Cignal Introduces TV-To-Go OTT Service

First there was just radio, then television and after a few decades came the advent of cable tv and since then, home viewing is never the same with clear viewing and lots of channels to choose from around the world.

One brand braved the cable tv scene about four years ago and has since reached several milestones -- Cignal Digital TV.  Under the PLDT Group of Companies, Cignal has been aggressive in its sales and marketing efforts that it has surpassed the 500,000-subscriber mark.  A High Definition (HD) cable provider, Cignal continues to push for new technology that will change the television viewing experience (and even viewing habit) for Filipinos.

At the recent launch event held at the Conservatory of the Peninsula Manila, Cignal introduced a new way to watch tv shows while on the move: Cignal TV-To-Go.  It is Cignal's new service that allows viewers to watch real-time broadcast feeds of Cignal channels on their broadband connected Smartphones or Tablets.  Now, Cignal Digital TV subscribers can watch their favorite shows while in transit to work, while waiting in a cafe or while on vacation in the province.  

"The shows that you follow will now follow you."
- Annie Naval, Managing Director & COO of Cignal

Since the Cignal TV-To-Go launch is currently on its beta phase and is offered for free to all Cignal Postpaid subscribers with Android devices on the Smart or PLDT broadband networks. The service will initially be available on mobile devices that run on the Android Jelly Bean operating system but it will be open to more Android devices and even iOS devices in the next few months.
