KnooKie Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've read a lot of posts and they seem to contradict somewhat so... TrueSport are showing all the games (and have the rights) but are they showing only in High Definition or also on their normal channels?? I know they have sublet the games to Thai TV also. Is there really no English commentary? If so is there a way around it? Any pointers would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Its panic attack time. Everyone is trying to pull English commentary out of their arse. If it can be had its illegal. The WC 2010 is being broadcast on Thai channels on a rotation bases. 3,5,7,11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rixalex Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 TrueSport are showing all the games (and have the rights) but are they showing only in High Definition or also on their normal channels?? Only one HD channel will have the games as i understand. If you haven't signed up for HD you won't receive any games - not via TrueSport anyway. I know they have sublet the games to Thai TV also. I don't think True Visions are the ones with the rights to sublet. The name of the company with the rights has been mentioned in the news but i can't recall it. Is there really no English commentary? If so is there a way around it? World Cups here in 2002 and 2006, and Euro Cups in 2004 and 2008, have all been the same and before every competition people are always scrambling around trying to make arrangements but in my experience of those previous years, it always results in a blank. I've personally got so used to the lack of English thing that as much as i still hate it, i don't bother getting worked up about it because i know there's nothing that can be done.

If you have internet conection Google, Talksport uk,press listen live,they have the rights for all 64 games.The BBC lost the rights (thank the Lord).As Talksport are a commercial radio channel, you will have adverts, but the commentary team are very good, and are all very bias towards England Wattch thai channel 5 and 7 With the sound down. All the buildup, the game live and post match phone in’s ect Hope this helps. Have a good world cup month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laban Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Thanks for the talksport advice. They have an iPhone app, for live broadcast. Means if you have an iPhone, watch the Thai TV channels (no sound) with the live broadcast on the iPhone in English (get some headphones for an even better experience). I will report once the WC has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) In reading all the threads it seems like Thai OTA channels 3, 7, 9 & 11 will show all the games, with Thai language commentary only. TRUEvisions will also show the games in HD on channel 111 (via a special paid subscription), with Thai language commentary only. (For simultaneous games, only a few, I am not sure which games they will show live?) I am curious to see how good this HD service will be. In 2006 some establishments and individuals were able to get satellite service from Malaysia and/or South Africa which included all the games and English language commentary. Where I was watching, these broadcasts suffered from outages due to rain and were ~ 2 seconds delayed from the Thai broadcast, so we'd hear a loud cheer then see a goal 2 sec. later. A lot of pubs in Bangkok are promoting their WC 2010 offerings but I have not stayed up to speed on who is offering what.

phuket Mike Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 On my TV (Samsung) the remote has a language button which appears to switch the sound track into the original language, i.e. CSI New York into English other US programs on Thai TV into English, Chinese Movies into Chinese etc. For football, English games, FA Cup etc that have been broadcast on CH 7 I get the original English commentary, on CH 3 it's hit and miss some games okay, sometimes it switches off the voices, leaving background sound. I am assuming that the broadcast feed that Thai TV will get will have probably the South African commentary, which they dub over with Thai, so maybe fingers crossed my language button will give me the South African commentary. Anyway I don't have True, nor does anyone else around here so if all else fails I can understand enough Thai to get by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilfhunter Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 the way to go is to get a malaysian satellite box, then you can get good old espn, star sports etc,along with shebby and the rest of them,all talking english..ps you can also get the fa cup and charity shield.several bars in samui have the system.. can't really give out phone numbers on here. enquire in a famous farang bar in hat yai.

rixalex Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I am assuming that the broadcast feed that Thai TV will get will have probably the South African commentary, You assume wrong. They didn't pay the extra required for English commentary, so there will be done. Just as there was none in 2002 and 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks for the info... but the problem is it won't be in sync with the pictures. I also doubt it will be possible to access live game streams from the UK with a Thai IP address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsfbrit Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Those of us in Pattaya who have Sophon Cable still have Multichoice Supersport 3 - which I believe is showing all the World Cup games in English. How SS3 is still there I have no idea - whether SS3 will still be there tomorrow or next week who knows - heres hoping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to find info on true visions HD in English, but the info that I have read is that the promotion gives one month free to cover the world cup and then costs 190 TBH per month thereafter. Can anyone confirm this??? Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last world cup in 2006 I watched the games on Thai TV with the sound turned down then connected over the internet with a friend in the UK via skype and had him put his PC microphone near his TV so I could hear the UK commentary through my laptop. We found that if he had his TV on a terrestrial channel there was a picture/sound sync problem, however if he watched the game in the UK via his Sky box the 'built in digital delay' that you get with all satelite digital channels meant the picture/sound sync problems virtually disappeared and, although not always 100%, it was certainly accurate enough not to spoil my viewing.
