True Epl Coverage

[PST]

Slightly off topic,but does anyone else on here have sound issues with the HD Sport channels on True?,the volume seems much higher on the non HD channels,and I've noticed this on several TV's,not just mine.

Off topic, does anyone have any reco's on what tv's are good right now?

Will probably go for a 46-50 incher if I take the plunge...I prefer the LCD's as I like the black screen when the tv is turned off.

Samsung LED hands down! Just a question, but if the picture is still good on your tv, then why not just purchase a separate stereo system? Gotta be cheaper!

What is an LED?

You lost me a little there with the stereo system, I can't get no sound from the HDM1 line....how would the stereo system work?

Try Numchai on Sukhumvit Rd they have a good selection in there and the service is good.

Cheers Rick, funny enough that is where the CTH guy recommended.

No worries mate. I have bought numerous things from them and have been very happy with the service.

I just checked and you are correct. Hardly a biggie though is it.

To be honest mate my original question was what type of tv not what shop...but I'll head down there anyway.

My box is hooked up via audio Red, white and yellow leads, to my AJ sound system.

[bangkokrick]

HH Yes I got that, but the point is that you can check out the picture quality/prices and choose for yourself. They have a large assortment. I agree with BB though LED is the way to go.

[bangkok blue]

LED is a slightly newer version for HD tvs IMO a little better too.

Ok got it, so take the tv problem out of the equation. I'll have a think about that. To be honest didn't really want to spend right now.

[bangkok blue]

You should have similar audio points at the back of your tv too. I use these for my GMM box.

Maybe not for you,but if you have a business and the customer can't hear,then yeS,it's very much a 'biggie'.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Just to put my two pennyworth of input on this subject.

I've been reading this thread but I have never had any tv subscription from True or anyone before as I have only just moved into our new house and the new tv ( a 50" Panasonic plasma) arrived only last week.

As I am very keen on getting the EPL I'd already registered with CTH but after 2 weeks I heard nothing. So on Friday last week (19th July) at 12:30pm I contacted the local cable installer here in Nakhon Phanom (thanks to Bangkok Blue for the link). He arrived at 1:15pm only to be told that the cabling stopped about 500metres from our house - doh!! A no-go then.

So, using the the list of satellite installers from the same link, I contacted the local one at about 3:30pm. He confirmed that he could do the job and at 5:00pm the same day he brought and fixed up the dish, the set top box and wired everything up and by 6:00pm I had a fully working system.

They did a first class job, very neat and tidy and I watched the Open Golf championship from Muirfield on Fox HD Sports Extra over the weekend (superb picture).

I subscribed to the 10 months paid (2 months free) subscription - 8990 baht, 1800 baht for the deposit on the box and 500 baht for he installation - plus tax.

So if you want to get CTH just ignore their Call Centre and go to your local satellite man and see what they can offer.

Nice. Sounds like a very clean job there. So you didn't need to pay for the dish? I'm being quoted Bt1200.00

Regarding your last sentence, it is already well established going via a middle man is the best way, going direct sounds like a minefield.

No. There were no other charges made. The dish must have been included with the 500 baht installation charge.

I got ripped for Bt 1,200.00 I should have kicked up more of a fuss but I think because I was so relieved to get this thing I just let it ride. Usually I'm shouting and screaming.

Anyone noticed BPL channels 131-134 have gone off? Just a blank screen. No test signal.... Except on 135. Also 136 has changed name from BPL 6 to Arena 6. Hopefully this means we'll get some programmes on here soon. Hopefully the Barclays Asia trophy on Wednesday!

Yep bb and true sports plus, to be fair i think it's going to be like this for a while, teething problems i think it's called at least they have a month to sort it out !

[bangkok blue]

It's fine be me, as long as the signal improves. CTH announced that they will be a split screen option so you can watch 4 games at once. I suspect this could be what channel 136, the arena channel is for.

Nice.

I'm still wondering if they will still have the same programmes as true, ie, the friday football today and others...hope so.

[bangkok blue]

I reckon so, as all programmes, previews and reviews supplied by PLTV. How else could CTH fill content on 6 channels? Only so many times you can show re-runs.

[brewsterbudgen]

I'm still interested to know if anyone in central Bangkok has successfully got CTH.

Got mine installed up here in Khonkaen, very happy with what i have seen so far even though the BPL channels ain't on at the moment, it has Australian network which i am very happy CTH has it as i like to watch some ARL and AFL games and keep up to date with the news there.

I've been reading that, but can't find confirmation from someone in central Bangkok (preferably a condo) who has had CTH installed.

My condo are adamant that they can't get it.

[bangkok blue]

That's probably because they are not in a serviceable cable area. This means you will need to organise a satellite installation.
