farangpattaya Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Got connected yesterday as a replacement of UBC. UBC dishes aren't allowed on our building. TMN has got 92 channels; the first 40 mainly in Thai language (Thai and foreign channels) the rest is a good mix of: English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, French, Japanese, Indian and Russian. Plenty of Sports Channels Cost: entrance fee THB 1500 and THB 400 per month if you pay per 6 months. Quality (after a quick chack): Reasonable. The status bar on my tv shows in most cases "reasonable/fair" and even "good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The status bar on my tv shows in most cases "reasonable/fair" and even "good" have they got offices in Pattaya/jomtien I've been using them for more than 6 months now, after I sacked BTV for incompetence and generally providing a lousy service. TMN has been much better and I have had no issues with them. Unfortunately, because of the decision by DSTV Africa to re-allocate its satellites, we have lost some of the more useful channels - Sky News; Zone Reality; MNET Movies I and 2 and probably many others that I don't normally watch. This problem is going to affect all the cable providers I believe. TMN has an office at the top of Soi Boonsampham (Khao Noi), not far from the German bakery and near the junction with Soi Khaotalo. There was and maybe still is another office where Soi Nernplabwan (or maybe it's Soi Country Club, can't remember) crosses the Sukhumvit relief road, along the railway. I'm only paying 1000 Baht per 3 months by the way! DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a right at the 7/11 and go down about half a kilo, it's right across from the small park next to the Nernplabwan Government area.

patrickinpattaya Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 How many english language channels are there on this cable network would you say? I had UBC last year but got rid when I returned to the UK, looking for a cheaper alternative as we hardly watch the tv. Would you say this TMN is good value for money compared to say Pattaya cable?

luckyluke Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 ^ About 20 . Good value for money according to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiabeachboy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 On a related subject, can you rent a dvr (digital video recorder) or similar device from your cable company in order to record or pause programs? I am addicted to mine here in the US and almost never watch a program live. The cable company charges me an extra $10 per month, which is about the best $10 I have ever spent. I will be a part-time (a few months a year) resident there so I really don't want to have to buy one and then deal with it when I leave. Also, do any of the channels carry American football (gridiron) there? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We received 4 games per week ( 2 regular Sunday afternoon games, plus the Sunday and Monday Night games.) Also all playoff games and the Super Bowl.

puuchai299 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Many of there English channels have repeats,sometimes to the point where i just turn the tv off,and it's not just daily/weekly repeats,many times there broadcasting the same stuff 2 and 3 months later.I started to use them exactly one year ago but a lot of the good channels have now gone and been replaced with some that i had previously on BTV.I changed to TMN because they guaranteed a clear picture on all channels and at that time BTV's channels where 40% unclear,and when there engineer checked it he just said oh thats normal,TMN offered 92 clear channels for 25% less on the rental price also.TMN customer service is better by far.
