Added info on the above. Due to time differences in Asia, I asked NFL Digital Care if they would replay any games just played. They said they archive their games, and subscribers could watch any game back to 2011.

Every NFL American football season, those of us that have stuck with Truevisions wonder if they will televise games. This year is no different as I have been told by their call center that they won't know until close to the season, probably when the first games are played, as usual.

I did some checking with NFL Digital Care which is part of NFL Game Pass. Previously, you needed a VPN to get a US address. That has all changed, and in fact, people will be using a VPN in the US to get a foreign address, as NFLGame Pass is now Global. In Asia, in fact, there will be no blacked out games. I told the person I am not with the military and not living on a military base, but rather would be watching in my house in Bangkok, Thailand. That, he said, is no problem. They have a US zone, Canada, European zone and then a zone they call Rest of World (RoW), which Asia is part of.

You would need to use an XBox One, Apple TV, computer, Amazon Fire TV, or several different types of Phones and tablets. I am waiting on an answer to see if they replay games (probably) due to time zone differences. YouTube and play station have packages of programs, including NFL Game Pass, which cannot be viewed outside of the US. NFL Game Pass International cannot be viewed in the US. Things have changed.

Thanks Jai Dee. Having lived in Thailand, is the PVR mentioned the same one I bought from TrueVisions or are there other PVR's legality available in Asia?

Thanks Jai Dee. Kodi for Dummies is great, but I still have a question about time differences. With TrueVisions I have. PVR to record middle of the night American football games. Using Kodi (I have Express VPN) is there a way to record the programs, or do you have to watch it only at the times it's broadcast?

I do know you can get Game Pass (American football on X Box One S - you pay for it) and that may be the way to go, but how do the Brits get by with time differences?

Jaidee, is Kodi legal in Thailand and can I access US programs and US sports?

I had a long talk with True Visions about billing. It seems, somewhere along the line, where you used to get 2 boxes per subscription, it has been changed, without notice. Hence for my second box, which for 20 years came along with the subscription, at some point they have been charging me an extra THB 5,000 per year. It has not been announced
anywhere.

As you know, if you've ever asked for a breakdown of the bill, it is impossible to understand.At a function last night, I asked many people( including several Thai's) and they didn't know about this change either. You can pay either 1 month at a time, but most pay either 6 months or a year at a time and you don't see this extra added in. Another reason to look for alternatives.

You get it at the Amphoe where you are registered in a house book.

Show them your pink ID card. Problem solved. Works all the time.

Permanent Residency
With it there is no need for extensions, 90 day reports and etc.

If you go through the entrance to the Premium Lane (in between the 2 main immigration halls) there is an Immigration office on the right hand side before the counters. That is where I applied.
Make sure you have the name, address and ID card number of a Thai guarantor (no idea why that is required). You also need at least 6 months remaining on your current re-entry.

Any PR try to get a Patient card at a government hospital with expired re-entry permits? OMG, I thought they were going to arrest me. They kept talking about the Immigration Police and I said us, I want to see them. Finally, my Dr. who speaks English understood it and things went smoother after that.

He said its kind of an opposite document. You get the re-entry permit to go out first and then re-enter within one year. He is a brilliant man and they understood it then.

Does it matter that my PR book is white, not blue?

It is only for those that have PR.

Looking for alternative to True Vision in Bangkok.

Netflix is now in Thailand. They offer some very good content. I have both Truevision and Netflix, but if you are looking for an alternative to Truevision, Netflix is much cheaper and very good. 

Anyone with a PVR a few years old have to buy from True Select a new PVR? I have since they reformatted the PVR last week?

New Truevisions topic: if you have a PVR with a satellite box, you will lose everything you have recorded and were saving. Truevisions, while not announced, has reconfigured the PVR from their offices. You need to then have their subcontractors come to your house and reset your PVR to meet their new configuration. It happened on my wife’s PVR yesterday and my PVR today.

Also, you will not be able to record anything new until they come to your house. At first, they will tell you to pull the e Sata plug and reconnect it. That won’t work. Then they will tell you to reboot, but that also won’t work.

They could have saved money by telling the sub contractors to fix all PVR’s at once, instead of back and forth, but they don’t.

Come to think of it, maybe this is CP’s way of keeping their subcontractors working and to hell with their customers.

Really, I don't care if shows are in black and white during October. He was a great King.

The channels will turn to black and white.


Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect

I called their call center, and after being transferred 4 times, I found out absolutely nothing that I didn’t already know. As Jai Dee wrote, the channels will turn to black. Also I was told that Truevisions does not have any websites in English language and the young lady had no idea about which channels starting from the 13th would be unavailable.

I have seen the same messages also and the unavailable's where all the True Channels, like channel 222,223, 559,560,561 etc etc so NOT for example Fox etc. Sorry I don't have a list
 
I also have seen a message that from the 2?th-29th ALL channels will have ONLY government approved content !

Jai Dee, Truevisions has a message in English stating to go to a website and it will list the programs unavailable from Oct. 13th to the 30th. Of course the website on FB is all in Thai language. Where can I find the list unavailable starting from the 13th in English? Thank you.

Good news! True just called to tell me they have the NFL rights again this year. No need to downgrade or get Game Pass. Starts tomorrow at 7:30AM on channels 666 and channels 672.

True has filled in all of the time slots that were TBC and there are no NFL football games scheduled.  The Game that starts tomorrow morning at 0730 now shows NCAA Basketball.  However, the Sports illustrated TV schedule still shows "TBC" for all those time slots.
 
I did get the following message from True via email last night " With respect to your email, we, TrueVisions Care,  would like to inform you that NFL 2018 is in negotiation progress and further update will be announce before the new season."  I sent them one back stating that I wasn't concerned about the 2018 season but the 2017 season which starts in 29 hours.  I got no response from Sports Illustrated, as usual.
 
I guess that it will be turn on the TV tomorrow morning and see if there's a game anywhere and if not consider Game Pass!  It wa the same BS with True last year.
