TrueVisions bags exclusive EPL broadcast rights

[vogie]

I am not sure if this is common knowledge but I noticed yesterday that Sky Sports are still advertising next seasons EPL games on their channels?

Why shouldn't they ? they have the UK rights to show them

I thought they had lost the rights to True?

Oh dear oh dear. True only has the rights to broadcast EPL in Thailand.

On another note I doubt if True has a broadcasting license outside of Thailand.

Does/will  True offer the equivalent of Bein connect with catch up on demand via the Internet that I can chromecast to the tv? No interest whatsoever in their satellite offerings 

They do, using the TrueID TV app. It's worked like that for a while now and I have no reason to think it wouldn't continue. I did notice that the 7-day catch up option for the beIN Sports channels stopped within the last couple of weeks but it's still there for all the True Sports channels.

Is there a chromecast facility too?

You can get it from the All TV Guide schedule. It's not available on all channels. If it is, you'll see the grey Catch Up TV icon next to previous time slots (see below).

 

[GroveHillWanderer]

Just noticed something else. If you go to the All Channels page, those channels that have Catch Up, have the icon shown below them.

So on this screen grab, True Sport HD and True Sport HD 3 have the catch-up option but beIN Sport 4 does not.

They take the game from the uk provider (SKY, BT and i think Amazon for a few) so will have the uk commentary. The pre-match, halftime and post-match talk will more than likely be Thais in thai language.

Commentary in English. Punditry will now also be in English as premier league t.v. will return.

Hi,

 

Please excuse my lack of knowledge on Truevision. If I have an account with the Premium Sports package, I can view on my phone or laptop.

If I weren't in Thailand, would I need to use a VPN...?

I read somewhere it can only be streamed on one device at a time.........any idea.....?

Any idea what download speed is needed to ensure no buffering...?

 

 

Many thanks.

At least I won't have to listen to Bein's Peter Drury and Jim Beglin commentary team.

Every time he says "of this Parish" I want to kick something !  lol

[fishtank]

Does anyone have any idea how to actually subscribe and pay the money when using the TrueMove H app.

In typical True style it is all rather vague.

 

Can I just stick a True sim card in my phone?

I'm wondering how this is going to play out now....Think we can assume that all the PL games will now be shown on True's own channels, so what will become of the 4 Bein channels? Worth remembering that Bein has the FA Cup rights for Thailand for the next 5 years, so assume they (Bein) would want to keep their channels on True, and vise versa?

Maybe Truevisions will keep 1 Bein channel for the FA Cup, La Liga & Serie A and ditch the rest? As I recall, before Bein started screening live EPL games via Truevisions 3 seasons ago, Truevisions did include 1 Bein channel in certain packages.

Bein's existing 6 channels on Truevisions are to be pulled from 10 August. A pity that we'll no longer be able to watch FA Cup games without subscribing to an alternative internet service, of course, but, other than for those particular games, I doubt whether I'll personally miss Bein all that much.

529THB for a year. Decent deal. La Liga has some games worth watching

Help me out - I have the True app on my phone, get all the Premier League games, lovely, but how do I switch from Thai to English commentary on my phone ? Anyone know?
