dottie Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I live in a condo and get my cable TV service from a local provider which the condo management arranged as an alternative to True (since there were so many problems with them). However, since the weekend, I haven't been able to get BBC World which I normally get as part of the service. When I called the service provider, I was told that now BBC World can only be received via True which no longer sells on the rights for other service providers to broadcast this channel. I don't know much about how cable TV rights are arranged, so I was wondering if this is correct. I had previously had a TV package from True but their service was so bad that I cancelled it and swore never to get any service from them again. Could anyone shed any light on this? Apologies if this is in the wrong sub-forum. I've only just figured out how to create a post ... slow, I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfr Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I seem to recall that BBC World was going to be dropped from the lineup at some point in the near future ... possibly by now. Not sure why but I heard several people complaining. I think this is for UBC but I am not sure. What programs on BBCWorld will you miss the most ?

jeffer Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If you mean BBC World News then it's available on other cable providers. I have it on in the background now and don't have UBC or True, just the cheap local cable that everyone who won't pay the price for UBC has. Just a matter of finding what's available where you are but being in a condo might mean you don't have a lot of say in the matter. I thought the channel UBC dropped was BBC Entertainment, least that's why people I know canceled their UBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalbanana Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 BBC World has been on almost every cable service I have come across in Thailand besides True. Also free on Internet as mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebebe Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've got BBC World on my cheap cable-TV at home, it's one of the only channels worth watching. You probably won't be able to get it in a condo, and if you can then it will be up to the management. Best, I think, to watch it online; they also have a YouTube channel with one-minute summaries.
