You need to check your TV set - most of those being sold recently have a tuner built in so you just have to connect the antenna (if within range of a transmitter). Instruction book should contain information - or provide full model number and people can check.

additional info to clarify for OP:

- digital TV is also distributed via standard coax TV cable

- many cable providers already distribute digital signals (for example TMN in Pattaya)

Yes they do provide digital signal via cable and you can receive it with a normal (digital) TV tuner or a stand alone set top box that the government gave out coupons for...or you can use the cable company's digital box.

But and its quite a big but you have to continually pay the cable company for providing the service.

If you set up a TV antenna on your roof you can get TV for " free"....yes a lot less channels than from the cable company and only 1 I've found so far that provides English "soundtrack" on a lot of its programs that channel is Mono29

Unless you are very near to a transmitter you will need an outdoor antenna on the roof.

If the new owner wants to keep Bangkok number plates they can got to Bangkok and do it there, there is no need for you to go too if you have given the new owner a power of attorney form,signed blue book ( possibly certificate of residence needed by seller but Bangkok might not need this ) copy of passport photo page and visa page etc

If you do it at your local office the new owner will have to make 2 or 3 trips as DLT ( Department of Land Transportation ) will want to change the number plate in any case you don't have to go with the buyer if you give them all the required documents.

I think we should wait to read what the EU actually said.

I put my honda NSR 150 2 stroke with green book,tax and insurance up for sale for 13,000 baht all I got where tyre kickers and offers of 7000 baht so I decided to keep the bike.

No mobiles but ok for the drivers to have a ciggie while the gas boy tops up his LPG tank.

The "Mythbusters" also tried very hard but failed to get a cigarette to ignite petrol...it needs to be a naked flame to cause ignition.

He should have just flashed his lights and everyone would have moved out of the way !

Excellent thanks Arjen

Only thing is a little concerning is that it says the contacts are only rated to 5amps I would have thought a whole house would normally draw a bit more current than 5 amps ?

Yup, low voltage is all too common an issue.

Is there some sort of low cost equipment that can automatically sense low voltage (say anything under 150 volts) and isolate the house until mains voltage returns to a more normal level ?

majority. of persons with tanks and guns or majority of voters in an election ?

What about all the laws to imprison those who spoke against, have they been rescinded?

NO! All the referendum laws are still firmly in place and still apply to everyone.

Everyone except the "good" people ?

The viruses and bacteria in rain are quite strong early in the season: getting caught in the rain it's very likely to catch a cold, IMO ( I know there are deniers).

I used to laugh at Thai people when they told me that..................not anymore

If there are viruses and bacteria in the environment why are they only ( or more so ) contagious when it rains ?

The dust storms that kick up just before the rain might be carrying lots of nasties into eyes and nose maybe ?

Why do Thai people with a cold go to the doctor and return with a bag full of antibiotics insisting they will cure their cold ?

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.
