I will commit long term with a post paid subscription :)

That's too bad.  Ako, pag may problem tinatawagan ko diretso yung nag service samin dati.  They are just within the neighborhood so madali magrespond. 

Depende siguro sa kausap.  Hindi ko nabasa yung warranty pero kung naka specify pala na hindi covered yung "acts of GOD" e they have grounds to charge, technically...although syempre para sa ating subscriber it sounds wrong.  Maganda siguro tawagan nyo na lang diretso yung nag service, baka pwede "minimal" cost na lang yun.

i agree with this.. but digital re alignment is a pain, a slight movement/misalignment drops the signal, not to mention the hassle of climbing up the roof and the rain.

That "rain" thing is not so bad.  Signal goes out when the rain is really really hard, as in heavy downpour. Ordinary heavy rain can't knock the signal out (my experience).  Also, it only goes away briefly, 1-5 minutes if and when it goes out.  Typhoon tested na din yun installation sa amin, it survived a good hammering of the last typhoon :) We have it installed in between our wall and the neighbors firewall.

AFAIK, cignal is nationwide.  I've a feeling nueva ejica is covered, Bulacan and Laguna is.

Iniwan ko sa bahay kanina yung unit while it waits to be activated. Malalaman ko mamaya paguwi ko kung maganda ba talaga ang quality. Though yung quality ng TV5 ay mas maganda compared sa TV5 ng SkyCable.

Hi we live in Cavite and had Cignal standard definition (SD) for more than a year now.  Definitely the picture quality of Cignal SD is far better than the SD of other cable networks (Sky, etc.).  Cignal is the satellite tv network of the PLDT/Metro Pacific group (much bigger company than the owners of other cable companies), so expect many big things to happen that will improve their service.  

Cignal TV is highly recommended!!! Try na kayo!!!

tanong lang sa mga Cignal subscribers, anu input niya sa tv, is it component,composite or hdmi?

HDMI yan sir, kung HDTV ang tv mo.

^That's right

I just had the unit installed sa bahay. Badtrip lang kasi I called them for an availment of subscription last August 3, ang scheduled install ay August 7, 2010 pero walang dumating. It cost me pa 150++ bucks para lang mag follow up sa hotline # nila.

Iniwan ko sa bahay kanina yung unit while it waits to be activated. Malalaman ko mamaya paguwi ko kung maganda ba talaga ang quality. Though yung quality ng TV5 ay mas maganda compared sa TV5 ng SkyCable.

Hahaha siempre bro mas maganda TV5 sa Cignal! Sister company sila. both under metro pacific/MVP group!

In the past, Cignal did have PPV on Pacquiao fight, right? Maybe it's still too early? In the past, how long before the fight would we know if there's a PPV?

wow, were there broadcasts na?  kasi sa akin matagal ng may al jazeera.. pero walang laman..

also, cignal HD subs, question, yung espn nyo and star sports na SD channel, naka enable ba or naka block?  coz yung akin naka block yung mga sports channels na SD ko since meron sila sa HD, but not my hbo tho...
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: jetro on Oct 08, 2010 at 11:08 AM
about 5 of those 10 or so added channels are good to go, the rest are still blocked.  fox channel good na, pwede na manood ng house MD :)  discovery turbo good to go na din.  blocked pa yung discovery, wala pang mythbusters :(.

we are subscribed via prepaid account and is thinking if its worth it to convert to a postpaid account given the 24 months lock-in period para kasing 6-8 HD channels and no discovery no fox channel doesnt cut it for me.. pero ngayon tingin ko sulit na. 

tumawag ako sa hotline kanina, tinanong ko kung bakit yung ibang channel e blocked (nhk, al jazeera, etc) ang sagot sakin kasi daw prepaid.. enabled daw LAHAT pag postpaid,

@Waxx.. espn and star sports SD channels blocked din sakin, sabi ng installer sakin e ganon daw talaga.

i think alibi lang ng nakausap ko sa help desk.  i suggest you call them sir.  tatawag din ako, na realize ko na kung totoo man yun reason na binigay nya (about the channel being blocked because im not a postpaid subscriber) e full of bull.. pareho lang bayad ko bakit may restriction?

sa ibang subscriber, before i l left for work kanina e blocked pa yung ibang channels (discovery, fox family movie) ang sagot sakin sa help desk e kasi daw kaka "program" lang nila. baka daw mamaya pag uwi ko e ok na yun... so, how is it now? working na ba lahat ng "new" channels?

Wow!!! Another great news. All HD channels are broadcasting in Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. Superb!

thanks for this news, I use to try this from time to time until I gave up. Well it's verified! ...and this is the last requirement for us to commit to their 24 months lock-in period (we are prepaid subscriber).  good job cignal!

now the not so good news (for me at least).  We availed ourselves of the 3+3 promo (pay 3 months get 3 months free).  Apparently, newly added channels are only available to postpaid subscribers and we, prepaid subscribers, can just suck it with the old line up.  That's easy, so why not just convert to postpaid, right?  Well... its not a straightforward solution.... we still have 3 months left with the prepaid package we paid for. converting to postpaid now will forfeit the 3 remaining months.  In other words we are left with a difficult choice.... 3 months free subscription VS new channels.

I did got to see the new channels right before they lock it.... post paid subscribers enjoy the new channels, their great!  I guess we are stuck with the old line up for 3 months.  (I wonder, is there anyone here with the same dilemma)

To cignal... brilliant business minds you have.   Sa tagalog.. ang gulang nyo!  (sorry for this rant, I cant help it)

Yup! true HD na ang Discovery HD World. Please take note also that Discovery HD world is like NatGeo Travel & Adv., Discovery HD is the HD equivalent of Discovery Channel. Cignal has the Discovery HD World, so malamang naka exclusive si Sky Cable sa Discovery HD. Nevertheless, magaling pa din ng Cignal to give 9 true HD channels (counting NBA premium). Music Channel na lang ang kulang, sana channel [V]-HD tutal may license na sya sa Star Network.  Great Work Cignal!

Has anyone tried using a splitter on the signal without subscribing a second digi box? My guess is since its signal is in digital, we'll need the Cignal digi box to decode it.

How about using a Skycable digi box? But I think every company has its own box to decode its own digital signal. Is there a third party digi box (open line) available in the market?

i think this wont work, coz cignal uses a card which needs to be activated in their database... (sorta like a sim card which would have its own serial number that should be activated in their system to allow broadcast)

the box is pretty generic i believe. but the card is the security..

ive tried using 2 tv's with a single box, yun nga lang, whatever channel i pick in the box, thats the one shown on both tvs.

so if i have ppv on, i could technically split it to 2 or more (if i use hdmi splitter) display devices which would enable them to watch ppv on different rooms,

o nga pala....I totally forgotten there's a Smart card inserted in each box... So, it's out of the question na to have different channel in each room. ;D

Yes, the only way will be using a HDMI splitter. Actually, this is good enough for the time being in view of PPV (Pacquio fight hehe).  Luckily I already have a HDMI splitter....now got to find a "very long" HDMI cable... :D

nung nagpa install ako, the account was activated 30 mins after installation, prepaid nga lang yun, ewan ko sa postpaid.  When I have it converted from postpaid to prepaid, it was activated the day after ko ma submit requirements (via email).

tip lang.  base sa experience ko mas ok makipag usap sa local cignal partner (in my case, laguna) kesa sa hotline.  when i was calling cignal hotline, it took 2 days wala pa nangyayari sa application ko (convertion of postpaid to prepaid).  out of frustration, i called the local cignal partner in my area, ayun a couple of hours and email exchanges later, na process agad.

Cignal should really look into improving their customer service.  Pero guys, wag kayo madala.  right now, cignal ang pinaka sulit when you want HD content, even their premium channels (in SD) is better in PQ compared to sky.  Tyaga lang sa customer service muna.

may gumagamit na ba dito ng 2 Cignal Box? any ideas kung magkano ang payment kapag 2 ang cignal box?? sa Sky Digibox kapag mag add ka ng Digibox sa subscription mo for another tv at home eh +300 lang for the box pero same billing pa rin...

Natanong ko lang, kasi last time I asked eh 1:1 ang ratio. so kapag may second tv ka, doble subscription babayaran mo....

Also may Pacquiao Margarito na? Di ko pa natanong hehe.. wala pa kasi display sa PPV HD Channel ko... unlike dati may display na kapag meron na sila PPV

Dahil sa pagbabasa ko dito I decided na magpakabit din ng cignalTV plan 990 last tuesday. They said na by thursday maikakabit na. So tumawag ng thursday at hindi raw maikakabit friday na lang daw afternoon. I waited again the whole afternoon after canceling lahat ng lakad ko, hindi sila dumating. I was informed 7pm na hindi na sila darating. When they learned that im mad they said na kami na uunahin first thing in the morning today. Ayun kakatawag lang hindi na naman daw pwede ngayung umaga mamayang hapon na namn daw. What time they don't know. Talking about SERVICE.  Ang worry ko installation pa lang palpak na paano pa kaya pag nagloko service nila as in me problema signal? All I can say to myself is good luck to me..........

Went to the local dealer here in Sta. Maria Bulacan...I asked if it possbile to upgrade my 390 prepaid subscription to the 590 prepaid....not possible daw..iba pala ang decoder. I should have known better. Wala pala hdmi connection sa likod yung SD Decoder. Anyway they told me it will cost me a new installation to get the HD broadcast..

I just renewed for another 2 months.

3000 for the new box + tp fee (300) + 1 month advance...

Thats what happen to me, hirap maka tawag sa kanila, i was able to cintact and applied after so many tries, then they told me to wait for their call, so the next nag follow up call ako, they told me to email my requirement, i told them that is all ready but wala ako scanner to scan my proof of billing and ID, i told them ill give it personally to the installer. so i waited again for their call, wala pa rin  tumawag sa akin, so i check their partner and called them, after talking to them they saiid bukas na daw ma install cause afternoon na ako tumawag, the next its installed and activated in 2 days.

outputting audio via optical to an AV receiver, hindi ma control ng remote control ng cable box (humax) yung volume, full volume sya, so the only way to adjust volume is through the AV receiver.  Pag HDMI ok lang naman.

Bro, mukhang makapal ang rain clouds dahil sa bagyo, ordinary clouds kaya pa makasagap pero pag makakapal at puno ng precipitation, nakaka apekto din sa signal. Kasi pansin ko din kahit malakas ang ulan di naman nawawala signal ni cignal.
btw, wala pang broadcast ang NBA Premium HD, kailan kaya ito?

At last na installed na din kanina ng cignal ung sa amin waiting na lang sa activation. hoping it wont take days i heard others only took several hours.

I wish kapag activated na eh sulit talaga ung pag shift ko from skycable kung saan ako ay 12+ years loyal subcriber.   

Bad trip lang talaga ako sa customer service nila dahil 3 beses na re-schedule ung pag install sa akin without advise from them. kung hindi pa ako tumawag hindi nila malalaman na walang dumating para mag install. Napaka hirap pang tumawas sa kanila!

Thanks for answering bro, hindi pala ko nag iisa.  So normal na sakit ng cable box to.... due for firmware upgrade maybe?

to others complaining about customer service, I feel for you bros.  I've had my share of frustrations dealing with Cignal's customer service that I almost gave up my application.  Tiis lang muna, I assure you it's worth it.  If its HD content that you are after, Cignal, right now, is the best choice.  Let me reiterate that dealing with the local service provider is a workaround to customer service woes with cignal, cignal hotline is just a pain at the moment.

Regarding the Cable box, any body using this going to an AVR receiver?

I noticed when using HDMI to AV receiver for both audio and video, I can only get 2ch PCM no matter what setting for audio output is set to on the Humax.

But when I use HDMI for video and OPTICAL for audio going to the receiver, I get dolby from HD channels.

Anyone having the same experience?

the hd cignal box with old firmware has a buggy signal interpretation but when it upgraded its firmware, it can accurately interpret.  for those having new installation, pls. require or request that the installer have some kind of a signal measuring device aside from the one indicated on the box as this can greatly help them local the signal strength and quality accurately.  i had to learn this the hard way, but after i have it reoriented i have no problem whatsoever, only during very strong rain.

@pchin - Ok naman ang reception?

Called their customer care hotline yesterday (mabilis ang pag sagot siguro kasi wala tumatawag dahil eleksyon) and since Plan 1290 they were asking for Proof of Income. Emailed the documents yesterday na din. Hopefully I will hear from them this week and schedule an installation date next week.

Clarify ko lang, the new rates sa site nila is 1,290 cash out for the Plan 1290 lease option. Dati kasi nung unang visit ko sa site nila eh almost 10K ang initial cash out lalu if you are buying the box. Now its 1290, and 230 (I think) for additional boxes for the lease option.

Post by: pchin on Oct 26, 2010 at 09:25 AM
@pchin - Ok naman ang reception?

Yes, in my area (beside Fort Bonifacio) reception is clear. My initial cash outlay is around that too.

Actually, I'm always got confused with their package & payment options....  ;D

I just received my first bill statement. Cignal charges 2 mths in advance but I only need to pay one month only as during the initial cash outlay, 1 mth of subscription is included na. :)

@ other existing subscribers:
From the statement it shows my payment options: thru BPI online, Metrobank & LBC branches. Is there any other option apart from this 3?

Im not so lucky with Cignal, applied oct 11 2010, installed oct 13 and activated oct 15 ng gabi, but i have to call them everyday which is very hard, average waiting time before u can talk to cs is about 20 to 30 mins :)

This is very true. For the past few days I tried calling them to activate my Pacquio PPV & each time I'd hang up if no response after 10 min.

No problems whatsoever (except pag may heavy rain na parating)

And oh, Activated na pala ang NBA Premium HD sa account ko. hehehe I was watching Celtics vs Heat kanina game opener, kitang kita maski pawis nila.. hehe. TRUE HD na talaga ang broadcast ng Cignal for their NBA Premium HD.. hehe.

Share ko lang yung photos na kinuha ko kanina.

+1 on NBA Premium HD, absolutely fantastic.   

Mas lalong naging sulit ang 1290 package because of this.  Just the 9 HD channels alone makes it all worth it.  Bonus na lang yung ibang channels.  Sa mga naghe hesitate pa, true customer service sucks but dont let that stop you.  We've had skycable/home cable for the longest time and simply, watching cable tv has never been more enjoyable with cignal than any cable provider we've tried.  Ang wish ko na lang mag improve yung interface ng cable box to better search/schedule capability like that of comcast.

simply, cignal is the best provider with the best compromise of content vs PQ. That is, at the moment, I know skycable will not go down fighting :)

anyone got problem with their HD chanels? kasi ang HD chanels ko every few seconds mawala signal for 1 second. pero no problem sa Sd chanels. anyone have the same problem?

Sir lopio parehas tayo ng na eexperience. Hindi naman madalas pero minsan Nawawala wala ung signal sa hd channels. Kala ko before sa tv ko ung prob pero hindi pala. Siguro sa STB yung problem kasi yung second box namin hindi na eexperience yung ganito.

Question sa picture above. 2 ba talaga ang installed na dish? Or magkaiba ang broadcast ng 2 dish na yan.
Sa ibang mga nakita ko kasi parang ganyan din. Meron silang Cignal and meron silang GSat.

sir i believe isang dish lang install nila. its just a comparison of the dish size between two provider.  :)

sir munskie, there is no additional fee if you pay for the second/3rd box outright.. but if you choose the lease plan, you dont need to pay for the box outright but would need to pay 230/month/box. im just not sure if until 2 years ang 230/mo or forever rin, basta alam ko if you pay for the box, wala ng dagdag sa monthly

bad service talaga cignal. puro sakit ng ulo. ilang araw din akong walang tulog kaka-hintay sa pag-install. mag-set ng appointment tapos hindi sisipot. tapos dadating sa maling oras kung kelan wala kami sa bahay. tapos pumunta dito sa bahay bitin yung cable, willing naman kami magbayad ng extra kaso wala daw silang dalang extra! anong klase yun?! ako pa ang nag-extend ng cable para hindi nakaharang sa gitna ng kwarto ko yung cable. kung hindi lang kami desperate na magka-PPV di ko na itutuloy subscription ko dito e...

ngayon na-install na, activation nalang. sabi dapat kahapon i-activate hanggang ngayon wala pa... beware new customers, be ready sa sakit ng ulo bago magpa-install.

Mahirap tlga mag pa activate sa cignal. Na experience namin halos 3 days kami nag antay complete na kami sa requirements. Mismong mga agent naman sa hotline kayang mag activate within an hour. Hindi lang namin alam bakit pa kailangan pa pag antayin ng matagal mga clients. Kc sa na experience namin napikon na sister ko at sya na ung tumawag and sabi nya sa agent kung pde bang makausap ung team leader nila. Aun natakot ata naactivate nung agent ung amin within an 20mins habang kausap sa phone. Kaya nman pala nila iactivate ng mabilis pinapatagal pa nila..

After several follow-ups & promises that it will be activated within a day...suddenly they called me requesting me submitting an authorization letter that I'm allowing my wife to receive & sign on my behalf! WTF?? For goat sake, after the unit was installed for two days now only they ask for a letter? If no letter they will not activate it daw. They should have advised me in the first place...geez tomorrow is already Friday... :-[

After I finished the authorization letter & faxed it to them I called up to verified if they received it but kept denying receiving any fax...after several attempts then only they realize their fax machine was out of paper...WTF??!  >:( Asked me to fax again after 5 minutes. When I tried again...there is no more answer na...I kept trying for the next 15 min, no one pick up the phone & I just gave up..will try again tomorrow.

Ready na ako sa Big Day!! Woohoo!!

Gusto ko makita kung gaano kalinaw yung HD Broadcast ng PPV ngayon, nung mga NAKARAAN na Pacquiao Fights kasi eh digitally enhanced lang ang broadcast so medyo pixelated..

ive been with signal for almost 2 years na.  SD pa lang ako nun.  Then, nag upgrade ako this october for HD.  Thats when all my problems occur.  Since October 30 til now... di na ako nagkaroon ng magandang viewing experience.  Signal level always.. and i mean always drop.  Mga 5 min, 86%, tapos bigla bigla magiging 0%.  And its happening almost everyday.  Lagi kami nagtatalo wife ko.. kse nagpaHD-HD pa raw ako... nadisgrasya lalo.  Even the local channels, wala na ko mapanood.  Pabagsak-bagsak signal. Few minutes ago.. naawa ako sa baby ko.  She loves Disney Playhouse pero di sya makapanood kse nga sa signal.  She was crying so hard hanggang nakatulugan na lang nya.  F*c#!  I ve tried reporting it.. puro wait lang ng gagawa.   Wala naman napunta.  Minsan may pumunta.. nagbayad na kmi fee, di pa rin nagawa.  I called knina.. bukas daw pupuntahan pero may bayad na naman daw.  Nakaka-bad trip na!  Worry ko pa is sa Pacquiao daw.. my pals are comin over kse HD na.  Kakahiya pag nagkaganun pa rin!

Not anymore, what i did was readjust the satellite disc, and look for the best signal strength then tighten the screws para di na gumalaw yung disc, dahil kasi sa bagyo kaya na misalign ang disc ko. i never experience na for loss of signal for more than 2 weeks, unless theres heavy rain.

@pchin - Saturday na install yung dish, pero kahapon lang na-activate yung account ko. So for the past 5-6 days puro Willing Willie ang prime time ko. Hahaha. Pero when it was activated sulit naman. YUng NBA Premuim HD panalo!!! I was toggling between the SD broadcast of the Boston-Miami game and the HD and night and day and difference.

Now the challenge is ordering the Pacquiao-Margarito fight. Friday na and this Sunday na yun. Sana naman hindi ganun katagal and activation ng PPV. Kung hindi, sayang ang 550 pesos ko.

@owaj - Get the highest package na (Php1290) para lahat na ng channels with 9 HD (tama ba?). If 2nd and 3rd box installed independent siya sa 1st. Ang alam ko nangyayari lang yung pare-parehas channel is apg gamitan mo ng splitter (na ginagamit sa regular cable)  yung 1st box.

Oh I didn't see the date posted...o nga...whoa you waited 5-6 days for activation...so in my case it was consider lucky na that I waited less than 72 hours (3 days).  :o Hehe yeah while waiting the only free channel is 5  ;D

My second box just activated last night & now I'm following up my Pacquio PPV. Cignal advises it shud activate within the day...alright..in time for the fight!  :D

question lang sa mga nakapag avail before ng hd ppv, hd ba talaga ang broadcast nila? kasi sa mga pinapalabas nila ngayon sa ch 70 na previous fights ni pacman puro sd lang. tia.

After about 40 calls, where I was on hold for a long time and then getting the message that the phone was not attended. I finally got it today!I tried going into setup on the reciever today and typed in the pin 0000

I did follow it up with the installer. But they said, its out of their hands and that cignal manila will call once they are to activate my units. I tried calling the number on their website but for a week, i could only get to the prompt all customer service reps are attending to other calls at the moment BS. I stayed on for 8-10 min at a time. It was only yesterday that I finally got thru - with one ring! shucks. Their trunk line may have been busted all this time 'xcept y'day.

So, even after getting thru with my call, as of this writing, NADA!

Good thing I did not discontinue my sky cable sub just yet, and went PPV via sky for the Pacquiao-Margarito fight (way to go Manny!)...

Cignal customer service is indeed bad. Probably due to the recent surge in demand they can no longer cope with it.  :-[ Btw, for me it seems the best time to call them is early morning around 7am to 8am or after 11pm. Hope you'll get the activation soon. Good luck bro.

mga sirs, ask ko lang kung ano ang requirements sa pag setup ng cignal stb to lcd monitor.

kakakabit lang kasi ng cignal ko kanina, ang meron ako ay lcd monitor na may DVI in. Bumili ako ng hdmi-to-dvi adapter. Then kinabit ko yung cignal stb using the hdmi cable. Pero ayun, blanko ang screen ko.

Pwede po ba talaga yung cignal stb sa led monitor lang (hindi tv)? Isip ko naman baka sira lang yung cable o adapter.

Sana may makatulong...


thanks.

2. Check if the monitor supports the output resolution and refresh rate set on the box

if you purchase the box, then you are going to also just pay 1290/mo.

1290 is the plan, you don't have to prepay for 24 months, lock in period lang (like what globe and smart applies to their new post paid subscribers  ;)..

cash out is only for the installation of 1k and advance 1 month of 1290.. so thats 2290 plus pang meryenda,  ;)

I don't think there is a very noticable difference between Cignal and (let's say) Destiny. Lalu na on local channels since they are broadcasting in analog. It' not like HD and SD. IMHO yung switch to Cignal mainly for the HD braodcast or becasue you don't have any wired cable in your area.

I even had to send it several times kasi di daw nila nakuha. TAPOS, the same requirements were required by the installer. Eh ano pa yung binigay ko sa dealer!

Chard.ryan : You will have to lease the box from cignal if you want to have a 2nd or 3rd TV. Its 230 a month/box. You will have to buy the splitter from them also for 500.

Eto na ang dreaded After-sales service ng cignal.

Been calling their hotline the past few days and I am immediately answered by a rep. Kaya lang when I followed up for the activation of the 2nd box, sabi nila, talagang di daw sabay? "EH BAKET?"

Here's the clincher, after giving the STB and card number, sabi endorse nila sa support team. Sabi ko, ano case number.... "Wala daw". In other words, di din nila endorse yun!

1st box - full monthly rate (ie 1290)
2nd box - 230
3rd box - 230

for 3 boxes, 1290+230+230

they will provide the 2 addl box but you need to sign a 2 year contract ata.

After ko masigawan at sabihing hindi ako naniniwala at gumawa sila ng paraan after 1 hour tumawag ang kanilang dispatch at sinabing taga main office daw siya at siya na mag handle ng aking problem. After 1 hour tumawag ulit at tatawag na raw sa akin ang service provider, which is 2 weeks ko nang hinihintay tumawag. well after about 30 minutes tumawag ang mega cellular apparently ang contractor at sinabing papalitan na raw today. Ang sabi ko akala ko ba wala kayong unit, mega deny sila at sabi "hindi raw sila nawawalan ng HDbox". hmmm dadating daw sila 5pm daw today. .................. asa pa ako hayyyyyyyy.....

WOW! The Line Amplifiers works wonders. From virtually zero Signal Quality to 100 bars. My HD channel now doesn't have hiccups or pixelize.
Thanks to everybody who answered my questions.

Yes. Food Network and NBA Premium are both HD channels. In fact, Channels 60-68 are all True HD. HBO HD, Star Movies HD, Nat Geo HD,  History HD, Discovery HD World, ESPN HD (different programming from ESPN Philippines) and Star World HD are the other HD channels.

Nope, it wont improve the picture. It would just stablized my HD channels from annoying blackout or pixelization. As for SD channels, I dont have problem with them even without the line amplifier.

clarification lang, FREE ba ang Cignal KIT s plan 990 and 1290? if yes, installation fee lang ang bbyran if CASH?

ano ang advantage/disadvntage if LEASE? under warranty ba ng hardware either s CASH or LEASE? TIA
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: crazyhog on Jan 17, 2011 at 04:58 AM
1st box - full monthly rate (ie 1290)
2nd box - 230
3rd box - 230

for 3 boxes, 1290+230+230

they will provide the 2 addl box but you need to sign a 2 year contract ata.

u pay 230 each box IF YOU APPLY FOR LEASE, am i ryt? FREE if you pay outright?

pag lease ka, 230/mo for the next 24 months.  pag owned unit ka then you need to buy the extra units and it is free na as long as you pay the monthly.

hmmm... isn't that quite wrong?  you'd get irrelevant news and programming during those slots when the provincial signals take over the network's airtime. 

at some point, if i were abs or gma (yung may regional news, shows, and talents) i best support the local non-digital cable services since at least makukuha yung local programming.  kawawa kasi yung regional hubs. 

sa bagay, it should work for tv5 since isa lang naman location nila (with all due respect).

so,you think DEVANT and GANZKLAR owners lang ang magiging target market ng Cignal? all other brand and models ng TV e di pwede at all or will not be able to output digital quality videos? false advertising ang ginagawa ng big names like Sony,Samsung etc na "HDTV" ang binebenta nila? it doesn't make any sense does it?

cavite/laguna area is being handled by VGA.  I am from Laguna and I have only good things to say to VGA's service.  Talking to them yielded faster results than talking to the cignal hotline.  I had some minor problems with (1) conversion from prepaid to postpaid (2) some billing issues.  Called up cignal hotline for those issues to be resolved but it took days with no clear result.  Called up VGA, they forwarded their concern with cignal (I was CCed) and all is well the next day.   

It seems cignal responds faster when they are contacted by their partner... is what I think.  So now when I want something done quickly, I called VGA, they are very accommodating.

i am trying to install my 2nd and 3rd box using my exisiting cctv and tv antenna cabling, i already have the power splitter installed and my original box is getting good signal and quality.

my problem is that there is no signal registering on the box (both 2 and 3) but if i plug the aerial tv input there is a signal thus the line is not broken.

1. would it matter if the antenna cable is not rg6? to minimize signal loss?
2. what is the maximum distance from the power splitter to the next box?
3. can we series 2-3 power splitter to gain more strength and quality?

i do not want to lay another cable thus would want to exhaust this route first.

thanks.

Just a heads-up to those planning to subscribe to cignal HD and is going to construct or buy a house.

If your house is/will be cable ready (built in cable outlet in every room).  Please make sure that the splitter is accessible and replaceable. Apparently, Cignal requires a spliiter with a higher frequency.

We found out today that we cannot make use of the built in cable outlet. We have to make the cable passed through the opening of the sliding window in our room.

After having my Cignal dish installed in my "Cavern," I finally found a reason to use my 3-year old Pioneer PDP -428XG Kuro regularly.  It was sparringly used ever since I bought an Infocus X10, which I prefer for DVD/Bluray viewing.  Here are my take on Cignal HD;

Pros
-very clear HD signal.  1080i output works best for my Infocus x10(1080p native resolution) and my Pioneer Kuro(768p).
-almost all important channels to me are included except ANC.

Cons
- only 2 channel stereo is available via HDMI cable.  I read in this thread that Dolby Digital signal can be had thru the optical output.  I still have to try this.
- stereo signal in HBO-HD, FOOD-HD and NBA-HD is not correctly balanced, it is more prevalent in the right channel.  SD audio are OK though.

Net, I am so glad that not only have  I now found a reason to use my Pioneer Kuro, it also shines in HD.

Kuro still rules

re: the sound not being balanced on stereo, this is true even for 5.1 sound.  in most movies (and sports events) where surround is available, sometimes dialog is coming from the left channel.  there is rarely any movies where the surround decoding is spot-on, most of the times it's... well..off.

I'm using optical cable to output surround btw.

Emailed Cignal re unbalance sound.  Did not recieve any reply.  What could be a good reason for their lack of action on this problem?  I'm pretty sure their engineers are aware of this by now. >:( >:( >:(

To those who have gears to decode digital sound, this is indeed a big let down and a potential deal breaker when contract expires and is up for consideration for possible extension. :-\

Same here. I'm using HDMI & e.g. HBO HD channel is bad. The I tried Optical cable, it sounds better but very LOUD & causing some hiccups to my AVR so I switched it back to HDMI cable. :( Other channels aren't that bad.

the weird thing is 0 ang signal strength, maski na meron pa akong sd channels. i guess sira yung box kasi imposible 0 ang signal pero meron napapanood. cignal has called me several times to check kung meron na pumuntang tech, they told me na ilan bese na nila na follow-up sa designated tech ng area namin. kung sino man yun sana palitan na nila.  :P

Hi! I'm having a problem with my Cignal Plan 990. My tv is LG 32lh70 1080p. When I press the MENU button on the remote, the picture on the small preview screen on the upper left side is very clear. It is really digital quality. However, when I return to the full screen mode, the picture becomes cloudy, blurry, and certainly not digital quality. I switched to my local cable and atenna. The pictures from those 2 non-digital sources are way better than that of Cignal. Anyone has the same problem? Please help me. Thanks!  :)

My MVD is okay but still no improvement in quality. I tried changing settings of both my LCD and STB but nothing happened. I'm thinking that there may be something wrong with the STB because my signal is okay and the picture on the small preview screen is very good.

Oh ya you're absolutely right...I recall the previous Pacquio vs Magarito PPV, gosh I had a very hard time getting tru them & it was very stressful (worrying too much that I may not get it in time). I started asking for the PPV almost 14 days before the fight & finally got it confirmed 2 days before the fight! What a relief!  ;D

This time I did it na so I don't have to worry & go thru the same nightmare..ah now I can sleep properly...  :P

i had a bad experience before sa call center nila kaya lagi ako naniniguro. before paying i called them, then 5 days after payment i called them again to ask their confirmation na counted na yong payment ko.


i also paid last night for ppv thru bpi online, buti na maaga this time  ;). last time kasi nagbayad ako 4 days before the fight tapos online payment pa. pero bago ako nagbayad tawag muna at nagtanong sa kanila kung aabot pa ako. sabi saktong sakto lang daw kahit online payment. kaya friday evening before the fight, supervisor na kausap ko para maactivate yong ppv. nakahabol naman, sobrang hassle nga lang kasi email pa ko ng payment confirmation at ang hirap tumawag sa kanila that time.

Wala pang nakadisplay maski Poster, tapos nung pinaactivate ko magkausap pa kami ng Support na naactivate na niya then biglan nagkaroon ng Poster ng Pacquiao Mosley..

Then By this time ang nakadisplay na is PPV Activated na (hindi na yung order PPV before May 8 )! Woohoo! Excited na for the Pacquiao Mosley Fight! YEY!

My 4th Pacquiao PPV From Cignal hehe..

Onga pala, may nakapanood ng Free PPV noong April 10 between Morales vs Maidana? Nagkataon lang nung Saturday night chineck ko kung available na yung Pacquiao Mosley pero ang nakalagay Free PPV ni Morales and Maidana kinabukasan hehe then after nun Available na yung Pacquiao Mosley.

So far maganda ang signal ng Cignal. I was able to watch at a friends house. In Barangay Holy Spirit Quezon City. Even with a little rain crystal clear pa rin yung picture and sound. no black outs what so ever. Safe to say great performance. :) I will give Cignal a call tomorrow to have my tv installed too. :)

yeah, H.O. is open til 12MN

at least they have added CS line also... but still, come finish line it will still be congested.
for the record, our PPV activation requests are being attended properly, they have dedicated CS for the PPV.
All subs for activation are being checked for updated payments and if not they are being called upon by CSR to settle first payment prior activation of your PPV.

we are now requesting activation @ 20-30 subs/day... getting higher everyday.
will stop accepting 3 days before the fight to avoid stress of fuming subs wanting to activate their PPV.

alam nyo naman Pinoy, kung kelan oras na.. dun naman pa activate yan :D

We experience the same thing from time to time.  I think however it is not that there isn't any signal from the satellite but rather the box has issues.  So far we just turn the box off then turn it back on again, and the problem goes away.

Post by: lncc63 on May 02, 2011 at 10:04 AM
We also noticed that the dish is very sensitive to the wind.  Originally, I stuck to the old antenna saying "height is might".  This may still be true but there is no point in having height if you aren't aimed.  So I'm glad I did not insist that the installation guys attach it to our roof but instead let them do as they recommended and put it on the side of our house. 

I've read that some are calling up Cignal and getting stabbed with their P500 visitation fee ...  but I'll not get into the gripes on this.  I just want to mention that if your dish get misaligned it is actually possible for you to realign it yourself.  You can do this using the signal strength indicator in the setup screen of the box.   All you need to do is to adjust the dish so the reading is maximum.  Before you touch the dish however I suggest you take an ink marker and put marks where it presently adjusted, this would be best done when it is installed the first time.  However if it is already misaligned, putting marks is still a good idea if the misalignment is only slight.   The marks serve the purpose of being able to find the "last known good adjustment".

Lesson learned.

Batasan Hills is just around the corner. :) Thanks a lot Pinoy Dvd members. you have been of great help. God bless everyone here.

I called up this morning strawberryfoods at 4826238, emailed the requirements and now is waiting for their advice. Is there a way to fastrack the connection? Or baka me kakilala kayo na dapat kong kausapin para ma sched kaagad ako?

Commonwealth area ako. I just want my BTV, NBA premium asap and Pacquiao fight  ;D.

Hello Bro. Cignal told me that they would call me. But i ended up calling them do call 244-62-51 i think it would be faster. Or call 09261784075 kay Pevee or Rima 09054634253. Both are from Strawberry Food Corp. aabot ka for the fight of Manny P. I called signal to complain about Pevee. i think they brought my compalint to HRD. That way it will be faster. I think they might install mine by May 4. Since i've waited for 120 hrs. already.

sorry din sa OT.pero to answer your Q brader ninja,and kay thebat na din:

available ang nba premium hd channel sa destiny.pay 600 for installation and the box,set ka na.yung 600 bale will cover 4months worth.may 2year lock in period.

natapos na kase contract ng BTV sa global destiny,kaya ako din nagulat kung kelan laban ng boston at miami e static na lang nakikita ko where btv used to be.

nung monday pumunta na sa akin yung destiny para kabitan ng NBA Premium. Ang naging problema di lumitaw yung reception ng NBA TV kse masyadong mahaba at malayo yung cable ko sa poste ng destiny. iba daw kse yung frequency nung regular channels kesa sa NBA premium with box. Yung signal amp booster kaya lang yung regular channels, ayaw lumitaw nung NBA premium.

Malamang ganun din issue pag sky digital. Perfect sa akin yung satellite dish kse malayo house ko sa kahit anong street post ng cable companies.

I will try to call up Strawberry fields c/o Rima para pansinin naman nila ako (magmamakaawa na ako  :'().

Hi Bro. pag si Rima kausap mo. ok yun, pero pagforward nila niyan sa may Straberry Food Corp. at San Mateo  di ka na nila asikasuhin. I gave my complete documents up to now walng ngangyayari. Don't purchase your Cignal from them. When they say that they will call you. forget it, that's not going to happen. They will only text you but they won't call you. I had to cancel my installation kasi ang gulo nilang kausap. :( :o :'(  I talked to Pevee and Clrariss dead end.  my acct. is getting nowhere. I'll forward my issues sa HRD. Which might be my finlal option. After Manny P.'s fight magikot ikot ulit yungcignal sa daan para maglako ng sat dish nila.

Medyo naiintidihan ko din sila kse I'm sure daming nagpapakabit not only dun sa gustong manuod ng Pacquiao, kundi pati dun sa kagaya kong nawalang ng BTV channels dahil sa hunayupak na destiny cable na yan (isama na natin yang ABS CBN na yan, mga hayuf kayo!!!).

Correct ka dyan Thebat. Like i said it will take you like forever to reach them. Try to call early morning or late evening sa hotline then look for the supervisor. They will do thier best. Since mine is pending. Try daw nila bukas ako kabitan. Kaso di pa sila tumawag kung anong oras ako kabitan. They told me to wait. Anyway, i'm waiting for a call from pldt. wait ko sila with in 24 hrs. para maactivate yung watchpad sa Big ticket Manny P. fight. it's great if you have a p.c. with watchpad installed. i'm keeping my fingers crossed. here is the cel direct line to head office of Strawberry food corp. at san Mateo try calling 09152419257.

Pero napansin ko kahapon nawala yun poster sa channel 79 balik sa norman na "Please call customer service to avail the event" kaya tawag ako sa CSC nila. Sabi ng agent activate na ngunit my technical probem, sabi forward nya sa technical group yung problema wait nalang 15-30 minutes sa acctivation. After mga 1 hour wala pa rin. Celfone lang kasi pantawag dito sa area wala landline dito sa area ko kay magastos sa load. Minabuti mag email sa kanila kagabi pero hannggang ngayon wala naman lang nag reply >:(. Nakausap ko din yung local agent nag install wala din matinong sagot. Ganda talaga ng service nila  :o

My Cignal was activated at last at around 8:30 this morning. just before the boxing match.
Here is the other hotline of Cignal that i want to share to all of you. 273=21-30. This number is
easy to call.

p.s. wait for the rain to stop.
For soft reset.

leave the box and the tv on
pull the card out and wait for 15 sec.
then put the card back in after 15 seconds.

For hard reset:
Turn the box off
unplug grom the out let then wait for 1 minute.
After 1 minute plug it in again then turn the box on.
the tv should also be on to see the programs. i

reposting from the other section:

No signal when it rains; is it common to Cignal?

it is not common to cignal...
it is common to ALL satellite broadcast TV using ku band and it is called RAIN FADE

also, it is not only when "raining" that it will lost signal.
you can categorize the rain level... you will lost signal only during HEAVY rain.
drizzle and normal rain would be okay as long as the satellite dish is properly tuned. (like last Sunday PPV)
another thing, thunder clouds has bigger impact due to cumulonimbus clouds, that is a wall of water up in the sky that can block satellite feed. that's why sometimes they lost signal before it rains, but when the rain start pouring broadcast resumes. We use that as indicator in less than 5 min. heavy rain will come.

it is worst to other satellite provider... why?
- they use smaller satellite dish diameter, cignal uses 75cm, other use 65cm /55cm
- they use a not so powerful satellite, Agila used to be the best satellite signal strength but it is already nearing end of life.

Bigger dish (6ft diameter) dish can solve rain fade?
Answer is NO, ku band is realy affected by rain fade
C band (freq) is the answer to rain fade, but it is not used by satellite tv providers. they use ku band.

fyi

I saw the CIGNAL crew van around noontime today. I told them I have a pending application since the pre pacquiao fight but got no call from them. Ayun, 2pm nakabitan ako agad  . Mas ok palang dumertso sa field crew para magpakabit instead of talking to CIGNAL reps (over the phone). I also got their personal cellphones para pag me service needed diretso na ako sa kanila (field crews).

After 2 days daw activation for my plan 1290. I hope this is all worth it!

The HD box has an ethernet port at the back.  Has anyone tried using this?  Maybe it has a web interface.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on May 29, 2011 at 01:13 PM
ethernet port at the back is a future usage for IPTV. Internet Protocol TV is designed for MDU subscribers wherein satellite dish is not allowed for use. instead, they use LAN cable to distribute satellite signal. it is commonly used in Singapore wherein LAN cable is used for telephone, cable, internet using fiber optic technology.

I know for one condo ongoing construction that they are being designed to accomodate such technology.
I have seen one demo unit working in cignal office, dunno if it is still there. IPTV requires at least 2MBPS speed for a seamless connection.

@APJC: That is nice to know, but bad for the budget :(
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: lncc63 on May 29, 2011 at 03:26 PM
Thanks Bro.   So I guess there isn't much, if anything, to be had from connecting it to your LAN.    Any idea why Cignal's rates are lower than Sky's?  Actually I prefer cable, it seems more reliable.  During the recent rains, our dish could not get a signal.  Now my wife wants me to put rabbit ears on the TVs :(.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on May 30, 2011 at 05:29 AM
IMHO, cignal rates are not lower. it is Sky that is charging too much on their subscription rates. remember that they always make sure they had the majority of the market to make a commanding position. when competition comes they simply buy them out like what happened to home cable and some provincial cable operators that they bought. it is again the monopoly thinking of Lopez group.

as for the lost signal during heavy rain, we simply tell our subscribers... what is 5-10minutes of appreciation of what the Lord has made? :) enjoy the rain and sip some coffee with your loved ones. it is better than getting glued to your TV all the time.

Availed of plan P1290 and unit  was installed last May 22. Up to this time -- after repeated calls to Cignal and the installer, and after repeated checks on the parameters (which are all okay) as well as numerous soft and hard boots, I still have only about 20 channels. No HD and no movie channels, whatsoever, when I'm supposed to be getting all 60-plus channels.
 :-\ This is such a big disappointment!!!
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on May 31, 2011 at 07:00 PM
I dont think cignal has 60+ channel?
or do you mean the HD channels from ch60 to 68?

that unit needs to be retracked or re activated.
try also to reset your unit., ask your installer how.

if still same, better have the unit re checked, especially if it is the new PACE unit.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Questor on Jun 01, 2011 at 06:51 AM
Thanks Pentium. Today, the installer will be paying us a third visit. All of the missing channels  which I never had from the very start (all HDs, all movie channels, ABC 5, GMA7, etc.) have the diagnostic message "not locked." and their signal test bars are both zero. The few channels that are NOT MISSING have "locked" diagnostic message and strong (182 and 80) test bars.  The channel guide has the complete channel listing though.

If I remember it right, during the pointing of the satellite dish, only Channel 1 (Aksyon TV) was tested for signal strength. I don't remember Channel 5  (ironically, ABC 5 of the MVP conglomerate) being scanned for signal strength during the dish-pointing. When the installers came down from the rooftop, they were at a loss why there's no Channel 5 when even before activation and right after installation, Channels 1 and 5 should already be there. But no effort was made to re-point the dish to correct the "not locked" and zero signal test bars of Channel 5 as it was already dark by then.

I have a gut feeling that all the missing channels are grouped with Channel 5. Taking note that the system is dual band, I'd like to ask Sir. Pentium:  Shouldn't it be  standard operating procedure during installation to test both Channels 1 and 5 for signal lock and signal strength during dish-pointing? If it is correct that there are two channel groupings, I suspect that the group which includes the HD channels are more unforgiving of dish-pointing error, if such is the case.

As I've mentioned in my earlier post, I have gone through with all the resets, hard and soft boots many times already, as guided on phone by Cignal's call center agents and my installer. My account has already been activated and reactivated a number of times, but nothing has resolved the issue.

Anyway, whatever the problem may be (dish-pointing error, defective receiver or LNB or cable fault, etc)  I just want to get ALL of the channels I am paying for, considering that I am tied to this contract for three years. Still, as a consumer, I can pre-terminate this without paying any penalty in the light of the other contracting party's failure to provide service as elucidated in the contract. I don't want to do that but I can't be paying P1,290 a month for free to air channels I can get with a rabbit antenna and a few foreign channels I already have with my existing cable.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Questor on Jun 02, 2011 at 09:42 AM
Update on my Cignal install problem. As I suspected, it was an improperly aligned dish. Had the original install guy bothered to check the dish alignment instead of blaming everything else, then the problem would not have dragged on unnecessarily for two weeks. It's now okay thanks to the other guy who, nonchalantly, went through the trouble-shooting checklist.

Sa mga magpapakabit ng Cignal in the future, insist on having the signal strength on Channel 5 verified too as strong during  the dish-pointing procedure because the assumption that once Channel 1 tests good then the rest of the channels are also good is not valid. You can get strong signals at Channel 1 and zero at Channel 5. This tells us that there are two channel groupings, represented in the initial install by Channels 1 and 5.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Jun 02, 2011 at 05:50 PM
Cignal is billed one month in advance (check bill statement at the back)
upon installation, you already paid one month advance on it.

actually, postpaid and prepaid is not correct :)

it should be Prepaid Account and Billed Account
because when we say Pre Paid, that means we are paying for the service that we will be using
while Postpaid means we are paying the service that we already used.

in essence, Cignal and other company charging advance one month is not really a postpaid account anymore.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Questor on Jun 04, 2011 at 11:00 AM
Thus far, I've only tested the digital out of HBO and Star Movies from the coax of the STB going into the receiver.

For the films I've seen in HBO HD, the implementation of the 5.1 digital out is wrong. You get the voice from all of the channels, including the surrounds. No panning of sound whatsoever. It seems the center channel is merely replicated in all the other channels. Selecting two-channel PCM digital out for dolby prologic or dts neo processing, only the center channel gets active.

For Star Movies HD, actual surround information is decoded by prologic and dts neo using two-channel pcm, leading to the conclusion that the star movies hd pcm out is indeed two separate channels unlike the hbo hd pcm which, I suspect, is only really one channel.

I don't know if the above will also hold true from the hdmi out going into the receiver since my pioneer receiver does not have hdmi :)
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Jun 04, 2011 at 04:20 PM
please note that HBO HD sometimes or most of the times show movies that are still not HD.

We just had our Cignal Satellite installed last Saturday, the installer told us na may 48-hour wait to get all the channels, as initially only chanel 1 and 5 will be available. My question is that, if we accidentally turned off the box, ma-re-reset ba ulit to a 48-hour wait, parang ganun kasi ang nangyari. We got 2 boxes, yung one kasi, all channels are already available, pero yung isa, na-unplug ata so wla pa rin hanggang ngayon  ??? I noticed yung time sa box, tama na pag available na yung channels.

No signal when it rains; is it common to Cignal?

it is not common to cignal...
it is common to ALL satellite broadcast TV using ku band and it is called RAIN FADE

also, it is not only when "raining" that it will lost signal.
you can categorize the rain level... you will lost signal only during HEAVY rain.
drizzle and normal rain would be okay as long as the satellite dish is properly tuned. (like last Sunday PPV)
another thing, thunder clouds has bigger impact due to cumulonimbus clouds, that is a wall of water up in the sky that can block satellite feed. that's why sometimes they lost signal before it rains, but when the rain start pouring broadcast resumes. We use that as indicator in less than 5 min. heavy rain will come.

it is worst to other satellite provider... why?
- they use smaller satellite dish diameter, cignal uses 75cm, other use 65cm /55cm
- they use a not so powerful satellite, Agila used to be the best satellite signal strength but it is already nearing end of life.

Bigger dish (6ft diameter) dish can solve rain fade?
Answer is NO, ku band is realy affected by rain fade
C band (freq) is the answer to rain fade, but it is not used by satellite tv providers. they use ku band.

question lang since I am a new Cignal subscriber:

1. Meron bang billing na ipapadala? How can I know if I am due for payment na? Postpaid billed account you should be receiving billing delivered by LBC.
2. How will I know my Cignal account number? You may check your card number and text it to 09189244625 and they will reply with your account status.
3. How much additional pakabit and monthly cost for 1 TV including all HD channels? If manila, P1,000 installation + DC power pass splitter + P@30 advance fee. Your monthly fee will be P230 for the new box.
4. (bakit) wala bang Adult channels dito  ;D?  They tried, it was not approved by MTRCB. That was called ChannelX

Yung humax hd box merong optical out, yung bagong hd box walang optical, coaxial digital out lang. i connected the coax digital out to my receiver pero tinanggal ko rin dahil so far ay hindi tama ang implementation ng 5.1 ng cignal for most of the channels like what i've said in previous posts. i mostly watch the sports, nat'l geo, discovery, food network and history hd channels so i'm contented with the audio from my tv speakers.  :)

what brand is the new box?  HD boxes should have digital out as they should carry 5.1 channel.

naka lock in pa ba kayo? i think cignal gives 6 months warranty lang sa box nila and lnb. but if you dont have a lock in anymore, sabihin nyo lang na pag di nila inayos foc sabihin mo youll cancel your subscription.. or pag may lock in pa kayo, mag demand ka ng replacement or else youll tell the DTI

under lock-in pa rin ako kaya lang binili ko yong kit. originally kasi prepaid ang plan ko then after 6 months nagpaswitch ako sa postpaid. sana nga palitan nila without any charges kasi dead unit talaga. i just tested it, power supply ang problem kaya repalcement talaga to.

my defective humax hd box was replaced today afternoon with pace hd box. i just paid php600 service charge. activated na rin sya ngayon. the pace hd box is much smaller than the humax. almost same size sya nong sd box mas thicker lang ng konti. power consumption is better than humax, 13watts on standby and 14watts in use. still disappointing same as humax before na almost no difference ang power consumption ng on at standby. yong humax kasi 20watts standby and 24watts in use.

about unresponsive remote control, nangyari rin sa akin kanina. i don't know how i fixed it. but one thing i did was to power cycle the stb. kasi functional naman yong remote base sa LED pag nagpress ng button. but yong stb walang response yong IR indicator. so most probably sa stb talaga nag problem.

Pace HD Remote is multi function.

Please press MODE and OK to switch between TV and Cignal control.
If still unresponsive, you may need to call your Dealer for a replacement.
Warranty is 1 month for remote, it should be no warranty. But since e are encountering issues on this HD remote we give 1 month at least.

too bad, I have replaced almost ten remotes now for this Pace unit :(

at pentium, if the remote is dead, are there buttons that can be pressed on the pace HD box that would get it out of the "what's on" screen -- that screen which shows the current channel on a small window at left corner? because if there is, even without the remote, one can navigate from channel to channel using the HD box's button.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

arrrggghhh, that would be hard indeed,. unlike the Humax hardware buttons. there's no way you can navigate on the Pace unit. will check if there's a way out.

@questor: remember that the remote is the failure and not Cignal the provider. bad talaga etong Pace unit na remote.

@trigo: the thing is, Lopez group will not provide Mediascape or Cignal the direct satellite box to re-broadcast their "owned" channel. the reason why Ch2, 23 are having ghost images. it is only a digitalized antenna feed. nothing much you can do to a company that owns Sky cable. If all channels goes digital, then Cignal feed will be okay for all local channels. For now, they need to restrict issuing the gadget, if not... wala na pakabit ng Sky. jmtc

At pentium, whether we are talking of a lemon car or a lemon remote, the blame is always on the seller or service provider, in this case Cignal. It is Cignal which provided the el-cheapo HD box and el-cheapo remote so there's no passing the buck here.  :) :) :) :)

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Sorry, i think wrong analogy Smart and Nokia / Cignal and HD box. Kse sa smart, the subscriber has a free hand on choosing which kind of cellphone he wants whether high end or cheap phones, whilst dun sa Cignal parang wala atang choice subscriber sa HD box so I think Cignal should see to it that the unit is AOK backed up with full service and warranty.


Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Questor on Jul 20, 2011 at 03:02 PM
simple lang ang analogy mga bigan. yung perang binabayad ko sa cignal, gumagana pag ginagastos nila. so yung binabayaran ko sa cignal -- hd box, lnb, and whatnot -- dapat gumagana rin. hindi iyong wala pang isang buwan sira na. a responsible service provider would ensure na ang ibinebenta o ang ipinapa-lease niyang equipment ay tried and tested.

in fact, hindi nga pwedeng tawaging lemon lang yan pace box o remote -- kung anuman ang sira -- dahil based on the posts here ay sangkaterba na ang nagko-conk out. ang lemon, paisa-isang bagsak sa QC at hindi tulad nitong pace na pino-provide ng Cignal na 50 percent yata ay depektibo.  ;D

had my hd subscription since april 2011

my humax hd box twice na naging unresponsive kahit mag power cycle ako and hugot sa outlet...
the solution: i do not know how it happened but biglang nagiging ok na lang after ilan hours ko iwan for work... ???

several times na din nawawalan ng signal kahit clear skies
sometimes i wonder kung pinutulan ako ng cignal kasi lagi ako kinukulit to settle my monthly bill kahit na settle ko na and have no outstanding balance at may nakuha pako na txt confirmation na settled na..

hd channels often get pixelated kahit un signal strength and quality ay ok
have instances on clear skies the signal quality fluctuates between 40 and 60. as in up and down un bars nya every second or so...

hd video quality on a good day ok maganda albeit medyo washout kahit ano gawin ko sa picture settings ng hd tv ko
audio quality ng sd at hd ANG PANGIT esp pag nakakabit sa avr. sometimes un audio ng hd ay stereo lang sometimes sa left channel lang and yes i use the optical cable connection ng humax dahil via hdmi hindi hd or digital ang audio. mas ok pa na direct sa tv na lang ang audio para hinde ganun kahalata ang poor audio ng cignal. madami pa kami ng wife ko rants about the audio...

cignal hotline we called a million times for technical support etc... but always busy and many times nka hold kmi ng 15 sometimes 30 mins then the line just gets cut off.. so in short wala pa kmi nkakausap sa hotline nila.

ay if only meron alternative hd provider sa laguna... but since wala tiyaga tiyaga na lang sa cignal.
welcome to the philippines where consumers our charged a premium for inferior products and services... :'( :( ;D

@ Sultan: your first line of contact should be the team who installed your unit. not the hotline. better call them up and have the unit checked especially the LNB. Check the contact numbers of Laguna in the cignal website if you don't know the installers number.

@ thebat/questor: the Pace thing? I went direct to Pace to resolve the issue thru their website. can't just wait for the service provider to do something, I go for the hardware provider.

I strongly suggest to all to get the cell phones of the team/persons who did your Cignal connection para meron kayong direct line to them kse sila din yung service crew. Pag dumaan kayo sa office nila I am sure matatagal kayo.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Questor on Jul 26, 2011 at 03:11 PM
i think the pace hd box replaced the humax. that's why pag nag-conk out na yung humax, they replace it with pace. what's good with humax, according to another poster, is that you can keep on watching even if the remote conks out or is lost. this is not possible with the pace box. once the remote is out and the box is unplugged, you'll reboot and get to the what's on screen, from which there is no getting out of.  :)

Sir sa u.s ang model logitech harmony one. Pero meron sila ibang model supported din kasi program mo naman yun remote sa pc mo meron kasama or puwede mo DL yun software sa net.

Bro check mo lang dito kung compatible yun device pag wala dyan pwede pa din ma learn ng logitech yun remote basta nasayo yun orig remote.

Bro P4, kumusta? bihira ka na ata tumabay sa kabilang forum ah :-) btw hint naman sa new HD regards!


sorry late reply..

new HD channels in the works... waiting for confirmation.

@ jhun: activation takes 3-4 days with complete requirements submitted.

Pace HD remote? yeah, fail here and there... supplies coming in.

Billing? just pay your monthly subs fee without the bill arriving... new billing delivery service will be replacing LBC.

Post by: thebat on Aug 03, 2011 at 02:18 PM
Meron lang akong kwento...

I emailed Cignal a week ago requesting for another connection to my room LCD (1st extension). They replied after a few days and asked me to submit (again) proof of income, etc for their review. Now, at the same day I emailed them, I texted my Cignal field team contact and replied immediately and texted me the cost (P575 for 2-way splitter, P1,000 labor, P230 advance month cost for 2nd box, plus the cost of additional cable to be used = P15 per mtr). Also they told me they can do the connection immediately (without the necessary prerequisite requirements asked by Cignal office).

Mas ok talagang dumeretso sa field team. I am sure pag service problems din mas ok dumeretso sa kanila.

Yun lang medyo nag back out muna ako kse wala pa akong budget for the 2k connection fee  ;D. Sayang kse it was offered to me before for free when they did my connection kse meron silang free promo nun, di ko pa na grab.

then its not a recall. kasi ang recall kahit working basta kasama ng affected batch nirereplace. its just like normal warranty.

Exactly.  :) Ang recall nirereplace kahit expired na ang warranty basta kasama sa defective batch. so hindi nga recall yan kung kasama sa defective batch pero hindi papalitan kung masisira outside of the warranty period.  ;D

ah okay...

sige SELECTIVE RECALL. ayan pwede na ba?

basta pag nasira 'yan papalitan ng bago.
eh hindi alam ni supplier kung alin batch affected eh. kaya kung alin sira yun ang palit.

@thebat: yep, available po ang remote P!50 lang yun.

@jhun: you may check PACE user manual on how to program remote to your TV. it should work as designed.

no, there is no recall on the process that they are doing. as i've said its a normal warranty. no wonder why their product has bad quality, they don't even have a proper tracking. how can do a recall if you don't know which one is affected?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Questor on Aug 25, 2011 at 03:26 PM
Or maybe there's no need to determine which batches are defective because all of the remotes are just waiting for the opportune time to conk out on unsuspecting users, either because of bad design, shoddy workmanship, lack of quality control or crappy materials used -- or all of the aforementioned.

balak ko magpakabit ng 1290 with 1 extra box . ask ko po; try ko answer ha, manila rate

1. magbabayad ba agad ng 1290 + 230 lease for the extra box? initial cash out is P1290, 230 and P500 installation fee for the 2nd box plus P575 for the satellite splitter.
2. may bayad  pa ba ang installation ng second box? yes, P500 only
3. ilan ang lock in period for 1290? HD plans are 24 months lock in
4. pagkatapos ba ng pagbayad ng lease and natapos na lock in period matatapos nadin ang 230 per month na lease nito or continued pa po after nung lock in. - as long as you use the service, you will be paying same rate.
5. hindi naba talaga magkakarun ng jack tv sa 1290? not possible yet, i believe jacktv is proprietary of Sky
6. lastly kung may extra box ka 1290 parin plus yung 230 na lease ang babayaran? - 3rd box? your 3rd box will be another P230.

thanks please help.

as for the Mayweather fight, no info if it will be carried on PPV but I believe it will be shown on TV5 on the said date.

Hi Guys!  Im interested in the Cignal HD service.  I called up the supplier in Pasig and was told that I need to pay an extra 100 for the wrapping fee daw (not sure?) .  So for example for 1 tv, 1290 (+100 wrapping fee) so pag nag add ka pa ng isang tv 230 (+100).  Sa initial cash out lang ata.  HIndi ko kasi nakita sa website tong charge na to.  Was planning on installing on my 2 LCD Tvs.

So my question is may wrapping fee ba talaga?  Standard ba to?  Sorry kung ibang term tawag nila.  Hindi ko naintindihan kasi sabi kanina sa phone.  Thanks in advance!

Post by: dmag08 on Sep 29, 2011 at 12:13 PM
to whom it may concern,

 i wrote this email to complain a certain service regarding the amount to be paid for the installation of the postpaid 1290+230 (extra box). Im From mayantoc Tarlac. Here is my dilemma, when i first knew about your free cignal kit for plan 990 and 1290 i quickly inquired about it through the dealer here in mayantoc Namely  joven (i dont know the surname) he said that the promo is ongoing until further notice that was 2 weeks ago and then by the time i was ready to pass my documents  3 days ago i ask him how much will i pay for the installation for the plan 1290 with 1 extra box he said it will be all in all 2000 (installation for both box with two satellite dish) and the 1290+230 for the 1st month deposit so all in all it the amount would be 3520.. By that time i hesitated already to pass my documents and what i did was i called your main office in manila and asked about if how much and the operator told me that it will only be 2020 for both installation o the 2 boxes and the 1st month deposit. so by that time i was really already confused because infos are getting inconsistent i knew that the main office told me the right amount because upon my search here in the cignal website the statement regarding the amount for installation for the boxes are clearly stated ( free 1000 worth of installation and only 500 will be paid for the installation of the 2nd box if done with the first) what i did was to finally call up cignal official partner here in tarlac for my final inquiry the same day ,i called them cause i thought maybe they are more convenient and hopefully coincides with the statement of the manila office. So i called infinireach a female answered my call and my queries and they told me the installation fee is 1500 less 1000 (advertised free installation)for the 1st box and 500 for the 2nd box,  then 1520 for the 1st month deposit for the total of 2520 and to top that she told me that the last amount to be paid will be depending to the technician who will install the unit   so that again i was hesitant to go to them and pass my requirments rather i told her that il call her back if im ready. So comes today after days passed i called infinireach to confirm the last amount to be paid and what are the requirments and to my dismay she told me that the amount will be 3200-1000(1000 free installation advertised) and 1520 for the 1st month deposit for the 1st and second box. i told her why after 2 days the amount suddenly jacked up and she told me "sir eto po kasi talaga sop namin kasi kakarating lang matrix namin" so i was like what the heck matrix? so to my dissapointment i didnt asked anymore inquiry and told her you guys are unbelievable for your inconsistencies and i politely said thank you hindi na po ako magpapakabit ng cignal. So this bring me to this email cause i want to know first hand whoever concerns about this issue should be dealt with and we consumers are really really annoyed about it actually there are total of 7 of us who are really willing to subscribed to your 1290 plan and since that till now we are not getting the plan cause of your distributors/dealers/partners inconsistencies on the pricing . Kumbaga parang nanloloko na po sila eh kasi walang silang isang salita. please grab a hold and better address this matter urgent kasi mawawalan kayo customer kung ganyan mga tao niyo. please enlighten me more and maybe il reconsider together with my friends to avail the plan. thank you


Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Sep 29, 2011 at 11:19 PM
This may not be the right venue but I will try to help you out.

Installation fee for tarlac is say P1,500
Sample quote
Plan 1290
1st box:
P1,290 (advance 1month)+ P500 (installation fee)
2nd box:
P230 (advance lease fee) + P500 (installation fee)

Plus dc power pass splitter, dc block and f connectors.
This is using only one dish installed 2 boxes same day.

Again, please take note that installation fee may vary per location and materials to be used.
Quote above is Cavite rate, installation fees are dictated by factors like location, ease of instal.

BTW, HOT DEALS PROMO has been extended until Dec. 31, 2011

@thebat: yes, bill delivery is still a problem with cignal, LBC is the courier service for it.

To be fair, Cignal it seems has improved.

What I'd like to share is that if ever you get disconnected or subscribe to a PPV and have more than one box, make sure you tell Cignal you have more than one box whenever you make follow ups.  It has happened to us more than once that one box is acted on (reactivated or enabled for PPV) but they fail to apply the same action needed for the other box(es).

Guys, help! ;D

I need your first hand experience or expertise in the following questions before proceeding with the installation.

1. Main concern is the rain/cloud caused signal interruption. I want to know how bad is this problem. How long is the average signal interruption? In a month how may interruption do you usually have? Does a slight rain or medium rain disrupt signal already or only on dark heavy clouds? Example, the last few typhoons how was your signal reception?

2. Installation. I am availing of plan 1,290 (free installation) plus 2 boxes at 730 each (230 1 month advance and 500 for installation each). My place is 2 floors, 1 box each room in 2nd floor and a box in the living room downstairs. Any more additional installation charges?

3. If ever a splitter is required, a Sulit dealer (not pentium4) informed me that for that extra 2nd and 3rd box to work the main box should be left turned on. How true is this?

Sana lahat ng dealers is like pentium4, I got a sense that they were ripping me off since they are charging me for installation fee where in it is suppose to be free. I went directly to Cignal instead which in turn passed me to Strawberry pending their feedback.

Thanks a lot! :)

Post by: andre on Oct 25, 2011 at 04:54 PM
Based on my experience.

1. Light rains or even heavy clouds wont affect the signal, But heavy rain will cut your signal.

2. Depends on the ongoing promo for your installer. (I heard if you show a receipt from Skycable then you can avail Pacquiao fight for free, I cant confirm this)

3. A splitter is required for extra boxes, A line amplifier is recommended if you dont want any signal loss.

Guys, help! ;D  ey bro, here's some answer and i hope it can help out...

I need your first hand experience or expertise in the following questions before proceeding with the installation.

1. Main concern is the rain/cloud caused signal interruption. I want to know how bad is this problem. How long is the average signal interruption? In a month how may interruption do you usually have? Does a slight rain or medium rain disrupt signal already or only on dark heavy clouds? Example, the last few typhoons how was your signal reception?  search rain fade and it tells you this phenomena on ku band satellite feeds. however, to minimize occurrence cignal is using 75cm dish which is the biggest among the three DTH provider and using a more powerful transponder with NSS11 satellite. Plus, this could also be minimized if your unit is properly installed getting the standard signal reading as the lowest reading for your setup. The only thing that affects signal disruption is thick heavy rain clouds. typhoon should be okay as along as you have electricity,cloud movements is faster during typhoon reducing the risk of rain fade. in case of signal loss, it normally takes minimum 3 min and max of 10 min of which your signal resumes once signal feed returns.

2. Installation. I am availing of plan 1,290 (free installation) plus 2 boxes at 730 each (230 1 month advance and 500 for installation each). My place is 2 floors, 1 box each room in 2nd floor and a box in the living room downstairs. Any more additional installation charges? installation is free on your 1st box (manila area), 2nd and 3rd box will be P500 a piece add in the lease fee advance for each box. extra charges only on coax cable if each box uses more than 15m allotted plus the DC block.

3. If ever a splitter is required, a Sulit dealer (not pentium4) informed me that for that extra 2nd and 3rd box to work the main box should be left turned on. How true is this? 4 way splitter is charged P750 for a good branded unit, Main unit need not to be ON in order to use the other two secondary unit BUT is required to be at least on STANDBY mode if not in use in order to power up the LNB and provide signal feed to the secondary unit. 2 way splitter is P525 but is not suited for your need of 3 boxes.

Sana lahat ng dealers is like pentium4, I got a sense that they were ripping me off since they are charging me for installation fee where in it is suppose to be free. I went directly to Cignal instead which in turn passed me to Strawberry pending their feedback.
thanks for the compliment, getting more subs and maintaining a good service is hard, especially if you have a defective hardware being supplied :( but still we strive to make the best service for our area of Cavite and provide what we can offer to the fullest

In my own experience, I seldom experience rain cloud interruption. Weird nga eh kse pag umaambon lang, minsan I experience this pero very short 3-5 secs lang, parang nag aadjust lang yung signal. I never experienced no signal during bagyo like the recent Pedring. So far so good ang CIGNAL sa akin (ang nawala sa akin 8 days yung Destiny cable kse naputol pala kable sa poste during bagyo). Very happy customer here.

I tied to use the hdmi cable connected to the box-tv, connected it to a dvd player, walang av, then connected it back sa box, ayun na naman walang sound, naka ilang rstart nako wala pa din. Possible ba na yug hdmi cable ang sira? Pwde ba na walang audio pero may video amg hdmi o totally wala both dapat pag sira sya? I dont habe an extra hdmi with me right now kaya di ko maisolate. Tnx!

any idea guys?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Ser trigo, ur signal levels are already above the minimum required. Your ppv may have been activated while unit was off, try to call cignal again and request for a ppv re activation.

Please note, your account should be active and no outstanding balance to get your ppv channel activated.

Fyi

i went to the local dealer and they suggested they try it instead of the call center and true enough after 30mins it was activated.  it was still pending when they checked my account.  during the time i called cignal call center, my unit was on.  i even had to turn it on for more than 24h just to be sure.

if im already a HD subcriber and wanted to have a 2nd Box but add-on 230/mnth ay mabigat na, can i juz buy a second hand Cignal HD BOX to serve as my extension/2nd box and no more additional 230 monthly na? ipa install lang s distributor here.

TIA

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Nov 06, 2011 at 06:57 PM
@crazyhog:  it will be more costly than getting a second box @ P230/month only.

using another box means another account and that would be another P1290 per month (your existing plan). you will end up paying two account per month rather than paying your existing HD plan and P230 lease only.

fyi

The 230/mo for a second box attached to your account is too cheap already.  You dont pay for the box and it has the same channels as the main account.

Technically there should be no reason why you shouldn't be able to do this.  I imagine though that the actual reason is that Cignal's subscription management system is not sophisticated enough to handle this. 

On two occasions already, they were unaware (forgot) that we had two boxes.  One box would be activated for a PPV but not the 2nd one.

Ganda ng Pacquiao-Marquez III HD feed compared sa sd not only in terms of picture quality but because the screen of the sd feed was framed with so many advertisements so ang liit na ng actual video ng boxing. only drawback with hd (i don't know kung sa SD rin) e nawalan ng signal for a few seconds for about three times.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Nov 22, 2011 at 04:25 PM
recall has ended on affected units

per cignaltv: remote control warranty is 1 month only, though it was 6 months before.
in case you will purchase a remote, it is only P132.00 not P300 as you mentioned.

delivery fee can be charged up to P300 but if pick up in dealer office, it should just be P132.00

hope this helps

thanks

each provider system has their own advantage and dis advantage.
no bearing to compare ang dalawa kasi they are two different broadcast method.

sorry sir medyo nalito ako, alin yung mas malinaw, cignal o sky hd?

Overall, I'm happy with Cignal.  Sky is too expensive IMHO.  I hope as Cignal's subscriber base grows, they will give some of the gains back to their subscribers by way of more channels and/or multi-channel audio.  I think we can already see them giving back with the better service they are now giving.

Does anyone know what kind of encoding Cignal and Sky are using - MP2 or MP4 or maybe something else?  This is the only way I know that one can be "malabo" over the other.  Otherwise since both are digital signals, it's usually an all or nothing proposition.

The LNB is that "thing" on the end of the arm that faces the dish, right? Does that mean I have to replace it or aayusin lang?

depends kung yan ang sira o mis aligned ang dish.. sometimes pag sira ang lnb kahit anong align ng dish di magkaka signal, minsan naman ayus ang lnb, sira lang ang alignment, sayang naman kung bibili ka ng lnb..

LNB has 6 months manufacturer warranty  and should be replaced free of charge within the said period once issue is reported to Cignal Authorized dealer or thru Cignal Hotline.

If you are seeing channels but not all of them, especially HD. then you might have a bad alignment.
If totally no channels, it would be a defective LNB.
check also your coax cable from LNB to the STB box make sure it is well connected.

Fox Movies Premium HD, which replaced Star Movies HD, says it is broadcasting "Dolby Broadcast in 5.1 Surround Sound".  I have our box connected via HDMI and SPDIF to a Yamaha RX-V3800 AVR however the AVR will not report a 5.1 signal.  I'm pretty sure I have the AVR setup correctly.

Is there a setting in the box that I need to have set?

cignal strikes again!!!

yong mga nag avail nong promo last dec 2010 ng pay 12  months advance and get 3 months free, better check your account status now. baka magulat na lang kayo na di pala kayo entitled don sa promo.

eto ang case ko.

from prepaid 1290 nagswitch ako sa postpaid 1290 at nagtook effect yon nong dec 2, 2010. then nakita ko yong 12+3 promo so i paid for 12months nong dec 13, 2010. after payment i verified sa cs kung pasok ako sa promo and they said yes. i received the first billing (maybe few months after payment di ko kasi narereceived regularly), i called them again about the promo kasi wala sa bill. i got confirmation na sa end daw makicredit yong free.

i just waited until maubos ang payment ko. last month i saw na may amount due na ako so i called cs again to verify. i got confirmation again na pasok ako sa promo then they will forward my concern sa billing department para maayos ang billing. i got my new billing statement today at andon pa ring yong last month + this month so i called cs again to ask kung anong nangyari don sa last service report.

nakakagulat malaman na hindi raw ako entitled don sa 3months free kasi may outstanding balance daw ako nong nagbayad ako ng 12months advance. talagang nakakagulat kasi pano ako magkakaroon ng balance e switcher nga ako from prepaid nong dec 2 at dec 13 ang payment ko. at bakit ngayon lang nila sinabi yon??? ang explanation nila kasi raw advance billing at may around 2.5k raw akong dapat bayaran ang due date is dec 25. ang galing ng mga palusot nila kaya lang sobrang sablay!. pano magiging outstanding balance yon kung dec 25 pa ang due date eh naavail ko yong promo ng dec 13?

nakakamangha talaga kung pano sila mag-isip. kaya heads up guys! baka ganyan din mangyari sa inyo. sa ngayon nasa supervisor na ang case ko at 3pm today bibigyan ako ng update kung naresolve na nya or else escalate ulit ako.

Anyway, i called to ask how long my contract is due and i was told 1 yr pa. Termination fee is monthly bill x remaining mos. So i just asked to downgrade my plan coz i cant afford to pay P1290/mo sbi ng CSR di daw pwede! E instead na ipang-bayad ko sa caterer para sa kasal ko, inood ko nalang ng tv?! Wala akong reklamo sa cignal, its just that kailangan ko mag cut-back ng expenses. So gusto ba nila maging "delinquent payer" na lang ako? Ok lang! :)

I dont think the csr has the power to do that, you got a cignal unit from them at no cost thus the lock in period.  It is fair for them to charge you of pre-termination cost.  Parang cellphone company lang yan.

Not sure if mine is an isolated case... i received one sms text from a collection agency only this morning, stating that they were contracted by Mediascape to collect an oustanding balance of php 2k+. I am not concerned with the amount but disappointed with the fact that I am getting billed for something that have not been working since more than a year ago. I've reported this before and yet no one ever showed up.

Ever since then, I just relied on my existing Destiny and Skycable subscriptions.

I sms texted back and pointed out to whoever sent me that sms text, that the service has stopped working more than a year ago, and I've reported it but nobody showed up to fix it. Also pointed out to send my feedback to their client, Mediascape (CignalTV).

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Jan 17, 2012 at 07:35 PM

alpha numeric code is unique per box / account
it is used as finger printing by Cignal TV as provider.
once in a while, enterprising cable tv operators use Cignal TV feed as part of their channel line up.
when security fingerprinting happens, it will display that alpha numeric codes on your screen.
If a cable tv operator uses a cignal feed, it will appear on all cable tv subscriber on that particular channel.
when this happen, that particular code is associated to a particular account of which they can de-activate.
in effect, that account is blacklisted and cannot be used anymore.

hth

smart card # is found on your inserted card on the STB.
power off unit, unplug power supply
if Humax; open right side panel of your stb and unplug the smart card, there you will see your SC number
if Pace; it is visible outside and can be easily removed

return card properly and plug in power supply.

They are charging me PHP350 for a remote that lasts for only 15 days after its warranty period of one month.... How cool is that!!!! Even the Head Office called me up to say the same thing.  It means that I will pay PHP350 every other month as the remote will just last for more than a month...  :D

Thanks for the response sir... if only your dealership is near to us, I could have got my account with you.

That's what I told my dealer that others have stocks.  >:(

How much and where can I buy a universal remote that can be use with the Pace box?



Bro, try the Newstar Learning Universal Remote (NTR-S84L)... cost me PhP500
But you must have the original remote to copy (learn) the codes.

My EPG is screwed up. Only few channels view the channel guide. The rest show the shows are the channel's name, like what you're supposed to see on an Free-to-Air channel. Kinda difficult tracking my favourite show (though History HD isn't affected to yay!!) (Plan 999/Pace Box)

Both channels will be replaced on February 11 and 4 respectively. We would like to thank everyone for their feedback and support."

don't want to pre empt anything, mahirap na baka iba lumabas eh.

Before I subscribed to Cignal, I actually weighed the content they advertised into my decision since the rates are not a trivial portion of our monthly budget, AND it involved a commitment on my part to stay a customer for 24-months.

Frankly speaking, and I believe I am not alone, I feel CHEATED with the behavior and direction Cignal seems to be taking.  I am however a reasonable person, and have come to expect such less than professional behavior particularly from this group of companies, and am willing to give some measure of patience so I will still wait and see.  However please do not brush off the complaints by saying "stay tuned na lang".  

We are Cignal's customers.  We are giving them our hard earned money.  At the very least, we should be given respect and consideration.  You, as member of Cignal's organization, should be apologizing for the inconvenience, confusion and uncertainty, and assuring us that we will continue to get our money's worth in the very near future.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: johnhw on Feb 05, 2012 at 12:20 PM
I can see where is this going.

Plan 390 = Base plan of Cignal (Not counting Plan 250 is that is really scarce on channel)

Plan 590 = MUCH MORE SD Channels + a bit of HD Channels over Plan 390

Plan  990 = a bit more SD Channels + MUCH MORE HD Channels over 590

Plan 1290 = MUCH MORE SD Channels (I see more 1290 SD Exclusive channels than HD channels right now) + a bit more HD Channels

Plan 1590 = Mother of all plans. ALL SD Channels + ALL HD Channels

Still I'm dissapointed of Cignal removing History HD. Unless if they bring it back to 1290 which would mean upgrade mo me.. hehehe.

Yeah but it does not mean it is right.  Such is the current state of the content delivery industry, so us consumers have no recourse but to suffer.  Shouldn't the gov't be protecting us consumers?  

Actually, I would think my reaction would not be as intense if I'd been told way in advance.  I watch History Channel EVERYDAY when I get home from work, and at least several hours on weekends.  A few days ago, I came home and the box told me there was no Channel 63.

So in order for me to have History HD plus a few more HD channel is to go up to plan 1590 (from 1290)? Oh, wow! I guess ganyan talaga business. If you want more you have to pay for more.

Lets see, cignal you have the most HD lineup (compared to sky) when you are starting.  Now, sky has caught up.  Di pa naman final, I will be patiently watching the transformation and hope that it is good.  If not, then I am switching... I am sure, many subscribers are thinking like me.

It is but normal for some subs who are really into a particular channel to act like one.
I've seen it a couple of times, whenever a channel lease period ends and not renewed.
the problem is, this channel providers jack up their fees that service providers has to play with the pricing in terms of channel offering in order to still give the best alternative.

a service provider will either request for a lower price or not to avail the channel at all due to stiff price.
and History HD is one PREMIUM channel that may have a high price.

Kaya ako nag Cignal kse meron nang NBA Premium, meron pang BTV (NBA addict here).

QUESTION: How does one prevent rain water from entering the LNB? I'm already on my third LNB in just 19 months. The last one was half filled with water. Can the LNB seams where water might be coming in be dabbed with a little silicone sealant? Is the white cap of the LNB of porous material (although it looks plastic) because if it is then water might also be entering through there.

At last new HD channels. Not bad upgrading from plan 1290 to plan 1590. You'll get an additional 5 HD channel. Looking forward for the Universal HD. :)

Just noticed, wala na yung History HD!!! And even the regular History HD wala narin!! I hope they'll change that or pwede sana mag request. That was one of the channels that i often tune in to. :(  >:(

This is really so disappointing.  Cignal can't just pull the plug on History HD cause it was one of the primary reasons people gambled and jumped on their channel.  Now that they got their consumer base, it seems like they're pulling a 'bait & switch' strategy.

The replacement channels are NOT commensurate to the market value of History  or Bio for that matter.  It also covers a new genre which totally screws up the HD diet of the ones who adopted Cignal.  We should make our voices be heard!  If you're frustrated with this unilateral move and want to peacefully express your discontent, please just LIKE the "Bring Back History on Cignal" page on Facebook

Then spread the word so that the Cignal/Mediascape guys will heed our call and do some corrective actions.  Is this the way they will repay the customers who flocked to their side when they were just starting out?

  • Babawasan yung monthly service fee
  • and/or Subscriber can end their subscription should they chose to



couldn't agree more. what's frustrating is that they already short-change you on the package you originally bought, then they continue enforce that you're locked-in - throwing in the legal jargon in the fineprint of their contracts.  corporate muscle at play.  thanks for liking the page bud.

haha don't worry bro anchit, dadami rin yan eventually. actually ngayon we've got 14 likes already.  the important is we get the chance to express our sentiments. when aired my viewpoint on cignal's actual FB site, they acknowledged my concern and hinted that there is a chance to sway things if a number of customers react adversely. here's their response:

Cignal Digital TV: We also want History HD and Bio; we are trying our best and have mentioned before that these channels may return or not based on customer feedback as well as the negotiations. It's just that we can't promise anything in regards to timelines, again, no guarantees


continue to spread the word on the page. every LIKE counts. :)

Kse nung naapektuhan sya sa load ng mga Telco nasira lahat ng business ng mga CP at telco dahil pinatigil ni senator (music content subscription with pay). Dapat isumbong din to sa kanya. Tamang tama malapit na botohan baka kailangan nyang mag pa pogi ulit  ;D

Fashion TV HD apparently is now 1590.. this is getting my hopes up Cartoon Network HD in 990.  ;D (More logical since having Cartoon Network HD would be a really great addition to new subs.. which is means more money.. hehe)

Discovery Turbo HD is also moved to the new P1590 plan.  I don't watch this but my kids do.

Let's not forget the disappearance of The History Channel HD.

The ONLY "new" channel I seem to like is The Outdoor Channel HD ... but I'll take educational qualities of the the History Channel over it anytime.

I stand corrected.  Fox Movies Premium is included under Plan 1290.  At least I have the decency to admit when I am wrong.

Cignal should offer subscribers with contracts that want to switch a waiver on the penalties for cutting the contract short.  Sure the contract says Cignal has the right to change the content however I think their is an implied right to get the same value which some clearly feel has not been the case.  For those that bought equipment, Cignal could offer an equipment buy-back scheme.

Yes. I may be wrong that while HDTVs upconvert all signals to their native resolution, in your case 720p, the cignal source at plan 390 is still standard definition as denoted by the tag SD.

same here.  i'm from Cabuyao laguna.   medyo hindi yata interested sa new subscribers ang may hawak ng laguna area.   i emailed them and bilis naman reply asking for my number,  after giving my number they called the next day.   told them im at home during weekends, no prob daw just call them na lang daw when i'm at home and asked me to ready my docs when the installation team arrives.  

come saturday, i called their mobile number,  naka 5 times yata ako, no answer.  siguro busy sa dami ng customer.. ok lang will try again later.    malapit na matapos ang araw, i got no return call or atleast an sms so i tried to call again.   may sumagot na,  i again expressed my interest in getting the PLAN 590.   sabi ng kausap ko kung sure na daw ako papuntahain nya installation team bukas (sunday).  i texted my name and address again although i already gave them all my info on the email.    

waited all day last sunday.... no calls or text... no Cignal installation team came....  until now, i haven't heard from them again.

disappointed lang.  parang di sila excited for new subscribers.   siguro masyado na marami customers sa laguna area.  i decided not to subscribe anymore kahit na tumawag pa ulit sila.  kung new application pa lang di na maganda paano pa kung nagbabayad na ako at may problema ako sa system.  

siguro isolated incident lang yung sa akin...  just wanna share my experience.   hindi siguro kawalan sa kanila ang isang prospective subscriber tulad ko.   or baka nadisappoint sila dahil plan 590 lang kukunin ko, lease option pa!!  :D

same here.  i'm from Cabuyao laguna.   medyo hindi yata interested sa new subscribers ang may hawak ng laguna area.   i emailed them and bilis naman reply asking for my number,  after giving my number they called the next day.   told them im at home during weekends, no prob daw just call them na lang daw when i'm at home and asked me to ready my docs when the installation team arrives.  

come saturday, i called their mobile number,  naka 5 times yata ako, no answer.  siguro busy sa dami ng customer.. ok lang will try again later.    malapit na matapos ang araw, i got no return call or atleast an sms so i tried to call again.   may sumagot na,  i again expressed my interest in getting the PLAN 590.   sabi ng kausap ko kung sure na daw ako papuntahain nya installation team bukas (sunday).  i texted my name and address again although i already gave them all my info on the email.

Hi, we would like to apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused you. Again I have sent you a PM if you are still interested. Cignal will not make such actions and tolerate them as per my assurance. If 590 is the plan you want, we will make sure that the interest of all potential subscribers and their queries are attended to. Walang favoritism na porket mas malaki ang ina-avail na plan, mas priority. Though siyempre mas maganda panigurado ang viewing experience pag naka-Cignal HD! God Bless! :)

Sir Pentium,

Baka puwede magpatulong. Up to now kasi wala kaming way magamit yung cable due to faulty remote control. I reported this yesterday and they told me na 2 days ang delivery. Then today, tumawag ako to confirm ang sabi it will take 4 days daw. Pag i-count yung 4 days, halos lampas na 1 week na hindi namin magagamit yung cable.

Hopefully you can help to expedite the delivery of the remote.

Eto yung binigay na reference number. IRN000000093601

TIA..

So far, all prepaid accounts are still active even if it was not loaded for more than 6 months. :)
But, since it is like a sim card network based, it should have an expiry date in order to remain active.
I believe we were told it should be loaded before 3 months.

Outright purchase kit warranty is 6 months.
Lease unit is warrantied as long as within lease period.
Remote will be the common defect, while LNB comes second and the unit itself if due to manufacturing defect.

there is a factor kasi... the bigger factor.. how big was your CRT? how big is your LCD?..

and its true.. CRT's will always look better than LCD in SD... because thats what theyre built to broadcast...

just as Flat panels will always be better than CRT in HD broadcast.. for the same reason above.

Nag-avail ako ng plan 590 at naikabit naman ng maayos ang kaso yung Cignal HD kit ko eh sobrang init kahit na naka stand-by mode lang sya. Ang pagkaalam ko pag nakastand-by eh dapat hindi ganon kainit kasi consider sya as off kasi konting part lang ang gumagana eh.

Dapat ko bang ireklamo ito at sabhin na palitan ang unit?
Kung dapat ireklamo kaso hindi pumayag ang taga cignal napalitan ang unit eh pwede ko bang ireklamo ito sa DTI?

Thanks in Advance!

Bro mas ok kung tatawag ka muna sa Cignal Hotline para malaman mo kung meron kababayaran. Yun sa akin kasi sinabi ng cignal partner kung na inform daw ako na meron service charge na P600  at kung sira daw yun LNB P300 sabi ko sa kanila na wala daw ako babayran sabi ng cignal pero nag insist pa din na meron daw pero tumawag ako uli sa cignal at nag note sila na wala ako babayaran kahit  na Jan 2011 pa yun account ko sa kanila dahil under lease plan (P1290) ako.

I recently availed of the Cignal Prepaid HD Plan 590 via Dish Enterprises.
In only three (3) weeks of service, I encountered two (2) problems already:

- Error message of "Please insert SIM card" even if the card is inserted
*Took 6 days before service was restored (eventually Dish Enterprises replaced Receiver Box)

- No channels/signal being received in HDMI mode, despite Receiver (replacement one that was provided) having Power
*Took 3 days before service was restored (advice of technician was to never turn OFF the Receiver Box via the remote.  If turning OFF, just unplug it from the wall socket)

Has anybody experienced these problems, sirs?  If so, what did you do to have the problem resolved?  Did you contact Cignal directly, or did you contact the vendor where you got your Prepaid/Postpaid account?

All after sales support should be reported direct to Cignal Hotline, specially units still under warranty.
Your box may need replacement again. anything that is not part of the functionality of a unit even turning off thru unplugging from wall outlet is considered a defect.

I got convinced kasi about their customer service-orientedness, because they have a guarantee that the installer will not leave the house until the Cignal reception is at optimum level.  They cited instances wherein Cignal Prepaid subscribers pick up the package, or gets the package via delivery, and the installation will be half-hearted (basta lang ma-install).

Luckily, they (Dish Enterprises) also gave me a rebate (PhP20 each day I didn't get service) on my next reload.
Next time (I hope there isn't a next time anymore), I will contact Cignal directly.  Thanks for the advice. :)

beware of these type of sellers/installers

they are easy to deal with prior and after installation.
once subs encounter issues like LNB, remote and others... they have all the alibi.
worst, when this subs complain to cignal.. they will refer you to the area dealer, then you'll get charged for a service fee because your unit was installed not by their authorized installer.

for your convenience, get it direct from Cignal
the savings you get from outside sources may not be okay in the long run.

imagine if, it was installed today and the unit failed the next day and you cannot get it replaced?

Yesterday late afternoon my signal connection was erratic. Some channels were in total blackout. I tried turning the digi box on and off, plugged and unplugged to no avail. I panicked. Then I remembered my wife was doing her gardening that morning so I asked her kung me napansin sya sa disc kse walang signal. Dali dali syang lumabas at moments after me signal na. Sabi nya kasalanan nya ginawa nyang sampayan at tinambak sa harap ng disc yung mga pinutol da dahon dahon! Haaay!

Activation

Once your system is operational, the installer will call your program provider and have the unit(s) authorized. The installer will provide the program provider with the serial numbers and access card numbers of your equipment. Either you or the installer will tell the customer account representative (C.A.R) your desired programming package. At some point you will need to speak to the C.A.R yourself to verify your address and programing selection. In most cases, both DirecTV and Dish Network require you to provide your social security number in order to immediately activate your programming. Other options to avoid providing your social security number include providing a credit card number or sending money to the programming provider before your system can be activated.

If your installer tries to show you how to use the system and then calls to authorize, with the intention of leaving while you are on the phone, do not let them leave.

The installer is required to verify that all receivers have been properly activated and work properly. Only after the installer has verified all receivers are working should they proceed to showing you how to operate the system.

Info for your understanding, cignaltv activation is not like directv or dish or any local DTH.

Postpaid activation is 3-5 days, best case is 1 day after cignal activation team received all your submitted docs and forms, that would be a day after the installation since docs will be forwarded by dealer installer to cignal activation. It is the fault of dealer installer of not informing you on the process of activation.

Prepaid activation is done by TP or distributor, that is why it is faster. It takes encoding subscriber details, stb,sc,lnb and other stuff and voila. It will be activated in just 15min.

Dont get me wrong lonewolf, some un authorized dealers installers uses old "pre activated" boxes. That is the reason why they say it works even before they left, that is because it is already active and without load. What the installer does is load the amount on the said account to get it working again. To make sure you have a bnew fresh unit, your unit should be in your name and address. Worst case of this pre activated units is out of warranty units that cignal does not honor but being honored by the installer from their stock,thatis in house warranty.

unless you watch a TV for the watermark only.

Seriously, I dont think there is a law that prohibits such.

It is a safety measure for a company that invests much on the rights and satellite feed.
If they remove that and cable operators will just re-transmit the feed, how can you make transmission legal?

This card is not authorized (6) on all channels except ch78 means your account has been disconnected.
If you are on prepaid, it means you need to reload.

If this happens prior 30days of our supposed 30 day FREE load,  that means your unit indeed is a pre activated unit and you may check that with cignal hotline 02 2446251. prepare the following STB# and Smart Card #. If you dont know your cignal acct# you may inquire thru text.

send text msg CIGNAL SC SMARTCARD# INCLUDING ALL 0000 and send to 5353

@xrampage: DO NOT use splitter that can be found on Ace or local hardware. those are not designed for Satellite TV frequency. You may or will damage your LNB or STB. Cable TV splitters normally found on hardware stores are different from the satellite TV splitters.

Sat splitter costs only P575 and will not reach thousand. Your Cignal installer is overcharging your for that P2,000 charge. We use seebest and spectrum brands.

Also, cignal is now migrating to the new satellite SES-7 instead of the NSS-11 satellite.  Subs installed with a non standard LNB by their installers will have to revert back to Cignal standard supplied LNB.

a DC block is literally a DC Voltage Blockage device to prevent the STB to supply the LNB  device on your dish, it is used for multiple boxes only. on satellite, only one box is required to power the LNB, on cable system. I believe it is used also same way but not to provide power to the other boxes but to limit the power coming out of the digiboxes.

Ahhh. Now that's why the other tv won't have channels available if the primary one isn't plugged

Lord of The Rings weekend at HBO HD guys..
Last night, it was The Fellowship of the Ring.
Tonight (it's still on), The Two Towers.
Tomorrow is most likely The Return of the King.

Can't wait for The Hobbit to be shown in the cinemas!

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Jul 05, 2012 at 05:35 PM
@ert: you may put more than 3 STB on a single dish, the 3 maximum you are referring is the number of STB per account. you are allowed to avail up to 3 boxes per account but you may get more than one account per residence. like big mansion houses. Cignal will utilize 8 way dc power pass splitter for all the STB by using only a single dish.

@roygbiv: HDMI on HD Plan590 and above.

Unfortunately UFC broadcasting rights in the Philippines is owned by Balls Channels/ABS-CBN, so Fox Movies Premium is blocked by all providers during UFC fights. This really sucks for UFC fans, as Balls channel only shows UFC in SD and 30mins delayed.

thanks for the confirmation. hopefully up to this year na lang contract ng BALLS. Kaya lang if in case open na sa Fox Movies Premium baka maging individual rate na katulad ng NBA Premium. Naka lock in pa kasi ako until Mar2013 bago makalipat sa ibang provider.

Does anybody know the remote code for Pace HD STB? available in plan 990.. I want to control my Cignal Sat receiver with my Onkyo remote.. I had tried almost every remote code provided in the manual but still can't control it..

And IMO, The Cignal watermarked are too intrusive.. They should at least make it almost invisible if they don't want to remove it. Just like ABC or CBS in the US, it appears like an emboss.. And they should remove it altogether in Fashion Tv channel because FTV sometimes transmits 3D sbs, and if you want to watch it in 3D, the watermarked gets in the way..

Afaik

AbsCBN owned channels are like that, because they dont give Cignal a direct satellite feed for their program.
Same thing they do on channel 7 feed on sky cable owned areas. They make it appear weak, even if GmA7 has the strongest reception.

Give cignal a direct feed, and cignal will just beam it on their satellite.
What cignal does is they digitize the antenna feed in the uplink.
They dont give it a direct feed, else, sky subs will transfer to cignal.

If I may answer the question directed @ pentium4,
I think Cignal started upgrading their STB 1st week of July and I don't know if they stop upgrading now. You can check the SW version by entering SETTINGS, (default pin 0000), System Setup, Diagnostics, and check the Receiver SW Version. mine is 1.0.5.001 Jul 09 2012...

I'm on plan 990, Pace STB..

I still could not contemplate why Cignal did not increase the number of HD channels for prepaid 590 and postpaid 990 considering that GSAT had 8 HD channels for a php 300/month subscription..

Since some of you also noticed the improvements in video broadcast I'd like to think that it's true and i'm not just imagining things. :-)

But I've no problem with the video before, what i don't like much is the audio.  Pag surround, usually pag movies sa hbo hd o fox premium (dati star movies hd),  sound channel is off... lumalabas sa surround speaker minsan sa front speakers yung dialog, parang stereo lang na naka split lang sa 5 channels.

I tested it again today and it's the same.  But... U2 - From the sky down @ fox movies premium, the surround sound is spot on.  All other surround sound from other channels is off.  So could it be that the source provider (hbo, starworld, etc) is at fault here and not signal?

Pag na resolve tong surround sound issue I will be happier (kasi happy na naman ako ngayon e :-))

-----------------------------
Update: it seems that fox movies premium, nat geo hd, discovery hd are all broadcasting in true 5.1 surround. Again, last time i check... Its not

it is plainly the channel provider whois respobsible for that.


cignaltv is only the medium of transmission.
since their system is capable to deliver HD content with 5.1 audio.

what they receive from channel provider, they will just transmit to us subscribers.
and you're right fox premium and other hd channels are now okay.

good thing about fox premium is that they display on the particular movie if it is 5.1 broadcast or not.
kudos to fox premium

Latest SW rev should be 1.0.5

@columbia: gsat with hd channels is P700 per month and not P300
on plan 990 you also have 8 HD channels and more usable SD channels.

@pentium4:

according to Gsat's website, http://gsat.asia/sites/package, they had a uniform subscription of 300/month but differs highly on installation fee. @ 7,500 for the HD IRD against 4,500 for SD IRD,.. One of the reasons (if not foremost) that I'm hesitant in subscribing to their services is they don't really have a franchise in Congress. As for Cignal, if they offer ala carte subscription, I could trade 15 SD channel for just 3 additional HD channel in plan 990...

Mine didn't continue with it's update (PACE STB) because the problem stop.. maybe because na cut off na ang update..
but like nung sinasabi nang iba na di na siya nwawala kahit na malakas na ang ulan at makapal ang ulap is na e experience ko rin which means kahit na di mag update STB mo automatic parin siyang malilipat sa new satellite?  ;)

we do have the upgrade bin file and upgrade can be done thru USB port on your STB but this upgrade should be done by your local dealer/installer.

I have not tried the combination pressing of console buttons if it will work for upgrade.

@columbia: the website is one way of deceiving potential subs, you will just complain only after it was installed. add into that that they regularly change channels without notification, say every 3 months or 6 months.

That is bad, but not all cignal dealers are like that. We value after sales, that will make our business grow.

Cignal dish is 75cm diameter
Condo unit will need to have approval from developer or condo owner.
Most condo are already pre wired for cable.
It is the condo developer option to change to satellite tv broadcast.

I don't want skycable provider, and it is unfortunate that they acquired Destiny (which is our current provider).
And I think Cignal is cheaper w HD channels compared to Skycable I think.

This is not really Cignal's fault.  They use KU-band and this frequency is susceptible to rain fade (Dream and G-Sat also use KU).

C-band is less susceptible to rain fade, pero they require bigger dishes (1.2m-3m).

Both KU and C bands have their pros and cons.

slightly OT: I was looking for HD transmission of different "tv stations" when I come across NHK world and BBC World News in clear, unencrypted, free-to-air HD.

IMHO

1. Only NHK world is the legal broadcast allowed in Pinas, it even took time to acquire and be part of cignal channel lineup. Most cable provider includes channels that are illegaly acquired and re transmit them that includes nhk 1

2. Even if they can include those nhk and bbc HD channels, it will take more bandwidth and additional transponder resulting to higher cost and will be passedon to the subscribers. They need to weigh the channel availability and the need of the subscribers.

Just today, after 5 minutes or less being switched-on it suddenly lost its signal, as in wala lahat yong channels. Applying the hard reset and card reset, it again has a signal (strength=60, quality=75, level=163, BER=23.0, E=-7), but after 5 minutes or less, wala na naman.

The other STB has no problem, so sinubukan namin pagpalitin ng location, pero ganon pa rin...Is there anyone here please experiencing the same predicament?

did your installer put a DC block on one of your STB?
if they did not, make sure your LNB Powering is OFF on one of the STB (secondary)
Primary STB should be always on standby if you will use both STB.

Good day po Sir P4,

Checked the LNB Powering, naka-OFF naman po yong isang STB. Actually po yong naka-off yong nagloloko and yong isang STB (primary) na ok ay naka-ON. And the primary STB is always on standby.

Reported this to Cignal Care and they said the meron technician na titingin o tatawag within 48 hrs.

Anyway, is there any other possibilities that caused this problem?

Hindi kaya deffective talaga yong STB? It's a PACE DS830NPT.

Salamat po..

you may check the coax connector on that faulty unit
it might be single strand of wire shorting connection with core solid copper cable.
it could be on your STB side or on the splitter side.

if all connections are okay, you may also check the LNB IN socket for any irregularity.
it might be due to improper crimping of F-connectors as well.

if all else fails, it could be the box
you may want to try to swap the boxes.
if the faulty box is still faulty on the other coax connection, then you have a defective box that is subject for replacement.

Dear Sir P4,

Sinubukan na po namin pagpalitin yong STB. same pa rin po yong nangyayari. It means ok po yong pagkakagawa ng connectors?

Na observed po namin recently na pag nililipat yong primary STB sa channels 25, 26, 29, 31, 33, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 45, 46, 47, 48, 51, 52, 53, 59, 63, 64, 66, 67, 90, 91, 96, 97, 98, 100, 102, 104, 105, 106, 107 and 110 doon po nawawala ang signal doon sa isang STB.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Yes, the malfunctionning STB was transferred and it was still experiencing the same problem/error.

Not until I browse on your previous comments-suggestions regarding the STB setting for PACE Top Box as per the transfer to the new satellite SES7 specifically on the LNB Type that it should be changed from Dual Band to Single Band with the Low Band LO frequency of 09750.

We found out kasi na naka Dual Band yong primary STB and naka Single Band na yong secondary STB (yong problematic).

So far parang ok na sya. Nalilipat na nang channels yong primary STB without losing signal sa secondary STB. Is it really the problem?

Thank you very much po.

I guess it has something to do with the LNB powering.. You don't turn off the STB that powers the lnb..

Maybe its the LNB power, set both boxes to power your LNB, that way you can turn off the other box when watching in another room.

I don't know kung ako lang ang naka notice, pero na degrade yata ang picture quality ng halos lahat ng channel after they added Australia Network and Colours HD. In particular, ABS-CBN, Studio 23, Cinemax, NatGeo Wild, PTV, GMA, BTV, Solar Sports, FOX Filipino, Discovery, ESPN, AXN.

Cignal's claim that they have the best signal quality is a lie. Sky Cable's digital service has far more better picture quality esp for free to air channels. I've seen Sky on bigger TVs at 55 inches and malinaw pa din. Hindi blurred ang image. Sa Cignal, 32 inch na LED TV, you can barely read yung "parental guidance" kasi blurred na yung image.

If i can ony have a choice dito sa amin, I would definitley switch to Sky Cable. Too bad, I dont since wala naman linya ng cable tv sa village namin.

I had Cignal HD installed recently, but I also maintained my SkyCable subscription - to test which to keep. For me, it's the PQ of locally maintained channels (esp. ABS-CBN, Studio 23, GMA, BTV, etc.) aired by Cignal which is poor compared to SkyCable's - even bordering on blurred. But I read somewhere on this thread that it's because there's no direct feed from these channels to Cignal, so Cignal can't air it as clearly as they want to?

@Talkingdongkey, has Cignal replied to your complaint? If so, what was their explanation?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Sep 21, 2012 at 04:19 PM
for you to understand this issue of malabong channel 2 and 23 specifically sa CignalTV

have you seen the ticker on the bottom part of your screen on 24 Oras Channel 7?
"If you experience poor reception on this channel, call tel#xxxxx"

It is because even with a regular aerial antenna, a channel 7 feed is the clearest there is.
How come when it gets broadcast thru competing network, ay lumalabo?

they intentionally introduce noise to the particular channel freq.

in Cignal case, they dont have access to direct satellite feed of channel 2 and 23
they end up upconverting, cleaning, the analog antenna feed. correcting everytime a "noise" is intrduced.
why not use the ISDB-T box of ABS-CBN? they cannot because it is illegal to re broadcast such.

They can always sit down with ABS-CBN to address these access to direct feed problems. Though I figure it will cost Cignal big money on royalties and such. But then, we the subscribers deserve to have the clearest picture quality available since 1590 a month is not exactly cheap

BTW, Cignal is also in violation of NTC memorandum circular no. 4-08-88, which mandates providers such as Cignal to carry all Free To Air channels. Presently they lack the following:

BEAM/Jack TV 31
Light TV 33
UNTV 37
BEAM 31
SMNI 39
Hope Channel 45 and
GEM TV 49

I 'm hoping we at least get Channels 31, 33 and 37.

I already pointed out this fact to their customer care as well.

I am also hoping that Cignal would have a better channel mix. They presently lack music channels. MTV Live HD is not enough. They should have at least MTV Southeast Asia and Channel [V].

They also lack those religious channels, like TBN and JCTV.

I hope they will invest more on satellite transponders so they can add more of these channels in the immediate future so that their channel lineup can be at par with what Sky offers.

whatever, that was the reply I got from them. this is the exact reply that I got from them.

Quote
"Cable systems in the Philippines still use analag technology. This means that the quality of the channels get compromised as the number of subscribers increase. As we grow and serve more customers, we are still dedicated to maintain and improve the quality of channels we offer"

I thought to my self, aren't they saying that they are DIGITAL?

I have a hunch for the reason behind the decrease in picture quality for the channels that I mentioned earlier. My hunch is that they are trying to fit in too many channels in one transponder that is why the picture quality gets compromised.

anyway, some of the channels I mentioned earlier are back to their picture quality before. my only complain now is for ABS-CBN, PTV, Studio 23, BTV and Solar Sports.

who will want to subscribe with Sky?

When I bought my LED tv 2 years ago, I was thinking it does no good if your cable had no HD. So I bought a Cignal stb prepaid 590 to test the HD capability on my tv. I like what I saw but with only 3 HD channels(Starworld, NBA, GEM tv), it seems that something is lacking. And I subscribe again with 990 subscription cause History HD is in that category. The day that my 2nd stb was installed, History HD was scrapped by Cignal in lieu of other HD channels. And they did not had advance notice on their subscribers about the channel changes.

@ pentium, you cannot compare Cignal with Skycable. They had different " subscribers". Cignal subscribers that are located in the provinces most likely avail of Cignal just for their HD channels. Or else they might opt for Dream sat.

The nearest cable tv (from my location) that offers HD subscription is Parasat, which is located 90 kms away. In fact, if my memory serves me right, they are the 1st cable tv that goes digital..

Cignal should offer ala carte subscription. like all HD subscription. I really don't care much about their SD channels cause most of them are free to air anyway and we had a local cable here that carries most of those channels for 300/month.( and they offer it free cause they rented at our place where large dish occupies)..
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Columbia on Sep 23, 2012 at 07:59 AM
And if you notice on your Cignal channels, only TV5 had no Cignal watermark. They were "free riding". TV5 gives away Cignal receiver to small cable tv that does not carry TV5 with no load expiration but channel-locked to TV5 and Aksyon tv..

SkyCable hasn't raised the service charge of Destiny Cable TV and Internet YET and SkyCable do not as what you posted, "intentionally introduce noise to the particular channel freq" of GMA-7.

In fact, SkyCable was able to obtain a very clear signal, clearer than the aerial feed of GMA-7.
If you think about competition, how come Cignal cannot obtain the same clear signal of GMA-7 that SkyCable has.

Again, mr. Pentium4, we know that you are a dealer of Cignal but badmouthing the competition as a way of supporting your product, definitely sucks and reflects what character you have.

Oh and btw, its not a yet a monopoly because there's still Cablelink, Cignal, Dream and G-SAT.

Did I mention any brand on my quote of Son of Kratos?
Did I ? I was agreeing to his post because like what is happening in our area, Digitel is going out and PLDT is coming in. they will discontinue our existing lines and change to PLDT at a higher rate.

I believe in the advantages a product can offer, and you don't need to bad mouth a competing product just to sell them.

tell me, is Cignal TV and Sky Cable a competing product?
The answer is simply NO
Your competitor are Provincial Cable company while our competitor is GSat and Dream.
Ba't ba apektado ka masyado? magkaiba naman ang produkto ng dalawa.

What we are complaining here are the services of both party or any provider.
I don't care if I am a Dealer here or a Distributor or even an Owner of Cignal.

I am far away from guilty, napansin ka na nun sa SkyCable HD thread and you kept doing it on this thread.

Try to prove these posts of yours:

1. they intentionally introduce noise to the particular channel freq

2. they buyout the old one and introduce their services at a higher price than what you have before

The post of SonOfKratos is about Cable TV and Internet, cable tv provider ba ang PLDT at Digitel. It is obvious you are insinuating its Sky since you said monopoly sucks. Come on, a lot of people are also saying Sky is a monopoly.

If SkyCable is not a competitor then why does the product your selling show ads saying Cable TV "ay hindi-digital."

Both are Pay-TV companies so they still compete for the market share of those who want to avail of simply put, paid TV services. The difference is the delivery of the service.

If truth really hurts, why say negative things about the competitor and you said "I believe in the advantages a product can offer, and you don't need to bad mouth a competing product just to sell them. "

You just did bad mouth Sky a dozen times, geez, do you even know what you're posting. If Sky is not a competitor what's up with the baseless statements.

Todo reklamo na mga subs ng Cignal sa signal clarity ng local channels pero Todo tanggol ka and yet you cant give an exact explanation why Sky has clearer local channels which Cignal can't provide.

What ticks me off is you keep on posting baseless opinions just to market the product that you're selling which is clearly a sabotage.

And BTW, I only accept the truth and that is SkyCable has clearer, local channels than Cignal, I guess you cannot accept that.

Try to post helpful statements to Cignal subscribers instead of posting negative, baseless statments towards any other pay-tv provider, particularly Sky.

PVR coming soon

i believe they prioritize getting the new transponder and mpeg4 than the PVR.

New transpoder? so new transpoder means additional channels right?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Talkingdongkey on Oct 08, 2012 at 01:03 PM
If my understanding is correct, a transponder can have around 9 SD channels depending on the desired picture quality. The more channels you try to fit in to a transpoder, the lesser the picture quality. So, if Cignal is negotiating for a new transponder, it may mean additional channels or, if not, to free up space on the other transponders to improve picture quality.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Oct 08, 2012 at 03:22 PM
@talkingdongkey: yes, a transponder means more channels. it could be 8 SD channels or 4 HD channels. but with mpeg4 compression. you may put more channels without sacrificing the channel quality.

mpeg4 compression can add more channels without the need to get another transponder.
also, if they will lease a new transponder... it will be for HD.

software upgrade is to fully migrate to the new satellite SES-7 coming from NSS11

Sir pentium4, just to clarify your posts on the SW upgrade:

For subscribers with just one box like me, I understand that the upgrade will be automatic since by default, LNB Powering mode is set to ON. But we don't get the Pacquiao-Marquez PPV for free - only subscribers with 2 or more boxes get it for free because, per the reason given on the Cignal TV FAQ page, "they need to follow additional steps in updating the software". Just because of that, it's free for those subscribers? I don't get it.

Exactly.. that's kinda unfair for the other subscribers who only have a single unit.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Oct 15, 2012 at 07:22 AM
looks like it is the case for the multiple boxes.
that is because they will send a 3rd party contractor if they fail to upgrade their boxes.
letting the subscribers upgrade themselves and giving free PPV rather than sending a personnel will be cheaper.

single box subscribers will have OTA upgrade automatically by the system on the said dates.

as for the PPV: PPV in HD format direct from source, PPV in SD format is from Solar.

Post by: Servus on Oct 18, 2012 at 05:19 PM
akala ko naman nag-improve na ang customer service ng cignal, sablay pa rin pala. nag-apply ako ng 2nd box last saturday evening sa hotline nila and emailed the filled up application on the same day. nagulat ako kasi monday morning tinawagan ako ng installer at install na raw nila after lunch. then nainstall nga around 2pm.

next day i called cignal hotline for the activation, ang sabi sa akin di pa raw napapadala nong installer yong mga needed docs at ang activation period daw is 24-48hours. i called the installer and immediately they sent the required docs. then few hours later i called cignal again and they confirmed that they got it and just reviewing it.

after the 48 hours waiting period di pa rin activated but this time may karapatan na ako magdemand. so i called cignal hotline and asked what happened. eto na yong mga palusot na under process pa raw at may conflict sa docs na pinadala ng installer. tinwagan ko ulit ang installer and they confirmed na wala na raw problem sa side nila. since alam kong wala akong mapapala sa kausap ko sa cignal, i asked for escalation and talk to his supervisor. this is what i normally do if i want to get result immediately kahit sa pldt or smart. after talking to the supervisor and got his assurance na he will handle my case, umalis ako ng bahay for 3 hours then pagbalik ko activated na.

sayang ang effort ng territory partners nila in improving their service kasi in the end, isasablay rin lang ng head office. unsatisfied customer pa rin ang result.

eto na ang matindi. when i started watching napansin ko di gumagana yong volume +, - and mute ng remote. pag press mo green ang ilaw (instead na orange, i have pace hd stb). so tumawag ulit ako sa hotline. after almost an hour of troubleshooting/reprogramming (entering some codes) the remote, ganon pa rin. so the guy decided na we need replacement but i need to pay kasi raw walang warranty yong remote control. :o  galing! parang scammer lang. i explained to him na barya lang yong price ng remote pero pag binayaran ko yon magmumukha akong tanga, so prinsipyo ang usapan dito. pero no use he keep insisting their policy na no warranty ang remote.

again wala na naman akong mapapala so i ended up asking for his supervisor again. konting paliwanagan then assurance na he will handle it himself and will call me back. after less than an hour he called me back telling a replacement remote control will be delivered at no extra cost.

i am just sharing it maybe it will help you later in getting result asap with cignal on the resolution of your case.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: kenyat1081 on Oct 18, 2012 at 09:03 PM
Sir Pentium

I have a query with regards to Cignal's policy.

I originally signed up with Cignal's Plan 1290. But changes in me and my wife's profession, we now are not able to maximize utilization of their service since our household now only gets to watch TV about 2 times in a week.

A called up the hotline to request for a downgrade to Plan 590 since I can't do a pretermination because it would be too costly. So upon request, the customer service rep processed the request after long persistence on telling me just to finish the 24 mos contract before downgrading the plan (kahit na sinabi ko nga na di namin namamaximize yung service >:( ) but told me that its still pending approval.

After a couple of hours, I received a sms message from Cignal that my request was denied and that I have to finish the lock in period before I can apply for a downgrade despite willingness to pay the downgrade fee.

I was not resolved with the idea of them forcing their client with what would benefit themselves and disregard the concern of their clients.

Last 10/08 I decided to send Cignal an email again questioning their decision, with DTI copy furnished. I immediately got a call from Cignal rep but unfortunately the line was crappy so i asked the rep to just email me.

This was the response I got:

Thank you for taking our call.

We want to discuss to you that we will seek approval of your downgrade request but what we can offer you is one plan lower which 990.

Once granted, your monthly subscription will be P990 and one time charge of P1,000 for the downgrade fee on will reflect on the next bill.

Kindly keep your service request number for your reference: .
 
We will wait for your response if you’d agree with this option.

Sincerely yours,

Cignal Care
 
 


Again, I was being forced to just downgrade to 990 instead of 590 which i was requesting. Also, the downgrade fee as per my first call was 1500 contrary to the reps email which is 1000. Such inconsistency.

I replied back to reiterate my request was 590 and not 990 and never got a response from them again.

Is this really the way Cignal respond to their clients? By the way sir, I am located in Imus nga pala.

Thanks

@kenyat: I dont work for Cignal but I can provide input based on previous account.

You will not be able to downgrade while still in lock-in period.
pre termination is costly based on the amount on the agreement form.

all other service /utility company does not take into account the non usage of their service by the subscriber on whatever their circumstances (like not being used due to factors out of the service providers control) their agreement is for them to provide the service regardless if the subscriber use it or not.

downgrading one plan lower is I believe the option they offered, but this is not a norm as well. This is the 1st time I learned of such.
you might bargain for a lower plan 590 but they might extend your lock-in period to compensate the monthly plan to the length of lock-in period.

in the end, it is your choice based on options available.

btw i encountered a little problem on my 2nd box after update. hindi tama ang time pero wala namang problem sa mga programs. yong main box ko naman ok. i checked both box and found out na ang transponder nong 2nd box is SES7-NE4 while yong main is SES7-NE8. after changing the 2nd box to NE8 ok na ang time.

Brod, when the boot word appears just press "power" + "ch+" buttons at the same time then let go, it should proceed to auto update.

wait for at least a minute before you plug in back the power in order for it to make the complete boot sequence.

it takes a good timing on this unit, try the alternate or same time press.

my main pace STB is already upgraded. having problems upgrading the second box.

what i did is to disconnect the plug of the main.
turn the secondary unit's LNB Powering to "ON"
disconnect the voltage regulator of the secondary unit.
reboot.
turn off (but still plugged in)
iniwan ko na overnight still no update.
also tried rebooting with the Power and CH+ alternate press while booting, ayaw pa rin. :(

Currently, yung main PACE box palang ang na upgrade to 106. I have 3 box. Pano ko ba update yung iba? Should i unplug my 3rd box to upgrade my 2nd box (vice-versa)? Dapat naka-on lang yung main box right?

do a factory reset of your box
press ch+ and ch- at the same time while unit is ON, follow instruction, just press OK until it tells you to reboot.

for those with multiple boxes and only main box was updated.

1. turn off main unit, unplug
2. on your 2nd box, remove the dc block connect coax direct to box.
3. turn LNB powering ON with single band for Pace.
4. make sure you have at least channel 3 (WIN) working
5. power off, unplug and reconnect after 3 minutes
6. follow the manual upgrade procedure. press power and ch+ alternately during BOOT display
7. once upgrade is finished, verify upgrade SW.
8. once successful unplug unit, return back dc block.

do the same on the 3rd box

There is no solution to this unless you get a bigger dish.  All satellite based have this kind of problem when heavy clouds are hovering.

sa akin kahit malakas ang ulan o kahit bumabagyo di basta basta nawawala. kung clear sky at mababa pa rin ang signal level, try to contact cignal to have your dish realigned. a line amplifier will help also.

that's exactly the procedure of cignal na downloadable sa website nila. ang definition kasi ng main box is the one powering the lnb. to summarize cignal procedure, ginagawa mong main box yong every stb at a time. and the best way to do it is just leave only the box for update (which is your current main box) plugged and the other boxes unplugged.

There's this ticker currently running on CignalTV which says we need to leave the STBs on standby mode for 30 minutes to "ensure continued service". How will we know if we've complied, i.e., what changes under System Setup (if any) are we supposed to see? Tried to check the CignalTV website for additional info but I didn't see anything. Thanks.

gaano pa po kaya katagal? oo nga po eh, kapag sa FOX HD kasi eh iba ang palabas... pero naka commercial sya at naka advertise lagi kapag may laban sa UFC.

Thanks sa reply sir! :D

no way po talaga pumayag si cignal na maging 4 boxes ang isang postpaid kahit cash yung units?

1 Account = 3 Boxes lang po.. for the 4th Box, aaply po kayo ng new account again..

Nagreply ang cignal gamit ang twitter account nila tapos, ask sila if ano account number ko then i gave it then after a while nag message sila na within 72 hours daw maactivate then pagbukas ko kaninang umaga OK na ang ppv.

saan po area nio? paki-PM po sa aqn :) Installation depende po kung saan kayo mag-aaply if sa Hotline, matagal po tlga, if sa mga SUB TP, saglit lang, kc gusto nila makaquota.... :) and kung complete requirements, mas lalong mas mabilis.. kaya po kc tumatagal installation ng iba,, dahil kulang mga requirements.. after installation is activation, which takes within 24-48 hours, kc papasa pa ng installer sa distributor, then distributor to Main office(Activation Team)..

or you can apply for PREPAID, 3 hours lang activated na.. i hope that answers your question.. :) God bless!

PPV activation promo until Sunday only, come Monday it will be P550


for those who emailed for multiple boxes free ppv promo; you'll get this email:

Sa local partners po kayo mag apply kasi fill up kau agad ng application form at bibigay mo ang requirements.

they are not local partners, they are retail partners

retail partners accept application, they forward to cignal head office, cignal office in turn process it, then forwards it to the territory partner in your area. territory partner calls subs for installation then activation.

thus, the fastest is contacting your local area partner.
however, there's a lot of fly by night installers in any area. and as a caution. Subscribe at your own risk!
DO NOT be fooled by lower pricing... specially those in Sulit. BE aware!
you will end up paying more, no warranty, no after sales, no support.

go direct to cignal website, retail partners or territory partners.

Plan990 is not part of free install promo
only Plan 1290 and Plan1590 are free install and it is Manila area only.

Plan990 has one time deposit

if you have smart or sun postpaid plans, you can get P1,000 installation discount on any HD plan.

Post by: pentium4 on Nov 27, 2012 at 10:39 PM
No, they use different frequency
With the nes satellite strength you will not need an amplifier.
Well, even with the old one. If you had signal problem on the previous, then there is something wrong with the way it was installed.
It could be cabling, connection and splitter.

possible, but why not just connect your audio from your LCD AUDIO OUT
In that way HDMI pa rin AV mo but for external audio amplification, you use the LCD sounds instead.

pero i think the "lag" that you meant is called "ghosting" hindi po yan caused by cignal, it has something to do with the "refresh rate" of your tv/led/monitor.. 

i play games kaya medyo familiar saken yan but hindi ko lang alam yung exact technicalities and explanation...

this is to my understanding lang.. sa monitor kasi we gamers prefer 5ms to 2ms (shorter ms the better).. sa tv/led yata 60 to 120mhz (the higher mhz the better).. this all depends on the brand/model/features of your TV..

i have a 40" samsung LED (as per google and reviews motion rate: 100mhz, as per samsung: 120mhz) my bro watches nba premium hd a lot and we haven't seen any ghosting there and even on fast moving scenes even on playing xbox.. so far walang "lag" or ghosting that we noticed..

so in the end, it all boils down to the specs of your tv.. double check mo yung specs/features ng tv mo.. normally kakayanin yan especially if it is above 60mhz refresh rate..

My tv is a Devant LED 39ML500 and based on the specs, it has a 60hz vivid motion rate. Will this suffice if ever I go with NBA premium tv HD? Thanks!

Post by: trigo on Dec 11, 2012 at 08:59 AM
Update on my Cignal HD problem.  I have a splitter (from cignal) and feeds to 2 humax.  I was earlier complaining on some channels that have no signal or on/off signal.  I switched them and the problem stayed transferred.  Could i have a buggy splitter?

When i check the signal meters, for some HD channel (cnn, ftv, outdoor and ppv), the signal strength and quality drops to zero on these channels but goes back to regular strength and quality on other HD channels.

Any idea gurus?

@trigo: better check your cabling and splitter. I assume you have straight coax connection from your humax to the splitter.  it is most likely cabling issue, second would be the splitter.

The connection from dish to splitter is straight.  Coax to 1st box is straight, 2nd box is semi-straight.  It has a connector before but we redid it and directly coupled it until the box.  I am just wondering why the new HD channels are the ones always affected by the zero signal/quality on the 2nd box.

Sir, wala bang ESPN HD sa Plan 990? Based on the online promo materials on Cignal TV's website, Plan 790 HD has it, along with the following HD channels:

Star World HD, Colours HD, Outdoors HD, NBA Premium HD, HBO HD, Fashion TV HD, CNN HD, ESPN HD, History HD, NatGeo Adventure HD

Mukang okay 'tong new Plan 790HD.

Sir pentium 4,

If you're a current postpaid subscriber and will upgrade to Plan 790HD, I assume that the lock-in period for the upgrade will follow the period for the existing plan, or will it be a fresh lock-in period? TIA.

hi boss pentium4,

I'm happy with the additional SD/HD channels but please clarify why ESPN HD is not available for Plan 990 when they are advertising it as part of the "13 HD Channels" for Plan 990. Then now they're saying that it's part of Plan 790? It doesn't make sense.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

and since ESPNHD is part of it, all HD channels are carried over to the higher plan.

History HD? PQ is much like SD.. it seems like Cignal sourced it from 16:9 History Channel and re-transmitted it as HD. The only HD I notice on ch. 109 is the Cignal watermark. Try to compare ch. 86 and ch. 109....

c'mon guys...

give it a week or two, channels were just activated last night and needs tweaking.
new transponder means new adjustments from channel allocation, to channel quality.

be patient and we are thankful for the new additional channel to the lineup.

new channel plan 790 now also available.

Ano po pagkakaiba nito?
No.1
(http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b576/pdverdeflor/HistorySD_zps027a033a.png)
No.2
(http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b576/pdverdeflor/HistoryHD_zps891939a5.png)

Sa ngayon po kasi, yung No.1 ang nakikita ko sa Cignal HD Channel (History HD daw) as advertised.

actually aside from History HD, I also like Discovery Channel (Mythbusters fan here) kaya nakaka-tempt magpa-upgrade.. nakaka-1 month pa nga lang ako sa plan 590HD eh, so 2nd free month pa lang ako ngayon..

question sa mga naka-subscribe na, is History really on HD or upscaled SD lang? Mas panalo kasing manuod lalo na nang Pawn Stars kung HD

As of this writing, the PQ of History Channel is the same as Al-Jazerra, E Channel and BeTv. Those channels are transmitted as SD but with 16:9 format. Unlike Nat Geo Adventure HD where you can instantly notice the PQ, History Channel did not even come close to 720p.. No amount of tweaking can change the PQ unless Cignal source it from HD transmission. And as Patrick001 pointed out, no "HD" letters is present in the History Channel logo..

History HD is not yet in HD form

I believe, they were granted the broadcast rights already but they currently have the SD version to start with. they will move with the HD format once available.

o Is there a service charge involved when I request for one of my STBs to be replaced because it is already malfunctioning (hangs, suddenly powers off, wrong date so there's no schedule appearing in the guide)?

Hi sir pentium4,

o How long is the warranty of the STB? Cash purchased standard warranty is 6 months
o Is there a service charge involved when I request for one of my STBs to be replaced because it is already malfunctioning (hangs, suddenly powers off, wrong date so there's no schedule appearing in the guide)?  if it is defective and under lease, it will just be replaced no fee except for delivery/service fee for more than 6 months account.

I emailed Cignal's costumer service yesterday, inquiring if channel 109 is really an HD channel, not an upscaled SD in 16:9 format. Their response was:

"Yes, History channel is indeed HD.

 What about the resolution settings?

 Feel free to let us know if there is anything else that needs clarification.

 Sincerely yours,

 

Glaisa _____     "


So I watch History channel again, trying to observe something. Then I notice that " Pawn Stars" will be "simulcast" in History and History HD..

I assume Miss Glaisa did not know about it..

Well I read somewhere here that History HD is just an upscaled SD for now.. and that Cignal will finally switch to HD once its available.

humax is good, but it is bulky
pace is okay, remote sucks prior to the latest release

Before the inclusion of the 10 new channels, only Fox Movies premium was on Dolby 5.1. it was the only channel in Cignal that has 5.1 audio. But the last time I checked(just about last week) FOX movies premium no lnger have the 5.1 audio. The other HD channels are also not in 5.1 and HBO HD audio simply sucked.

Sir P4/Cignal Agent, ano po way. Kasi I am a 590 subscriber then I want to go 790 and add 1 extra box. whats the best option? Kasi if you subscribe to postpaid790 yung box ay free. Then pwede bang magsubscribe ako ng bagong 790 tapos yung 590 prepaid ko ay gamiting extension pra hindi na ako magbabayad ng 230 for lease or 5K++ para sa box??? Kasi para dehado ako if I converted my 590 to 790 kc 5590 bili ko sa box...Thanks in Advance...

just upgrade to 790 and get add box for 230 per month.
your monthly will be 790 + 230

unlike for new subscription, monthly fee is P890 (P790+P100 box lease fee)

you are better off with the postpaid conversion with add box

nagregister lang ako para ishare ang experience ko thru CignalTV.

so kahapon January, 8 2013 nung nagpunta kami sa booth ng Cignal dito samin sa may caloocan para mag apply ng PLAN 790.
maayos naman sila kausap. sabi nga pwede na daw nila ikabit. sabi ko bukas nalang kasi hapon na nun.

so ngaun January, 9 2013 dumating agad ung cignal crew. nagulat ako kasi based sa ibang nababasa ko inaabot daw ng weeks bago dumating ung magkakabit ng satellite dish. so hiningan na kami ng requirements. and then kinabit na nila. around 1 - 2 hours lang inabot ang pagkakabit. so inabot lang ng 2100 pesos ang binayaran namin. kasi nag kulang ung free 15 Meters na cable wire so nagdagdag kami. bali 2055 lang talaga lahat. tip naman ung 45 pesos pang mirienda hahahahahahaha :D

so sabi nila 2-3 days lang daw ang activation lets see what happen next update ko kayo araw araw. thanks!

not recommended Sir...

the savings you get is not worth it to the security of having a full warranty on your box.
buying the kit will just give you 6 months warranty.
100 x 24 months = 2,400
plan590 kit is P2,190

I just upgraded my stock Cignal LNBF with a universal quad LNBF.
  • No need for splitters (I use a 2-way, 1-port power passing splitter)
  • No need for DC blocks
  • Saves electricity by not needing primary box on
  • Slightly stronger signals -- Signal Level from 166 to 172, 1 additional bar for Signal Quality
  • Time and schedule guide of secondary box now updated at all times
  • Can accommodate 4 independent STBs (each box will operate independently) -- all boxes now considered primary

Got it from a US seller, ended up around P2,500 landed price.

Meron mga eBay seller na HK based (about half that price).  You can try them out, and have them directly sent here.  Yung iba nga lang, do not have shipping to Philippines.  If you do US purchases, you can probably course it through JAC.

If you check Sulit, it might be worth asking the seller johndingphil.  He imports all sorts of satellite related items.

The brand I got is WS International, a fairly reliable brand.  Exact specs as stock Cignal LNB, universal KU.  Chaparral sana eh, pero hirap mag hanap and mahal if ever meron.

Available dati yung quad KU na pauxis sa Eggpa Trading, pero hard to find na nowadays.

I saw a full-page ad from Cignal today - something about Dolby 5.1 sound on HD channels. But I'm experiencing the same issue whenever I select Dolby (instead of PCM) on the Audio Settings of my STB (Pace): I don't get audio from HD channels like HBO HD or NBA Premium. I'd gladly join the email brigade to Cignal about this.
 

Just wanted to share feedback I received from Cignal when I emailed them about this Dolby problem. In the initial response which I got by email, Cignal just gave the basic troubleshooting steps (resetting the STB, etc.), which obviously did not work. Then I got a call from someone from Cignal who advised that the HD channels are supposed to work only with a PCM audio setting on the STB, and that the Dolby audio setting on the STB will work if my TV is "Dolby-ready".

I appreciate Cignal's responsiveness, but I just wanted to confirm if this is correct (in case other Cignal subscribers out there have experienced the same problem). TIA.

1. so, w/c brand of STB with lowest energy consumption on "stand by/ operation mode" for HD plan?
2. if u unplugged the unit, how long ba ang pag reboot?
3. clarification, for 2 boxes, the primary STB must be ON always to be able to watch on the 2nd box, tama ba?

-2 brand ginagamit na STB sa mga HD plans either humax or pace. as of now, pace ang ginagamit. accdg to my research lately mas matipid sa kuryente ang pace pumapalo ng 30w max. yung actual nasa 15-20 watts yan. but not so sure.

-i usually pull the plug every night before going to sleep. the reboot time mga 5-6 secs.

-yes either naka-on or standby but not shutoff primary kung ginagamit ang 2nd/3rd boxes.

Hi,

Can anyone help me on how to set this up, uhm I want to fully utilize the devices on our house.
This are what I have:
-TV (40 inch BX400 Series BRAVIA LCD TV ) (http://www.sony.co.in/product/klv-40bx400/specs)
-HT (DAV-DZ570) (http://www.sony-mea.com/product/dav-dz570/specs)
-STB (Cignal 790 hd) (PACE-HD)

What I want is to setup our HT to be able to produce the 5.1 surround sound that cignal hd offers.

My current setup is STB->hdmi->TV->RCA(audio)->HT (but this doesn't produce surround sound), I also tried switching the sound mode on my STB to dolby, but our tv is not compatible with it, it says "unsupported audio cignal"(dolby 5.1).

I called up the cignal hotline regarding this and they told me to make the HT on the middle of my setup, like this ( STB->HT->TV). the problem is my HT only has HDMI-OUT. Please help me what cables or connectors do I need to be able to get this done :)

I provided the specs of my HT and TV, for you guys to know what cables and connectors I need.

To summarize this up:

I Just need the cable and connectors for this setup:

STB ----> HT ----> TV  (SURROUND SOUND)

Also if you can recommend on where to buy this stuff, please let me know :)

Can be near Cavite or Alabang :)


Thanks a lot.

Oh BTW, I'm just a new Cignal 790HD plan subs :) hope to win one of those 77 TV. hehehe

^ I'm not an expert on these things and not sure if this helps, but I was able to make the Dolby audio setting on my Pace STB work recently by using a digital coaxial cable connection, via the digital audio out port (orange) of the Pace STB to the digital audio in port of my AVR. Presumably, your HT has a similar port for incoming digital audio signals. In effect, I just diverted the audio coming from my STB directly to my AVR to get the Dolby sound, while the video signal from the STB continues to go to my TV via the HDMI connection.

I tried doing the same setup to no avail. Walang lumabas na sounds either through the Digital Out (Orange), or yung regular Left Right Audito RCAs.

FYI guys:

New Cignal HD Postpaid Price
visit: http://cignal.tv/Postpaid.aspx
also visit their newest promo: A chance to win 32" LED TV! wow! Amazingly Real!!

Guys, pwede kayo magrefer sa akin pag may kilala kayong magpapakabit ng CignalTV. ;)
Thanks! God bless us all!
balak ko magpakabit nito, so tama ba compute ko:
initial cash out:
-790 msf in advance plus 100 monthly warranty
-one time 1k install fee
-1890 total right?

afterwards ang monthly ko is 790 + 100 = 890

magkano pala pa add ng 2nd box?

@tifosi_pao:

Yup it'll be 890 monthly. But if you apply now or until Mar. 31, 2013. You'll get 3 months free subscription. Like mine. But you'll still pay P100 for those 3 months free, because warranty fee is not included on the 3msf promo.

Regarding to your initial cashout, that will depend on the installer. If you reside from province like me (cavite), the installation fee will be different.
Heres the breakdown of my initial cashout:
-1 month advance : 790
-1 month warranty fee: 100
- Installation fee: 1500
- fee for extra cable(kinulang kasi ung 15mtrs na free): 50
-total initial cashout: P2440

And lastly regarding sa 2nd box, Uhm I have no idea. you may want to ask sir Pentium4. I think he is a dealer of Cignal.

I think naka default settings pa ung audio mo. I haven't tried the setup po ni sir Wiggum, kasi kakakuha ko palang ng digital coax ko. But I think you missed something, your PaceHD audio settings is still on "PCM" mode, you should changed it to "Dolby 5.1".  For instruction on how to do that, you can check the manual included on the box.

The reply from digitallg10 to your post was going to be my answer. In the Settings for the Pace STB, there's an option there (under User Set-Up, IIRC) where you can switch your Audio signals from PCM (default) to Dolby. If you're using the Dolby setting, you won't get audio from the HD channels which provide Dolby sound (like NBA Premium, HBO HD) unless your Pace STB has that digital audio connection to your AVR (or as the Cignal people advised, to your TV which must be Dolby-ready).

But whether your STB audio setting is on PCM or Dolby, you're supposed to get sound from all the SD channels and the HD channels that don't provide Dolby sound (like Colours HD). If you still don't get audio from these other channels, I think the problem involves something else and you need to troubleshoot some more.

@Wiggum:

Again, I'm not an expert on these things, and I just proceeded based on sir columbia's earlier post on this thread and tried the STB-to-AVR connection via the digital coax. Fortunately, it solved an issue which I thought was related to the software update. Hope it also works for you, and I'll try to help if I can  :)

Actually, I already switched it to Dolby before wiring my Home Theater and HD Box via Digital Audio. (HD Box > Digital Audio Out > Audio Cable > Digital Audio In > Home Theater), to no avail.

I am thinking of getting the audio from my TV via TOS link. (Baka this weekend), but I'm sure that if it's possible, the TV will convert the audio to stereo which will defeat my purpose.

I have this doubt whether I am using the correct cable. I purchased this Audio Cable from ACE that looks very similar to composite RCA cable.

Can you show me the the wire that you are using?

Thank you sir for clarifying. My TV supports Dolby, what confuses me if this Digital Audio Output can produce a 5.1 audio? With Toslink, my Media Player can transmit lossless audio to my HT, and can hear 5.1 sounds. TIA.

I did have the same thing... dunno why my Receiver cannot simply extract dolby from my Humax STB.
but I wired an optical digital cable from humax to receiver and voila! it is now dolby sounds.

how come hdmi will not work?

@johnnybravoxp:

Possible reason would be a wrong audio cable( I assume this because I read alot of reviews regarding digital coax and normal RCA, they say that normal RCA can't carry the digital signal cause of low bandwith).Digital Coax is same as the normal composite RCA cable, but with much thicker wires. I bought mine on Electronic Boutique, it cost only P299. But I haven't tried it yet as I'm still on work(weekly ako nauwi ^^).

goodluck :)

@digitallg: for now it is only used for servicing

once they offer the STB with DVR functionality, it will be a new box.
the remote control has plenty of buttons un-used. because it is a multi function remote.
it can be programmed for other AV equipments.

@Wiggum:

Sir got the connections working(STB>(HDMI)>TV and STB>(digital coax(audio))>HT), I'm setting up my speakers position to optimize the surround sound. But I have a problem with my TV. There is this notification on the screen saying "Unsupported audio signal..." and it is so annoying because it is blocking the lower right side of the display, sometimes when I'm watching NBA I can't see the scoreboard cause the notication is blocking it, also there is no option on the settings to clear it out( that notification is caused by the HDMI connection from STB to TV, my TV does not support dolby that's why it has that notifcation).

Now I have the solution to change my current setup of connections.

Current setup (with annoying notification):
STB>HDMI>TV (for video)
STB>digital coax>HT(for audio)

Now my planned setup:
STB>COMPONENT Cable>TV(for video)
STB>digital coax>HT(for audio)

My question is does the COMPONENT cable can output the same picture quality of the HDMI?

Thanks in advance. My question is not only for Wiggum :) hope you guys answer my post :)

http://www.pcworld.com/article/221109/hdmi_vs_comp.html (http://www.pcworld.com/article/221109/hdmi_vs_comp.html)

You can google several other articles which provide the same answer.

Looks like your component video connection should be sufficient, considering the quality of the video signals coming from the STB. I understand that even the HD channels on Cignal are delivered at 720p resolution at best which, based on the articles, can be transmitted perfectly using a component video connection.

I am having problems with Cignal's Dolby Signals,

I switch my audio signal from PCM to Dolby 5.1. My audio is connected to my Amplifier via digital co-axial cable. The problem is that in a true Dolby Digital and/or DTS audio, the audio dialogue should be concentrated on the center speakers. And, this was the case for Fox Movies before Cignal announced their Dolby Digital Audio. in other words, prior to their Dolby announcement, Fox Movies broadcast is already in Dobly. But, for the rest of the HD channels back then, it was not and the dialogue was heard on all speakers. If you can hear the dialoge coming from your FL, FR, SL and SR speakers, then that is not Dolby 5.1

After the announcement that their HD channels are now in Dolby 5.1, the audio for dialogue can still be heard on all speakers, and this now include Fox Movies which was OK then and had real Dolby 5.1 signals before the announcement!

So now, I just switched to PCM and let my AVR convert the audio to Dolby Pro Logic as a compromise. This sucks.

ganun din ba ang case sa inyo? or there is just something wrong with the set up of my STB?
BTW, my STB is Pace.

I received my billing from Cignal, and I noticed meron na uli ako monthly.  I availed of the 6+1 promo, so I asked Cignal to clarify if na-apply na yung free month ko.  They were able to answer my question, with a schedule when the 6+1 was applied.  So I'm thankful.

Pero on the same day I sent that inquiry, they downgraded my plan 1290 to local channels only!  Parang ang onti na lang nang channels, puro local na lang, and meron Cignal channel, and HD PPV.  What happened?!  It can't by my new LNB, kasi pati yung Channel Lineup menu nagbago.  Konti na lang ang listed.

It gives the impression that they temporarily suspend normal service for accounts that have pending inquiries or being contested.  I find this to be business in bad faith!  Nag advance payment na nga, eto pa ang nangyari.  Buhay naman.  >:(

If I may answer the question... AFAIK, No satellite tv provider today transmit their HD channel in 1080p due to bandwidth issue as 1080p is twice as much as 1080i. If you want to watch in 1080p, BD and NMT are way to go..

as long as the satellite TV providers satellite footprint is covering your area, you can receive those channels using their respective STB.

@remixx: 1080i is the only available reso for now, it will take time for the 1080p without the right compression in order to reduce bandwidth. with a 32" 720p will do.

sir pentium4 question lang po.. or kahit sinong may alam :D

kakakabit lang po ng plan 790 namin..

bale po ang initial cash out po ba dapat ay..

790 (advance msf) + 100 (maintenance box fee) = 890?? kasi diba po pag plan 790 or 590 above ay free ang installation fee..

medyo kadudaduda kasi yung hiningi na initial cash out samin nung nag install..


Next question... bale po kung may advance msf na binayad sa initial cash out.. bale sa 5th month pa ko mag babayad ng msf?? kasi diba po may 3months free msf ngayon na promo

salamat po!!
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: heineken on Mar 24, 2013 at 12:09 PM
installation lang po ang babayaran nyo at 1 month advance. kung postpaid 790. free Cignal Kit.

1000 (depende sa location) installation at 890 = 1890

tapos additional 100 for maintenance or warranty (lifetime) on top of your monthly bill.

isang TV lang ba kakabitan?

pero akala ko po libre installation fee pag 790 katulad ng sabi ni sir pentium4

yung samin kasi sabi nung installer nag additional charge daw sila.. parang tig 300 sila.. kaya nung nag total 2540 ata yun binayad namin

hi guys,
maybe someone here has the answers.  my house currently runs sky cable to four different rooms via a signal booster with splitters. the cable wires were run through the walls when the house was built. if i apply for cignal tv will this booster and wall embedded wiring be condemned? will new wiring be required? how is the reception in greenhills area? does cignal allow for four rooms?

cheers!
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: gunslinger on Apr 02, 2013 at 02:05 PM
You can reuse your existing cable runs but only for 1 room unless you get an extension which you have to pay separately for 230 a month + installation fee. i had mine installed last Sat. The 15 meter free cable was not enough coming from the dish location to my living room. I had it connected to my existing cable run from a previous destiny cable subscription to save on the installation fee since you have to pay extra for each meter of excess cable that they are going to use.

hayun nakuha ko din kung paano i-reset ang password :D

if mag-appear ang "This card is not a viewing card(6)", lightly scratch or use and a pencil erase to clean yung gold metallic plate ng smart card then do hard reset.

hard reset: while the stb is on, remove and reinsert smart card. default smart card for humax xh-7000 is 9999, 9998 or 0000.

that's it! working na uli ang HD box ko :D

all wireless comm has interference,
in satellite medium, it is affected by thunderclouds and sun outage
occurence however is minimized by a stronger satellite and bigger dish while sun outage happens only ~ twice a year.

follow up with the installer dealer who installed your unit.
cignal activation is not perfect... meron nga kami case na within the day na activate, meron din naman na 3 days after na hindi pa na activate... natabunan na pala ng mga bagong job order.

minsan naman yung hardware hindi pa naka allocate para sa dealer, meron pang logistics ek ek na di magawan ng paraan na kahit isang pindot lang sa computer ay ayus na.

Dunno if it's just coincidence that 4 or so members here are having problem, or if it's an isolated problem affecting certain users lang since some members here, and other subs, never had signal interruptions..

Might call Cignal nalang, though I don't know how fast they can send in tech support. :(



PACE Box
1.     Unplug the RG6 cable at the back of the receiver
2.     Perform hard reset ( unplug and plug in the Cignal box)
3.     Wait for the technical problem error to prompt
4.     Press “ok” on the remote control
5.     Go to “Settings”
6.     Plug in the RG6 cable
7.     Enter the PIN code (“0000”, “9998” or “9999”)
8.     Go to System Setup > Diagnostics
9.     Check the current release number
10.  The version should be 106
11.  Press cancel/back, then select “Installation Setup”
12.  Select “Satellite Setup” then press “ok”
13.  Set the following:
a)    LNB Type: Dual
b)    Low Band and High Band LO Frequency: 09750 and 10600
c)     LNB Power: “ON” for the main box and “OFF” for the 2nd/3rd box)
14.  Select SES7-NE8 entry point and check signal parameters, then press OK

Called up Cignal, and they told me to unplug RG6 then hard reset, then press ok (they didn't mention about waiting for the technical problem error to come up). when I turned it on, I just got the STB starting up message. How do I get the tech error to prompt? They just told me to wait 24 hours (which I feel just meant call up again and bother another tech support guy).

Any advice?

c)     LNB Power: “ON” for the main box and “OFF” for the 2nd/3rd box)
14.  Select SES7-NE8 entry point and check signal parameters, then press OK
Finally got it to work by following the instructions, just a few notes that might help others out there:
1. I had to do factory reset (power + ch+) while RG6 was disconnected
2. For some reason, the factory default was not SES7-NE8 (NSS11 I think), and it was working before

Now, while writing this up, had signal for a couple of minutes, then suddenly nothing again (no signal). Might try other entry points (and see if there's a problem with my wire connection). :(

edit: Now, I tried going back to NSS11 and I have a signal level of 206, but can't continue (also, padlock symbol is black, not white). Will try checking out other settings..

Worked pretty well for Humax box
Got signal in Cignal now after putting in the settings

Extra information for Humax boxes circa 2010 and earlier - newer subscribers have Pac (like my second box)

To reset there's a reset button aptly marked behind the drop-down panel
the button is small and you need a tool to press it in - it's beside the card slot

ensure the coax cable is not attached
you need to get into the screen that says no signal received
then press the i for info button to get to the menu
then put in the details in the earlier post

re-attach the cable and power off then power on again
wait for the STB starting up to complete - it should work this time

I ranted before on the picture quality of some Cignal channels. Kudos to Cignal for fixing them, but some channels still sucks. Nat Geo(sd) and Studio 23. Studio 23 is suffering from ghost images. Is it really that hard to fix?

I wish they would add more channels to plan 1590. I only has 4 additional channels over the next lower plan, plan 1290. The extra 300 pesos we pay should buy us more channels in my opinion. The reason were sticking to it is because of cartoon network HD and MTV Live HD.

I'm currently a Plan 790HD subscriber. Sir pentium4, if I'm not mistaken, I believe these are the changes to our current channel line-up?

New SD Channels:
Jack City
Fox Sports (an SD version of Fox Sports Plus HD, but with slightly different programming)
Star Sports
Religious Channels

New HD Channels:
Fox HD
Fox Movies Premium HD

Total of 12 HD Channels. Not bad, but more HD channels in the future would be nice. :) Happy to make the switch as well!

My secondary Pace box heats up like crazy in an hour after being powered on
It's no even receiving broadcast yet since I did not get to update it in the last FW exercise.
Despite having the power adapter outside of the bow the thing still cooks anything it sits on or on top of it

I doubt the thing will last long against the Humax box
It is much smaller though but I'm more for interruption free service than looks
So I don't think it's a good thing unless they have a better ventilated model.

I can't believe just how primitive digital viewing is in the Philippines and how much the providers have the audacity to charge. I just signed up with Virgin Media, here in the UK and I can get 100MB fibre optic broadband with phone line and digital TV with Tivo for 1000 peso per month for the first 6 months and 1500 per month thereafter. I even get a free Nexu 7 tablet and tivo box. They have the cheek to charge more than that for speeds barely above dial up.

I know it says on the site that its only for 1290 and 1590, but maybe it's not yet updated.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: skooter on May 04, 2013 at 10:55 AM
@bismaky - i think it has something to do about the way your tv deinterlaced the 1080i signal coming out from your STB box. Sa mga modern samsung tvs they have this feature w/c they call it "film mode" w/c at default setting has been turn OFF that thing should be turn ON either in AUTO1 or AUTO2 but AUTO1 is the most approriate. This feature is available if you are receiving a 1080i signal coming out from your STB box. Now if your TV doesn't have this feature you might as well set your STB resolution to 720p yung nga lang nasa 720 resolution ka lang. But if  your TV has motionflow i thk this would help.

Cignal HD boxes are available for IPTV use.
that is designed for MDU, condo, hotel, and even residential units with fibr or fast DL speeds like 3-5MB at least.
in this way, no need to install dish. signal is sent thru the LAN cables instead.

wow..does CIGNAL has that service? though CIGNAL is a subsidiary of PLDT and has fibr services does CIGNAL tap into this technology?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on May 04, 2013 at 11:52 AM
yes, it is working already. have seen it work 2 years ago, the limitation is the dsl speed that is why it took a while to be implemented.

I believe pldt fibr has offered it as add on service.

it will be launched officially soon.

Actually, Cignal has only one religious channel, EWTN. The others, ZOE (Light TV), INC TV and UNTV are free to air TV Stations that they are required by Law to carry. kulang pa nga e since they still dont have 3ABN/Hope and SMNI channels 39 and 43.

What they lack are religious Cable channels such as TBN, Church Channel, Smile of Child, HCBN, JCTV, God TV and, TV Maria.

Pag nagkadifficulty ang sub e may bayad na kasi out of warranty na daw stb.  Nagbabayad na magkaroon ng pinapanood tapos kailangan ng tech support ng sub ay pagbabayarin pa ulit?  Hindi ba kasama sa subscription fee ang support kung nagkaproblem ang subscriber?

installation workmanship warranty is six months only (AOG not included)
unit warranty if bought is one year for the cignal kit

after the six months period, service call visit fee applies.
if all things work according to plan, you should not need any service call support.
like in middle east wherein once installed, it lasts for more than 2-3 years since there is no typhoon.
but here, we have weather disturbance and the likes that affects the outdoor unit. thus, the need for service.

@jasper: cash outright still available but on prepaid accounts only.
2nd and 3rd are also not available in cash. thru lease only.

Yes, they have third party contractor who handles technical servicing.

they are simply tasked to go to your place and they dont know what to do :D
worst is, they charge higher than the TP.

normal ba talaga ma cutoff ang transmission sa cignal pag malakas yung ulan? well if not normal is there anything we can do about it? lasnyt nanood kami na previously recorded na spurs vs. warriors sa NBA premium HD then suddenly na cutoff yung transmission sa cignal due to heavy rainfall and we are really piss off at that moment, eh..akalain mo we're in the middle of final minutes of double overtime of the game. bummer!!!!!!

make sure your installer gets the highest achievable signal quality to minimize rain fade interruption.
insist on high negative BER rate.

Any help from this, I'm clueless. Full signal but the quality ranges from 60-80. Some HD channels are pixelated during fast frames. Using DeVant 32in LCD and 720p resolution.

Hope someone can shed light on the matter. Many thanks!
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on May 10, 2013 at 09:45 AM
before the Satellite upgrade last Nov. 60-80 quality range is ideal using the prime SD box which is used for measuring signal quality.
however, when they changed to new satellite it went to 100 and over.

so, the only indicator left is that it should reach the highest possible attainable signal quality on a clear sky.
unless, you have a digital satellite meter that gives accurate reading.

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.

(http://distilleryimage5.ak.instagram.com/02adc7fcb92f11e2912322000a1f933e_7.jpg)


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.

Kasi ABS-CBN owns Skycable and they dont give direct feed(digital) of signal to Cignal. So ang binobroadcast na signal ng Cignal ay ung over-the-air lang which is analog.

I'm assuming you are using the PACE hd box. Sound from stb is really low, thats normal. My work around is to maximize the volume on the STB and I'll just control the volume on the TV or HT.

For the "return to previous channel", the button would be the cancel button, the one with X on it.

And lastly for the signal interruption, expect more this rainy seasaon, but bumabalik naman agad. ung na experience mo na 15 mins matagal na un. sometimes kasi it took only 3-5 mins then oks na ulit ang signal (based on my experienced, I'm near Tagaytay).

I'm on Plan790 also (4 Months already)

Yes all channels of Cignal has logo on it. Its opaque and its position depends on every channel. Di mo na din mapapansin un pagnagtagal na. I think this is just another way of advertisement of Cignal, sample is pag may visitor ka they would first notice that logo hehehe.

it is more of a security feature, not really an advertising tool.
since many local cable tv are "re broadcasting" channels illegally.
this feature will allow Cignal to "finger print" a particular box and disable it to avoid illegal rebroadcasting.
that is why you sometimes see, alpha numeric appearing on your boxes. it is unique per box.

Hey, why not display the logo for 10 seconds every 15 minutes? It's not really necessary to do it all the time. We as customers deserve to have the most convenient way of watching. Like Now TV in Hong Kong, you should just display your distracting logo that fills up the screen for 10 seconds every 15 minutes. (Adjust the time if you want) Please, submit this suggestion to your superiors, pentium. Because this logo is the one holding back some consumers from availing a Cignal TV subscription.

watch it... I'm not an employee of CignalTV.
If you have better suggestion and the likes, go send it direct to them. as we subscribers has suggested long ago.
but, having the logo on channel is a lame excuse for not availing such.

Personally, I dont watch TV just to look into the logo... may it be star world, fox etc.
I look for the content and my plasma TV does not have a burn in logo for the past 2 years.

Hindi naman nakakadistract yun. Mas nakakadistract Kung naka on all the time. Isip in mo po na kung (blank seconds every (blank) minutes naka display yung logo, may security feature pa rin Pero mas convenient sa tv watchers Dahl Hindi lagging nagboblock ang logo sa corner ng screen at mas marami ang magkikita mo.

Actually nung una nakaka ilang talaga. Pero ngayon nasanay na rin ako. It's true kung tatanggalin would be best. Kaya lang nga as explained, it's Cignal's way of securing their product. Unless we get hold of the owner of Cignal, magtiis na lang tayo dun. Anyway, there are other alternatives naman.

They (TV5) gave away Cignal STB (channel locked) for free to small town CATV. And for Colours and Hyper, they charged a small monthly subscription..

Since its only a 720p content so i just watch my cignal's content on a small screen yung 32 inches lang na lcd screen. I dont use my 64 inch. na plasma for cable viewing. 

I dont see any material from any provider declaring full HD on their content.
including CignalTV.  it is 720P but it is still HD.

I am referring to nat geo and not nat geo HD. Compared to other SD channels, Nat Geo really sucks.

I agree with the earlier suggestion, sir pentium as a supplier of cignal is better positioned to make suggestions to cignal management, especially regarding customer feedback. Having the logo on all the time and on all channels except tv5 channels is overkill in my opinion. yes after a while masasanay ka din but still its the only sat/cable provider that has their logo plastered on the screen all the time and in bright effing red! and besides we are not paying subscription fee to have cignal advertisement on our tv's? seriously anyone who thinks having a logo is better than not having one is either a fanboy or works for cignal...lol just my two cents

I dont care of the logo on the channels, and some are right, other channel logo are way too big than the cignal logo. like fox hd... kung hindi man malaki, andami naman  like fox premium hd...

sometimes you need to put your foot on other shoes...
if you are the owner who invested Billions in this system... it is not a joke to just let CATV operators to re broadcast your channels of which you are paying for.

if you are a subscriber, you can email [email protected] to get your reco or suggestions be counted.
being a supplier does not add merit to the case, we cannot even rant in behalf of a subscriber.
whenever I call Cignal, I call as a subscriber not as a Dealer or Distributor.

and am not a fanboy either... it so happens that there's no other better DTH alternative.
if there is one, let me know.

We had an overnight stay @ a small hotel in Oroquita city when we visited Dakak last year and I can't believe the local Catv channel offering. Almost all channels of Cignal (except for FTA) are there. Had to 2nd look if I was using the tv's or stb's remote. And NTC or Cignal can't do anything about that...

Eto rin experience ko. Simula nang magdagdag sila na channels, it took time (1hr or more) to update the stbs time to current from hard boot.

Btw, I've read from this thread na may update ang stbs. Anyone who can confirm this? Ano na po ba latest firmware ng pace stbs? Mine was from the Sept. 11, 2012, may bago na bang update?

Regarding the wrong date showing on stb, we also had the same experience. My workaround is to switch first the channel to one of the local channels (ABS-CBN, GMA etc) then few seconds or minutes after, the correct time & date appears on the stb.

Yup ganyan nga ung nangyayari sa box ko. Ang tagal mag update ng time coming from hard reboot. Lahat kasi connected sa isang power strip(TV,HT,STB) kaya isang switch lang ang ON/OFF. Tapos kahapon had a problem with Fox Premium Movies HD. Iba ung palabas, though movie channel din cya pro alam ko hndi un FOX premium Movies kasi walang logo, and chineck ko ung schedule sa internet, ang palabas dapat is "Girl with a dragon tattoo" pro si will smith ung palabas. anyway another thing is nung bumalik nan ung fox premium movies I noticed na wala na ung Cignal logo.

Humax is phased out already.

SW needs to be corrected. not user friendly when you dont get a signal. it gets out of time synch when you loss signal. they need to tweak the SW code.

Hi,

Had a problem with pace hd remote.

I registered my TV on the pace hd remote, so when you change the modes you can control the STB and the TV. The problem is even though the mode is on STB, when I press the volume rocker the TV is the one responding not the STB. The power button on the remote lights up when you press any key. If its orange its on STB mode, if its green then TV mode. but even if the its on STB mode when I press volume rocker it turns green, the rest of the buttons are lighting the power button as orange.

Now I can't MAX out the STB's volume :(

We all know that the STB has low volume even its max out.

Does any one has the same problem?

Haven't tried contacting out our Installer, cause maybe you guys have a solution to this.


Thanks :'(

Updated my Pace STB software manually to version 1.07 (thanks to an earlier post here on how to do it). Parang wala namang noticeable difference from the last software version.

Cignal plan 790 is great (it's actually plan 890 strictly speaking since you have to pay additional P100 monthly for box maintenance).

Before you switch though, make sure you can live with a 3-20 minute signal loss (no signal) during heavy rainfall/thunderstorms that are extended in duration.
(Quite common during the monsoon months of June & July).

Normal moderate rains will not cut off signal and will usually not give you reception problems but thunderstorms and heavy downpour/torrential rains will definitely make you miss about 3-20 minutes of the show you are watching (depending on how long the downpour remains heavy).

As for picture quality, channel 5 looks great on my Aquos (60" LED tv).  Its quality actually exceeds my expectations.  It can sometimes exceed picture quality of Colours HD which is sometimes broadcast on upscaled SD.  In other SD channels, quality is acceptably sharp except for Discovery SD (channel 74) which is horribly soft (reminds me of some youtube videos). 

Most HD channels are very good. Some, in particular, HBO HD, you see noticeable compression artifacts/breakups in fast moving scenes. The rest are generally very good to excellent.

Generally, I have no complaints about Cignal's picture quality (both SD and HD) as they are better than Skycable's.  I think the only disadvantage you really have to consider is the signal loss during heavy rains.  3 minutes to 20 minutes of no signal can matter and can be a huge disappointment if you happen to watch a game or a movie.

I'm really enlightened on what should I expect with Cignal  :) Will consider that "signal loss" during heavy downpour.
The "sound level" that I've mentioned was Nat Geo SD's sound level, it is very low that I have to crank up the volume and during commercial break when SKY Ads appears, the sound level becomes normal that literally have to jump up and tone down the volume, really annoying.
I'm researching on what does SkyHD (DualDef) would look like on big screen and also thanks for mentioning Discovery SD, I watch these 2 channels more often than other channels and that's my main reason in switching into HD Cable.
 
Thanks again!

LNB out should be connected to the other STB.
it is not recommended, since LNB out has a 12VDC* supply coming from the box

Hello Guys, Im trying to understand what benefits I can reap for subscribing to Cignal other than Video/Movies; could anyone graciously 'educate' me if I can do the following;

- Connect the digital box to a HT receiver? would I get the benefit of a surround sound? stereo? - clueless.
- would it be able to resolve the volume level issues in between commercial and programs, (no experience, read about it back reading).
- if can connect to a receiver, would it upscale? and can the movies be converted to 3D? - totally clueless

Advance thanks for the understanding.

Yes you can connect to av reciever with dolby surround basta yung audio nung movie DD din. No upscale even naman mga skycable no upscale. Kung ano resolution ng source un na din. What volume level? For me naman malakas volume ng cignal even di naka reciver. No conversiin to 3D.

it's a direct replacement for cable tv subscription ... if you're already subscribed to digital cable tv, the only things that you may need to compare to decide whether to subscribe to cignal or not is the programming and customer service ... one advantage of cignal if you do not have any subscription yet is that you can install it basically anywhere in the Philippines (except if you're living in condominiums) ... disadvantage of cignal is what was mentioned above - if there are heavy rains, you lose connection, and this is true to any other satellite dish subscriptions

I wish there is a device where i can plug in my stb then this device will convert the signal from the stb into cable tv signal which i can then plug in to the antenna input of my TV. Not ony will I be able to use my TV's tuner, i can also split this for all the TVs in my house.

As of the moment, we are using an AV sender and receiver device so we can watch Cignal on TV sets that has no STB. The downside is, there is signal loss, HD channels are downgraded to SD and it interferes with our wifi. Range is not good as well. You are also limited to the fact that if someone is watching on the stb where the AV sender is plugged in, you will have to settle for whatever channel is being watched on the STB. Changing the channel on the stb will change the the programs on both TVs.

This is the device that we use. We have two of them. So aside from 3 boxes that we have, we have an additional 2 TVs that has Cignal.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: pentium4 on Jun 25, 2013 at 10:11 AM
it has dependency...  unlike cable tv wherein you simply use splitter.
satellite tv uses LNB that should be powered up in order to receive a signal.
thus, on multiple box setup, only ONE box should supply the LNB. the rest are dependent on the main box.

Main box should be plugged IN, on standby (not required to be powered ON, unless you'll be watching on that particular TV) for other unit to work.

It is also possible to work without the dependency but it will require a device mostly used in multi dwelling unit.

AFAIK, powering the LNB on applies if the signal that was received was transmitted on Horizontal and Vertical polarity. Cignal's satellite signal are (were) now transmitted on just one polarity, horizontal. 7 transponders on SES-7, all horizontal..

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: thebat on Jun 25, 2013 at 04:50 PM
1st hand experience with the additional boxes here. I know because I just recently added two boxes (1 week ago).
I do not need to plug in, open or on stand by the 1st box for me to watch on the 2nd and 3rd box. They work independently from each other.

The splitter was done before the first box. Whatever plan you have, your dish will supply it to your boxes 1, 2 and 3, individually and independently. Now I pay 1,290 + 230 + 230 = 1,750.

Please note, it is the other way around.
The box supply the DC power to the LNB for you to receive the signal.

the LNB is rated 13-15VDC
that is the reason why on basic residential set-up. only 1 STB should be in LNB powering.
why? do the math... all STB in LNB powering would mean 13V/18V coming from each STB going to the same LNB.
we used to install DC block on secondary units to make sure no power will be provided to main box even when you do a factory reset. it is now mitigated by software switch function that is LNB powering.

Also, the satellite splitter being used is a power divider "ALL PORTS POWER PASSING"
that means, it lets any power coming into the "OUT" ports to the only "IN" port.

So, it is possible and very likely that boxes with LNB Powering ON on all STB setup are viewing them not at the same time.

For me, I will stick with the Main ON, secondary OFF setup. All ON setup may damage your 1. Splitter , 2. LNB or 3. STB (should be ok, if under warranty ;)

btw, this is my personal opinion as subscriber and does not reflect CignalTV as service provider.  thanks

As per pentium's reply before, rf out (for boxes that has them) does not function that way. It functions like a splitter where you can plug in another box for another TV. And I dont think any STB will have that function. Otherwise, everyone can have their signal output from RF then use a splitter to split the signal to all TVs in their household including their neighbors.

Only Fox Movies Premium is in true dolby digital. Other HD channels, your AVR would indicate it as DD but the audio that you will hear is not. And yes, turning the Dolby in the stb off and settling for Pro Logic is a better compromise.

Guys inquire ko lang if there is such device to convert the COAX audio out of our Cignal boxes to Toslink/Optical out? Wala kasing Toslink/optical out yung Cignal box namin. And my home theater only has Toslink/optical audio in. Thanks in advance!

 Had this problem too, so what I did is I had my audio go out via the HDMI. And on my TV, it has an optical out. From there i plug it on my AVR.
Not sure if all TVs have optical out, but im confident it does. Our 5yo samsung tv has one. The downside is, on older tvs, the gets downgraded to stereo. it can not send the audio via optical in Dolby. But the newer ones will and it can send audio via optical in dolby.

anybody here experiencing intermittent weak signal for the past 3 days from muntinlupa area? cloudy kasi for the past 3 days kaya di ko masabi kung ano talaga ang problem. bigla kasing ganyan yong 2 paceHD boxes ko. dati naman kahit makapal ang cloud, raining or bumabagyo pa, walang problem. baka kasi kelangan na ng realignment ng dish or replacement ng LNB.

thanks for the info. mukha ngang hindi cloud ang problem. ngayon clear sky and sunny pero naglalaro ng 40-20-0 ang SQ. i just power off my main stb pag on ko stable na at di bumababa ng 60 with BER 40-50E-7. then after more than 30 mins balik na naman yong intermittent weak signal. then power off ulit ok na naman sya.

My signal strength is 100, level is 255, then my signal quality plays from 60 to 80, BER 47.OE-7

Okay na ba to?

brod, I am using cignal digital tv box skyworth hs8871. my signal strength is 60, quality is 100, signal level is 176, ber 0.0E-7.  how can I improve the strength and signal level? anybody? thanks.

if I can increase the signal strength of my receiver will it improve the resolution of blurred sd channels like studio 23, nat geo, solar sports, stas sports, free to air channels, etc. thanks again,

AFAIK, it won't positively improve the "blurring" but it will minimise the "pixelation" due to weak signal received..

thanks, pamboy, I was thinking of the same thing, at this signal level there is not much pixelation so I think that "blurred channels" are the limitations of cignal, will you be able to know why. thanks again.
I am a former OFW in the middle east and the signal from free to air channels there via "nile sat" are exceptionally clear. I hope cignal can improve.

Nope.. you can either minimize it but not totally eliminate it.. One way of minimizing it is to replace the KU dish with much bigger dish. About 5(?) years ago, Dream Satellite offered internet tru satellite. They installed a much bigger dish compared to the dish for TVRO. Compared to the current dish of Cignal's, they are about 4 times bigger..

Finally bit the bullet and filled up an online subscription form just now for Plan 990. :D

QQs though fopr those with experience:

1. How long does it usually take for them to show up in your house for installation?
2. With an ongoing promo for 1 month free and 1000 pesos off installation charge if you subscribe to another cable company, does this mean, i virtually pay nothing for the fist month?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: kidbukid on Jul 31, 2013 at 10:47 AM
based on my experience...

1. usually a few days after you applied, they will come to your house to install the dish and box, then hintay ka uli a few days bago ma-activate yung account mo.. be sure complete ang documents mo at kulitin mo yung nag-install nai-submit agad sa cignal kasi yun ang pagbabasehan nila kung ia-activate na nila yung account mo, all in all 1 week aabutin..

2. yes, may dumating mang bill sa'yo may credits ka pa valid for the next month (ex. Php 990Cr)

Update: after filling out the online subscription form, it turns out that i was suppossed to receive an actual application form via email which i never received until this afternoon, onlyu after calling the hotline to confirm my application.

So i was suppossed to fill up the application form and then send it back to them via fax or email (redundant considering nag online application form na ako) along with other supporting documents.

at this point, what i did was i went another route --- i called one of the territory partners. they were very helpful. at least i can course all actual hard copies of all the paperwork through them instead of emailing/faxing. Expecting them to come tomorrow between 2 to 4 pm. :)

We need to get Cignal to add these 3 HD Sport Channels!


beIN SPORT to launch in Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines and Taiwan

beIN SPORT in partnership with MP & Silva extends their rapid expansion with launches in four key markets in South East Asia.

beIN SPORT today announced that its exciting sports channel line up will launch next month in Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines and Taiwan. The news follows this week’s successful launch of the beIN SPORT channels in Indonesia.

beIN SPORT has launched three high-definition channels featuring a world class line-up of football content, led by the most extensive and complete coverage of the Barclays Premier League (BPL), as well as other compelling top sports events such as the 17th Asian Games INCHEON 2014. The channels will be known as beIN SPORT 1 HD, beIN SPORT 2 HD and beIN SPORT 3 Premier League HD.

- beIN SPORT 1 HD will broadcast a stellar bouquet of LIVE football all year round. This includes extensive BPL coverage with LIVE match coverage every football weekend. Other compelling football content includes LIVE coverage of the Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1, Major League Soccer (MLS), the Brazilian national league (Paulistao & Brasileirão), nPower Football League Championship, major cup tournaments such as the FA Cup, Coppa Italia and the Coupe de la Ligue, England and Italy National Teams coverage, National team friendlies and FIFA World Cup Qualifiers featuring top South American and European teams.

-  beIN SPORT 2 HD will also feature LIVE BPL, Serie A and French Ligue 1 coverage, in addition to events from the Olympic Council of Asia including the 17th Asian Games INCHEON 2014, ATP 250 tennis events, International Baseball Federation events such as the Baseball World Cup, the Italian Volleyball League, top rugby events in the RBS Six Nations, Aviva Premiership, Rabodirect PRO12, coverage of the national teams of Argentina, and Wales and Ireland and much, much more.

- beIN SPORT 3 Premier League HD is the first ever 24-hour BPL-dedicated channel in Indonesia that offers round-the-clock coverage with nearly 1,600 hours of LIVE BPL programming each season. This includes up to 40 hours of LIVE programming each week that covers all 380 BPL matches per season, weekly magazine show Premier League World, the best pre-match coverage and post-game analysis with former BPL players and seasoned football presenter John Dykes, in addition to weekly preview and review shows and highlights from every round of the BPL.

The channel line up has been tailored for each market with beIN SPORT 1 HD & 2 HD launching in Hong Kong, beIN SPORT 1 HD launching in Thailand and all three beIN SPORT channels launching in the Philippines and Taiwan.

Commenting on the news Nasser Al Khelaifi, Chairman of beIN SPORT, said: “Asia is a very important market for beIN SPORT and we hope to continue the pace of expansion here as we seek new opportunities for growth”.

We need to get Cignal to add these 3 HD Sport Channels!


beIN SPORT to launch in Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines and Taiwan

beIN SPORT in partnership with MP & Silva extends their rapid expansion with launches in four key markets in South East Asia.

beIN SPORT today announced that its exciting sports channel line up will launch next month in Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines and Taiwan. The news follows this week’s successful launch of the beIN SPORT channels in Indonesia.

beIN SPORT has launched three high-definition channels featuring a world class line-up of football content, led by the most extensive and complete coverage of the Barclays Premier League (BPL), as well as other compelling top sports events such as the 17th Asian Games INCHEON 2014. The channels will be known as beIN SPORT 1 HD, beIN SPORT 2 HD and beIN SPORT 3 Premier League HD.

- beIN SPORT 1 HD will broadcast a stellar bouquet of LIVE football all year round. This includes extensive BPL coverage with LIVE match coverage every football weekend. Other compelling football content includes LIVE coverage of the Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1, Major League Soccer (MLS), the Brazilian national league (Paulistao & Brasileirão), nPower Football League Championship, major cup tournaments such as the FA Cup, Coppa Italia and the Coupe de la Ligue, England and Italy National Teams coverage, National team friendlies and FIFA World Cup Qualifiers featuring top South American and European teams.

-  beIN SPORT 2 HD will also feature LIVE BPL, Serie A and French Ligue 1 coverage, in addition to events from the Olympic Council of Asia including the 17th Asian Games INCHEON 2014, ATP 250 tennis events, International Baseball Federation events such as the Baseball World Cup, the Italian Volleyball League, top rugby events in the RBS Six Nations, Aviva Premiership, Rabodirect PRO12, coverage of the national teams of Argentina, and Wales and Ireland and much, much more.

- beIN SPORT 3 Premier League HD is the first ever 24-hour BPL-dedicated channel in Indonesia that offers round-the-clock coverage with nearly 1,600 hours of LIVE BPL programming each season. This includes up to 40 hours of LIVE programming each week that covers all 380 BPL matches per season, weekly magazine show Premier League World, the best pre-match coverage and post-game analysis with former BPL players and seasoned football presenter John Dykes, in addition to weekly preview and review shows and highlights from every round of the BPL.

The channel line up has been tailored for each market with beIN SPORT 1 HD & 2 HD launching in Hong Kong, beIN SPORT 1 HD launching in Thailand and all three beIN SPORT channels launching in the Philippines and Taiwan.

Commenting on the news Nasser Al Khelaifi, Chairman of beIN SPORT, said: “Asia is a very important market for beIN SPORT and we hope to continue the pace of expansion here as we seek new opportunities for growth”.

Andrea Radrizzani, MP & Silva Group CEO, said: “We are very excited with the pay-TV growth potential in those markets and we hope that beIN SPORTS international sports content offer will intensify this process”. He added: “MP & Silva has developed a strong expertise and leadership in the Asian market and beIN SPORT has excelled in delivering high quality sports programmes internationally”

Same lang gamit ng cignal and other cable company na cable. For me mas ok ang cignal mga PPV mura and ang daming HD channel. NB premium kasama sa plans 590 above ata ang skycable sa dual def nila seperate ang NBA premium.

Doc Jun, gamit ko sa house is Sky Dual-def ok naman except nawala yung Discovery Channel & Bio. Yes additional yung NBA Channel sa Sky. Mayron feature yung Sky na I-record don't know if mayron din ang Cignal niyan. Yung Dad ko Cignal ang gamit niya and yes kasama sa standard package yung NBA. Aliw nga ako dun sa NBA Channel kasi yung commercial niya is not local. Also, everytime I visit him wala pa ako experience na nawala signal even if umuulan. PQ seems the same lang for both provider.

By the way, in terms of customer service sobra ako hirap sa Sky as in grabe. No experience sa Cignal but one time na need ko help si Pentium4 assisted me and flawless naman. This was when I need to get PPV for my dad sa boxing and at that time parang ilang araw na lang fight night na.

Tiningnan ko ang available channels for both Cignal and Dual-def, at same price range, almost the same lang rin ang inclusions nila.. I'm not much into basketball so ok lang wala NBA HD.  I'm more into documentary like NatGeo etc.  I'll compare both in depth and decide.. Thanks for the inputs..

Post by: spat on Aug 21, 2013 at 05:52 PM
Tanong lang.  Bakit malabo ang channel 2 at channel 7 (anong channel pa ba?)as compared to channel 5 or aksyon tv?

Channel 4 naiintindihan ko na mas malabo talaga as compared to 2 and 7 pero mas malabo yung 2 e.  may shadow siya.

Naging mas malinaw pa tuloy ang channel 13 kesa sa abovementioned.  Tsaka nakakainis naman, lagi nalang nawawalan ng feed dahil sa ulan ng ulan.  Di ako tuloy makanood ng balita ng mabuti.
Pwede ba ipaconvert itong subscription into IPTV?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: TOY 01 on Aug 21, 2013 at 08:10 PM
^ Bro ok naman yun ch. 2 & 7. Regarding nawawala yun signal pag umuulan normal lang pero laki na ng improvement ng cignal Ng bilis bumalik tapos kahit malakas yun ulan di naman nawawala yun signal.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: xgh0st12x on Aug 21, 2013 at 08:23 PM
I have the same observation as spat. Ni retain ko kasi yung destiny cable sa bahay and noticeable na mas maganda ang analog broadcast nila ng channel 2 kesa sa digital broadcast ni cignal.

Spat: simple lamg sagot jan. Cignal is owned by the same person who owns channel 5.
Sino ba ang main competitors ng channel 5? ;)
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: spat on Aug 21, 2013 at 08:31 PM
^Nagtataka lang ako kung bakit mas malinaw pa yung 2 and 7 ng skycable na walang digibox kumpara sa cignal.

Hintay nalang ako kung may nakakaalam kung pwedeng mag IPTV instead of using satellite para di nawawala wala ang feed :)  (balita pa naman ang pinapanood ko tapos biglang nawala dahil bumuhos na naman ang malakas na ulan)

pldt fibr triple play is not really IPTV, they just use the same facility/infra to transmit voice, video, and data, but the TV or video part will be delivered to you almost the same way as what you will get with cable tv ... hence your tv viewing does not consume bandwidth on your internet

Kelangan pala mag subscribe din sa fibr.  Di ata pwedeng instead of sat. ay by cable nalang.  Iba din ang channel line up :)
I guess we'll be maintaing two tv provider.  One cignal and the other one maski na analog basta de-kable.  Para pag masama panahon di nawawalan ng feed.  :)

Hello mga bossing,

Hingi lang sana ako advise how I can fix my issue. 4 out 6 of my HD channels are not working. Other channels are working without an issue. I called cignal and they informed me that they downgraded it kasi late ng post ung payment ko. But they told me it should work now. After 2 days ganun pa din. I already send an email to them pero naiinip na kasi ako. Nagbabakasali lang baka may makatulong po sa inyo. Maraming salamat.

Signal Strength: 70
Signal Quality: 45

Prevoiuosly I'm on cignal plan 790, then I've upgrade it to plan 1290 just to have discovery wolrd hd, and I'm disappointed with the shows, most of them are boring programs, I wish they have the program how we invented the world

I only had 5 hours a day (at most) to watch tv and @ plan 990, I'm satisfied with it. CNN HD in the morning and switching channels after that. FOX HD, History HD, FOX Sports Plus HD, FOX Crime HD and with NBA season coming up, another 2 hours of NBA Premium HD. And for shows that's not covered on plan 990, I just download it..

Tanong ko lang sa mga Cignal pospaid subscriber dito. Advance din po ba yung bill nyo?
Like for example, dumating yung bill september 25. den yung naka lagay sa bill covered is october 16 - november 15den due date is october 10. Ganun din po ba sa inyo kasi the way I look at it parang prepaid ang dating. kasi I have to pay in october the bill that will cover the month of november? I need your opinion po. Thanks and Morepower to pinoydvd.

Post by: pooch on Oct 09, 2013 at 03:22 PM
Tanong lang.  Bakit malabo ang channel 2 at channel 7 (anong channel pa ba?)as compared to channel 5 or aksyon tv?

Channel 4 naiintindihan ko na mas malabo talaga as compared to 2 and 7 pero mas malabo yung 2 e.  may shadow siya.

ayaw daw kasi ng Ch7 and Ch2 mag pa direct feed ang Cignal ayon sa isang pdvd member dito na taga mediascape kaya malabo

Naging mas malinaw pa tuloy ang channel 13 kesa sa abovementioned.  Tsaka nakakainis naman, lagi nalang nawawalan ng feed dahil sa ulan ng ulan.  Di ako tuloy makanood ng balita ng mabuti.
Pwede ba ipaconvert itong subscription into IPTV?

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: xgh0st12x on Oct 09, 2013 at 09:12 PM
/\ to repeat my answer...

simple lang sagot jan. Cignal is owned by the same person who owns channel 5.
Sino ba ang main competitors ng channel 5?  ;)
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: naphster on Oct 10, 2013 at 08:56 AM
Channel 2 and 7 are free to air channels and cignal doesn't need permission to air this channels from ABS CBN and GMA according to NTC, I thought that cignal just make their own channels clearer for the viewers to enjoy TV5 instead of ABS CBN 2 and GMA 7, just an opinion

maayos lang yan pag nag digital format na ang terrestrial broadcast sa atin. kasi hindi nagbibigay si ABS ng direct link thru satellite.

kaya ang feed ng 2 at 23 ay antenna feed pa galing manila tapos nasa pampanga pa ang uplink.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: xgh0st12x on Oct 10, 2013 at 10:39 AM

yeah... not really a deal breaker for me naman since

1. SD naman ang broadcast ng lahat ng local channels natin eh. so ano pa ba igaganda nun?
2. C'mon, is it really THAT bad? Mind you, i still retained my Destiny Cable at home, and when i compared the ABS CBN broadcasts from both Cignal and Destiny, hatata na mas maganda yung sa Destiny, but again, if you have no basis for comparison, and again, considering na SD format ang broadcast nya, it isnt THAT bad.

Naka experience din ako ng ganyan.  Umpisa nangyari last month.  2days ago, nagpalit kami ng batt.  Di pa naman nangyayari ulit.  Baka lang iniindicate ng ganyang behavior ng remote na mahina na ang battery nya.  Or maybe concidence lang yung pagbiblink?  :)

Is ESPN HD before having an NBA game telecast? I'm just a new subscriber on cignal and ESPN HD was already Fox Sports Plus HD when I subscribe. I've learned that only the Fox Sports SD is the one airing NBA games and it's quite disappointing that we can't watch NBA on ESPN in HD anymore.

problem : tearing of images every 5 to 10 secs. at fox sports hd
send an email to cignal lastweek - [email protected]
status : no reply so far
a very disappointed subscriber once my contract 1590php expires this coming january i will transfer to skycable.
this drives me nuts when watching live F1...change channel tuloy sa star sports SD or pagminalas talaga...pati SD channel wala...  >:(

madalas wala ako signal pag:
mahangin
maulap
maambon
maulan

cant switch to anything else as of the moment, wala pa 'linya' ng wired cable sa area namin(new/being developed subdivision kasi)

ditched my dream satellite cable for cignal, especially for F1 in HD...buti pa dream ganda ng signal reception kahit bumabagyo...well SD nga lang :P

sir newbie here... ask ko lang kung how much usually yung installation fee sa Cignal?nagapply ako ng cignal sa western at nag advance ako 1 month for plan 590. sabi kasi ng staff don yung magiinstall daw mas nakakaalam. since nakita ko sa website nila minimun 1k, mga how much kaya lahat lahat?antay ko pa kung kelan nila kakabit para mapaghandaan ko na. 1 tv lang kame and bungalow house lang. para atleast hindi ako tagain ng installer since may nagsabi sakin nag eextra charge sila kahit wala dinagdag..TIA ;D

Wala ba silang promo ngayon? Minsan may promo sila na free installation. Make sure you measure the cable to be used since this is where the extra charges come.

@tifosi_pao: your satellite dish needs fine tuning... hindi yan normal behaviour ng Cignal. kahit nga me bagyo meron pa rin palabas.

@ckzzrn: if you availed thru western appliance: you have 1000 discount on installation. normally they charge 1500 so, you will be paying just 500 upon installation. free coax cable is up to 15m. after that they charge 12.50-15 pesos per meter.

^ tumawag ako di na ako makatiis. Ayun, at least na register manu-mano yung pacquiao subscription ko. Kse daw sa 21 pa daw maa-activate yung channel. I told them to sana email acknowledge yung mga nag subscribe online. Take note daw nila.
Also, yung operator, di lumilitaw sa account natin sa computer kung nag avail nga tayo online. Parang sa ibang division napupunta yung online subscription.

I strongly suggest you call them para mas official and on record yung subscription para ma avail P500 rate.
Also dapat walang balance account mo. In my case me debit pa ako.

Simula na kayo ito ng pagpasok ng ABS-CBN owned cable channels: DZMM Teleradyo, Cinema 1, Balls, MYX, HERO, Lifestyle Network at Velvet sa Dream? Kung maaalala natin ng na-acquired ng SKY ang Destiny ANC din yung unang channel na ni-launch nila.

There's an article that ABS CBN is planning to buy Dream Satellite because TV5 is opposing them for a digital satellite broadcast in Sky Cable. Maybe it's the reason why there is now ABS CBN owned channles in Deam Satellite

kasi analog pa ang terrestrial broadcast sten kaya ganyan ang quality ng SD channels, minsan mas mgnda pa ang hindi LCD or LED tv's for SD channels. Hintay na lang naten maging digital ang terrestrial broadcast dito saten dun mas gaganda ang resolution ng SD channels. I've worked in south africa and I like the satellite provider there which is DSTV. All SD channels are clear and like a 720p resolution

they simply dont get it...
even if you put the same Sky programming into a satellite broadcast, you will end up paying a hefty sum.
CATV and Satellite TV has different operating cost that the subscribers will pay for.
ibig sabihin , hindi rin mailalagay ni Sky lahat ng HD channels sa Satellite dahil magiging P3,000+ ang monthly mo.

Anyway... Neutrally satisfied cignal subscriber here.

Thoroughly did my research on which provider to subscribe to before subscribing last august. After considering my needs, wants and budget, i concluded that cignal was the one for me.

Now if im a current cignal subscriber and i have nothing but complaints and comparisons to say about it, then i place the blame on myself and not cignal. It only means i wasnt thorough enough in researching the things im looking for in a paid tv subscription.

Pasingit mga boss, para sa akin bilang subcriber ako ng both analog and sattelite  cable tv masasabi ko na kung gusto mo ng di naman masyadong malinaw na channel pero MARAMI mag analog ka, in my case sa bahay namin naka telmarc kami, lahat ng channel owned by ABS-CBN eh nakuha nila even Jeepney TV mga premium channels naman ok din halos kumpleto for only 450 a month plus kung marami kang tv sa bahay pwede mo lagyan lahat bili ka lang ng splitter at coax, sa pharmacy ko naman naka cignal kami sa totoo lang nag sisi ako dahil mahal masyado ang lahat, installation, box maintenance free saka yung subscription fee mahal talaga lahat. quality wise ok naman ang cignal. HD channels ok naman sobrang linaw, pero kung dami at ganda ng channel wala talaga plan 430 HD ako, sobrang boring ng mga channel siguro dahil kapamilya ako at gusto ko lahat ng CPI channels which is imposible talaga na makuha ng cignal (tv5 owned). kung may wired cable dito sa area ng pharmacy ko mas ok ako sa analog. pero wala, walang choice. kaya kung bibilin ng sky ang dream mas ok. lilipat ako. ayun lang TY

Well that's it for me. Looking at outdoor channel right now, there is no way in hell that this garbage could be called HD.

Yo Cignal, remove outdoor channel as one of the channels youve listed as HD. This is misleading to consumers.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: naphster on Nov 24, 2013 at 06:04 PM
In my opinion, as HBO signature HD is not listed on Lyngsat line-up http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/cignal.html

Maybe the slot for Outdoor HD was temporarily given to HBO signature HD, any inputs sir Pentium regarding these?
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Columbia on Nov 24, 2013 at 06:25 PM
Not an opinion, but a speculation:
SES-7 had no vacant KU transponders for Cignal. Hence, they squeeze more HD channel by using different compression, which in turn degrades the quality of some channels. After the PPV, the Outdoor channel will return to it's "original" quality..

PPV is off now sir why is Outdoor still degraded? Maybe HBO signature HD has no slot in SES-7 KU transponder that's why we will not see the original quality of Outdoor HD

Yup.. maybe my speculation is wrong about the PPV. But I bet those channels that sir Pentium "announced"  won't be added in the line-up unless Cignal activates a new KU transponder.

degrading normally happens when they make channel changes.
as observed in previous occasions when they added new channels.
they will make adjustments to it.

as for the new channels... I have updated it last month.
per info, it will be SOON. not likely before the year ends.
they only made hbo hits due to the end contract of cinemax

@skooter: yep, more defined now per my observation as well.

@naphster: No, it is beamed separately and does not effect the other channel. it is more related to the filtering and bandwidth limitation.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Jrodulio on Dec 14, 2013 at 10:05 PM
Yessir. After i pick the transponder, it goes to the signal strength screen. There's no other option to move forward at that point - it's just "press cancel to go to previous screen". So i'm basically stuck there. I have two boxes and i moved the working one to the location of the non-working one. Thanks.

Sir nag apply ako nito ngayon lang. Hindi pa activated yung account ko.
Bakit hanggang 1080i lang ang maximum resolution nung skyworth hs8871 na binigay. Pero sa box nakalagay upto 1080p.

At sa skyworth website may built in media player daw. Pero hindi ko mahanap kung paano paganahin/ piliin yung built in media player ng sat box na skyworth? Or disabled siya ng cignal?

Paano rin yung time lapse? Kasi yung manual na kasama sa box manual na ng cignal tv eh. Wala yung manual na original.

Thanks
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: skooter on Jan 15, 2014 at 02:24 PM
walang cable company in the planet ngayon dat provides 1080p full hd na content...actually ang native resolution on most HD content sa mga cable providers is only 720p sir....if i were u don't set your STB box to 1080i kasi pangit ang motion resolution yan...mababa ang resolution kapag motion ang pag-uusapan at saka 1080i's motion are not silky smooth...so set your STB box to 720p. ang setup ko sa bahay ito.. 720p sa STB box den set my tv's picture size to 16:9 this way your tv will do the upscaling to full hd w/c is 1080p provide yung tv mo has a native resolution of 1080p.

Yung mga cable channel na sd ok lang yung clarity.
Yung mga hd channel malinaw at sharp talaga.

Tapos bakit wala dolby audio signal sa hdmi?

i dont think cable signal amplifiesrs would make a difference.
remember that cignal braodcasts digitally and not analog.
so, it's either you fully get the signal that they broadcast, regardless of the quality - or you dont get it at all.

As for me... Matagal tagal pa bago matapos kontrata ko kay cignal. For the price im paying and the broadcast quality im getting, i cant say im happy or disappointed so far.

Di na ako aangal na walang extra channels nor value added service at this point (though i would very much welcome them) kasi alam ko naman na yun ang makukuha kong package when i signed up for the plan.

It would not be logical for me to demand for more than the expectation that was set with me when i signed up for the service.

Talagang okay na okay yung competition between Sky Cable and Cignal. More and more channels are now appearing on our Pay TV service providers. Ang galing :)

Yun lang :)

P.S.
On another note:

May konting topak yung Cignal Digital TV sa Mariott Hotel Manila. For a few milliseconds, may stutter and konting pixelation during HD channels tulad ng sa FOX MOVIES PREMIUM. Minor issue lang naman.

Isa lang connection or linya nila kasi mapapansin mo ito hindi lang sa TV sa hotel room kundi pati na rin sa TV na nakakabit sa Treadmill (may stutter din ung image).

I think it only affects them.............kasi sa Makati Med naman, walang stuttering issues yung Cignal Digital TV dun.

At sir P4.

kasali po ba ang NatGeo WILD sa postpaid plan 430?

yung kapitbahay ko kasi ay may NatGeo WILD at postpaid plan 430

nung ako na magaapply, hindi ko nakita sa listahan ng plan 420 ay walang NatGeo WILD.

pagkaya nainstallan ako magkaka NatGeo WILD din ako?

please refer to www.cignal.tv for channel listing
they are offering "freeview" on certain channels not part of your plan, sort of a teaser.

Mga sirs
I have 2 cignal tv  receivers/cable box and have long runs of rg6 cables to multiple rooms, 6 in all.
I just move around the cignaltv box kung san room it is needed.
Example would be from master bedroom to living room while the other box is beIng used sa bedroom ng mga kids.
Ano ok na signal booster/amplifier na rated for sat dish ( upon research sa net un the usual booster sa mga ace ay pang regular cable tv and will not work sa sat dish) preferably 3 or more outputs? Where kaya mka buy? The ones provided by the installers are the seebest ba yun(?) 1-2 outputs lng meron.

Let's assume that they were required to ask for permission first. Why feed/received NHK World on SD (Channel 83)and not HD? And If I don't want any cable tv to air my signal, I simply encrypt it..

Agree on the observation that Cignal seem to be slowing down now that they had captured a share of the market. Parang nakita ko na eto dati sa mga telco na very aggressive sila sa promos and other freebies while starting out pero eventually operated similar to the older telco providers. Why spend more in improving your service if even old providers continue to enjoy large profits despite having below par service? Sayang lang gastos at mababawasan pa kita.

Your TV should have an optical out and your HT system should have an Optical In and connect them using an optical cable if you want to utilize the digital audio and enjoy 5.1 encoding. If you do not have it, you are left with the left and right analog composte audio, you can just use pro-logic if your Sony HT system has it to get at least 4.1 audio.

Its not a loss since only one channel in cignal's line up offers real 5.1 audio.

UFC fights not being shown on fox sports, sad to say, abs-cbn sports channel reception is bad...

Fox Sports Philippines aired UFC Macau live.......but only because FOX SPORTS/ESS was able to make a deal for UFC fights held in Asia Pacific wherein broadcasting rights can be shared with an existing local provider (i.e. ABS CBN, etc.)

Pero this does not apply to all other UFC fights such as those held in USA, UK, etc.

Nevertheless, Fox International Channels can implement program blocking for Fox Sports and Fox Movies Premium......on Cignal.

For Sky Cable, program blocking may not be needed if ABS CBN is willing to share broadcast rights to Fox International Channels (but only for Sky Cable subscribers). This was done during the Grammys, Golden Globe and Oscars which aired on Velvet Channel as well as on Fox Movies Premium (on Skycable only ; not available on Cignal and other PH pay tv providers)

Hi po mga ka Cignal, tanong ko lang kasi ngayon lang to nangyari after ng updates. Yung 1st box ay ok yung viva, pbo, fox hd, national geographic, untv, inc, at mga radio channels tapos yung 2nd box hindi maview yung channels na to. Chineck ko yung satelite signal sa 2nd box hindi naka lock. tapos yung sa 1st box naka lock naman. paano bo ba ito maresolve? TIA

Update ko lang mga bossing, nagfactory reset ako sa Pace box ko. Tapos ngayon hindi naka lock yung NES7-8. 0 zero na lahat at hindi magproceed. pro yung 1st box ok naman wala problem. anyone experiencing this one?

Yung pinalitan nitong remote has mode to control TV, and I know how to configure it. Kaso itong bagong remote na to di ko alam configure. Kahit link lang sa instructions, or kung ano tawag/model ng remote na  to.

Nag apply ako last Saturday morning. Post paid plan 790. Skycable sana ipapalit ko sa Destiny cable namin kaya lang pinagcompare ko ng price at channels included. Mas mura at mas sulit para sakin si Cignal.

Today nagpunta installer mga 1pm natapos ikabit then paguwi ko mula office 6pm naactivate na agad.

Plan 790 plus additional box kasi dalwa tv namin. Bale initial cash out ko 1620.00 plus additional cable lang kasi nadagdagan cable length.

So far im very satisfied. Ganito pala kasarap manuod ng madameng hd channels. Kasama pa sa plan 790 ung
Nba premium hd at fox sport hd.

Sa Sky kasi hinde pa kasama itong mga channels na ito sa 549 plan nila. Mag aad pako ng 150 for NBA Premium and Another for Fox Sports SD.

Destiny cable kame dati, nagdecide akong magpalit ng cable subscriber kasi anlabo na ng mga channels namin although naka splitter 2 tvs sa bahay.

Unang ni-consider ko skycable, upon check their post paid plan, nakita ko yung 549 dual def, kaya lang nun nakita ko channel line ups nila, wala yung star sports, fox sports at espn. Kasi formula 1 at motogp palagi namin pinanunuod ng kuya ko tuwing weekend. Mag aad pako ng 150 para lang magkamerun nun Fox Sport channel. And susunod na plan na ni Sky is 990 ata so medyo may kabigatan na kasi mag dudual box pako for my 2nd tv sa bahay.

Then nakita ko CIgnal cable, Boom! Sa plan 590 halos lahat ng channels na gusto ko andun na! Added bonux nalang samin yung NBA premium HD! Pero inavail ko yung plan 790 kasi mas mura kapag 2 boxes ang kukunin mo same day tapos mas mura din installation charge at may discount pa na 1000 since magswitch ako sa ibang cable.


So far so good, very satisfied sa Cignal. Hinde lang NBA premium HD ang na eenjoy, pati pala PBA in HD format LIve pa!

I was a Skycable subscriber before switching to Cignal. I guess two reasons why I made the switch: (1) Skycable had lousy customer service then (not sure now), at least from my experience. For some reason, our area would frequently have cable TV outages or madalas no signal. Makakailang tawag ka sa Skycable bago nila aksyunan. Obviously may problem sa area, pero nakakabanas na recurring problem. Pag tanungin mo about a refund, walang nangyayari; (2) I availed of Cignal's Plan 790 and I think it's value for money. Never really checked Skycable's plans if Cignal's plans are really better in that regard, but I'm satisfied with the channels being offered by Cignal for this plan. I'm a big basketball fan so it also helps that Cignal is offering NBA Premium HD, FoxSports HD, PBA HD, etc. at that price :)

Only gripes so far are the signal loss during heavy rain and the poor quality of the broadcast of the Lopez channels  ::) And I hope Cignal can come up with a news channel at par with Skycable's ANC. The Hyper Sports channel also needs improvement.

@wiggum: check your Channel 2... it is now corrected! finally no  need for 3d glass. sana isunod na ang 23.

@psychro: that 100 or 150 depending on plan is for the box maintenance aka warranty. it is cheaper in the long run than buying the STB for P6,000 . while still in use, your stb is under warranty once it fails (seldom)

Thanks for the tip, sir. Oo nga, quality of the Channel 2 feed is better. Di ko na nga pinapansin ang Channel 2 because I've been assuming it's still blurry. Yung Channel 23 na lang ang pangit. Hope they fix it before the start of the UAAP MBB season.

I use an HDMI splitter to output the signal to my main and secondary TVs. Bought the splitter in CDR king (1 to 2), but one of them went dead after a few months (due to heat from one of my components).

As for the HDMI cable, only found 5m long cables in HDMI. Have one 30m and another 50m long, but I had to buy them from Amazon (for around 20USD each). Beats the price from a local store at 6k.

What is disappointing is that the advertised Dolby Digital Plus Audio.
Does any of Cignal's engineers/technicians no what Dolby Digital sounds like?
My decoder/amplifier can recognize the audio signal as Dolby, but why the hell is the speech audio leaking on all channels! This should be confined to the center speaker.

Ok, Cignal is actively marketing that they offer Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus. But if you watch HBO for example, My AVR Can detect the 5.1 audio or Dolby Digital, but the actual sound is not 5.1. Its not 5.1 if you hear the movie dialogue on all 5 channels, including the rear surround speakers. This is the case on all their HD channels.

On channels offering Dolby Digital Plus, again my AVR can recognize the signal from the stb as Dolby Digital Plus, but this time, there are no dialogue on the two rear surround speakers, but the dialogue can be heard on the 3 front channels.

I have JBL speakers and a harman kardon avr780

Iba na pala yung Mtv ngayon. puro na OPM(Original pilipino Musi) di pala OPM, RPM(Revival Pilipino Music) na pala ngayon. Di katulad noon na may maraming magagandang palabas tulad ng pimp my ride, punked, celebrity death match, jackass, alternative nation, MTV Classic, Boiling Points, vh1 specials at mga live concerts or unplugged. Mas naapreciate ko na ngayon yung channel V. Hehehe. Yung Mtv parang Viva channel lang.

I think there's a glitch on the latest firmware of Pace stb. I was tinkering with my settings on how to display the SD signal. There were 3 choices: stretch, pillar box and cut and top. If stretch or pillar box, no problem. But when I tried the "cut and top", it freezes the screen if my previous channel is HD. Only audio is change but not the video.. I had to restore to factory settings to make it work again..

Cignal is telling us 1,590php subcribers that one of their HD channels is a certified DD+, how can that be? where there hardware(PACE HD STB) HDMI out port only supports stereo audio as what PACE user manual states thus its HDMI port is only ver. 1.2 and below. I tried emailed them about this but so far i got no answer from them, mag 2-weeks na. I would say Cignal is making false claims.

Wala . That DD+ is a lie.
sabi ko nga eh, there's something wrong about this DD+ feature kasi yung AVR ko will just notify sa display nya, that it is only decoding a PCM stereo signal I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong about my cabling coz i'm using a v1.4 HDMI cable. May problema cguro sa kanila STB hardware(PACE HD box) coz the user manual states that its only capable decoding PCM Stereo sa HDMI side thus it's a v1.3 or below na HDMI port. So for now sa Coax port lang muna ako. Cignal grabe naman it seems you guys don't know what your talking about tapos wala pang reply sa email.  >:D

yep, most likely mis-aligned yan...

my dish was also mis-aligned by the typhoon(no channels at all)....just did a DIY alignment fix using the ff: (just from the top of my head, yung 'kodigo' ko nasa bahay)

dish should be pointing at 220 degrees SW
angle of the dish pointing up should be at 65 degrees

I was reassured that a technician will visit within that timeframe and that charges will be adjusted for the service interruption.

if na mis align lang yan you may try to do a left-right adjustment. just tweak it in millimeter kasi sensitive yan.

as for the force upgrade I will not need the new channels and I'm fine with the old plan. Kung ano pinirmahan ko na monthly yun pa rin dapat.

Thanks, sir. Actually, ginawa ko yan after I was frustrated with not being able to contact Cignal. I kept the number of the Cignal territory partner who installed our dish, and asked them if I can negotiate with them directly for a repair visit instead of having to schedule it through Cignal. May charge sila eh - is that appropriate? Kasi kung via Cignal, walang charge. So I said let me try Cignal first. I was also worried I might violate Cignal's T&C if I go directly to the territory partner.

we are paying subscription fee... walang service fee embeded sa monthly fee.
parang appliance lang binili natin, pag tinamaan ng kidlat at nasira hindi kasama sa warranty yun.
unlike sa other services, kasama lagi ang maintenance fee sa charge naka compute na yun.

sa satellite kasi like sa ibang bansa , dapat kabit and forget na yan. kaso sa atin me bagyo kaya meron case na need talaga service.

Post by: xgh0st12x on Jul 29, 2014 at 02:47 PM
To be transparent, hindi yung act of nature ang kine-question ko. No brainer yun.

What i was pertaining to is cignal's responsibility to deploy enough service teams in a timely fashion to re-align dishes of affected subscribers.

Some subscribers have been without service for days if not weeks now.
I dont feel that it is fair to charge a subscriber the full monthly subscription fee if cignal does not provide service/maintenance for misaligned dishes in a timely manner.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Napuntahan na kami finally ng Cignal-appointed technicians. Misaligned lang nga yung dish. If you follow Cignal on Facebook, meron silang DIY video for realigning the dish. Pero medyo mahirap for subscribers like me with dishes that are not easily accessible.

My understanding is after the tech visit, Cignal should make the necessary adjustment to the monthly bill. Hirap lang talaga tumawag sa Cignal to confirm this.

If youre out of the contract period with cignal at this point, that would be a good option.

Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: turismo1997 on Aug 05, 2014 at 03:41 AM
Yup. Madali na sa akin mag decide to terminate yung service nila since matagal ng nag lapse yung contract period nila.

Pangit kasi ng business model nila as far as the existing subscriber is concern.

Naka outsource yung technical side nila kaya hindi mo mapukpok ng masyado. Pakialam naman ng Customer rep nila kaya ang gagawin lang is gagawan ka lang ng incident report.

So the best way is to terminate na lang and discourage any potential subscriber nila.

Calling sir pentium, whats cignal's reaction to fox's recent channel content change?

Dahil sa 'boom' :
http://www.foxsportsasia.com/sportgoesboom/
Yung content which was exclusive sa HD channel lang(ex. live f1 races) na spread out sa ibang fox sports channel, so yung dating nasa HD lang meron dati ay napunta sa SD channel tapos yung lineup ng Fox sports 3 HD channel(old fox sports HD) susunod na lang sa bagong content :-\

I believe the correct question is when will Cignal add the Fox Sports HD and Fox Sports HD2.
Since all Fox sports are now available in HD.

Hoping for that...sana wala rin increase sa monthly in the event cignal adds the remaining fox sports HD channels :)

Mabuhay!

I am a new subscriber of Cignal, keeping my fingers crossed. I am waiting for some documents before activation of my account.  O0

Doon kinabit ng installer

Took a photo of the unit; wow, medyo malakas uminit ang box nila, so i setup a small exhaust fan at the back but unfortunately, for today i turned it off since hindi pa naman sya activated.

Again, keeping my fingers crossed. I still have a cable subscription just in case (knock on wood) ma-experience ko yung mga na-experience na difficulties ng mga subscribers.

God bless

A newbie Cignal subscriber here. So far, OK pa naman service which I got to test agad due to my only complaint so far, ang dali ngang mawala ng signal pag umulan ng malakas or medyo mahangin. Nasagot agad email ko then mabilis din sumagot sa phone. Kaasar nga lang talaga na narasanan agad iyong signal interruption.

You are at the mercy of the dealer. Parang si pontious pilate yang si cignal. Naghuhugas kamay pag me problema na.

Yung house ko meron ng nakaabang na connection for cable tv so no need na magbutas. Pero si cignal dealer di daw puwede sa kanila. Eh pero sa sky pwede naman. All thw while nagtitipid lang pala si cignal dealer sa wiring at extra work kasi sa bubong yung dish and may extra work involve pa para idaan doon sa nakaabang na entry pt for cables.

Mabuhay!

I live in Bacoor (Bahayang Pag-Asa), mag-subscribe sana ako sa Cignal. Kaya lang ang daming kong nababasa at naririnig na problems with signal's quality of service. Parang mas lalo pumapangit ang service nila especially after typhoon glenda. Is it still practical to get their service? Ang habol ko talaga dito ay AFC.

even if you have an existing cable lay out for your home does not guarantee that it can be used for Cignal or any DTH.

they should be able to check, if they determined that it is not within the standard of coax cable then it will not be used and will need to use a new one.

marami rin cases, na maganda ang bahay... yung contractor nilagay na cabling ay "Swan" brand... fake pa. kaya ayun, gamit ng bagong coax cable.

@naphster: Cignal can only be used up to the country where SES7 satellite foot print is available. like... HK, and part of China. Other than those country, sorry but you will not be able to use it.

If postpaid account is under LEASE, No, it cannot be converted to Prepaid.
There is no extension box either for Prepaid accounts. you will end up paying 2 monthly fee.

Fox International Channels Asia/FOX SPORTS ASIA has the broadcast rights for UFC in Asia.........EXCEPT for the Philippines since the current TV broadcast rights holder for UFC locally is Balls TV (Sky Cable/ABS CBN).

The only exception where Fox Sports Asia can air UFC matches for the Philippines is if there is a joint broadcast license or regulatory tie-up (e.g. such as for UFC Macau).

Hello guys, kakasubscribe lang last January 26 with plan 630. Misleading yung nangyari sa case ko ei.. nung nagapply ako..sabi ng agent nila.. free installation ako basta may maipakita akong bill na at least 1500 ang binabayaran ko.. and I have one..PLDT telpad..2200+ per month.. then nung nainstall na..siningil naman ako ng 1200 installation fee + 780 daw na advance... tapos sinabi ko na sinabi ng agent nila na free installation dapat sakin dahil dun sa promo pero sabi nila..hanggang december 2014 lang daw yun... so tinext ko yung agent. Pero as expected, ganun na rin sinabi sakin so no choice na ako.. na2k ako ng wala sa oras instead of wala...kasi ang alam ko din..saka lang din babayaran yung 780 after a month..kasi ganun sa pldt sakin nun.. pero di na lang ako nagreklamo.. then dumating yung e-bill ko kaninang umaga.. ang nakalagay sa total current bill, 1,056.78. Aba ei nasaan na yung advance kung 780? di ko talaga magets...dun sa baba ng AMOUNT DUE, 780.00 Cr, 1,056.78 tapos after the underline..276.78. Anu po babayaran ko dito? yung 1k+ or yung total amount due (after underline) na 270+?

I'm planning to subscribe to cignal tv since di available ang skycable pa sa amin. Medyo hesistant ako due to issues during heavy rains. Sandali lng b nwawala pag malakas ang ulan. Am currently with cablelink pero limited ang hd channels nila. Currently paying 1,200 + 200 extension, ang hd channels nila is fox movies premium, fox action, star world, outdoor channel, national geographic, nat geo people, nba premium tv. Yun lang, tapos analog pa yung mga ibang channel. Palipat lipat ka pa from tv to hdmi vice versa. I'm here in las piñas area. Thanks for the inputs.

in a year, you might experience interruption maybe max of 1 hour accumulated.
that is how slim you will experience rain fade.

but, make sure it is properly installed.

they have cable tv switcher promo. you get 2 months free and 1,000 install discount.

Thanks for the insight. It really helps in my decision making. Their promo of 2 months free and 1k off installation is really enticing. What do you mean by proper installation so i would know once i decide to have cignal installed?

they would take for example Fox channels with those huge channel ID

I just subscribed with their HD plan. PQ is amazing and even in SD channels PQ is so much better than Sky and Destiny (we have those still pa, will be disconnected next week pa). Installer said when i asked what's the reason why some complain of light rainshower and signal is lost, he said, in time (long term use), plus typhoons, are when most sat dish lose their alignment so it would be better to have those checked first.

it was indeed a pulsing move... afterwhich they adjusted down to the 2.5k level
I believe 3k was the ceiling price for the PPV rate as ordered by Solar for residential.

most likely Sky will go up to this 3k level.

Anyone who has tried this from the past Pacquiao fights?

I've watched 2 fights of Manny on PLDT live streaming (against Dela Hoya and Hatton) ... that time it was free dahil trial pa lang, ok naman but it was not HD ... Manny's last fight, Smart and PLDT offered the same thing through Blink (www.blink-now.com) - it was complete disappointment, walang maka-connect sa network nila during the fight, kaya we demanded a refund pero pahirapan pa ... I think that they would still use Blink because it seems to be affiliated by Smart - if this is the case, make sure to have a backup plan, you wouldn't know that it will work until the day of the fight

the Special promo and switcher promo installation discount is now Installation Rebate.
meaning, you will pay up in full, then the 500 or 1000 will be applied as rebate on your bill.

btw, installation fee is MINIMUM 1,000 that can go up depending on the level of difficulty in installing your unit.

the outright purchase plan only re-offered last Month.
basically, it was not available during the time of your subscription.

I would recommend you stay on lease... because even after your lockin period you just pay 100 additional and your box is still under warranty. while cash purchase has only 1 year warranty.

May add 100 pala sa cignal para sa warranty. Sa sky kasi walang add. Since 2008 pa ko subscriber. Ilang beses ng nasira yung box. Wala naman silang siningil na replacement fee
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Yes, because under lease plan subs did not pay the high cost of the box. But now you can get it cash and no more monthly box maintenance fee.

I would prefer prepaid, you can do variable loading of plan or no load no watch at all.

So may way to convert from lease to outright?
Since monthly naman nagbabayad ng MSF,  bawas kaya kung babayaran ko na lang tong box na inussue sa amin since installation?  Or price adjustment sa box?

Kasi virtually nagadd lang ako ng 60pesos monthly from 930php to 990.

Namimiss ko na din yung free-view ng cignal dati.  Haha

Nope, lease plan needs to complete lock in and cannot switch from Postpaid lease to cash. After lock in you can surrender the unit and get a new one, maybe with a free months promo pa :)

Got my account activated in less than 3 days. However, nagkaproblema naman ako sa ppv ng kay pacman vs mayweather. Nagemail sakin ang cignal right after i called telesales, with breakdown pa ng mga bayarin ko na 640 for the subscription and box fee plus 2000 sa ppv and 500 for installation, totalling P3,140. Nung nagpunta na installers, ang sinisingil lang sakin ay 1640 for the installation at walang nakaindicate na nag avail ako ng ppv. Suma total ang binayaran ko e 3640 para mapasama ang ppv. Sayang yung 500. parang walang proper coordination between cignal at territory partners nila. tsk

you didn't say that this was your cignal dealership pentium4... i paid for prepaid pac/may ppv last tuesday pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin naa-activate.  how long does it usually take bago sya i-activate? sayang nga dahil 2.5k din binayad ko pero mukhang hindi naman ina-activate kaagad. you have about 6 contact numbers on your receipt pero either no answer or not working pag tinawagan ko?

:D good thing we haven't loaded it yet... otherwise, will have a hard time for the rebate.
I believe I had it activated already earlier. you may check ch199 now.

We do batch loading, confirmation of PPV on load system, then verification with subscriber.

thanks for the understanding.

for prepaid accounts, your 500 rebate will be converted to load instead pro rated to your current plan.

Napansin ko nawala na ang Sony Channel PH and Australia Plus sa Cignal Prepaid 590.

Instead, ang pumalit ay Warner TV HD.

P.S.
With that said, it would be nice kung nag-expand ang Cignal ng Prepaid plans.

Personally, I wouldn't mind kung gumawa sila ng Prepaid 990 =)

Oh that's good to know.

Anyways, personally I feel na mas maganda if they did two things:
-Make plans in denominations of 100 units (in short, remove plans 175 and 430 ; instead create further prepaid plans like 700, 800, 900 and 1000)
-Move the position ng Cignal logo sa Animax channel 34.

Yun lang =)

Btw, I just realized na meron pala Cignal TV using PLDT Fiber Optic.

Yung TV sa loob ng PLDT Makati Headquarters (Ramon Cojuangco building). Meron Cignal TV sa Customer Service waiting area tapos yung STB nya naka-kabit using Category 5/6 broadband ethernet wire. Tapos ang linaw ng Fox Movies Premium HD. Nice talaga =)

P.S.
Meron rin kaya ang Cignal para sa PLDT DSL? Stable pa rin ba sya? (Or mas advisable ba na Fiber Optic ang gamitin)

Tanong ko lang sa mga Cignal insiders. Talaga bang ang tagal ng mga Cignal customer service to attend your concern? Concern ko kasi gusto ko sana i-convert to prepaid yung HD account ko kasi naka 2 years na ako sa cignal last may. Nag email ako last monday den yung automatic reply lang tapos hanggang ngayon wala pang action si Cignal. Gusto ko nalang ipa putol yung account ko kasi ang hina nila sa customer service.

Talaga bang you have to pay VAT on top of your plan? First time ko with cignal and akala ko pag plan 830 ka, all you pay is P830 a month. But was surprised to see vat being added to it.  I believe we have a law na dapat inclusive na yung vat sa prices, specially pag contracts like these.

Sa Sky Cable, included na yung VAT sa Plan price - I am on Dual Def Plan P990, this is all that you pay, they even break it up in the bill: Charges = 883.93, VAT (12%) = 106.07 = P990

Although there's no law that prices should incorporate the VAT (e.g., most restaurants incorporate, some like Wendy's do it as an add-on), customers naturally feel bad when it's added on. You can complain, or best action is to switch!

Sir, dapat included na VAT sa P830. We have the same plan, and my latest statement of account shows P830 with the following breakdown:

Subscription Charge P741.07
12% VAT                    88.93
Total                       P830.00

migrated to skycable plan 1999 coming from cignal plan 1590, reason cignal has only one hd sport channel(fox 3 hd) to offer aside from NBA HD. skycable has fox 1,2 and 3 and more sport channels.

Double check mo kse kahit decoded ng avr mo 5.1, yung boses lumilitaw sa lahat ng speakers (5), instead na sa center speakers lang. Pakinggan mo.

Hi sirs, backreading as a new Cignal subscriber.. Plan 490.. (4 of 5 HD's are decoding quite well on HDMI DolbyD+ through HDMI (Yamaha RX-V465) ), however, on HBO HD, the Center Ch is muted.. nasa FL and FR ang vocals..

Also wondering why if setting the STB to PCM defaults the HDMI output to 2CH only, thus Im only able to use Pro-LogicII,, (but well, better than the DD+ na walang center ch output na rin..)

Havent tried today though, kung STB=PCM out; COAX to AVR, if it can decode that "raw" audio to DD while on HD channels..

A higher prepaid plan offering would be nice. Halimbawa:

-Cignal Prepaid 790
-Cignal Prepaid 890
-Cignal Prepaid 990

Pero I don't know kung willing sila mag-implement ng Ala Carte option. As a TV service provider, you have to create a certain level of infrastructure para ma-implement sya.

So imho, malabo magkaroon ng Ala Carte service ang Cignal.......pero who knows, I could be wrong. Tingnan nalang natin in the future.

^^ Sir defjam, I think rain fade is really unavoidable if you're subscribing to Cignal. Pero sa experience ko, hindi naman automatically nawawala yung signal pag may ulan. Minsan pa nga, moderate na yung ulan pero may signal pa rin. I guess you just need to be prepared for signal loss when it starts raining very hard and it becomes very cloudy.

I'm on Plan 830 and I just get charged the monthly subscription fee plus VAT. Walang tech fee.

Masaya ako sa Cignal (formerly sa Skycable ako). Lalo na na merong PBA in HD :) For sure 'yung upcoming FIBA OQT coverage sa Cignal, HD rin.

Na realize ko lang kse lately na hindi na ako masyadong nanunuod ng ibang programs sa Cignal. NBA HD lang pinapanuod ko (+ BTV, Fox Sports, Studio 23, or anything NBA). My 2 kids di talaga nanunuod. Facebook, IG, Youtube na lang or movies. Ako downloaded contents and youtube na lang lagi via WDTV and Chromecast. So I am really thinking of getting rid of the Cignal and just subscribe to NBA League pass and just watch games via Chromecast. Plus a abs cbn mahiwagang black box na lang.

Sa tingin ko as long na ung prepaid mo is active and nasa system nila gagana yan with the postpaid account if may postpaid ka. pero if prepaid lahat sa tingin ko gagana pa din yan multi box basta ipaparegister mo sa cignal.

guys queation lang.. kakainstall lang ng cignal cable namin kanina and isa sa bilin ng nag install is iwang nakabukas yung digibox for 3 days para pumasok daw lahat ng channels.. ganun ba talaga yun or need ko talaga sundin?

Baka ibig sabihin niya leave it plugged in sa power lang. Pag lumitaw na yung green light activated na siya.

Tsaka isang bagsak lahat ng channels ng plan mo papasok dapat.

nagtataka nga kami sir kasi kahit mga pinsan ko yun ang pagkakaintindi.. pero nung inopen and dinemo yung box may green light talaga siya and kapag naka off naka lit pareho yung red and green led indicator..
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable

Isa lang. Pag tama na yung oras na naka indicate sa box ibig sabihin din nag sync na siya
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: Setra on Apr 02, 2017 at 06:37 PM
Yes sir naka sync na nga yung oras and may channel list na.. waiting for activation na lang.. talaga po ba tatawagan muna for verification bago nila iactivate yung subscription? kanina lang kasi kami nakabitan tapos bukas may wrestlemania and the walking dead.. was hoping na maactivate within 24 hours..

Di ko lang alam. Sunday din kasi ngayon. Wala sila support pag weekend. Pero itawag niyo na bukas ng 8am para i-follow up yung activation. Sandali lang naman din dapat yun.

^ Yup. The only value to me of ABS-CBN S+A is the UAAP telecast. But that's available via streaming, which I don't think ABS-CBN can also discontinue.

I'd really like to know what happened here. SkyCable is advertising the availability of the NBA Playoffs just on their channel and Fox Sports - not a good sign that the issue with Solar is going to be resolved soon.

EDIT: Meron na uling ABS-CBN S+A sa Cignal.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: radiohead on Apr 13, 2017 at 11:01 AM
ABS-CBN has licensed the NBA ganes directly from the NBA. Ang problema, Solar has the NBA rights on local cable channels. So ABS can show all the games they want basta hindi sa cable channels. I think Solar wants ABS to pay them if they show the games in skycable. Magulo.

Nagkaroon ng BBC Earth HD pero ginawa naman SD ang Fox Crime (Cignal said sa fb page nila na expired ang contract nila for the HD feed kaya revert to SD).

Then may HD version na sila ng Fox Sports 1 and 2.....pero I heard na hindi na HD ang Fox Sports 3.

Cool..

I just had my Cignal TV activated today, it's via the PLDT Fibr triple play.  I noticed that there's a lot of channels having pixelization, some are bearable, some are not.  Have you encountered similar issues, and what's the resolution done by PLDT?  I tried calling Cignal, but they can only support those with the satellite dish and they are referring me to call PLDT.  I'm also thinking if it's just the HDMI cable.  Thanks in advance for any feedback.

(edit) reason for the issue was that it was not yet fully activated.  After activation, all channels have good picture quality :)

sa PLDT nga dapat yan, IPTV kasi yan unlike nung Cignal satellite.  Haven't experienced it with my Cignal satellite, ang na experience ko eh mawalan ng signal pag malakas ulan hehe.

if you have extra HDMI cable, you can try to use it. also check for loose connections.

Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus meaning kaya  i-decode ang 7.1 channels.

I use it once in a while sa movies and the NBA, knowing fully well that not all channels are really equipped with true Dolby Digital sound.  Sa HBO, iba pa rin pag bluray yun source ko.  Mas buo yun sound.  Sa NBA naman,  hmmm, mas maganda pa rin yun tunog ng NBA 2k17 ng anak ko.. mas rinig mo yun talbog ng bola at swish ng net.  But hey, it's better than TV.  I'm sure the NBA Finals will be a treat.

For me, the good channels with dolby surround are Discovery, Nat Geo, History and CNN.  Buo yun sound and close to real dolby.

I would recommend the one from PLDT as you do not have to worry about the dish, but you also have to subscribe to their DSL or Fibr Internet.  Picture quality is just the same, and the one from PLDT seems not to be that affected by bad weather.

Ako. Switched from Sky to Cignal due to NBA premium and UFC. Halos same picture quality if not better ang Cignal. Plus on Dolby audio on some HD channels and cheaper plans. Negative when it rains heavily, it loses signal. But for only about 10-15mins even if it continues to rain. So far, I'm satisfied.

Transferred to Cignal P490 from Skycable  dual def plan P545. Overall signal and sound is much better with dolby digital. My skycable signal is pixelated lately. Im so happy with hyperhd (ufc) and nba hd channel included in the plan. Hope signal doesn't deteriorate when it rains hard.

It has to be a bad rg6 cable, since the "bad" box was ok when transferred to another TV with a different coax cable.

Possible yung coax cable nga din. Try swapping the connections nung coax sa splitter mismo.

Possible na sa splitter din

TV ok
HDMI ports and cables ok
Boxes ok

Coax cable to splitter na lang need i-isolate

Bad trip aug 8 pa ako nag call in and they gave me an account number. For some reason the havent come to my place for ocular. 3 times na ako tumawag to followup wala pa rin up to today. I never have any luck basta associated sa pldt.

Im thinking kasi going dual, sky and cignal. 490 per month just for the nba premium. I do have nba league pass pero sometimes mas sarap sa cable tv. Smoother and can relax to watch the replay at night  and 11pm for nba game time show.

Bad trip talaga so far with cignal, imgine how many days i have to wait for them.

I think much better service ang sky.

Parang ang liit ng chance na dumumi siya lalo pag may naka connect na cable na hindi naman ina-unplug na.

Unless for some reason may corrosion due to humidity which is kinda unlikely din. Could be the HDMI part of the tv board acting up which would be a pita

Ya bad trip nga. I called them 3 times already to follow up. Suppose to be aug 10 ang ocular. My latest followup was last night thru phone again. Wala pa rin today.  I will try again tonight.

Well finally got it installed yesterday. Going dual with this and sky cable. Paying 490 a month just for the nba premium.

Is it worth it? Maybe, just because of nba.  Will i go cignal if sky have nba premium? No

Satellite dish is really not for me. With the strong rain now, wala na signal. It says Set top box is unavailable to receive signal, check cables etc. Etc. But it does come back after several minutes.

Hi! I'm having a problem with my Cignal Plan 830. My tv is TCL 55E5900 1080p. When I press the MENU button on the remote, the picture on the small preview screen on the upper left side is very clear. It is really digital quality. However, when I return to the full screen mode, the picture becomes cloudy, blurry, and certainly not digital quality. I switched to my local cable and antenna. The pictures from those 2 non-digital sources are way better than that of Cignal. Anyone has the same problem? Please help me. Thanks!

Besides being locked, you have to subscribe to another plan on Cignal, plus those are old Roku models - Roku 3 I think ... better to purchase the newer Roku models outside, then subscribe to Sling or Direct TV now

I'm about to drop my Cignal Cable via PLDT Fibr, been having issues with garbled image for almost three months, and even with almost daily calls to 171, they cannot get a technician to fix the issue ... PLDT support really sucks big time, Cignal provides better support for those using the dish ... I went to PLDT office last Monday to report the issue directly and requested for a refund, and have the subscription cut without any penalties - the customer care officer requested to give them another chance and they'll have it attended the following day, I agreed, but unfortunately no technician showed up, so I'm done and moving back to Cablelink

Hello po.. Regarding po sa prepaid kits.. Depende po yan kung saan ang area mo kasi meron ding nagbebenta na mga dealers.
Maraming Cignal territory partner naka distribute sa buong pilipinas.

Hmm..  Sa experience namin regarding sa mga extension box na hindi ginagamit for than two months madali lang yan re-activate provided na hindi "disconnected" yung account mo or on time ka parati mag bayad.

The other way po ay pwede nyo tawagan ang Cignal hotline para maka hingi ng temporary disconnection tapos specify mo rason regarding sa disconnection. This is applicable lalo na sa meron mga Cignal postpaid account na hindi nila magamit yung TV nila dahil either nasira for repair or nag aantay ng replacement.

Sir boom_box1987, naginstall ng digibox sa bahay ang cignal last tuesday.  Part sya ng best buy bundle ng PLDT.  Sabi nung tech na naginstall, waiting period of 24-48 hrs bago ma-activate.  Friday na, wala pa din kami signal from Cignal.  Tried to call cignal hotline, ang sabi di pa daw registered yung account.  Then tumawag ako sa PLDT, activated naman daw.  3 days ko na pinapanuod ung ads ng Cignal.

Yan problema sa side ng PLDT IPTV.. Hindi kasi namin makita yung STB and Smart Card number pag naka allocate na siya for IPTV. Si PLDT lang makaka activate sa ganyang decoder.
Confirm ko lang, Are they still using the Pace DS830NPT or Skyworth HS8871 STB para sa mga IPTV?

Ano kaya added benefit nito compared sa Plan 1590 Postpaid?

How about expanded channel lineup? Yung BEIN Sports 1-3 nila is in HD?

FYI, eto na po talaga dinedeploy ni Cignal sa mga new HD subscribers. If ma sira din yung current postpaid STB boxes or under warranty prepaid STB boxes. Chances are yan na rin ipapalit sa inyo. Phaseout na kasi etong Skyworth HD7400A dahil EOL na yung chipset. Tapos may advantage si Conax vs NDS encryption kasi wala na siyang smart card na ginagamit.

Alin sa dalawang Skyworth? HS8871 or HD7400A?
Sa experience namin mas maraming sira itong si HS8871 like random rebooting, sirang tuner, no power especially if more 5 years na yung decoder box.

Si HD7400A naman bihira lang pero common issue niya ay biglang nalang mag factory reset yung box tapos pag turn on mo ay nasa First Installation Setup. Not a big a deal at all pero weirdo na issue yan sa HD7400A

Pag ni-unplug from power yung original box, the 2nd box will lose connection as well.

Ganun ba talaga? May dependency talaga sa primary box yung extra boxes? TIA

Each box should work independently. I had that same issue before. Call Cignal tech support. They can help you fix it.

Not sure but you can try this

Setup - System Setup - PIN (0000 or 9998) - Installation Setup - Satellite Setup - LNB Type - Dual Band

It looks like naka slave ata yung 2nd addbox mo sa primary box mo. Usually kasi pag gumamit ka ng 2-way or 3 way splitter dapat gagana lahat ng boxes mo.

Minsan ginagawa din namin during pag may tech visit kami sa mga subs. We turn off the LNB Power sa LNB settings sa mga boxes para isa lang ang mag supply kasi minsan nag aagawan lang ng 18 volts sa lahat ng boxes pero usually nangyayari lang ito sa mga lumang decoder like yung Skyworth HS8871 or Samsung decoder.

Medyo hassle but, the subscription comes with free access to Fox+ where you can watch the UFC fights. Cast na lang sa TV or if you have an Android box you can load the app there as well.

Been a cignal subscriber since 2011 pero after the upcoming pacquiao fight this July 2019, I will give this up already. Wala nang nanunuod ng Cignal sa amin. Nag subscribed na din kse ako ng NBA LEague pass. NBA, Netflix and youtube directly na sa roku stick ko. I might as well just get an EasyTV for the nba premium and local channels for news. So no need for the Cignal na.

Im thinking of ditching out cignal after my contract expires...
Halos bihira na ako manood sa cignal...

I might just get Tv plus then for watching news and local shows..
Since most of the time din naman, netflix na ginagamit ko...
I might just add nba league pass for nba...
Im thinking either amazon prime, hooq or fox+ as a supplement for netflix...
Any recommendation among the three whats best supplement?

Sunday, Sept 1 - USA v. Czech Republic
Tuesday, Sept 3 - USA v. Turkey
Thursday, Sept 5 - USA v. Japan   

The Turkey game (Osman, Ilyasova, Korkmaz) should be a good one. It would also be interesting to see how Japan fares with Hachimura.

3. YouTube for my daily dose of videos. Heck even the PBA is shown on YouTube thru ESPN 5.
4. HOOQ - included in my Globe Platinum plan.

Even with their top tier plan with 30 HD channels, there really is nothing worth watching na din talaga.

I might just end up with just a TV Plus for the local channels then everything over the internet na using an Android box or just the Android box na lang.

Kanina i requested for a downgrade to plan 290 and was told plan 520 lang daw lowest na pwede which pretty much is the same as the legacy plan im on at 600+/month.

Kausapin ko na lang neighbor ko if he wants to continue it himself kasi naka extension lanh siya sa akin.

Currently kasi yung main box binigay ko na sa kanya and i had the extension box disconnected na.

Have them convert it into a prepaid account. para if feel mo mag cable ulit, you can just load up for a month.

twice i checked, they can't convert mine to a prepaid. need new application daw. can't downgrade either to the lowest postpaid plan.

wala man lang silang retention efforts when i said i am considering cancelling the service na.

^how did you request for it? call? email? chat?

im almost 6 years already so im pretty sure my lock in period has passed. could it be because im using the older type box with card?

Via call sir. Sabi pa pa disconnect ko na since tapos na ko sa lock in period. Then nag offer na pa pre paid ko na lng. Ma retain ko pa yun box.  ;D

so i just got off the phone and i got the same answer as previous. bwisit lang. paputol ko na lang. walang kwenta.

yung lowest postpaid plan na 290 pwede lang daw for new subs at plan 420 lang ang lowest na pwede to downgrade to.

Halos wala ng exclusive channels ang cignal:
Eto nalang at exclusive nila (to name a few)
Pba rush
One sports
Colours
Bbc

Vs sa skycable: (to name a few also)
Abs hd
S&a hd
Cinema one
Liga

Kung e analyze mo maigi parang mas ok na ang mga lineup ng skycable

Ang advantage lang talaga ng Cignal was NBA Premium HD.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: oznola on Oct 18, 2019 at 01:13 PM
^agreed. NBA na nga lang nawala pa. Isama na din pagkawala ng UFC.

Now that i think more about it, hindi na din talaga need ang regular cable TV. everything is pretty much via the internet na so wala na value pa ang subscription natin with them when we can get mostly online.

once i establish my Android box setup, i'll have my Cignal subscription cut for good na.
Title: Re: Cignal satellite cable
Post by: oznola on Oct 18, 2019 at 01:27 PM
to tell a bit of a story, last month i was given a Cignal box na activated na with the top plan 1990 for just a one time payment of 1.5K (colorum in short).

i had the extension box cancelled then yung main box na pinagamit ko dun sa kapitabahay ko who pays me 350/month.

I have been using the colorum box and last week na downgrade yung plan to a lower one(520 ata). hindi pa din naibabalik sa top plan nung tiga Cignal na nag bigay and i'm not expecting na maibalik pa.

Plano ko once i get my Android TV setup by next week, i'll have my subscription cancelled na then itong colorum box na lang ipapagamit ko dun sa kapitbahay ko hanggang may connection pa and still get 350/month for it.

kung tatagal pa siya ng 4-5 months, nabawi ko na yung 1.5K, beyond that parang naibabalik paunti unti yung investment ko sa Android TV setup.

Im thinking of getting also either fox + or amazon prime.

Cignal is doing some loyalty check / survey calls nowadays, they called us to check if we're still happy with their service or channels being offered. We said that if they won't bring back NBA premium tv, then we will cancel. they also said that there's an on-going negotiation with NBA, and when I asked if ever they will get the rights to broadcast NBA will there be an additional cost or it will still included in the plan, too bad they don't know yet but my hunch is it will be like that of Sky cable wherein it is an additional php350/month.

next month pa disconnect ko na. been a subscriber of Netflix for years na din, then yung kids ko usually YouTube na lang nanunuod, for our local channels we have tvplus na, and for other tv series na wala sa Netflix I installed Catmouse app in my MiBox https://morphtv.net/catmouse-apk/ and for NBA games and UFC balik-luob ako sa Mobdro.

Today, i had my subscription downgraded to Fox Plan 420 from plan 640. My neighbor will be the one continuing the service.

I get to retain access to Cignal Play because of this so that's something i can still use. I have Cignal Play sideloaded on my Mi Box S.

weird lease plans now of cignal.  they increased the prices of box from 1k to 2k. then pag nasira they will offer you lease option 150 a mo. but main box wont need to pay 150mo even if its at lease plan. gulo dba? before i paid outright. tapos kakapalit palang ng 3 sub boxes ko all under 1k. now nasira na main box ko and was ready to pay for a new box. gulat ako na they said if i convert to lease option. libre 1st box.

Nag post ang Cignal sa FB and twitter kagabi na nagkaroon sila ng technical problem yesterday which affected all subscribers. Pero late na sila nag-update - hours after the outage. And they were unresponsive to DMs prior to that. This kind of service certainly won’t help their efforts to retain customers.

Yes. I guess the pandemic and the resulting uncertainty in the NBA's operations after this season also gave the MVP Group some leverage.

Kwento ko lang sa yo baka maging interested ka. Years ago plano ko din i-terminate Cignal ko nung nawala NBA. Sabi nung agent suggest nya instead na terminate ko gawin ko na lang pre paid. Ayun, pumayag ako. So lagi lang syang walang load di ko ginagamit, pero pag NBA season na dun na ako nag lo-load. Me choices din ng load and mga channels. So like now na walang NBA, walang load so di ko sya ginagamit, wala akong binabayaran. Baka lang din ma isipan mo yun.
