kevc Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I want to buy a receiver to pick up Asaisat 3s anybody can tell me if I need to get anything special or will any basic reciever do the job. Why I'm asking is I'm going to Bangkok and thought I'd pick one up at Ban Mor Market. Thanks.

monty Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 What do you want to watch? For very little money you can get HD capable receivers with usb port(s) so you can even use it as a mediaplayer and/or use it as a pvr. Skybox and openbox spring to mind. Guess over there you're lookin at 2000-2500 Baht for such a receiver. Sent from my GT-I9001 using Thaivisa Connect App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsat Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Any cheap SD or HD box would be the idea as HBO & Nick are also free to view on Asiasat 3s now to as a bonus besides the channels you mentioned above. .

monty Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Baan Mho area in Bangkok has many shops stocking them. Actually many provincial shops sell the ipm HD box for under 2500 Baht. With this you get the full ipm package (on nss6, including a fair few all English channels), not possible with a regular FTA box, and you can add any other satellite if you wish. Also has a usb port for pvr and mediaplayer functions... Sent from my GT-I9001 using Thaivisa Connect App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
