ICT Ministry to hold Digital Thailand 2016

by the neck ( single gateway ) until almost expired.

I doubt he's had a change of heart...just saying things to look good on the "international" stage

No its just the same old marketing spiel.....if they ever did change the law ( constitution ) to allow foreigners to own land it would be big front page news and there would be one hell of a hoo-ha about it.

Proof of residence is a bit of a misnomer...really what they want to know is an address where you are residing...can be a hotel,condo whatever

you can get this proof from your local immigration office,your embassy and maybe ( if very lucky ) friendly police station.

Pattaya DLT will ( not heard any reports to the contrary ) issue " temporary" licences to "tourists"

If its right next door he could well be in a "null" zone depending on how the antenna is configured.

luudee there most probably is some sort of law and planning consent required to put up a cell phone transmitter

but it would seem like they already got permission... maybe make some enquiries at Pattaya City Hall.

if all else fails and you are worried about RF radiation you can make a Faraday cage with fine wire mesh like they use to stop mosquitoes on windows and doors

ohh and don't forget the tinfoil hat

As far as I'm aware its been the case for a long time that you can get a "temporary" 1 year licence ( recently extended to 2 year ) on a tourist visa

but to get a 5 year ( full ) licence after holding the temporary licence for a year requires a "long stay visa" no long stay visa they will give you another "temporary" licence.

Langen said he is personally not optimistic about the democratic outlook of Thailand under the junta.

“I personally very much doubt if the situations are on the right track,” he said.

Yes NanLaew I'd say every Friday,Saturday and Sunday sees very bad traffic in Pattaya nowdays.

Ok so I will answer myself

After 3 different aerials, 2 runs of RG6 coaxial cable and going to the highest point on the roof I was finally able to get digital terrestrial TV signals

from what would appear ( from the frequencies ) to be both Bangkok and Pattaya transmitters.

Hopwell Thailands Stonehenge.

Foreigners cant own land in Thailand.

I wonder if the BIB also impounded the "pot plant"

They won't give you a 5 year license because you don't have a long term visa...I've also heard that those with "Thailand elite" visas are only eligible for temporary licenses too.

There are some bathroom/toilet cleaning products that contain about 5% hydrochloric acid , they do a good cleaning job but can also completely dissolve grout if left for too long.

If you view with no more participants than yourself having no red colored clothes or equipment being careful not to read a book or eat sandwiches and especially no Facebook messages...it might be ok.

Ok I'll have a look around the couple of power buy stores in my area (Pattaya) and see what they have.

this is Madness

If you re-grout, use a sealer.

Dave can you recommend a grout sealer commonly available in Thailand ?

BeefSlapper

I took a bit of a guess as to exact location from your google map

they recommend the Rayong transmitter even though the Pattaya one is closer.

with your indoor antenna at 56KM's to Rayong IMHO not a chance of a signal

you need a large outdoor antenna like this. 550 baht from Amorn

on the roof

My new tv supports dvb-t2 out of the box. I have bought an antenna and a booster and it worked perfectly upon first setup. Then ch7 (my gf's favourite channel) fell away and even I changed the position of the antenna a thousand times, it refuses to come back upon re-tuning. Now use Ilikehd free Thai tv which is flaky at best. It seems at 299 baht per month the true vision package is best.

sniffdog can you please tell me about the "booster" you bought, make, model ,price and where you bought it.

The problem of CH7 disappearing could be due to water getting into the Coax or some local interference, fluorescent lights and other electronics can cause problems too,have you tried changing the cable for some more expensive stuff ?

Also there are certain whether conditions ( more prevalent in the tropics ? ) that can cause the terrestrial signal to fluctuate wildly

maybe when you got CH7 you where pointing at a very distant transmitter during a "lift" period where signals can travel for hundreds of kilometres but normally only travel a 20 -60 Kms try the transmitter locating website ( posted below ) to see if you are pointing to the nearest one.

BeefSlaper you don't say where your gf parents house is located in the country

DVB-T2 is still being rolled out not all locations are covered yet but you can check on this website.

http://dtvservicearea.nbtc.go.th/webpeople/

zoom the map to your location then click on the blue white teardrop icon on the top right of the page then click onto your precise location on the map and it should show you details of the nearest transmitter with compass bearing and exact transmitter location as well as the all important frequencies.

C band needs a big dish not good at certain locations ( on a condo balcony ) KU band can use smaller dishes but is badly affected by the rain

IPTV needs a good internet connection and some hunting around to find a cheep/free and or reliable provider of streamed content.

Grout is readily available at most building stores

To do it properly though you need to remove the old grout first which is a bit of a pain, then as stated previously the mould will come back

unless you keep on top of it with regular bleach washes.

I use the ordinary everyday bleach sold in the supermarket called "Haiter"

directly applied to an old scotch-pad and yes you need to ventilate use a floor fan to force fresh air into the bathroom

and some rubber gloves to protect your hands...gas mask err yes maybe but I'd say over the top

The Japanese have a great background in rail. The Japanese built and financed BKK's BTS SkyTrain system in the early 1990s, did they not? Why all this puffery about China this and that?

Siemens must be Japanese then

I thought it was Italy-Thai who built the sky train ?

I'm pretty sure your e-mail will neither be read or replied to

I like to take my car out of D "drive" when I'm stuck in long traffic jams and put it into "N" and apply the handbrake. I just feel it's not doing my box too much good having it in D with my foot on the brake for long periods.

Almost always, ( sods law ) as soon as I put the car in "N" and apply the handbrake the car in front moves forward 10-20 meters or the light goes green and everyone's off to a racing start followed half a second later buy hard braking to let the red light jumpers through.

Mostly now I sit with foot on brake with D engaged, sometimes if the right foot gets a bit tired I'll pull the handbrake and hover my left foot over the brake pedal just in case.
