sa CIGNAL, doble ang aparato mo. TV apparatus at Cignal apparatus.. so doble ang elecric bill mo! aside from messy connection because of signal cone attach to your roof. konti na ang channel, mahal pa ang monthly payment.
MAG Skycable ka na lang or Home cable. Dami na channel at cable lang ang gamit nila. direct sa TV(RF). walang apparatus so tipid kuryente.. mura pa Monthly.. at higit sa lahat, pwde kang mag splitter kung marami TV mo sa bahay! sa Cignal isang aparato, isang tv.. hindi pwede spliter.
Buti nman maraming complaints sa Cignal,,ang ayaw ko lang sa Cignal yung mga channel nila ino-offer sa 390pesos,,kunti lang kasi…hehehe!!!

Haha good thing i visited yugatech bago ko mag subscribe sa Cignal. Hindi na ko papakabit, syempre mas maganda pa rin magbasa ng feedback ng mga customer kesa magbasa ng adds nila. Stay na lang ako with SkyCable.
Thanks guys.

ako may cignal tv may 3months na free subscription pero ng matapos 3months di na ko makapagpaload pre-paid kc yung sa akin. di ko na macontact ang cignal useless lahat ang phone number nila kahit mag email sa kanila para kunin ko ang account number ko 2wks wala pa rin sagot kaya di ko rin nagagamit ang cable nila.
eh di swap mo sa ibang DTH gaya ng GSAT or Dream..
okey sana ang cignal ko kaso kung advance ako mag bayad cutoff ang cignal, punta ulit sa offc para report sa kanila. un mga staff nila walang kwenta pasok ka sa offc. nila wala man goodmorning or good afternoon wala cla mudo kailangan ikaw muna ang mag salita sa kanila, sa offc. ng olongapo
eh di mg GSAT ka na lng di pa sakit sa ulo kasi yung loading nya is by year ang every 6 months at hindi monthly,di pa hassle yun..
i don’t thing i have to spend P1,290 for TV na redundant channel e.g. my Nat Geo SD kana my NAt Geo HD pa, HBO and HBO HD, Star Movies and Star Movies HD. What’s the point of having the same programming? Sayang lng ang binabayaran mo. Ang dapat nilang gawin is to separate SD package from HD. Dpt kung sino lng ang gusto na magkuha ng HD or para magkaroon ng better option ang mga tao.
their marketing is also very deceiving. they (Cignal) say na my HD kana 4 only P290. Mali yun kasi ang P290 package are consist of free-to-air channels that are broadcast in SD. Hindi ba pangloloko yan sa tao? If you haven’t done your research d mo tlaga malalaman na mahal ang Cignal compared to other DTH providers.
Try to see their P390 package: most of it are free-to-air channels with a extremely boring Bio Channel, Viva Cinema, and PBO. And for me, the ONLY entertaining channels are AXN, BTV, and HBO. I do find CNN interesting, but do you watch CNN like everyday? An average Filipino don’t even watch CNN at all! How can you find value to your money if I have to pay 390 bucks just to get SEVEN premium channels (given that i just consider Viva and PBO a piece of crap and my computation exclude free-to-air channels since you can access it any time via old school antenna!)
Trust me! I’ve been a Cignal subscriber for over a year and im telling you you’ll get bored with the programming they are offering you. I honestly can’t afford HD packages so I switch to Dream Satellite TV to get more premium channel like Discovery Ch., Nat Geo, etc. And DREAM is not that bad, kung ang Cignal on scale of 0-10 where 10 is very clear, i think i’ll give them a 9 and DREAM is 8.
SO think twice before subscribing to Cignal!
Tama!!! pero How about sa GSAT?? mura din yan di ba???
Ask ko lang po itong cignal connection, hindi po ito wired feed galing sa cable outlet sa labas ng bahay? bale ang connection kukunin po ba sa naka feed na satellite dish? kung ganun po, pang iwas tapping po pala ito hehe good
Cignal Digita TV is #1 on Picture Quality.
Dream Satellite TV is #1 on Signal Quality.
Gsat Direct TV is 1# on Affordability.
Whats the best Satellite Cable for you?
For me its not all about Technical stuff..
Its all about the channel list they offer..

You guys explain it well! I guess Dream is a better choice since it is in the middle of the road using your category of cost, signal strength, and picture quality. Sayang parang wala kayong dealership here in Davao. I could have bought both my Cignal and Dream from you guys. Two thumps up for your company!
CIGNAL service is a pure dissapointment! I regret subscribing to its service. You can only enjoy the service whenever its sunny otherwise no signal! Worse, Mediascape has the gall to collect monthly advance payments to its subscribers…what a greedy company this is!
oo mukhang pera ang cignal. nasira nga ang satellite namin sa bagyo tapos tumawag kmi sa hotline nila sbi may fee pa un pg gawa ng satellite nila. kapal ng mukha.
walang kwenta ang cignal!! pati mga staff ndi consistent s pagkuha ng info ng customer. kainis! pag mag pafollow-up ka hihingin ulit name mo.. etc.. hays.. 4 times hiningi saken ung name ko, address, etc.. tapos nung sinabi kong ipapacancel ko na. binabaan agad ako ng telephone. Bastos!!!
Cignal TV customer care sucks… So if you can see clear TV stations with your aerial antenna, stay to that and get far away from the worst service ever!
Ever experienced a customer talking with the customer rep, explaining your side, and suddenly… beep beep beep busy tone?
