A few months after the ABS-CBN TV Plus launch in Lipa, Batangas last year and those who bought it, we expect this from some people that they are sad that they do not have signal of GMA.
Well worry no more as it was a buzz over the weekend in various DTV FB groups, we confirmed that the Kapuso network is expanding their digital TV signal not only in Metro Manila
Someone tipped us that GMA is now using frequency 581143 and we came back from our test site (from our Easy TV Super Digibox review) in Sto Tomas Batangas using TV Plus with Baron BRL Antenna and we got a respectable signal strength of 38 and signal quality of 97. One of our FB friends from San Jose, Batangas also tested it with only TV Plus' stock antenna and the person got 42 in signal strength and 97 in signal quality. We have yet to confirm if the signal can also reach in most parts of Quezon Province
Looks like most of the areas in Batangas will gonna have GMA and GMA News TV soon (you may try to rescan your TV Plus devices as put your antenna as high as possible) but there's one conflict that we are seeing for TV Plus users in Sto Tomas and Tanauan areas as it is the same frequency as to BEAM (that has channels like Life TV, Inquirer 990 Television, Pop Life TV channels) as it can also reach it in some areas.
With this move, are we seeing a GMA Digital TV dongle or device very soon?
