  1. DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) subtitling was introduced in the mid-1990s as a means of standardising the transmission and display of multiple languages subtitling on TV signals. Sending subtitles as bitmap images overcame a number of problems with character sets and fonts, especially for complex and pictographic languages (like Thai). In Scandinavia back in the early 2000's HD channels had DVB subtitles and SD channels had Teletext subtitles. In the data stream DVBSubtitles and/or Teletext were automatically detected in the DVB Data stream and streamed into the network, however these days teletext subtitles is so "oldschool" that there is not much current demand. The current and best method of displaying subtitles within Kodi is to use a subtitle addon instead and get real subtitles on demand. OpenSubtitles or Subscene are 2 of the more popular subtitle addons. These can either be streamed or downloaded as a SRT file or SubRip Subtitle file. It is important to note that the .srt file must have the same filename as the media file and reside in the same directory for it to work with Kodi... for example the following list of English language subtitle files for the movie Prey (2022): All of the above .srt files need to be paired with similarly named .mkv files (or .mp4) in order to work.
  2. Rather than just change the skin back to the default Estuary skin, it might be better to start with a clean install if you are going to try out other builds and add-ons. You can download the latest release of Kodi for your platform of choice here. In your case, you can download the Kodi for Android apk to your Win 10 laptop, then transfer the file to a portable USB drive or thumb drive, plug it into your Android box, open File Explorer and navigate to the thumb drive and install the apk. Once you have installed Kodi on your Android box, you can download and install other builds. Troypoint offer some good (and up to date) suggestions for builds and clear instructions on how to install them. Alternatively you may just want to try out other skins instead which can be downloaded from the Kodi support forum here.

    Topic moved to the Isaan Forum where you are more likely to receive more local advice. /Moved.
  8. It is available in Thailand however the Thai Food and Drug Administration has listed Prasugrel as a dangerous drug, so maybe you would need a doctor's prescription to get it. If Fascino don't have it (give them a call) then going to a hospital to obtain a prescription to get it (from the hospital) may be the only way.
  9. You do not need a VPN to watch streaming Australian FTA (free-to-air) channels using LiveNetTV.

  11. Visine is not available anywhere in Thailand to the best of my knowledge You can buy it from epharmacy.com.au but it is restricted to 2 bottles per person per order. I have done this quite a few times and to date have not had any import duty added despite it coming via post.
