AFN decoder and dish

[khunkeith]

Does anyone here have a AFN satellite and decoder?

if so, what are the costs? the Pro's and Con's over True Visions?

I have True Visions now and, though it's ok, it's a bit on the expensive side.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

AFN is a closed network for active and some ex US military only and here in Thailand we only get 3 channels from it. Simply get the state department forms from any PX fill it in and hope foe the best.

I have friends in Korea that have PX/BX access. They have offered to pick me up a decoder but, I don't know if it's worth it. I think the cards have to be periodically renewed? not sure about that. I like True Visions but, it's expensive I think. I am looking for an alternate system and AFN was suggested by a friend in the Philippines that uses it. But, I think he has a cracked card.

in the Philippines they get 19 + channels here we get just 3 channels from the Atlantic service. Go for it, but we use IPTV instead as it is why better and free.

If you really need your non-internet Fox fill GMMZ offers pay TV service for a bunch of them for about 5,000 baht per year or 500 baht per month (and expect that will come down with time). You can also use there box for free TV of about 70 channels on ku dish if you decide not worth it. There are other legal/free dish providers such as PSI/DTV/IPM/SUN and the new pay service of CTH (which seems to be making a serious bid to compete with True).

If you've got decent internet, maybe look at the Roku for US TV.

my internet is not reliable enough. I went down that road already and had to many 10-30 second drop outs on a regular basis plus the usual 3 or 4 minute once that happen a couple times a day.

Guess I am stuck with ture visions. It's ok but, expensive.
