As I have prev suggested, withhold 2mths sub payment, in that time find another provider in time for the new footy season. (yes I know True will have English commentary for the EPL, but after this they can go swivel!) Astro, ESPN India etc.... Then dump the HD boxes on mass at the same office! 30-50 dumped boxes and dishes on their premises all on the same day should make them take note that they can't <deleted> about anymore with customers!

Does anyone know when the next home game is please?

As I've explained to others, it beggers belief that RS, 16days before the world cup, announce in a national newspaper that you have to pay them 10k.

Doesn't matter if you watch through TRUE or Thai TV. They are the rights holders and they own the copyright, you still have to pay!

What is very annoying smaller venues/bars or somtam/street etc... restaurants don't pay. No guildline to how big the bar is before you have to pay, and guess what? You have to contact them to organise payment!

Is it me or does this sound completely crazy! RS have only just started collating info on bars who already subscribe to their services. Why weren't forms or reps sent around months ago to advise people of the need of a license!?!? Beggers belief if you ask me!

Don't get me started on the English commentary! W*****s!

Well it's all gone tits up now! Will be no English commentary as another TV member has contacted that bird who originally e-mailed me confirming English commentary and has now gone back on her word. So it's internet/radio if you can't do without!

Piss up and brewery spring to mind!

Does beg the questions as to why (as included in an earlier post and pm'd to other members on this forum) I have an e-mail from a True representative, highlighting can change commentary to English!

I suggest anyone who has purchased this withholds the next 2mths subscription and search around like hel_l for an alternative in time for the new footy season! Whether some how we can organise an Astro feed up here or somehow pick up the signal from ESPN in China/Bhurma/Cambodia/India!

This will be the final straw for me if I've been lied to by TURD visions!

Does the English commentary on easy 105.5FM only apply to matches on Channel 3? Or will they be giving commentary on all matches?

If not, are there other FM stations that will give English commentary?

Looks like it's gonna be radio/internet for those outside Bangkok that can't pick up the Astro feed!

Absolutely class game and atmosphere, my first match too. Do they normally get crowds that size? Must have been around 4-5000 there!

What's the deal with everyone sticking 3 fingers in the air? Anyone care to enlighten me?

Can see a lot of HD boxes being dumped outside various TRUE offices then if this is the case!

Ye, I'm up for that.... Tuskers seem to be on the ball, so to speak. Chaz, the owner is on about having sports quiz etc... in-between matches.

Never watched a match in half moon, although heard bad reports about the staff there!

One things for sure, there will a lot of <deleted> off people if they have promised commentary in English and don't deliver!

If I had been lied to, would take them to court with the evidence of the e-mail I have as false representation. You just know that if you call them on 12th June if there is no English commentary it will take an eternity to get the 4000bht deposit back; cause this will be the last straw for me!

Will be withholding payments for the month of June/July just in case.... Usually they give you two months grace before cutting you off.

Hey Msingh, how are you?

I noticed in another post you advised someone else how to get around the gov blocking p2p.... Any advice?

Hi,

I often watch a lot of my football on the internet. I usually go through myp2p.eu or justin.tv, this week I have not been able to access either.

Thought it might be a problem with latest version of sopcast, tried to download latest version and was met with a government blocking message.

Anyone else having the same problems? Is there a way around it?

try http://www.the-streaming-lounge.co.uk/forum/index.php will be on there

Kad Suan Keaw closed all day and army were outside at 4pm when I went past. They weren't outside there yesterday at this time, although it was still closed.

Will be glad when things get back to normal.

Best option is Sports bar in Night Bazaar.... But I doubt it under the circumstances! If he is open ask him what he's doing for the World cup in English, cheers.

Right so the defos are.....

Tuskers

Dragonfly

Half Moon

Have I missed any other defos?

The ones I think will have it and in English are....

Chiangmai Saloon? Olde Bell? Number 1? John's place? The Wall? U.N Irish? Queen Vic? The sports bar at the Night Bazaar?

I'll try and check some of these establishments this coming week, would have done tmrw for Champs lge final, but obv unable due to curfew.

Would love to watch some matches round JJ, but doubt any English commentary there.

Please post and more defos that any of you may know.

Cheers

Pretty sure I remember reading that the government warned any foreigners involved in the protests will get a 10year jail term!

Fingers crossed the police do their job, find these cockroaches that give most decent farrang a bad name and give them full bed and board in the Bangkok Hilton!

Having problems in Chiangmai too, although can access p2p, website is only partially downloaded!

Try the-streaming-lounge.co.uk although we will need to download veetle to watch.

This is getting annoying, as the girl at TRUE was adamant that commentary in English.

Just watched the FA Cup final on Channel 3, no adverts! So maybe that will be the case for the world cup too.

Internet may be your best bet. www.thestreaminglounge.co.uk

I called the Bangkok office directly. She assured me 100% that it will have English commentary.

Why did the government pull the English commentary last time? I'd have a thought they have a bit more on their plate this time to worry about this!

Cool...

So that's half moon and tuskers for sure so far.... I actually called TRUE today and they guaranteed 100% if get HD you get English commentary.

Please everybody post and bars that you know will have this so we can all enjoy the world cup!

Just called True, said 100% will have commentary in English.
