Correct. Only BVN is available here, on Thaicom5 C-band...

Many cable tv operators carry it as well but not Truevisions!

Not enough Dutch/Flemish customers???

There recently was a big issue where Sophon cable (Pattaya) wanted to get rid of BVN, to replace it with yet one more Russian channel.

True BTW also does not have DW (the German World channel), nor any of the Russian channels!

Its a bit old topic but I still want to make a comment.

The BVN channel on Thaicom 5 is on a weak transponder so with the usual

used 1.50 or 1.80 meter dishes for the C band the thai normally use you get a bad signal.

Some times have clear vision sometimes when its clouded have nothing.

What you need is the 2.30 or even bigger dish there is also 3 meter.

Where talking around 7500 baht material here meaning a dish 5500,lnb 1000 and a simple reciever 1000 baht.

It might be FTA but someone has to pay for it to be broadcast on whatever satellite.

They don't give bandwidth away you know.

I thought FTA meant everyone can use it for free, but I must been wrong thinking that.

BVN is indeed on a weak transponder, however in the Pattaya area it comes in prefectly fine on a 7 ft dish (2.1 m).

all in system should be around 5,000 Baht.

The true is a commercialprovider companie if you think they can take this in there assortment

for instance on the KU band and let some dutch/flanders pay for it while its free to air on the C band.

Who are we to say otherwise.

[monty]

Nope, it is exactly that, FTA.

Anybody putting up a dish and a simple FTA reciever can watch it. Totally free.

However expecting your cable/satellite TV provider to include it for free on their system, is totally wrong...

Yep but you have almost same as I have, I have a 7.5 inch dish [2.30meter] well adjusted and this comes very close to

I have a signal of 52 procent on clear days now and a 48 procent on cloudy days.

Before with the 1.50 meter I was bored 50 procent of the time not reaching 20 procent most of the time

Oke understood but looking at the line up from True, they carry BBC (obvious) but also Tv5Monde, TVB(Chinese) and NHK World Premium but that one at a hefty surcharge of 972 THB,

And as you said in a previous post they (True that is) also don't carry DW TV (German), so that's why I was wondering why they don't have more of these FTA Channels, but now I understand.

Thanks for clearing that up !
