I've got Android on my tablet and have no trouble recording and accessing the recordings. I just click on the little tv image and select 'later' and I have two choices either 'recorded or scheduled' 

Do you not have this facility?

Not on the Android box. Maybe it is there but as all text is white on a white background, I can't see it.

I have it on Windows and my Android phone.

I will check on my Android phone if it is any better.

Actually, when I chatted with TVmucho and told them that I had problems, they immediately asked if it was with an Android box. That is how I know they are aware of the problem.

Edit:

Just checked on my Android phone. It is much better than the box. I can see white text on a black background so all the descriptions are readable. The schedule is still one day for one channel. On Windows I have a nice view of all the programs for every channel.

The same with "Later". I can see the Title of the program and the description. With Android box I can only see the icon (photo of the program).

Yeah, I find that annoying too, although there is a free 3 day trial available.

 

Which channels are you interested in, I can fire mine up and check if they're available and have catch-up.

I guess I am interested in pretty much the same channels as TVmucho + sport (premier league). I cancelled my True subscription about 2 months ago thinking Brighton would be relegated, but they survived, so I'd like another year haha. Also I love to watch Liverpool.

Actually I was told that True have a "football" package for about 150 Baht a month.

Yes, I have that. No problem recording. The problem arises when I want to watch the recorded programs. All I have is the HUGE icons of the programs. The text is white against a white background, so I have no description of what they are. I have to test each one.

Oh, the schedule function is great in windows and is the same as before. On the Android box though I have to click on the channel I want to see the schedule for, then I get loke a "day diary come up with all the times at 30 minute intervals. I then have to click a time to see what is going to be shown at that time. Useless! I really can't use that, so all scheduling is done on my Windows PC.

I have AirTV Extra. 

 

Yes it does catch-up on the major sport channels. Android and one device only but casting to Chromecast works pretty well.

 

 

The website doesn't give much information about the channels available, so it is difficult to know which package to subscribe to.

I will still give TVmucho a chance. The Windows version is fine and I was actually thinking about changing my Android box to a NUC device anyway. I am still in doubt as to which model I should buy.

Ihope you have better luck than when you contact them    

I chatted with them online last night and they are aware of the problems with the Android box version and are "working on them".

I have to use my Windows PC at the moment when choosing the saved programs as I can't see any text describing the program in the Android version.

My other problem with the "looping effect" seems to be confined to the one recording. Others are fine.

I found that the recording of programmes works well the recording on records the shedule tims so as most programmes over run you do not get the whole programme if that can be sorted then everything should beOK. As I find that it is no problem to use    

 

I found the recording works well too,except for one little detail: I often experience a little "loop". In other words a clip of about 5 to 10 seconds will be repeated. It was a little irritating and I am not sure if it was the one recording or whether it happens in them all - I haven't tried yet.

The really really annoying thing is the choice of colours in the Android version. I cannot see where to click as everything (all buttons are white on a white background. Also I couldn't see a button to open the "saved or recorded" programs. I had to connect my notebook to the TV to watch the recordings.

I will contact them tomorrow if these details are not fixed today.

A lot more money than sense, or driving skill.  What is an 18 year old doing in that kind of car, unless he has a F1 Super Licence, which I doubt?  No doubt in his way to doing what is now termed a "Red Bull". 

I remember when I was about 18 and living in England. It wasn't often I saw a super car, but when I did it was being driven by an older person. I remember how we used to talk about having to get a really good job and save to buy something like that.

I guess I was lucky because I worked part time in an antique shop and my boss had a Lotus Europa, a jaguar e-type and a Bentley (something or other) and I did get chances to drive them all. I never got to try them at full speed though as I was too afraid. I didn't have the skills at that time. (I still don't)

Does it have catchup.?..............i know they use the phrase.........

Watch all your favourite British TV Channels from anywhere on earth! Catch up on the latest Entertainment Shows, Sports, News, Documentaries, Music, Radio and so much more. Access from any Smart Device like your Smart TV, Tablet, Phone and many, many more.

 

But does that mean catchup or catchup?..............lol

That will teach me to read more carefully. Thanks haha

Another alternative - for the €5/month price of TVMucho as mentioned above (or less, depending on the length of subscription) you could get a subscription to a decent VPN that would allow you to use BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub etc with their built-in catch up services.

I tried with a VPN a couple of years ago but had quite a few problems.

Some of the website detected the VPN because I didn't change the PC clock. Sometimes I forgot to change the clock back when using Google and got all sorts of error messages. 

It was far too complicated.

I still have a VPN which I use often with torrents.

I used to use tvmucho but went over to teatimetv..........okay its 600/month but has a user friendly interface and catchup

Only snag is no sky tv.............probably why they are still up and running............my hunch is these are the old Thaiexpattv guys who got closed down a few years ago as the interface is exactly the same

 

One good thing is you can pay monthly

 

http://www.teatimetv.to/#download

I have just been looking at Britshtv website. They seem to have a lot more channels and catch up.

They have an offer of 48GBP per year if I order within the next 6 hours.

They also have a monthly payment scheme.

I am tempted, but I am afraid it is one of those sites that will be closed down very quickly.

Any opinions?

Edit: Maybe I am panicking. As I said the Windows version looks ok. Very similar to the old design. I will miss the catch up though. I often talk with friends and relatives in the Uk about some of the programs they have seen and then i go back and watch them.

Ordering the recording in advance won't be the same.

His current whereabouts is unknown.

Really?

I am sure I saw on the news yesterday where they filmed him entering a house (protected by bodyguards) and it sure looked like the UK to me. I wasn't really watching the news, but that caught my eye.

It wasn't an old clip as he looked considerably older and more mature than before.

To those who were worried about being able to delete recordings: Yes you can delete them.

Just tried TVmucho. 

OMG! There is a lot of tidying up to do.

On the login screen I couldn't see the characters that I typed in. I couldn't see the difference "login" button and the "cancel" button. In fact in many screens it was impossible to read the text.

I guess this is just a case of changing the font colour.

"Schedule" was almost impossible to find out. You have to go to the channel then pick a date and time. No nice schedule format like it it used to be.

I tried to set record later and save to the cloud. That seems to work, but of course I can't check yet. Also, I have no idea how to retrieve from the cloud.

Oh the "icons" of the TV programs are ENORMOUS.

And - yes, catch up has gone!

Let's hope they address these issues. 

Edit: Ok I have just tried on my notebook. It looks completely different. Actually, not so different from the old style. The above comments are regarding the app on my Android box. Maybe they will update it.

He drove his car and killed a cop with the help of many he left the country has been having a good time now he’s back and people are wondering how is this possibleTIT

Meanwhile, a Maserati driver in neighbouring Singapore hit a cop, dragged him for 100 yards and then gets 55 months jail.

Only in Thailand do the rich get away Scot-free.

They're living on planet Zog - who the hell will record and save an episode of say Coronation St, to watch the next day - and then yern to watch it again a few months later,  <deleted> .....

 

It was good, but now pants - i for one will be out the door once my subscription due ......

 

I'm wondering if you can delete the programs you save to make room for new ones. If that is the case, then it should be ok

Yeah, that's exactly how I use TVMucho.

 

I like to browse the program guide and watch anything that looks interesting.

 

If the random catchup is disabled meaning I need to select what I'm going to watch ahead of time then it's Mucho bye-bye.

I think most of us use the catchup function because of the time difference.

My subscription expires in December, so I have a few months to give it a try.

If  you now have to do a 90 report by August 31, can you do it online?

 

I don't think so.

I have been keeping my 90 days reports "up to date" and recently renewed online. I tried 2 days earlier than required ( 12 days before, instead of 10 days) and it wasn't accepted.

So I can imagine anyone whose 90 day report is overdue will not be able to do it online.

It is possible the immigration bureau has removed this restriction, but somehow I don't think they are so technically minded.

The Thai tourists  are not interested in the same "entertainment" venues as foreign tourists. They stay at their hotels by the pool, and dine at  nearby restaurants. Good news for the quality establishments of pattaya.

You are right. I know of a Thai family that tried to book into a hotel in pattaya, where the rooms cost 20K per night. The hotel was "fully booked" - at least that class of room was. 

When they travel, they stay in the hotel grounds the full 2 or 3 days.

So now he can return to Thailand.

Will we see him in the pubs on Thong Lor next week?  Oh I forgot. No we won't he has to do 14 day state quarantine.  Doesn't he?????
