Jdietz Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Makro is offering CTH C band boxes @1,990bht, a better choice than Ku band as wont go down just as Newcastle U is about to score the winning goal (wishful thinking!), I have a C band dish just need someone to realign it to Thaicom 5 or is it 6? regards Worgeordie Does anyone know if the channel lineup is the same as the Ku band version? Did CTH duplicate everything on two satellites and is one of them scheduled to go away in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkok blue Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yep! Same jittery picture here... Only occasionally, but noticeable. Was fine for Norwich vs villa game and only did it a couple of times for Liverpool game yesterday. More noticeable now though. Phoned CTH about it, they are aware if the problem and working to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe stadium 1&2 in HD only. Check the website or call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount on the right hand side says 962 Baht to pay, but on the left in the little boxes it says amount now outstanding over 6,000 baht. I'm not worried because I have all receipts, but you couldn't write the script! The guy in 7/11 just punched in 962 Baht manually, wonder how far behind I'll be next month?

Same for us ..total shambles and when you ring the call centre they either don't answer or say don't worry. I think if you didn't pay the monthly amount you still wouldn't get cut off.

piewarmer Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We had a WeTv rep come to collect on Friday, looks like he was doing businesses only, most bills were 6-7K for 2 months. We were called by CTH advising he would be around. Their billing system still needs refining he says. Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 looking at their website it seems that you have to pay 899 a month or if you pay them 24 x 899 upfront, you get 36 months viewing for the price of 24, so 599 a month. 33% discount is tempting but maybe an act of faith to give them 21576 upfront plus the cost of the box - Interested to learn if other tv members have secured better deals with them than those advertised?? And is the program/picture quality consistent and good? I could do without EPL, but I would like good news and financial channels plus movies, so maybe there are better options without shelling out over 20k Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could do without EPL, but I would like good news and financial channels plus movies, so maybe there are better options without shelling out over 20k Thanks in advance Who knows if CTH will still be around in 12 months, certainly hope so.The jury is out, we pay the monthly plan 899 baht. Sky News out of the UK is ok and ABC Australia.Picture quality seems to vary even in good weather but not a major problem so far. If you are not interested in EPL there are quite a few options. TRUE being one . After 77 days we are still waiting for the refund of our 2,000 baht deposit which was supposed to be 45 days when it could be no more than 7 days and all we get. on enquiring is "coming soon".We wont be going back to TRUE..ever. Our second set has IPM which is basically for Thai's but has excellent news programs from Al Jazeera. Channel News Asia and France 24 all in English with some quality announcers and items of interest. Can't comment on movies most people seem to download 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkles Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I should have mentioned that for IPM satellite service we paid 2,300 baht for the dish,installation and box. There are no monthly payments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau thai Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Many thanks Sparkles. Interesting thoughts. I should have mentioned I am in a condo so satellite is out. I hear others talk of problems with True and I lean towards WeTV but I think some farang use the internet and a media box-whatever that is- and get free or almost free stuff, but I am unsure how to set that up and if it would get live financial news. Maybe someone out there can fill in the blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinBKK Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 It irritates me i have no way to record the 3am games and must stay up all night. Having no PVR in itself is pretty poor but then not to repeat the game the next morning just blows my mind. What do other people do is there no solution to this problem?

uptheos Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 It irritates me i have no way to record the 3am games and must stay up all night. Having no PVR in itself is pretty poor but then not to repeat the game the next morning just blows my mind. What do other people do is there no solution to this problem? For me as a premier league neutral, I used to watch all the big games, as they were repeated the next day. Last season I watched every Spurs and Man city game and a heck of a lot of the others. On this basis I would gladly go back to paying for the gold package I had from true in a heartbeat and the rest of the programs were better quality too. I do understand that for those who only have an interest in one particular premier league team, CTH is a good deal, with a better quality picture. It blows my mind trying to understand why they don't show repeats the next day and this season I'm limited to picking my games and watching Gary Lineker on MOD. Unfortunately I'm not picking the exciting games it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
