I have only a small selection left. Many have gone already. I made a transponder scan this morning and - as I said - not much left.

Midnight South Africa time will be 5am Thai time tomorrow................

The light is fadeing. I'm having a hard time seeing. No more pirated supersports. I'm panicking. What am I to do. That's alright mate pay up and go honest. Honest in Thailand?

gotlost, do you actually have DSTV and are able to contribute to this thread? It's just that you seem to post on any active thread going with usually innane twoddle. The sun is shinning out there you know, grab a cool drink and a good book and drag yourself away from ThaiVisa for a while.

For what it's worth, I only have 1 sports channel, BBC E and BBC L and Mnet series left. Oh, and my card is a legitimate card, paid for in advance. So I stand to lose 7 months of subscription. The card wasn't cheap either.

On another note, I've just had Telkon installed. I may post a serperate thread about it.

Now 1st June but still surprisingly have Supersport 3 and Fashion TV, where the History channel used to be, everything else gone. Shame about your lost 7 months, maybe your 'honest John' provider will give you a refund!. Stupid thought! What do Telkon offer, anything similar to Multichoice? Couldn't see much apart from Telecommunication services when I searched.

Agree with you about gotlost, must be great to have such a high post count.

What do Telkon offer

TelkomVision © Lyngemark Satellite, last updated 2010-05-29 -

http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/telkomvision.html

Looks to me as if all now are the same price per year

take your pick

True

Astro

Telkom

PM me if anyone has found something cheaper please

[Cromarty]

I've had Astro in the past and Telkom is pretty much identical. The big advantage for me is Ten sport which shows lots of cricket.

But it doesn't come close to the football coverage of True. Obviously not as good as Multichoice, no BBC L or BBC E.

I got a card for 9,000. Not cheap but cheaper than True.

[sas_cars]

Multichoice is still online. Not dead. I think it's a great news for whole of Asia and wherever it's c band transmissions are covering

Mine comes via the local cable company & just now all the Supersport channels are gone.

I'm still receiving a signal from DStv. Although the screen doesn't show a picture, the decoding is fine, the receiver is showing the EPG information for all channels.

Right now (still) working with sound+video:

SuperSport 1

SuperSport 3

History Channel

So it looks like the channels are still there, just the encryption has been changed. Looks like the same trick done by Telkomvision.

Yes same here, the interesting thing is that the channels that do not use the DM box still work fine with picture so the Satellite us still working

Is it possible to find out what encryption they are using? I'm sure some wag will find it if there is a way... It does seem strange that they have left 3 channels open. Don't want to raise hopes but if they are closing the Sat down why hav'nt they done it? It's a puzzle... maybe someone has an explanation..

Don't you know? They have a connection with the BIB.

The encryption is still the same, but obviously with an extra gimmick. It looks like the same trick Telkomvision is using.

DStv stated earlier that the signal would remain available for Asian cable tv providers. Since SuperSport has vanished from all Thai cable tv companies, one can conclude that they were pirating the signals.

SS 5 and SS 6 are back now, also.

Hopefully these channels will remain open, with a bit of luck I can watch the world championship on SS5 this sunday!
