GarryP Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I tried to watch a few programmes on BBC Ent but they were pretty awful. Either I have lost my sense of humour or they really were crap. Certainly not worth Baht 170. But then I do not spend much time in front of the idiot box anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardenedSoul Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 BBC iplayer is easy to watch in Thailand using a proxy. It's even better than live TV as you can choose from any programme over the past week or more. Yeah but you have to watch it on your computer screen rather than on your TV from your Lazyboy. Having said that, anyone with a WDTV media player connected to a UK VPN can watch BBC iPlayer on their TVs. Latest documentaries, soaps, drama etc for free AND watch stuff you've downloaded and stored on your hard drive. Truevisions is SO heading for the bin.

Gers1873 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 We have platinium --- today BBCE is scrambled but L and K are still open. Odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 We have platinium --- today BBCE is scrambled but L and K are still open. Odd? Not odd. BBC Lifestyle and BBC Knowledge are part of the Platinum package, while BBC Entertainment and CBeebies are a la carte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philiplaos Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 We paid for the a la carte BBC channels three days ago, but they are still scrambled. The Lao agent says I have to wait for Bangkok to activate it. I don't understand the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulBax Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 get them all on dreambox, however, you may have to update the software. PM me for further info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Can anyone technically minded tell me if the programmes are being broadcast in the modern 16:9 format, or are the still pushing programmes out in the old 4:3 format Maybe PaulBax as his dreambox will give the relevant detail about the signal? Thanks All the old programmes that I recorded a year or so back have had to be replaced with torrents to get the right format to fill my LCD screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks All the old programmes that I recorded a year or so back have had to be replaced with torrents to get the right format to fill my LCD screen All the BBC channels broadcast by Truevisions (Knowledge, Lifestyle, Entertainment, CBeebies) are standard definition 4:3 signal, even with the HD box; but new shows are shown mostly widescreen format 16:10 aspect ratio, i.e. they have black bars at top and bottom. The channel logo usually overlaps though, so it's not quite a clean cut if you adjust your TV's zoom/crop/ratio setting to make the picture fill the screen. Depends on how good your TV is at adjusting and/or upscaling. None are in HD though (yet )! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Great news this! I was gutted when they took off BBC ent before and I too downgraded to Gold because of it. I will be paying the 170 baht per month for sure, they may be 5 year old repeats (which is an exaggeration anyway) but it is still 10x than anything else on UBC. Not really an exaggeration, I'm now watching True repeats of Top Gear 9 nightly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
