Maybe no PLTV for midweek games...disappointed....unless everything was okay for the Palace/Hammers game on Tuesday, but had no intention of gettin' up for that one.

it flicked back to John dykes and studio guests after FT, after a short break in signal. There were problems before the game as only had match stream. Cut out again about 10mins before end of the round up, but back on this morning. No reply as yet. But I suspect it's a problem with the link. They defo do have PLTV mid week, as John dykes tweeted who was in the studio with him. Seems fine now after a few flickers on and off during rerun of Liverpool game. I reckon we'll be fine on Saturday.

I think it was a problem with the uplink back in uk. Asked CTH about it, as don't want same problem Saturday.... No reply via their FB page yet. But today is a holiday.

Correction Pat. Bit of interference on Liverpool game now... Appears there could still be a problem. Lets hope they're on to it and it doesn't interrupt Saturdays coverage.

No it's not, been back on since about 7:30 this morning. Liverpool Norwich on now.

Definite problems with PLTV signal. It went off again before end of FT show. Fingers crossed fixed for Saturday.

Haha!!! As soon as I sent this and a message to CTH... Voila, PLTV back. Now that's what I call customer service!!!

Well guess it was good while it lasted! No PLTV tonight from CTH. No John dykes and co. no pre match, HT, or FT round up. Stadium 7 still there but it appears signal to PLTV has gone down! Fookin typical!

I have been in FaceTime when the match is on and it's about 22 seconds behind where as true vision was about 7/8 seconds behind.

Anyway I have kept my box on standby and it's not been updated with stadium 7. So could someone tell me exactly what I have to do to update without the need to tel Cth.

You need to do the OTA upgrade. It's under information or settings in menu settings. Make sure you have it stadium 1 when you do this. It should then do a channel search after OTA upgrade and update with stadium 7. Check back 2-3 pages. I explained how to do the OTA upgrade about a week or so ago.

Some of us couldn't do an OTA upgrade but got Stadium 7 from doing a search for new channels.

maybe those that couldn't do OTA upgrade had latest version. Just do a channel search and it should appear. Call centre much improved now, so call if any issues.

Correct if I am wrong but this is broadcast from the UK through Vietnam to Thailand. I would think that a delay is inevitable given the distance no? Remember the old long distance telephone calls.

yea but in the digital tv age, it shouldn't take more than 3, 4 seconds to relay a signal.

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

30 sec delay is bad only if you do live betting. GMM has that delay on some matches too.

that is true! I noticed that CTH were behind when I flicked on to my analogue signal and noticed channel 9 a few seconds ahead. I also get twitter goal updates from the guardian that were coming through a few seconds before the goals in the Liverpool game last night too!

Should anyone wish to mute the retarded tones of that gnome faced <deleted> pleat, you can do so by selecting the 2nd audio option on stadium 7. Crowd sound only.

If Astro have the same pundits for the World Cup, I'll be looking for alternatives...anyway, fantastic game Spurs/Man U, great coverage, pundits, pre and post match interviews, the lot, so well done to you CTH....this is what I was hoping for.

I think tony cottee, of Leicester city fame, was a pundit for Astro for last World Cup.

I love TC...one of our favourite sons.

never won anything at the spammers though, or Everton for that matter. His best days by far were at Leicester!

I might be wrong, but I think Micheal Owen is on tonight. So much more enjoyable with PLTV pundits. I do hope 365 sort out their issues with 24hr HD. I may have to look at other options for the World Cup if not. I have faith they'll get there eventually. They emailed me to say they need to get more equipment, as the signal break up around 2am for the whole night. Not sure why then is a problem period, unless it's something to do with low cloud cover at night maybe?

Will be interested to see how PLTV pans out during the games, since there are no games on ch 137.. will they start to show games on that channel or maybe put the punters on ch 131?

Like with true they will show games. Cardiff arsenal 10pm + Newcastle west brom, all Sunday games, with Chelsea vs saints 11pm pick.

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

Ok, but will the pundits be on 131 or 137 for the games?

PLTV pundits on stadium 7 only. Thai pundits on the other channels as usual.

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

24 hour HD not fully implemented yet, still having problems. Basically at present HD will be from 1pm - 1am. They may need more equipment to get it working 24 hours. Still they're on to it. Fingers crossed.

I'm removing my post. This sort of behavior is just mind boggling to me....

I wish someone would remove the cop, who gestured to me with the hair dryer! He's gonna cause an accident one of these days!

I didn't get busted. My friends did. I usually avoid the area, but on this occasion couldn't. Traffic cop was prob a bit miffed when I didn't stop after he waved me to the side of the kerb. Still he knows the next ATM will be on its way soon.

Applied for letter of residency today. Hopefully have a Thai license by next week. Then the cop thieves will know this ATM is out of order.

Good news for two groups of people.

For those who think that the police should enforce the laws more concertedly, they are out in force at Nawarat bridge as we speak, at this ungodly hour! Everyone knows they clock off at 5pm as regards to checking licences and helmets, but there they are at 9pm. A big surprise for those that think evenings are safe.

For those that think the police are out enforcing laws to just fill up their coffers, purely for their own benefit, then, as if to confirm your views, they are out in force at Nawarat .............

Karaoke Christmas party fund, for sure!

Do you know if there is a program schedule for stadium 7? If so, Where?

Full schedule available on the box. But basically PL news is at 7pm, netbusters 7:30,football today 8-10, fanzone 10. I think there is a preview show with James Richardson and Kelly cates on Saturdays called kick off.

Grand Prix channel added on 163, not up too much though. Also coming is kids channel boomerang, fashion one, K channel, 40/50 and CCTV news.

I can't do the OTA upgrade, either. I get the "looking for tuning parameters failed, aborting downgrade" message. I tried last week, and then phoned 1619. They phoned back a couple of times asking for various info from different screens, but nothing since, and it still doesn't upgrade.

I checked my channels today, I still have the 40 or so channels I had yesterday.

How to you do an Auto or Manual search ? I selected Auto Search and it showed the satellite name with an option to Rename the Satellite, but no indication of what button to press to start the search.

you need to go back into auto search, then from that menu scroll down to about the 4th option. It will give you one selection to make on the remote, the red button. Press that and it should update. Check back a page or two for my response to pattaya pat about how to do this exactly.

I've got stadium 7. Channel 137!

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

Yes I've done the upgrade. The upgrade is now greyed out and I can't do it again. Done a channel search too but it doesn't help.

Won't let me do the OTA upgrade, just ses "looking for tuning parameters failed, aborting downgrade".

My box did exactly the same. Try again on stadium 1 (channel 131) then it should upgrade. It did for me.
