bangkok blue Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 I'm no tech expert, but there is a bar in BKK called the crossbar. The owner has set up a slingbox in the UK. I think this transmits a signal to receive TV from there to here or something. Maybe a bit late in the day to sort it, but has anyone thought of doing this?

miltonbentley Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yes I looked into slingbox, maybe the internet connections available in BK are better but I have been assured by people who have it set up in CM that there is no way it would be of broadcast quality in a bar. Passable for although not perfect by any means for watching at home on your PC but that's about it. Sorry Bangkok Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkok blue Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thought it maybe the case. Have just spoke to the channel scheduler at WETV, new channels from Monday.... That crap DD sports from India and Dubai Sports will replace supersports. Tried to see if Dubai sports will show world cup, but all in Arabic and think Al-jazeera have the rights anyway. No go on Astro as signal not available in the north. Advised her that DD sports only shows sport from India and also asked her if there is any option of finding a channel that will broadcast the world cup in English. She will speak to her tech guys and let me know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaimiller Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) Ive just signed up for this Link and for 5 pounds a month you can log on to your computer with an english IP address anywhere in the world. Then if you know someone who has a sky contract in the UK ask them to add online viewing. They then just need to give you the password and username and you can watch all skysports coverage etc free. If your computer has an hdmi output and your TV has an hdmi input join them together and bingo world cup in english from Sky sports in Thailand on a big TV or if you just wish to get English commentry off five live etc this will be enabled also. Just wish i had learnt about this before signing up for True's HD package...lol P.s I am using an AIS super G3 aircard for this and it streams perfect.

bangkok blue Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 That DD Sports is absolute gash though! Would sooner watch the Rolf Harris beard growing channel than the tosh they show on there! It's all youth and Indian sporting events only! Have advised her Al-Jazeera sports is on same satellite as Dubai sports! Nilesat 1 7.0W, it's a long shot but while there is time there's hope. On another note Milton, if you have two UBC boxes or a decent stereo system we may be able to get English commentary on Easy FM 105.5, but only for games shown on channel 3.... Better than nothing.

heazille Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Englands first match will be a 2am kick off here in Chiang Mai.My question is are the bars/pubs whatever allowed to be open by law?

Passable for although not perfect by any means for watching at home on your PC but that's about it. Sorry Bangkok Blue. Slingbox can be of good quality. You have to buffer the stream, meaning that when the program starts and the signal is being sent to you you let it run for 1/2 hour to 1 hour to buffer the stream. This will hopefully allow for the program to run without stopping and rebuffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 found this WC predicition based on a countrys GDP, economic data- interesting And if it's got Serbia in the semis, probably wildly inaccurate. If you want to know who's going to win, look what the bookies offer. They don't make money for nothing. Ignore the English bookies as far as England's concerned, because people stupidly bet them all the time so the price is ridiculously low. If they stay apart, though, it's hard to see past a Brazil/Spain final, with Italy, Argentina and Germany sniffing around as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
