or just use Tune-in that is available for most devices and has every Radio station in the UK live ..

all good stuff, but a shame the basic services like power, sewage, electric can not be done at the same time and take another ten years .. You will find the Thai version with real teak shacks and houses of this concept on the BKK Pattaya bypass ..

if you want good Kiwi meats, pies, sausages etc then it is hard to go past West Asia Foods who will sell to you and deliver in Bangkok and cheaper than the super markets as they are the wholesalers ..

good advertorial ..

Yes Astro have the Ashes as a pay per view ..

Sounds like the DHCP server on your home modem/router is not set up correctly, wife had the same problem here too and setting the modem router up correctly made it work fine (that is why it works OK at her work) ..

if you notebook has either VGA or HDMI out go and buy an adapter to RCA for it they range in cost from THB 1,200 - 7,000 (and for that price buy a cheap flat screen 32" 3,500 at Big C)

and 1080p streaming out of the box? as in real 1920x1080p streaming and not the 720p downscaling they all do?

It's just an Android box with free software as far as I can make out,That same box can be bought for around 2,000 baht on the internet.

Please give me a link to a MX doing the same thing as mentioned above for THB 2,000 that does proper 1080p or 1920x1080?

So whatever PLi Media boxes are, I agree they must be cheap and cheerful by the way you describe them, but I guess what ever they are they also come with free IPTV not paid for IPTV,

I also agree 100% most average Android type devices and boxes do the job with few hundred free APPs that will play direct on your TV, and for sure they can change everyday with newer and betters APPs being added to Android all the time. But all the same they have many great for FREE low speed streaming APPs specifically designed for mobile devices, having said that they always work and work for free and are discussed elsewhere on TV like the free "Thai TV" APPS etc ..

But James, I do see the majority of your PAY IPTV channels in your list are for free on many of the Android devices out there and in many cases in HD and did I mention for free?

Getting back on topic, the JSAT Pi and the JSAT MX are not APP driven Android boxes like you mention both are based on Linux (Still do not what an Android TV MX Box has to do with a PLi Media Box, whatever that is) and that is why it is so much better than most Android devices / boxes because most Android devices / boxes will not do proper 1080p HD streaming (720p yes but not 1920x1080 ) but the MX does of course, it has to for the media center to be a real media center and is based as normal from JSAT TV on the free XBMC Media Center platform so what is on your TV can also be on all the devices for free in any household. They (JSAT) sell the XBMC media centers hardware that plugs directly into the TV with free IPTV as a bonus to the media center called XBMC (www.xbmc.org) , unlike you James where you. re-sell IPTV that is free out there and charge more and more with no integration into the owners entire media store and other devices they may have.

Hope Apple is paying the VAT and charged to you like DHL always does ..

he is an Indo prism agent .. so all information garnered and dealt with (smile)

Just go VGA from notebook to VGA in on the projector and audio out to audio in - a simpler solution surely?

So simple he would have thought of it already! Obviously it must be a notebook without a VGA port. As stated, he needs an adaptor - not just a cable! You can get them in places like Panthip or online.

The OP stated his projector had no HDMI plug therefore needs an adapter for the projector end. Never saw any mention of the notebook end other than it too has HDMI.

So sometimes the simplest of thoughts are the right answers.

Cheap phone for mobile 3g/Wifi hot spot? Any old (stress old) Samsung Cooper will do it here and under 3k at most phone shops.

Just go VGA from notebook to VGA in on the projector and audio out to audio in - a simpler solution surely?

or a simpler option might be to change the frequency of the True boxes RF output (a setting on the older boxes - uses the UHF band) or for the new true HD boxes, buy and use a variable modulator from the True box - use the a/v output from the true box to the mod then select on the mod a frequency not used by KTV and off you go. Mods are about 600-1,500

Half right information - as the bit about the DOCSIS modem is correct, you can not set up a static DNS in most true provided DOCSIS modem/routers for your DHCP server as there is no setting to do this, but any device connected to it can have its own DNS set.

So maybe we meant the same thing but just expressed it in a different manner?

Don't think it will work with Unblock US cos they ask you to change your DNS servers and this you can't do with True Hi-speed internet.

I beg your pardon? Yes you can change your DNS on all devices that connect to your True ASDL 2+ & DOCSIS connection(s). High speed 100 down to low speed 1, so I do not know where you got this disinformation from.

impossible to resolve anything with google and a phone call to the local office results in 'send us an email instead', which never gets answered, so you have to find a way to sort it yourself or give up as a bad life lesson.

Or try this free VPN which I confirm works well on Hulu, netflix etc here in Bangkok along with all the others and it also has a free UK VPN as well http://www.websitevpn.com/ and yes on True as well both ADSL and DOCSIS.

what

Still strange, cause 2100 was working in BKK. Maybe Red Shirt thing

Sorry I must have missed the memo. But what does mobile phones have to do with politics?

Works with most Thai Visa and all Thai American Express cards as well once verified, I use both.

Not sure sorry but i can tell you the yellow/orange bank that used to be autayu is constantly awful everywhere i have been.

I totally disagree with this conclusion .. they are 100% on all fronts and one of the best in Thailand IMHO - Krungsri is the local name. We use them for most things commercial and retail banking and have always been great.

The IS19 with BBC world sounds interesting. I've been without TRUE or any other broadcast TV for a couple of years and the only thing I miss is to be able to switch on the news and leave it running in the background. I wouldn't care much whether it was BBC, CNN or Al Jazeera. Nor would it need to be HD.

Can anyone advise me on the following situation?

2 houses quite close to each other. Both are fairly large 3 storey and both have the remnants of TRUE satellite installations. Each house has about 7-8 coax outlets (with decoders) which terminate at a central point in each house. Would it be possible to install one 2 metre dish and then share that to both houses? Is it as simple as connecting the 2 houses by coax and then installing the dish on the roof of one. Or would that require some more complicated equipment?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yes you can do this but the old set top boxes will be of no use as you will not be able to put them on the C Band. The issue is if you can see Intelsat 19 there as it is low on our eastern horizon see dishpointer here, http://www.dishpointer.com/ key in the details and off you go

details from dispointer for Bangkok;

Your Location Satellite Data Dish Setup Data

If it is a problem and it is just news you want then Asiasat 3S would do the job, smaller 6' dish cheap SD box.

Either CNN or BBC world (or sometimes both) can be found on most local cable tv suppliers. The Pattaya cable TV companies do.

Through satellite, they are legally only available through Truevisions.

CNN is owned by Turner Broadcasting (Times Warner) and BBC world I guess by BBC, for both channels Truevisions has the sole distribution rights for Thailand.

Not so at all. Truevisions hold a re-distribution / re-broadcast rights contract not a sole distribution contract.

BBC World HD and BBC World SD and all their radio stations are free to view on the IS19 satellite here in Thailand and have been that way (free to view in SD) for over the last 9 years plus.

Cool, didn't know that BBC world was on IS19.

Although I still think it is not meant to be received like that in Thailand.

The below comes from BBC world's own website:

>BBC World News is available via a high quality stream on Livestation worldwide (excluding the UK, US, China, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia due to rights restrictions). Just type http://www.livestation.com into the browser on your device.

So there are definitely some rights restrictions, but as livestation charges for subscriptions, it might have to do with selling the signal instead of offering it for free.

I am not talking about Internet Streaming. I am talking about the standard (SD) and high definition (HD) free to view satellite TV services from BBC World News as per the wiki link below on Intelsat 19

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_World_News

In October 2011, a high definition feed of BBC World News showed up on Galaxy 13 in the United States.^[9] Also in September 2012, BBC World News has also launched a HD feed in the Asia Pacific Region on Intelsat 19 at 166.0°E. The channel is speculated for launch in high definition in early 2013.^[10]
