tykel68 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Howdy, first post (and an important one). I currently have True Visions, mainly for the football. It's quite expensive but worth it to catch the games. I also want to watch the forthcoming Ashes cricket but True don't have it (as far as I know) so I am wondering if Astro have it? I called into Rawai cable but my Thai and their English aren't good enough to find out the above Does anyone know if Astro has confirmed the Ashes? Also does anyone know what the status of showing EPL footie ion Thailand is next season, is True going to come to the party or will Astro have some games or another company? Lastly do Astro have Formula 1? Has anyone used Astro. It's a lot cheaper. I don't think they have HBO do they, it's about the only other TV I watch? General advice or comment would be appreciated as I think I'll take the plunge and go with Astro and ditch the True Vision package. Love the forum, really pleased to have found it. All the best, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Satellite TV topics are usually discussed in the Tech forum, I think you'll get better answers there so I'll move your topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 EPL is on CTH for the next 3 years. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/615853-true-epl-coverage/ F1 will also be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Legally you can not watch Astro in Thailand as they do not have distribution rights here. Having said that, I think there companies selling subscriptions to Thailand but at a very high cost, higher than True. Beware of the card sharing options, apart from being illegal (piracy) there are many problems with it, for example timeouts due to network or server problems.

cpofc Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) True recently got Setanta for the Rugby. But True - UBC have never had cricket. And due to IP Blocking you can't even get an internet radio broadcast!!!! getting the cricket here has never been an easy process. There is a way to get Ten sports and 10 Cricket here now in the LOS, via IPTV, but it requires a Box, 6000 baht per annum 'Subscription', and a 5 Mbps Connection. I am not 100% sure10 Cricket are broadcasting the Ashes, but I should think they would do. I am contemplating it but since I have Platinum True Vision and CTH if I am not careful I'll go broke buying Pay TV. thinking of ditching True Visions and taking up the IPTV Option to be honest. Seems to be a better option for an English Speaking Farang with a lot better channel selection (for us) than True or CTH, or both, can offer. I am not sure, I will have to check but I think the IPTV system has the EPL too, and the Australia Network and Sentanta, plus others - that's why I am seriously considering it Edited June 25, 2013 by cpofc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Lao Beach Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 True recently got Setanta for the Rugby. But True - UBC have never had cricket. And due to IP Blocking you can't even get an internet radio broadcast!!!! Rugby as in Untion confirm? What about Test etc? re IP blocking, I presume your net is with TRUE or AIS? Are are you referring to blocking Thailand on the broad cast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tykel68 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Thanks for the replies. I think Channel 9 does cricket in Oz but it's been a while since i lived there. IPTV, haven't heard of them and a quick search just reveals a Thai site, my Thai isn't great. I will investigate though. I'm a Brit so I'm thinking CTH (for EPL) and either of these https://www.thaiexpat.tv/cart.php http://www.uk-tv.asia/ for my Brit fix and the F1. Still 35% cheaper than my current Truevisions Platinum plan. I'll take a look at the IPTV channel line up though. Still no cricket but I could get on the radio try this site for IP problem free radio in the UK http://www.listenlive.eu/uk.html. Really want it on the telebox though. If anyone finds out how to get it let me know, other than Astro of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
