It's driving me insane!

Thanks for the reply Sumrit. I generally use my windows 7 desktop. But I checked the issue on my gf's Mac to double check if it was my system. Exactly the same problems happen! it loops the last few seconds every few minutes when played live. The on demand function has the same issue, from 3:45am Monday. A permanent red signal bar appears from this time, yet any programmes before this point are fine and show a full green signal!

By checking on two devices eliminates the problem of it being a system error at my end.

If the on demand function works prior to 3:45am Monday, then it surely points to a problem at their end and not mine, right?

Only on Channels 1 & 2 show this problem, again all others fine. If it was a network problem it would effect all of them.

I've updated drivers, I've cleared memory, same problems.

If you could shed any light on this I'd be over the moon, as I've done everything in my power to try and make sure it's not a problem with me.

I'm using 365 sport to get my football fix. Since Monday its been doing weird things. Every few mins it replays the last few seconds, like on a loop. Tried it on several devices, same problem, so its not the computer at fault.

It only happens with sport 1&2.

Is anyone else having issues?

Since early Monday morning sport 1 & sport 2 have been playing up. Relooping the last ten seconds every 5mins. All other channels are fine. Doubt it's my internet connection. If it was all.channels would be playing up.

Who else is having problems?

To be fair to ilikeHD, questions answered quickly. Can't fault their customer support. Tested it with morzilla Firefox and it worked 100%. Must be a problem with flash player on google chrome.

I thought you were only allowed to use your home licnce for the 3 months in conjunction with an International Driving Permit, which shows what the licence covers?

You are correct, the UK can and does cancel your licence if you are out of the country for more than three consecutive months. They are linked to the passport office so they do know when you are abroad, I know having just 'lost' my U.K. licence, fortunately I have a Thai licence. Also the UK issues a free licence once you are 70 years of age and still a UK resident.

Biggest load of hogwash I've ever read on here. I applied for a new license, years after losing my original one. 10 years in Thailand! Gave my passport details in order to confirm my I.D. New license issued, no problem! UK Does NOT cancel your driving license if living abroad for more than 3 months.

Really poor service from ilikeHD tonight. Stadium 1 was only in Thai.

Most annoying thing was the quality of the stream kept fast forwarding, then in slow motion, then normal then slow motion, then fast forward etc... They had a look.via team viewer, but it didn't improve. Put it down to a network problem. I doubt this is the case as streamed a movie from shush earlier and 365 sport played seamlessly with no issues whatsoever. Can only think its a fault at their end.

English commentary for the football?

Assuming the annoyance you've caused isn't illegal, then file a police report. They probably won't take it seriously, but makes it official if anythibg happens to you.

A famous Thai saying "the dog doesnt bark before it bites" if someone really wanted revenge, then you probably woukdnt have been warned.

Take it easy.

You could do one border run to get a visa exempt entry and then extend it for 30 days (new rules) at immigration.

See consulate website for ED visa requirements: http://thaiconsulnewyork.com/

So, I can definitely do a border run, then 30 day extension at immigration based on the visa exempt policy? I wouldn't have needed to have been on a tourist visa before?

So, my ED visa expires 18th Nov. I was gonna fork out and go Laos to renew it, however I have bought a ticket to go to New York 20th December.

My question is, as I have an outgoing ticket; booked and paid for, can I do two border runs and then obtain my ED visa at the Thai consulate in NY?

Any similar experiences people have had with a situation such as this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

7th is a Friday. Maejo event is always on a Saturday.

Thanks, if anyone hears anything, please post here

Read on some guy's blog that the festival for this year is 25th October (I'm talking about the free one, not $100 a head one). Seems really early, as the actual Loy Kratong date is 6th November, right?

Tried checking but can't find anything else concrete that confirms this. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks, in advance

I notice that I like HD has new,packages now, including sports channels from here with prem footy. Thai tv package includes these for 250p/m. What's the quality like? Is it reliable, clear etc... Do you need to download a player, or stream from their website?

The two Escobars. Quality ESPN documentary.

They almost always show the early kick off from champ on Saturdays. Some Sunday games live / on delay and one Saturday match on delay.

I'm fairly impressed with them. 90% of the time its a smooth running service in HD too. Shows 4 simultaneous 3pn epl kick offs. Spanish German footy. Champions league... And loads of other sports. No HD tonight. Prob due to rain or powercut.

CTH want 1700bht to move my dish to my new condo 5mins down the road! I also had 365sport for champions league and world cup and was relatively impressed.

How did people get on who relied on it for EPL coverage? My true internet is very reliable, so confident it would be fine. Just wanted others opinions.

The live stream from 365 is about 2 mins behind that of CTH, which is around 40 seconds behind that of skysports... I know this, as was speaking to a mate on the phone as we watched the same game a while back.

365 is fairly good value for money, but if your internet goes down, or it rains in Bangkok (as the signal comes from Malaysia) then you lose the signal. CTH slightly more reliable, but of course more expensive.

Just got my ticket today to cheer on the might foxes!

Any other foxiles attending this game?

BLUE ARMY!!!

There was shit all over the road and could have potentially caused another accident! Hope to speak with his wife and friend soon. RIP

The markings of the bike are where my gf moved the bike to. The final stopping point of the bike was actually the opposite side of the lane.

According to my gf, he took the corner too fast and only just made it... Next thing she knows he's flying through the air. Bog standard bike.

Steven middle, 50 years old from Germany RIP. I will contact the embassy tmrw to try and speak with his family.

Yes cobra... That's the one. It happened around 6:30am yesterday morning. He had a shitty bowl helmet on apparently. She said he took the corner too fast.

My gf said his head basically erupted on impact... They turned his body over and he was purple across his torso. I'm sorry to put this post on here. But she literally saw him fly through the air. If anyone knows who this might be it would be appreciated so we can pay our respects and even talk to his family. Thanks.
