  1. If you don't want to deal with sophon cable then just get the dish system. But I think sophon will just manage the service, not provide content. The content is from CTH's main hub.

    Thanks Bangkok Blue I will contact them for information.

    If you have been reading the thread you will know that all this launches on the 21st June...take a chill pill.

    I have of course been reading the thread and there is some great information Provided by Bangkok Blue, thanks for that. I will be out of the Country for the most of june and july, hence the need for the supplier details. We all have different circumstances so have to take that into account, but no Jai rawn here.

  3. Does anyone have a contact for CTH in the Pattaya area. I can find nothing on the Internet and they do not seem to be advertising locally, which is a bit of a concern as time is running out if they are going to sell their proposed number of cable/satellite systems before August.

    Blimey, talk about knicker wetting, we aint even out of May yet!

    Can you not see the posts above, talk to sophon in Pattaya.

    No knicker wetting as you so nicely put it. I will have to cancel my existing contract with True and then get the new installation done. I also do not want to be without TV for any length of time. I possibly unlike you work for a living and am constantly in and out of Thailand, so would like to be prepared for the change. I do not want to use Sophon as i have heard bad reports. They talk about a million installations in the reports and the speed that Thais work it won't be done within the next decade.

    I don't get this 'the speed that Thai's work at' line that is rolled by some, whenever I've asked for an engineer here or any type of manual labour they are here pronto, now England on the other hand..well, you'll be waiting weeks there, but you just carry on bashing the Thai's as your excuse to hit the panic button with the best part of 3 months still before the season starts..

    I ask a simple question and you become abusive. Show me where in the past in any of my threads that I have kept on bashing the Thais. The fact is that the number of installations that are being banded about in the press is huge and in my opinion with take many more than 3 months,

  6. I just got a letter from True thanking me for my support and they hope that I will continue. They state that EPL will run until until this coming May and then they will offer.Free of charge.

    Over 19 channels of International channels.+ 10 HD channels.

    9 additional std definition channels

    8 standard definition channels upgraded to HD

    Most of which I have now and the rest I am not interested.

    They are completely missing the point for many of us as we want to watch EPL and this package in no way compensates for the loss of this.

    I guess others have also received this letter so sorry if I duplicated.

    Indeed. And it's not only that they lost it, it's that they really seem to have made no effort to keep it, right from the way they went about their bidding, to the way when CTH won the bid, they almost immediately ruled out some sort of partnership or some sort of deal with CTH to buy games off them. Just seems like they really don't care. I think the only sort of compensation that would mean anything to Premier League fans at this point would be a rather substantial slashing of their monthly charges.

    The letter says that if we don't want to accept the freebie as described in my earlier post they will give a 100 baht discount on the current subscription for the next 12 months. They really do seem to want to keep subscribers hey!

    They are going to be losing a huge amount of customers and maybe they underestimated this....the thing also with CTH is apart from the PL they are going to have lots of other stuff they true have now, so even if you didn't like football it would still be worth switching over just to save some money...

    Agreed, whichever way I will be leaving True because I want the Football. CTH sounds pretty good according to some of the previous posts.

  9. I have worked in China for many years and in the past I had no problems in obtaining a visa from the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok. About a year ago things changed dramatically. See previous post.

    Two weeks ago I mailed my second passport with all the necessary information that is required to my agent in the UK. He made the application for me and applied for a multi entry business visa with a validity of 1 year. I just received a mail yesterday saying that they have only issued me a double entry visa. They really seem to be tightening up for reasons unknown.

    A lot of costs for little result.
