As long as you have the gear (dish, receiver etc...) you can align you dish to access the Thai TGN free channels. Topfield satellite receivers are good. You can align to Optus D2 satellite. Satellite : = OPTUS D2 at 152 E (same position) Downlink Frequency (for tuning channel)= 12706.5 MHz Downlink Frequency System : = 12733.5 MHz Polarization : = Vertical (same) Symbol Rate : = 22.500 Ksps Forward Error Correction : (FEC) = 3/4 More info at : http://www.thaitvglobal.com You can alternatively access several thai channels over the internet.

TGN is a single TV channel - Thai TV Global Network. http://www.thaitvglobal.com/index_eng.php It includes programmes repeated from several of the regular Thai terrestrial channels, and is available on a number of satellites worldwide. In the UK, Mr Thaksin - and many Thai wives - watch it on the Hotbird satellite at 13E. I have a friend who has a nice little sideline doing installations. In Thailand you can see TGN in Ku band on Thaicom at 78.5E. See the following link for a number of satellite options (you have to search for the channel). http://www.lyngsat.com/ I suppose the interesting question for Australia concerns whether (in addition to TGN) any of the regular channels like TV5 can be picked up with a big dish on C band. I think I have seen claims that TV5 can be. There may be something in this forum: http://www.vetrun.com/forums/index.php Edited October 5, 2008 by citizen33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one thai drama only (thankfully) on weekdays but it does repeat morning and night. I am not into thai TV but as long as she who thinks she rules is watching comedies, latest music clips, stage music shows, informative Thailand items I tend to watch with her and find those items quite enjoyable.

desertrat Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Thai TV is appalling, last night I glanced at the TV, at 6pm. (kiddy viewing time ?), the scene was a morgue, realistic, ghoulish dead bodies were shown, and a woman being wheeled in started vomiting large amoints of blood. The "entertainment" I saw on a minibus from Ayutthaya at 3pm. was a succession of limbs being sawn off with a chainsaw, and flying around the screen. Quite a few children on the bus. I know it's Asia but am I too sensitive? Edited October 7, 2008 by desertrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
