World Cup Coverage On Thai Tv Gets Even Worse.

[Lite Beer]

A lot of people up here in Isaan get Thai TV via a C Band Satellite dish because the terrestrial signal is not very good.

The first two days of the tournament were ok but now the signal is cut for the duration of the game.

The message on the screen says that we can only view the football with a terrestrial aerial, not the satellite signal.

So the only way I can watch the World Cup is by sticking up an aerial and watching it through a snow storm.

Pathetic.

I have a picture of the TV screen message but for some obscure reason it will not upload.

If your internet connection is fast enough you should be able to watch it on here

live streaming football

The internet is crap here also.

Seeing as I am receiving official legal Thai channel 3,5,7,9 etc it seems crazy to not be able to watch the football.

Thank God for BBC . ITV and torrents. I will have to watch it tomorrow with Motty , Shearer , Hanson and the rest.

I understand your frustration LB have you given True Vision a thought, You can get a cheep package for about 500 baht per month you get 42 channels 3,5,7, 11 are included with a couple of English channels. This not True Visions doing its FIFA on pirating.

I ditched True over a year ago.

By my thinking the situation should be the same as the C Band coverage. Thai channels by satellite means no football. I do not know if this is the situation though.

I am quite happy with the games the next day on torrents and Match of the Day etc.

I just cannot understand why the official legal signal is not allowed for the football.

Thanks. I found this post on there.

It would appear that Fifa do not want anyone watching their competition.

What a bunch of Prats.

apparently fifa and rs have stopped the transmissions on c-band as you will find the the channels only stop transmitting when the games start. the only way to see them if using to is to use an old fashioned television ariel. Go Fifa.

No problem in surin , i use my true dish and box which i finished paying for (eg 1 year contract completed) then canceled my normal true and got the one time card from them, free, which gets 37 channels , mostly crap but has clear viewing of the normal thai tv channels.....and i also watch them on a 4 meg internet connection full screen from bbc or itv using my 5 dollar onetime subscription from UKIVPN, so my g/f can watch in thai, and i watch in english...:)

My understanding is the cutting of C Band was done withe muscle arm of FIFA over concerns of pirating of the signal into Cambodia, Lao and Myanmar. Also RS wants every baht out of this that they are entitled to legally and hang the fan.

So I now gather. I cannot understand the difference between Channel 3.5.7.9 etc on the C Band and the same Thai Channels on the True platform. Can that also not be pirated?

On a side note during the Premier League season I get ESPN Premier League coverage on C Band complete with Burmese commentary. Nearly as bad as Shebbie Singh at half time. No other ESPN only the football on Saturday and Sunday.

i emailed fifa for confirmation of the pirating reason but have yet to receive a reply, i have noticed the tickatape stating no english because of pirating seems to have vanished now
