Well my box is up and running ,and the further it runs the better as far as i am concerned ,where with my old box i could put my favourite channels in order it seems that with this box you cannot ,all you can do is put a star next to your favourites (20 max) though what use this is i cannot for the life of me think as you still have to scroll through dozens of channels you do not want to watch ,you can of course put the number of the channel you want in ,but then you have to write a list of your channels you watch . if this is what i have to go through to watch a channel then true have just lost a customer.

Just he kind of tourist TAT go out of their way to welcome and include in their "magical" visitor numbers.

just the kind of generalisation you get from a poor frustrated expat.

Actually Naam its quite correct ,while there are many wealthy Russians ,the vast majoraty are here on all in cheap package tours and have little spare money to spend.they are the Thompson tour types that used to flock to Spain years ago

_{Well the box has just been delivered ,unfortunatly the wife ommited to call me ,they were in and out in 5 minutes it seems ,we now have a screen telling us to wait untill they broadcast to us ,all the questiones that i wanted to ask them are now unanswered ,my wonderfull wife like most Thais didnt ask anything but just let them set it up and p--s off as quick as they could ,all she was told was if you dont get a picture soon phone h.o . wonderfull}

_{PS ITS THE SAMSUNG BOX}

So if we get the new HD box after the trial period if you do not want hd can you opt out of recieving it ,because to be honest we do not watch sport and as most of what is on is repeated so often i know the script better than the participants ,really we only have true ,to just have it so to speak and it certainly would not be much of a loss to cancell altogether.

Well looks like we must have the new box but i certainly do not intend paying any more ,the service we get now is not much good ,i will just cancell true if they want more money.

sorry not keen on the new format,the other was good so why change?

Although I don't have a True HD box, my understanding is after the promotional period then the extra charge per month for HD on top of basic plan cost (i.e, Platnium, Gold, etc) and box rental is approx 500 baht per month.

Well i dont want hd and certainly will not pay another 500 baht a month for it ,so if they try it on i will just cancell ,as to be honest i think for what you get(constant repeats of American rubbish shows ,like kitchen musical) its a rip off ,i will just get something like banglamung cable

They came around and installed ours recently. A big improvement and you get the HD channels free during this promotional period. Not everyone is out to get you.

I realize that they are not just out to get me ,but with my old box you can see what programs are on a day in advance ,when it broke down about 18 months ago i got a new one which only showed the progs about 3 hours in advance so i got the old one fixed and they returned it ,does the new one still give programme information up to a day in advance?

I am in Chiang Rai and the box they gave me is great with many more options than before and yes you can check what is on the next day. Of course I can't guarantee that you will get the same make and model. Good luck.

Thanks for that ,i suppose i will just have to bite the bullet and let them instal it ,although we have gold (went down from platinum) and it just seems to be constant repeats ,so we very rarely watch it ,i just download most stuff from the internet and the wife doesnt like Thai soaps but just watches history channel and nat geo. to be honest i wouldnt care if it wasnt there except for the news channels.

Dont know if anyone else as heard this ,i am in Pattaya and have true satelite tv ,i just had a call from the girl at true saying that they want to fit a new box ,when i said that i did not want it but was happy with the one i have she informed me that without it i could not recieve true any longer and would be cut off.

any one heard this?

AND lets hope the drink wasn't alcohol, not with a name like mohamed.

cant beleive people who live here, pay people to tax and insure a car, why not simply go and learn how to do it, its not rocket science. is there no feel to learn and understand how to do the basic things in life here with out handing over addtianl cash to do some thing a 12 year old could do.

Transport Office near Regents School on the 36/7 near Marbrachan

dont see where the OP asked about vehicle inspections so its just a trip to the land transport office

Dead right

went there two days ago ,in and out in 5 minutes cost 1250 baht or near that ,why pay someone else ,then go back and fore ,for your paperwork.

What's a suite?

Wales, but left for the bright lights of london in the swinging 60s, i then went on to make money and spent it on wine women and illegal substances.

the rest i wasted

I love living here ,never had any problems ,speak some Thai and could never go back to the west ,what do i think of Thais ? half of them if brains were gunpowder they couldnt blow their hats off, if they think they are better and more inteligent than me ,who cares ,i live in a big house ,have money and a loving familly ,if some guy living in a sh-thole and paying off the hp on his car over 7 years thinks he is more inteligant than me , good luck to him .Its his problem not mine.

my bond rate comment was based on what I saw on BBC business bulletin recently; I'm reasonably confident I didn't just imagine it.

Eitherway; do you really think that if debts basically become shared across the eurozone markets will price them at Germanys current rates? More like a medium between best and worst.

Naam- A more appropriate opening remark might have been "I think u might be mistaken" or "could I draw your attention to......"

I am afraid that NAAM is of the opinion that only he knows what is going on and if you do not agree with him ,you are a fool.

If i could go back in time what would i change?

NOTHING!!!!

If Britain leaves Europe it will be a rope gone from around our neck ,we plough money in so that the likes of the Greeks and Italians can retire early ,they told us if we did not join the Euro we were doomed ,we weren't now they say if we leave the E.U we will be doomed ,we wont , the sooner we are out and on our own again without that crazy dwarf from france and the communist from germany the better.

Shipped over a load of western products using my Brothers company ,i had so many f--ing problems ,what with customs wanting money ect ect ,i told them to eat it themselves ,i hope they like'd the marmite there were about 20 pots.

The OP has been a member of ThaiVisa for 3 weeks. That makes him an expert in everything doesn't it?

If he could just tell me where to get a great burger in Chiang Mai, I'd gladly wait to pay $2.00 for it.

You mean like, everyone has to belong to this forum in order to be an expert on anything?

Since joining this forum ,i have become an expert on everything

My post was deleted ,so am i a winner or a loser?

I think i knew your wife before she was rich and well educated and if it was here in Pattaya even "before" she was a virgin

I do not known if you known I am gay long story.

My wife says get a Test at once wish you luck

SO does that mean your"wife" is really your husband?

PSi did a test and past with flying colours

PPS it was for the x factor ,does that count?

Why do you have to have achieved something here to be a winner? i'me as happy as larry ,every day is a new one ,i have a loving wife ,son and daughter ,my familly love me and i love them God, my life has been and continues to be fantastic and when i die ,i wont be happy about it ,but i will be happy that i was happy all my time on the planet .

what have i achieved? well isn't that enough?

Yep . BUT, achieve is a word that means you've done something, being happy perhaps is not an achievement but having very good luck.

Strange way to look at life ,and there was me thinking having a great familly ,being financially secure being happy was an achievment ,perhaps if i had worked harder built up a multi million pound buisness and lost my familly and died alone you would say i had achieved something

We keep hearing about these raids but i still cannot believe that you can buy counterfeit goods in Pattaya ,next you will be saying that hard core porn is for sale on beach road.
