Truevisions loses EPL

[garygooner]

I'm a bit behind the times, but I've just found out that TrueVisions won't be showing EPL for the next few seasons at least. 

JAS have won the rights to broadcast EPL until 2028. 

That means you may be able to watch a live match on free Thai Channel Mono29, and also streaming on Monomax. 

Interesting to see how this all pans out.

Thanks for your post. I'm a TVisions football follower and payer of 2600Bht per month membership. You can guess how unhappy i am with this change, i wonder how much TV are going to reduce my monthly bill by ?

[garygooner]

Yeah, I have the platinum package. 

No word about price reduction of course, just some extra channels to make up for losing EPL. Wouldn't be surprised if those extra channels were Chinese, Korean & Japanese.

Get a decent IPTV subscription and dump True visions, you get all your EPL and much more interesting channels at a fraction of the platinum package price.
 

[garygooner]

Actually JAS tv have bought the PL and FA Cup for the next 6 seasons.

I did read that JAS would like as many people as possible to be able to watch the football including AIS & True customers, so maybe True can buy 'some' PL matches. 

We'll have to wait and see.

Yep, yet more sports channels guaranteeing yet more wall-to-wall coverage of yet more pointless badminton, tennis, basketball & golf tournaments televised live from China, South Korea and Japan with solely local lingo & Thai commentary, I strongly suspect.

Looks like they've won the rights for both EPL & FA Cup games in Thailand, Cambodia & Laos until at least 2030/31: ☹️

And it doesn't look like Truevisions are going to get any look-in - although maybe I'll be able to watch live games on my titchy little AIS mobile screen instead?? 🤣

Despite all the brave words currently being uttered at the JAS end at the present time, I seriously wonder whether we could end up having another CTH-style fiasco on our hands in practice when and if they eventually realise that they have bitten off more than they can chew.

We don't all have an internet connection to do this.

That seems unusual - doesn't all of Thailand have internet access?

And, even if we did, constant buffering could well get in the way of uninterrupted viewing of games, I imagine.

Maybe you only have experienced knock off subscriptions. Or out of date about what is available.

 

Official subscriptions from licensed (legal) / authorised  companys are perfect pictures ..  with zero buffering. You need reasonable internet access of course.

 

True last season was perfect. Zero buffering. Not one buff ( ha ha ) the whole season.

 

The new content provider will be the same, I am sure. It is a well established company  / App.. .. 

 

I have downloaded the App onto my TV already.. and awaiting info re signing up. And confirmation it is MAX that is providing EPL.  It is a Thai company I read and not the USA MAX.

 

(There is an American company called HBO MAX .. soon (or already) to be called MAX.  No authorised service to Thailand the App store says.

 

I wonder if some might get confused.

The app on your TV is Monomax right? 

Thai TV channel 29 is Mono and that will show some EPL apparently.

Well i've just received my June Truevisions bill and low and behold its been reduced to 2100bht from 2600bht. I assume its because of the removal of the EPL football element.

Yeah, I got a text from AIS this afternoon. 199 baht per month for all Premier League and FA matches!  That is insanely cheap!

Thanks for the info on packages.  Just from a quick look, it seems you won't be able to watch matches on a PC, that means straining my eyes to watch the matches on my phone

Can't view via their website. So you'll either need a device (iPad) that you can cast to your TV. Or if you have a Smart TV you should be able to install their app and watch it directly. Worst case is to buy a cheap Android box.

They do say it'll be available on Apple TV before the start of the season so that may be an option for laptops or PCs, but remains to be seen.

Yep.  And for 1 year 3,000 baht is good value.  I think True was twice that. Forgotten already !

 

I have already subscribed for 12 months.  Working fine on my tablet and I can cast to my TV. Nothing of interest to me, till the season starts.

 

Direct viewing via the MAX App on the TV is not behaving.  It keeps telling my login details are wrong. They aint ! And the taking a pic of the QR code thingy not work.

 

I screen dumped everything on joining,  as I went.  Email address, phone number, PW. 

 

Hey Ho. I will email their help desk when in the mood.  I was trying to change PW as it was not happy  ..  it said they will email a new PW. But no email ever arrives. Tried it 3 times.

 

Not sure why I am posting about this .. maybe testing if any one else having the problem.

 

I notice they are showing the World Club Cup.   But only live.  There is no repeat stream option.  I can stream repeats another way ( DAZN ).

 

I hope they have watch repeats option for EPL or it will be a freaking disaster for me. I watch nearly every game .. spread over the following. week.  Keeps me out of mischief.
