bangkok blue

Moto GP was shown on fox via CTH the other week. It's the same channel. Both true and CTH schedules aren't very good.

I paid only for the installation and box deposit about 2400 baht.

Has everybody else paid 1 Month in advance

My bill on official blue CTH headed paper, with a CTH bank deposit slip at the bottom, that has my account number. This is exactly what it says, make of it what you will. The lady in the shop mumbled something about watching first two months free, but we will see and I'm just happy to have it!

Total Installation fee - 534, 47

Total pre-paid fee - 961, 63

Equipment Service fee - 0- 00

Deposit STB/DVtv fee - 1,800

Deposit monthly fee - 961,63

Total 4258,33 (Yep alfie they have a similar calculator)

I paid in total 5,500, so I expect the shops supply the CTH dishes at a rate decided by the fall of the dice and not put on the official CTH invoice..

this was exactly what I paid on an official CTH bill with bank dep slip at the bottom.

Same here. I was connected 6th July. So 15 days free viewing takes me until 21st. Pain 1st month upfront. So I'm not expecting any bill due until 21st August!

Big one for me is the english punditry. I've emailed the EPL, but as yet no reply.

Me too, it's not just the presenters, but with PLTV build up and analysis you also get the manager/player pre/post match interviews. Fingers crossed!

Correct. CTH 131.East

Advertisers signed into exclusive deal with CTH. Only sub license will be 17 games a year to MCOT. TRUE will not show any games for next 3 years from EPL. Wasting your time if anyone is waiting for them to strike a deal!

Where have you been??? CTH have exclusive rights to the English premier league football for the next 3 years.

As I said 2 tech guys are sure that we'll get english commentary. The 2nd advised it'll be in place for next week.

TRUE have done a deal to sub-license the La Liga from RS, not CTH.

Yes, they looked like they have just come out of the media studies course from Uni! Fingers crossed we still get the British presenters.

I remember when I got CTH first installed. The fox crime channel wasn't in english, but that was rectified within a few days.

Made another call to tech. Dept just now towards end of man city game. They advised test signal. They made an excuse that the english audio wasn't open. I said it is, as I know for a fact that Martin Tyler is commentating on it. The guy spoke to someone else and advised this function will defo be available next week. I asked what game next week but he didn't know. Could be stevie Gerrard's testimonial, but I'm only guessing.

I asked about what presenters and what preview and review shows will be on for english viewers. He advised he didn't know about content, but understood what I meant about Thai and British presenters, as he used to work for TRUE.

If by this time next week there is a game without english audio then I'll post the tech dept number here.

In fairness the guy spoke good english and I believe him when he says they'll be english commentary.

Just got off the phone to there technical department. Guy was very helpful. He didn't know about the problem, but said he would try and fix for 2nd match. He told me this was a test signal and was absolutely certain there will be English commentary for the new season.

Sorry you had issues. But I've used this site for a while now for information about CTH and had no such issues. Others have also used it without any problems.

Very informative post julesandmartin. I was wondering how long the signal interference would go on for.

CTH does not have La Liga. It's on the sunbox by RS for 100bht per month. Also available on TRUE as they have sub licensed the rights from RS too.

CTH are operating parallel to WETV. They have not taken over WETV. CTH will operate on a new system for those who want the footy. For those who just want entertainment channels then they will be offerer the current WETV package. WETV won't be ready in time to offer CTH via cable in all areas in time. They are currently offering satellite to those who want to be guaranteed football from start of season.

I think you can subscribe to setanta via their website for HQ stream online. Just do a search.

Check out the thread in footy forum titled nationwide CTH dealer list.

Premier league Asia trophy on Thai tv channel 3 and 7, so I've been informed.

All games and preview/review shows Etc.... Are provided by PLTV and included in the contract. I will be very surprised if we don't get them.

I haven't heard anything about CTH broadcasting via IPTV. But with issues about the direction of the dish it could well be possible. Thaicom 6 hasn't been launched yet, as far as I know. I'd go with. KU band for now. Even wetv are offering satellite as not gonna be ready in time.

CTH isn't the greatest for movies in all honesty. Fox action movies is different to the one on TRUE. Some of the movie channels are only in Thai. I don't bother with movie channels and just download anything I really want to watch. Nat geo channels are excellent though!

That's probably because they are not in a serviceable cable area. This means you will need to organise a satellite installation.

I'm still interested to know if anyone in central Bangkok has successfully got CTH.
