thaimee Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 In Bangkok I found cable TV to be full of repeats, dull movies and probably limited cable choice. Sometimes and I say sometimes, cable was reasonable at best, only sometimes. Since i've moved to Pattaya i've found the whole cable setup to be far more expansive with far more interesting movies, channel options and of course less repeats. The latter being the most important as I can't for the life of me stand repeats...repeats! Any ideas why Pattaya should air the better programmes without any restrictions? Thaimee.

Up2U Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Which cable provider are you talking about - which package did you have in BKK, which in Patty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimee Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 BKK= HBO Pattaya= UBC Thaimee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaihome Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 BKK= HBO Pattaya= UBC Thaimee. To the best of my knowledge, UBC is direct satellite system, not cable at all, except when cabled into apts or condo building from a dish on the building. HBO (Home Box Office) is a channel available on UBC. Possibly you lived in a building in Bangkok that only supplied a single channel from UBC, that being HBO. Wherever you now live in Pattaya supplies more UBC channels. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 To the best of my knowledge, UBC is direct satellite system, not cable at all, UBC is indeed a cable TV service here in Bangkok. It started life as such under the name of UTV. It combined with the IBC multi point microwave system and added DTH service (which is what you get outside of the wired areas here in Bangkok). There are many places that only provide a few of the UBC channels so that is probably what he had. There are currently 46 active channels on the full UBC Cable service. Plus NHK as a very expensive additional option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimee Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 To be sure, thanx for clearing up much of my confusion. It appears there were limitation's and as for watching (not really) twenty four repeats of Pitch Black with Vin Diesel as the Star I say it's about time all the Cable System's were plugged into one comprehensive Service for all too enjoy without being ripped off. Again thanx for the responses. Not in the dark now, thanx to you guy's... Thaimee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2U Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 UBC cable TV link - http://www.ubctv.com/ Cannot find a direct link for Sophon Cable, so - http://www.pattayamail.com/stv/ What other services are there? Can anyone add to this list? Can we make it a 'pinned' list for general access, so that people in various parts of Thailand can research what is available in their neck of the woods?

sriracha john Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yes, I'm sorry.. just hate to get all excited and worked up over something potentially quite fun.... and then get quickly disappointed.. reminds me of.......... but nevermind....
