Free To Air Television In Pattaya

[pattayadingo]

I am set downstairs with a dreambox and satellite but I want to set up a television in the bedroom for the g/f to be able to watch Thai TV. Say Channels 3,5,7. Or something a bit more diverse while I am watching football and other English language TV.

An indoor aerial does not work. I have no cable TV either.

I have been offered a one off set up for 6000 Baht with no further payments to get FTA television. The man making the offer refused to say what was involved. Maybe he did not want me checking out similar systems at lower prices.

Can I simply go and buy a set-top box here and do I need to link it to an external aerial?

What are my options? And any idea of costs involved?

TIA.

If you look at this page: http://www.jsat.tv/packs-thai.html then the basic package is around 9500 THB. (This would be a one time fee only)

It would involve installing a Sat Dish

However when I installed the same system up-county it was in total around 3000 THB (I am not 100% sure about the company name (maybe another member can confirm) which I used, was PSI)
