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

try face book instead

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.

In the photo it looks like a headless thief committing the alarming act

Now that would be very suspicious..........................

Not if he had his hands tied behind his back while cutting his own head off with a samurai sword ..it would be suicide.

"Tony" has opened a gym ( well has big signs up didn't venture down the dirt road to look )

all the way out in Bahn Amphur just off the northbound Sukhumvit road.

I hope they stay closed as they would only encourage people to try and cut across 4 lanes of motorway traffic trying to get into Makro from the south bound lane U-turn

even worse I fear you would see some ( much less but still some ) trying to exit Makro and go wrong way along Sukhumvit to get back onto south bound lane via the U-turn.

IMHO U-turns are one of the most dangerous places on the Thai roads, I know it would cost much more but if they insist on U -turns on these high speed motorways they should make them elevated U-bridges much safer.

Yes it looks like some Tv 15 minute of fame from one of the "Idol" shows will be coming to Pattaya

along with some other invited guest artists ( none named )

At the bottom of the poster it says

Pattaya "white" combine forces to build a white city of Pattaya ! ?????????????

Picks up speed as it circles the plug hole ?

In the photo it looks like a headless thief committing the alarming act

so 24 hours later have the messages been cleaned ? Or if still there what do they say ?

There was no writing on the barriers when I drove past yesterday 15th May 2016...they had been painted white so yes looks like they where "cleaned"

The UN is not our father ?

Looks very nice indeed how much did the restoration cost ? quite a lot I would imagine.

I don't know if he has those expensive European frames, no doubt he could get them if needed.

He does have titanium frames and those super bendy "unbreakable" frames too.

Cant make out what the first item is but just a guess looks like "bookon" or personal ???

second item says its a

"charge for making a ticket for a car with no more than 7 seats"

A good deed never goes unpunished

The parking garage is located at the back, and is, I think, 5 levels. Plenty of covered parking. We had to go up 3 levels to find a spot today. Parking and security people were visible on every level. The parking spaces are wide enough for a full sized sedan to fit easily; and the traffic lanes are wide enough to navigate with ease.

I would disagree with you that the traffic lanes are wide enough, if you compare them to Central they are rather narrow.

When I parked my full sized sedan on level 3 at Harbor Mall reversing the car into an space with no other cars either side felt "cramped"

when leaving there where cars on either side and it took 3 bites to get out of the space without hitting the rather low retaining wall on the outside of the building or scraping other cars...maybe I was having a bad parking day ?

on google too.

There was a Thaivisa member who got hit over the head with his own frying pan by burglars while he was typing away on his computer.

None of them have an Ice skating rink yet...there is a plan for the New Harbor Mall to have an ice rink as well as some sort of snow park.
