How Can I Get Super Sport / Astro Super Sport In Bangkok?

[mail4matt]

I have been a resident of the Pin Klao area for around 4 months now. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to subscribe to True Visions in a hope that I would get to see some Formula 1 and some Cricket.

My Formula 1 hopes have been answered, but still no cricket!! I know that many pubs and bars show super sport (the south african DSTV channel), which shows live cricket and rugby.

So...

If anyone out there is a subscriber to super sport/ astro super sport and can inform me of how I can subscribe to it (so i can see some cricket!!), I would be very grateful!

Thanks in advance

Matt

I don't think the Astro satellite covers as far north as Bangkok.

The c-band signal from DSTV is an option, with a large dish,

but you will probably have trouble getting the card.

Thank you for the really quick reply!! I had a quick scout around on those sites but i must admit, i'm a bit lost when it comes to 'satellite footprints' - i was hoping that I might just be able to pay a company some money and they would come and install it for me (a friend that I work with has super sport for free on his basic TV channel in his rented apartment)!!

I'm just completely confused by the whole thing and all i want to do is watch a bit of cricket!!

Oh well, think this might prove to be more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks all the same...

I've seen Astro in Bangkok, though have no idea what kind of dish it was.

Getting cards for them could be a problem - they don't sell them in 7-Elevens like Dtac or AIS, and South African satellite is bloody expensive judging from previous threads.

Is it possible to get cricket on free to air Indian channels? Then you'd just need a dish, a one time investment.

It is probably the first thread about satellite TV where no one plugs in Jsat, though they are pretty much useless when it comes to pirated stuff like Astro or SA Dreamcast (?). On the Internet they tell you they do the dishes only, but they can put you in contact with the right people to get those illegal SIM cards, that's all.

Many of the cable companies provides the SS chanels . Udon Thani has them so I would think they are available through other cable providers.

Which means what, did we miss something here?

Its very easy! Ive been watching the cricket for 5 years now here in Pattaya! 470 UK pounds a year for the card and all the rest of the gear is obtainable here in LOS, The card has to be sent from S.Africa (DHL), Its then activated once you phone them and thats it!!! Simple!!!!PM me if you want to know more

Bullys (between Sukumvit Soi 4 and Soi 2) has Astro. The owner said he paid 50,000 baht to set it up. Talk to him (if the fee didn't scare you off). His nickname is ET.

Astro (Malayasia) is available via satellite in Bangkok, I have been watching at The Big Mango Bar Sukhumvit Soi 4. They have ~ 10 Olympic channels (maybe nine channels and one preview/PIP channel).

SuperSport from South Africa is also available here.

Has anyone heard that SuperSports is changing Satellite and may not be available after May 2010?

Still no word whether DS TV / SuperSport will use the C Band capacity needed for Thailand to receive the signal.

Good Day All,

Does anybody have an update on whether the Super Sports Channel will be going away soon?

I really need to get a cricket channel at my house but would hate to lash out big dollars on Super Sports if its future is uncertain.

Thanks

See http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Dstv-Startin...ml#entry3568962

for the latest news on SuperSport.

Not good.

Sorry to dash your hopes but it looks like DSTV will no longer be available in Thailand, I believe the service terminates and changes to another satellite on the 31/05. This channel/band will not extend to Thailand. I am not an expert but there are numerous posts regarding this . . .
