Will27 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi people. I have True Visions and it's dreadful. I'm starting to miss my current affairs and local news shows. Not to mention the footy season starts soon. I know the Oz channel is available as It's been in hotels I've stayed at in CR. The problem I have is that I'm renting so don't want anything really expensive ie lots of channels and a huge dish. Was wondering if anyone knows a local shop that could provide the dish (it's a small one), box and set it up for a reasonable price.

skybluestu Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 What exactly are you after? I have true platinum and get plenty of news & current affairs from the news and documentary channels and lots of sport too. Are you specifically after news and sport from Oz? Does footy mean Rugby Union/League, Aussie Rules, Soccer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soap Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Will I would check out the Australia Network Web site i think you will find you can receive this channel FTA on 1S-8 @ 166%E but its C-BAND that means about a 6 foot dish i know you could receive this channel on True Visions up to last week when they changed the channels around, but the signal was poor and the picture kept on breaking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does footy mean Rugby Union/League, Aussie Rules, Soccer? Am after the Australian Network Channel. Has shows like "Four Corners", local news and the AFL. There were recently 2 test matches that were being played and True Vision, in their wisdom decided to play beach soccer and Indian basket weaving.

Sven We all know you are renowed for your Generous nature. And in order to stop your 65cm dish and Dynasat receiver gathering a lot more dust that its gathered in the past 2years you let your system go for a song. CMJANTJE Very glad to hear you have Svens system "working like a dream" There are a couple hundred Farang in Chaingrai who have the same set up that Sven gave away also gathering dust in some outhouse who would love to know what use you have put it too for it to "work like a dream" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
