Alternative To True Visions (ubc)

[Ned]

I live out in the countryside outside Chaing Mai with a dial up computer. I want to be able to get espn/star sports which I believe will soon be removed from True Visions. Someone mentioned something which sounded like Acuilar. Anyone using that?

Cheers

If you have a look in this web site you will find a lot about satellite set ups that can get you what you want. http://www.jsat.tv/ Like the agila or the south african satellite they will answer all your questions.

I have UBC in BKK and if they get rid of ESPN I am dead.... Of course I only watch it once or twice a week but it has what I justify the 2000 baht for..... If my F1 goes, I go with it..... Can anyone give a senario for what satelitte package you are actually using, where and aprox cost.

Thanks in advance

I think ESPN has the most expensive licensing cost of all the cable channels, but there are not that many subscribers who actually watch it. Thais aren't really interested in the sports that ESPN has, and soccer matches from the UK and Europe get more viewership. Perhaps this is the reason why it's being pulled. I for one don't watch the sports channels at all.

Maybe they will move it to 66..qualifying is on 66...........I'm fed up with UBC already but don't really want a hugh dish in the garden.

They are currently running a message across the screen in Thai and English that says they have changed their number to 0-2725-2525. But they are still sending out the old number in their emails. Amazing.

I have a Dynasat move dish (20,000 baht). I can view channels from many different satellites. Some satellites come with different packages which are possible to get a subscribtion to here in Thailand. ESPN is carried on many different satellites subscription services.

Although, there is an option avaliable where you don't have to pay the subscription for one of the satellites that carries ESPN.........but we're not allowed to discuss the details of that on this forum.
