Sat Equipment & Subscription

[esprit]

I wish to purchase a 75cm dish + fixings together with a sat receiver/decoder. Where in BKK can I buy this equipment? Also I wish to subscribe to UBC only i.e. purchase the subscription and receive the viewing card only. When I went into a True shop they claim that they only sell this as an installed package hence my question. I assume the receiver will come with CAM for a UBC card or are these supplied with the card?

So would be grateful for any feedback

I was going to do this myself and use a private STB for a system.. When I contacted UBC about the card they wanted 4k baht hardware deposit and install fee even if I didnt take thier hardware.. Maybe I got unlucky but I figured easier all round to have thier box at that stage..

Perhaps try and go through http://www.satthai.tv/html/pro_cardubc.php

I've seen this equipment for sale down here in Phuket at Home Pro. Maybe it's available in a home pro near you?

Thanks I will look in BKK. Guess I just need to buy the card from True ? Do you know if you can watch the FTA channels without a card inserted ?

You can not watch the Thai channels broadcast on the KU band for free - you will need a sub. card.

However they same channels TITV,3,5,7,9,11 + about 20 more Thai are free to air on the C Band + Belgian TV, Russia Today (In English) and a multitude of Indian Channels.

If you want this just get a cheap C band install with a small dish - about 5,900 + install fee
