spider1197 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I am also sick of True Visions with reruns of all the channels I like. I mainly watch the History, History2, and the other channels in the 555 to 568 range, F1, NFL, Tennis and Thai channels for my wife. I don' watch movies. My problem is the the alternatives are all Internet based and there is where Tech has left me in the past. I do have Optic Fiber for Internet. Anybody have some info on something that would fit my needs and not bogle my mind? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No monthly fees and AFL,NRL,Golf, Motorsports,Cricket, American sports and 1000's of movies and TV shows. Had mine for 5 years now, very cheep investment. But make sure it uses 5GHz from your router. There are many cheap ones that work okay most of the time but are only 2.4 GHz. If you use some of the free sites they can be a pain when they try to insert adds but many button presses can fix it. Otherwise pay for service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAWNEESE Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I wanted my True TV box and fitting moved to a different condo in same building. The shop said no problem ... Can I see your passport. Funnily I not carry it shopping. I had a folder full of 8 years of bills from True, plenty of ID but passport still demanded. I said forget it ... please cancel my subscription. They could not. They needed to see my passport to cancel it. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. No "Im sorry". Just a a smug laugh. On same trip 3BB agreed to and were happy to move my fibre connection. No passport needed. Simple process. Treated politely. I went back a few days later to True ... with passport and cancelled. Got an android box ... works well especially with fibre connection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickmondo Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 you need to pay to get a decent service. i know of no set top boxes that are any good. they all say how great they are when trying to sell, but they are rubbish. pulse-net tv is all you need. its 1k a month, but you dont need a box, has all you need. zero buffering, zero problems if you want to waste your money on a box, go ahead mate. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bkk6060 Posted December 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) I never understand so many who have these True TV subscriptions paying almost $100 a month. What a huge waste. I have had an android box for 6 years and just upgraded to this one last week. Less then $50 at Tukcom. Fast crystal clear HD. Get everything Mobdro, several TV and movie apps, Kodi, geez you name it. Just about anything old and new available just watched an HBO max movie Netflix Showtime you name it all for free through the apps. It also has all the US channels showing NFL games ( abc, nbc, cbs espn) although, I do have the game pass. So easy to hook and apply took 2 minutes. Fantastic love it.

They are the worst tv company in Thailand. <deleted> crooks. Quit them 7 years ago. Finally gave up trying to get my deposit back; they made it so much of a drawn-out ordeal it was not worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just install the Android apps directly on TV to watch prepaid IPTV services or your movie collection. Tivimate, IPTV Smarters, Kodi are good apps. Free stuff like Mobdro is a pain to use and unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PC is too far away from the TV. I have Mobdro on my android phone...I use my google chromecast to "transfer" it to my tv screen wirelessly You download Google HOME app which sets up your chromecast and then can "mirror" your phone to the tv A little icon will appear on Mobdro to cast it.....the one caveat Ive found is Decent wifi needed....my Vivo thai phone also has a screen mirror function that does basically the same things as i stream from my phone or use the HDMI method if weak signal....I got a long HDMI cord at 20 baht shop for 100-200 bt for my pc to tv and use that and my mouse cord gives me quite a long reach during weak wifi times..maybe a wireless mouse dongle? If you dig around youtube can find some good stuff....I also use 3rd party streaming sites for "new " releases... Where there is a will there is a way! and I use a Linux pc so leaves me out of apps like bluestack-etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Where are you based? In Pattaya i get the local cable service Sophon for 300 baht a month. It includes Sky (UK) news. all F1 and Moto GP races. Plus a good selection of movies and thai programmes (for the tgf). Together with Netflix, 360 bant a month, that is more than enough TV for me. Together about 1/3 of what i was paying True. I also have the Mobdro app which provides everything but the access is not that reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaigreg Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 If you have or get and Android box try Kemo TV (https://kemoiptv.com/) 6 months for $25, 12 months for $39. You can order up to 4 years, but I would be cautious about. 27,00 They have over 17,000 live TV channels, over 27,000 movies and over 1600 series.

sungod Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Mobdro buffers too much, get a paid subscription if youi are really serious about it. IPTV for a year with all the sport/documentaries /movie channels should cost about 5000- 6000 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamus Yaigh Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Just get a paid IPTV service. Costs about 8-10USD /month for live streams up to 1080p and maybe some 4K content for VOD. You'll get an m3u address for the channels and another for the EPG to input into any player device on any platform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
