pedro01 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 OK guys - see if you can help. I'm moving into a new house soon, so I have the choice of putting in cable or satellite. I got a garden, so I don't have any restrictions on where I can point the dish. Do I have to stick with UBC or can I point my dish at some other satellite & get more channels ? I've noticed that when I stay in Hotels in Thailand, they have a completely different range of channels & for sure it ain't UBC. Any advice would be appreciated...

Also in Surin the cable network is in Thai whereas with UBC you can choose your language. Don't know about other parts of the country though. Also with UBC you get dual language with Thai channels ie. 3,5,7,9,11 on certain programmes and most films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOVOX Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 If you get cable, you can cancel the subscription, then get a pirate decoder box and watch UBC for free - just make sure you're out when the cable man comes to turn it off. My ex-girlfriends been doing for over three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying the police don't know about the pirate cds that are sold in Pantip I know the police in Thailand are useless, but they are not that <deleted> !
