Thai Satellite Tv In Australia

[patongster]

Hello, I want to know if anyone in Australia has a sattelite dish and is able to recieve any thai channels. From the research I have done, Thaicom 5 at 78.5°E (lyngsat) is available but Im not sure if you can pick any thai channels up in Australia.

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

You can alternatively access several thai channels over the internet. Google it.

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).

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:

Is there something else besides soap operas on Thai television.

Bladdy hel_l, if the OP in Oz wants to receive Thai TV channels, than Australian TV must be the pits.

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.

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?
