Anyone know if the Eng language option worked if you watch through True Visions?

No, there was no English Language option.

Because True happens to show many other programmes that I also want to watch.  My money, so I guess I can waste it as I want.  Also, cable is much more reliable than streaming. I know, because I stream many programmes every day and even though I have very fast internet, a VPN and use IPTV, I still prefer to watch via cable if the option is there.

Oh. seems to be conflicting reports here now. Let's just wait until 7.55 tonight. I may even watch it on Thai anyway. 

 

Did anyone have the 'pleasure' of listening to Robbie Savage yesterday on the Wales game?

Yep, cable or normal tv, call it what you will, will always trump everything else.

All you need is a vpn and tune into the U.K. channels it’s that simple

But of course, silly of not to think of this obvious solution.  Oh and thanks for the in-depth guidelines.

I use Nord:   https://nordvpn.com/

 

Sign up for around 100 baht per month, easy to use.  You just choose which country to want to be in from a drop down menu and - voila - that's where you are.  I use mine mainly for watching UK TV but it also has its other uses.  ????

I'm watching on True now, and in English.  BBC iPlayer is about a minute behind.

I'm watching online, with Thai sound muted and listening live to TalkSport https://talksport.com/radioplayer/live/index.html

With some careful pausing and a lot of luck, the feeds are running in perfect sync.

It's not quite that simple though is it? I have a VPN tuned to the UK, and the BBC iplayer asked me for my TV licence number, which I obviously don't have.

No it doesn't.   It asks if you have a TV license, you click yes.  It never asks you for a TV license number.

Apart from the first match there has been dual commentary on nbt and its also on truesport3hd with English by default. Pretty sure ts3 is a free channel but I do pay for the epl channels so it may be part of the package.

Sorry, my mistake. I just tried it again and it works fine. Thanks for the info, I didn't know you could use iplayer from here.

Tried that about 2 years ago.  Works fine until it doesn't.  They even refunded me.

Interesting - never had an issue and I've been using it a long time too.

Nice that you guys will be able to watch the England Scotland game.

I however will mostly be watching it from behind the sofa.

My answer to the original post was given after watching the first match of the tournament, on which there was no English commentary. Subsequently, there has been a bilingual option with English as a choice and I am very grateful for that.

I need a translation when I am watching Newcastle.  I was at Old Trafford in the fifties when fans of both teams mingled.  I stood next to a Geordie who kept shouting a phrase which I thought was English but couldn't be sure.  Eventually I asked him what it meant; 'Gi oop the field yu tatta.'

Take my word for it, that DEFINITELY wasn't a Geordie

Yet he was wearing a black & white scarf & seemed most agitated when Newcastle attacked?  Maybe he was a MID - Macken-in-disguise?
