C T H In Chiangmai?

[bangkok blue]

Khonyaijen, do you also have to pay 2mths up front in 15 days? 1961bht, on top of the 4200bht installation/rental charge? On the typed out bill it includes 2mths, but tech guy wrote that figure in pen! I'm confused!

Well Alfies up and running, first impressions of general use are not great, no info button, couple of channels (Fox Crime, Bio) are in Thai, programme schedule doesn't seem to be working on many channels, one plus is that you can set all the favourites to be on all the time and also all the HD channels are in one group.

To be fair, i have only ever really watched the sport (mostly football) and news on satellite so it will do for me.

Footnote : The Premier league channels are not set up yet

All set up, pretty much agree with the above.

Bring of the EPL!

Plus you get the AUSTRALIA Channel which alone is worth 500 baht month !

I'd gladly lose it for 100 Baht

To be fair, the Australian Channel would be great if it didn't have so many aussies on it

[alfieconn]

Looks like i have lost Star Sports, Fox sports and Bio, anyone else ?

[bangkok blue]

All good with me Alfie... When did it go off? I know they did an update this morning which added EPL channels and allowed a couple to be changed to english.

All good here this morning alfie.

BB -Have they allocated channels for the EPL

[bangkok blue]

Yes, I think it starts from around channel number 130. I got up and received a service update message which added them when I turned the box on.

Anyone have the WETV / CTH cable box installed? Think they are charging around 950 a month. Was wondering if this will have dual language function. Have the WETV / PSI box at the moment and the people said I just need to change that. Cheers for any help.

[bangkok blue]

Wetv seemed unsure as to the system. They were still doing tests last week and advised these will go on for a month to a month and a half. I went with the dish option to be sure I'd be ready for kick off.

[Ned]

Reckon I'll watch the first couple of rounds in a bar and just see how this new provider comes to the party before handing over the cash.

[naboo]

3199+ VAT is the fee in Lamphun, 1800 for equipment, 500B installation and 899B for the first month. No technicians employed to install yet though.

Does the CTH set top box need to be plugged into the internet

or do they use a smart card

Edited July 13, 2013 by shaun77

[bangkok blue]

No Internet needed. Internal encryption box.

[bangkok blue]

Plenty of wetv staff at the Chiangmai FC game today. Had a little booth, but price was 350; their old channel line up. Asked in guy and said new box 1800 baht. But not ready til next month. I'd get a dish if I were you!

[Rob5060]

Is WETV only on cable

[gennisis]

I spent a few hours last night browsing through the CTH channels...for me...nothing special...but I did notice that the pictures..normal and HD were excellent...better than True. I have the dish set up.

[bangkok blue]

I did exactly the same. FX HD seems good with up to date shows, quite a few interesting documentary channels. Nat Geo seem good, fox sports news is a great addition, as is sky news. Watched an interesting interview with some guy from chulankorn Uni' about ASEAN. On oz network. SD channels defo better quality than true. Can't wait for EPL to start now!

[bangkok blue]

Yes wetv only on cable.

[Rob5060]

Have BTRS got a shop or is it call only

[bangkok blue]

25/1 sansai, BtRs technology. I've posted the number earlier in the topic.

Yes, I agree very good picture quality, much better than True.

There's more than enough channels to satisfy us and when the EPL starts it should be good, waiting to see the type of coverage.

Now paying half the amount I was paying True.

[bangkok blue]

Just had a call from WETV. They are now offering satellite as not gonna be ready in time. Looks like I chose the correct route! I informed them I had a friend in my condo who wants it. They said to contact CTH direct as would be quicker!!!!

[borowolf]

Currently I record a lot using an "open box" satellite receiver box.

I suppose the CTH set-top box can not record. Does anyone know what is needed to make recording of the CTH channels possible?

[bangkok blue]

I think it's in the pipeline. There is an option to pause and rewind live tv and there is a USB slot on the back, probably for some sort of hard drive. Also has a LAN port. Probably to make some form of online purchases or interactive options.

Maybe PPV? It's been a noticeable trend here in the sandpit.

[Jowels]

Are the majority of channels in English?

And do you k now whether the EPL commentary will be in English?

[bangkok blue]

Yes to both.

[fcgprg]

Yes to both.

You have done a fantastic amount of leg work on this and I think we should all be grateful to you for that .

Thanks a lot from me.

[Jowels]

Thanks a lot from me.

And from me. I contacted WETV and CTH myself, but the only useful information I've received has come from this thread. Thanks - Bangkok Blue.

[bangkok blue]

No worries! Happy to help. I remember similar problems on my condo 6years ago when they refused to switch from Espn to true sport. It can be very frustrating. Which is why I thought by us all getting together , then most of us would be ready in time. 30days to go!!!

[bangkok blue]

Anyone having issues with the signal dropping in and out tonight? I did hear there were issues with the satellite at their end a week or so ago. Just wanna check it's not just me!
