WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 No. Also with a dreambox you need to make a distinction if the satellite signal is lost, or the server connection. Or that the think just locked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacationman Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 While shopping for a new satellite system last week we were told that the Dream Box will no longer work after 15 July 2012.... due to True changing Satellites. We have no idea if this is true or not, but I guess everyone will find out in the next day or so. We ended up purchasing the Supernet HD Box.

lexilis Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 About four months ago I wanted to get a Dreambox installed at my house and when I finally got the Thai installer guy to come he said that instead of Dreambox had a new box called "Openbox" which was "newer". I dont know anything about this stuff so I said OK. The Openbox has been great, gets all of the True Platinum channels plus several in HD. I hear that Dreambox will no longer work after next week. I dont know if that applies to this "Openbox" also. Does anybody else know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If you are receiving True by any means other than paying for a regular subscription, expect your service to go down this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldeBellPedr Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I read somewhere recently that True had found away to block its signals going to Dreambox - all to do with their signal leaking out that meant they couldn't show the European football championships.

bangkok blue Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I give it one week until an upgrade or replacement system is in place. People have too much money to lose..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 We got in touch with our mechanic and seller of dreambox when I saw the thread that all dreamboxes are going to be shut down and what he told me was simply that the old dreamboxes were going to be useless after the 16th but the HD boxes were still going to be fine. We have had a HD dreambox for the past 11 months and everything is still working great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) True has announced that there will be no signal for anyone, between 11pm and 9am tomorrow (I think I read it right). They say it's because they are changing their system or something like that........will be interesting to see this thread after 9am tomorrow, It was on that ticker tape thingy and see George's post below.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Apparently the encryption has improved. And to a level that makes it unlikely to crack it in the usual ways. I can see alternative ways to get the same content to a TV screen near you of course, but that may take some time to come up with something convenient.

junglechef Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The HD Dreambox suppose to still work, anyone have one and is it working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 As said earlier, we have the dreambox HD but unfortunately it seems to have stopped working this morning. Havent really had too much of a chance to re scan the programmes but will do so later and see if its on but as yet, I can say that the Dreambox HD seems to be not working.

Satcommlee Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The Encryption has now gone to NDS, which in the UK they have been trying to crack since 1997, so don't hold your breath for a solution any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommoPhysicist Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) The HD Dreambox suppose to still work, anyone have one and is it working? Mine works fine for the non-premium channels. Not that it gets used for anything except Lakorn Tv, since our village got internet. Trues quality sucks big time, I use the internet to download HD everything.

NancyL Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Even if you wanted to come clean and sign up for True, it probably couldn't have been done yesterday. Went by the True office a couple times at Kad Suan Kaew and the place was mobbed with angry-looking Thai people, standing around because there's really no place to sit. They had four or five staffers behind the counter and they looked very, very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely they were demanding to know how much compensation they would get for the 10 hours True was down.........or they were all complaining that their dreambox isn't working.

I dropped in to check on moving my telephone service over to True, and they were so rattled they asked me to please go see DTAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
