Hi there guys.

any advice would be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.

Based on satellite footprints, no chance of SES7 in Melbourne.
SES9 which is co-located with SES7 at 108.2°E has good signal in Melbourne, but does not carry Cignal TV.
You could contact Cignal TV and check. care@cignal.tv
No chance, for Philippines tv you want cband 138E or 91.5e
Mabuhay kabayan, yes telstar 18 138E and intelsat19 166E c band is what you need or streaming. I can help if you want. Magsabi ka lang . . . .
91.5E 138E and I forgot 166E too! so you really need at least a moveable 2.3 M cband setup
thankyou for your replies. i do have a 2.4 meter mesh cband dish myself and i do have tuned it into IS19. i have have the channels scanned and tommorrowmy cousin will bring the box i will try to see if it works on cband or i will try his card in one of my decoders. Would the keys be the same for his smartcard from cignal tv with the philippine channels or as said above is there no hope at all.
From what I can see on Lyngsat, all those C-Band satellites listed above cover Melbourne, but they don't have Cignal TV channels.
It appears that Cignal TV is only available on SES7 Ku Band.
You will need a different decoder for IS19 cband philippines one that does power vu
i have scanned in my cband dish and have opened up powervu channels on is19 but not all of them using oscam emu on dm800se .
As mtv mentioned in post #3 i may have a chance with SES9 with Ku band
If i really wanted to access additional content from the philippines would i be correct in saying i would need to get a sky direct box with sub on SES9 and or G Sat Direct with sub and box as opposed to cignal on SES7 which is impossible.
Would i have a chance then or should i just stick with what i can get on powervu with is19 cband and give up on ku all together as far as philippines goes.
I noticed if i can access sky direct and G sat direct tv on SES9. most of the channels from cignal tv are covered in these 2 providers together except for a few like hyper etc ....
any additional advice would be appreciated .
thanking you in advance
The Cignal box will not work on 166e. For that I use a Manhattan Starlight 6900 USB HD stb.
It has option for firmware upgrade by wifi and opens the Powervu channels on 166E and other satellites that have Powervu. It also has the BISS system which can be updated by USB stick.

IF EVOLUTION WORKS, WHY SO MANY IDIOTS?
The cignal tv service doesnt cover Australia, so give up on that idea,
Hence me saying for Philippines channels most of what you are after can be gotten via cband 91.5E 138E and 166E , I forgot you need to add in APstar 7 @ 76.5E as well
i know and i acknowledge cignal tv system does not cover Australia but sky direct and G sat direct tv on SES9 from what i understand by mtv in post 3. Is that correct or am i misunderstanding
i was looking here
According to the SES9 website, some of Australia is covered by its Ku footprint, including Melbourne.
But as mentioned, SES9 doesn't carry the CignalTV channels.
SES7 and SES9 have different footprints and channels.
Unless something's changed and not reflected on the SES website, I'd be more inclined to think the satellite operator (SES) information would be more reliable than what is posted on Lyngsat.

so what you are saying is it may be possible to get SES9 in melbourne if i was to go for G Sat service or sky direct .
