where to buy G_SAT unit in dgte

Hey guys,

I don't know dumaguete too well... Where can I buy G_Sat unit? And if someone knows, how much would it be?

thanks.

 

Harold, what is a G_Sat unit?

 

PatO, it is a DTH satellite like Cignal...
I hope it's fine to put a link here. But this is where I found info about this: First United Broadcasting Corp. - GSAT

 

Harold, this is interesting, please keep us posted on your progress. I have both Cignal and Dream dishes and found out the dishes are interchangeable, just need the unique box. I would think you could buy the inexpensive Dream dish and the GSAT box. I wonder if this is the same Direct TV available in the US. Their Philippines tv channels look similar to Cignal but with additional channels.
For information, Cignal and Dream have combined their Dumaguete services operating out of POS.
I am still waiting for more information on the military satellite receiver Travellingman is/was offering for sale.

 

PatO, someone told me GSAT is cheaper than Dream and Cignal. I will try to ask from POS if they're also offering GSAT aside from the two you mentioned.

I tried contacting GSAT's customer service through email earlier but I was referred to their Cebu branch. The thing is, I know someone from Sibulan who's using GSAT and he said he purchased the unit just here in Dumaguete. So I was wondering what shop/store offers it here.

Thanks for the replies PatO, really appreciate it!

Regards,

Harold

 

I just heard an advertisement from POS saying they are the only GSAT dealer in town

 

Cignal costs me 1280 a month plus whatever the installation charge was. Dream is cheaper but you don't get HD channels, unless that has changed recently. I looked at GSAT on the internet and it looks like the Philippines charge is 300 a month so definately worth checking out.

 

Thanks ViperACR, will surely check POS if they are offering it now.

 

Someone told me yesterday it's around P2500/unit... at P300/month with 28 channels, it's a good deal. Thanks PatO!

 

Took me a while to find their site: First United Broadcasting Corp. - GSAT

Looks very good at 600 a month with HD channels... I pay more than double for Cignal!
