    Are there any Dream Satellite TV users in the area? I am out of range from wired service providers. Can't find much about Dream on the net. Thanks

    PatO - I'm looking also. I saw a working display set up in LimKetKai mall for another company called Cignal and they have a very impressive web page but no prices for installation or monthly fees. I emailed them and got no reply. You might try them also.
    If you find out anything on any company please let me (us) know.

    So my neck is sore from long hours propped up on pillow watching dream satellite so that is good credit to my ability to offer advise yeah? Any way when I shopped fro my dish service I found 2 service provideres ans I dont mean the installers but the program options.Dream sattelite offered the most programs for 650 a month or they also offer a lesser 350 a month program schedule..My installers were at POS in between lee plaza and Uni Top on Perdices street,same street as Mcdonalds with BPI across the street..It was about 7000.oo peso install and equipment included right down to batteries in the remote..then I reload with calling card every month from POS store or at robinsons,one of the cell phone stores there sells dream satellite load cards..Dont get a crick in your neck like I do from watchin TV all day..

    Does Dream support multiple tv's? Or, will each need its own box/dish? Do you know if they offer internet as well?

    I am in a location where satellite is my best option so thanks for the post.

    Tom, I believe that all systems are the same as Directv that I had in the US. At least from what I read on the Cignal website, it is the same. You must have a seperate box for each tv set in order to watch different channels at the same time. Now if you want the same channel on different tv sets, then that is just a splitter thing. In the case of Directv, I paid the monthly fee for the first box and $5.00 extra each month for each of my other 2 boxes. All three boxes shared one satellite dish but used a "multiple feed-horn" (LNB)
    I have not heard of anyone offering satellite Internet her like Hughes does in the US.

    Are there different packages you can select to get more or less channels? Do you still get the local channels (for wifey)? The two tv questions by Tom is a good one. I will go to POS tomorrow and post when I return. Thanks Tunji and Ron./

    Also, what is the bad news? lousy reception during inclimate weather? How is normal reception? Where do you pay the bill? Thanks

    I have Cignal with their HD Package here, awesome quality :smile: at P1290 a month

    1 box per TV though, i am sure they can change the LNB to support more than one box so you will only need one dish on the wall.

    Thanks everyone, my problem is solved. Happy to hear we have two satellite tv offerings to choose from; Cignal and Dream.
