Is True Vision Satellite Tv Down

[indothai]

As of 6:28pm local time, Bangkok Sathorn is still down.

[RKASA]

TrueVisions TV website now says their satellite is down and they have loss communication with the satellite. They also state they do not know if the problem is temporary or not. Strange most of the over the air signals from our antenna are gone too.

In many places the over the air signal is relayed to the local transmission stations via the same Sat. so they would not have any input. It effects Dtv and other services as well as True. It's the big one they don't ever want to see happen, and it just did.:jap:

Our local cable has restored 3-7-9 but 5 is still frozen at last frame grab. 7 was the first restored and immediately told people not to panic - 3 was restored about 30 minutes later.

it's back

A panicky Chiang Rai TV poster assumed a coup and posted such on another thread (which is locked now). Yes, always assume the worst possible scenario!

(I though about opening a thread with the title "Meteor Wipes Out Bangkok," but thought I'd wait a few minutes to see if the service came back up).

Thank goodness I had some rabbit ears to hook to my TV until the channels came back on around 8pm. Those rabbit ears allowed the wife to get a fuzzy picture of Channel 3, 5, & 7 and lower her blood pressure (yeap, she's a Thai soap show junky....if she can't see her soap/talk shows she would probably pop a blood vessel).

No doubt TRUE will give us all types of excuses for the satellite being down. Probably some engineer still under the influence from songkran fell asleep and pushed the wrong buttons. TiT.

just in time for American Idol

[samuijimmy]

Astro mostly down too, no Aljzeera, CNN, BBC, Aus Network, only Bloomberg... for news .... Star Movies OK, Nat Geo... and that's about it.... No HD channels.... But music channels OK.

Been on & off a day or two now... so something gone wrong somewhere up there!.... oh dear!

I did not get much of an answer from my local Astro guy either...

I still can't get HBO Asia in my condo. Does anybody know if there's a downtime of HBO since yesterday?
