I find it very interesting that space communications technology is providing a more global and more real time service, especially in the remote areas.  However, I do have concern that the conglomerates, operated by powerful companies in the Philippines would be the bottleneck once again, in spite of the improvements in orbital satellites.   

Maybe not an issue if you don't have to deal with Filipino conglomerates? These new sat internet companies are US or EU based.

There are electronic tracking antennas now. I believe the same basic principle behind advanced military radars.

Ahh yes I do remember reading about those at some point... this must be what happens after you retire, the technology keeps advancing and your brain doesn't  :89:

I have Cignal mainly because of the additional channels it has over G-Sat - EPL football in particular being an attraction.

As for signal quality,  only when we have a downpour does the signal go off, no happy medium - perfect or nothing!  I see a few people have covered their receiver with a plastic bottle but I'm unsure how effective this really is.

Cignal offer a stand alone package for Bein Sports covering channels 1/2/3. Bein Sports 1 is in HD and has EPL games - Bein 2 and 3 are SD and have a mixture of EPL and other games and sports.  It is not included in any of the standard packages but is available as a stand alone at 500php per month but you must be subscribing to a standard package as well i.e. you cannot just have Bein and nothing else.  I have the 1050php package and added Bein last August.   I used the live chat function to add - very fast and efficient.

Our messages crossed - Bein 1 is in HD and shows EPL and Bein 2 and 3 have EPL at times but are both SD only.

It is available on the 1050php package - that's the one I have.  It's sold as a stand alone - 500php a month.

Bein connect is only available as an app on a smartphone is it not?  I want to watch EPL on TV rather than streaming etc
