Cignal Digital TV is the newest subscription-based Direct-To-Home (DTH) satellite television service provider in the Philippines. Cignal is owned by MediaScape, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the MediaQuest Holdings, Inc. under the PLDT Beneficial Trust *Fund.[1]

For subscribers to receive Cignal broadcasts, they must acquire upon subscription the satellite dish antenna, remote control, and the set top box (Integrated Receiver-Decoder). Cignal’s prepaid electronic loading system, is powered by the prepaid loading platform of Smart Communications, Inc., making it convenient for subscribers to continuously enjoy Cignal’s services via over-the-air loading.[2] Cignal uses VideoGuard encryption system to protect its content from signal piracy. MediaScape is utilizing the NSS-11 satellite of SES to provide optimal coverage directly to the target markets.[3]

As of 2009, Cignal is initially available in Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna and Iloilo, but it was now expanding including Metro Manila and other key cities in the Philippines. Also available in Cebu[4][5]
