Popular Post Pattaya28 Posted September 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yep. They're at it again changing the channel numbers. Were changed around 4 months ago. So you learn the new numbers and they change them. No wonder they're loosing subscribers in wholesale proportions. Brainless company with their policies. As I've stated before, there's a small man at head office thinking of ways to wind up what subscribers they have left. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banglay Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I've now reshuffled Truevision right off my TV screen (poor choice and quality and value for money).I now watch all my TV via the internet it took a bit of research and the finding of the right proxy server but I now watch most of the major UK & USA channels for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackman Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) at risk of repeating myself, i cannot understand why there is so much hostility to TRUE more than 10 years in, i have more channels, better programming, better equipment, cheaper costs and HD i think its a great deal Edited September 12, 2013 by Rimmer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The recent change was also for adding more HD channels which i think happens tonight? or was it last night? fair play to them i say, the existing HD channels are very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they keep doing it ? !0 years ago the channels were better than they are now. Where is Star World ? Watched the F1 HD channel on Sunday. 1/2 way thru the race a game of football was visable on top of the F1. 6 months ago watching the F1 HD channel, the F1 commentary changed to a live Tennis commentary. When I have a service problem they promise to come to repair fault, yet never turn up. Only reason i keep the poor service is because I get 75% discount off the Platinum package.

Sometimes when learning the channels anew I discover something I hadn't realized was there before. I agree that the HD channels are impressive. I really doubt that many people are dropping their subscriptions, but as is true with most things on Thai Visa, a noisy minority makes it seem like it's more significant than it really is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This morning I don't have any channels working, everything was okay last night?? I still find many channels ok, yes the HD ones are hard to live without when first getting used to them. How can you Pattaya28 get a 75% discount on the Platinium package?

How can you Pattaya28 get a 75% discount on the Platinium package? it was changeover night last night officially it should be over at 8 am i had some channels at 6am and others have been showing up since then true say all channels should be fully loaded and in new spots by 9am i would advise you unplugging the power to the receiver leave for 2 minutes and then let it re-boot to help it organize the new channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone up and ask to cancel because you are getting CTH for the EPL. They will try and talk you out of it. Stand your ground and they will probably offer to continue your current package for 590 bht for the next 6 months. That is what I did.

I think they loose a lot of customers now because of the new satellite provider, which is good, maybe they can stop being so greedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soumanioco Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 not only did they cut CNN they also cut TSP4 (true sport 4) to give way for MU tv. I call that absolutely pathetic -mind you am an MU fan... Have to say, am amazed how none of you seem to realise the abysmal difference between the time it was UBC and now that's true. When i first subscribed in '98 could not believe the quality i was getting for such little money (1,4xx at the time for gold). As the other guy said, all they care about is to maximise the profit. Not to mention that their program is getting all the more "falang hostile". Thais is their main target. I 'll be off then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 at risk of repeating myself, i cannot understand why there is so much hostility to TRUE more than 10 years in, i have more channels, better programming, better equipment, cheaper costs and HD i think its a great deal Try to cancel the service, I hope you don't experience what we went through. Cancelled, all agreed at to the date it was to cut, all paid up to the last day. All confirmed that our name would be removed from that address. And we gave them full details of name, mobile no., etc., of the lady who bought our condo. about 4 or 5 weeks later the new owner called and said 'can you please call True and tell them to cancel your account because until you cancel it we cannot register our name as the new account owner'. We called true, turns out the lady we gave the new owner details to lost it, so she just reopened an account in our name. She didn't bother to call me or my Thai son to get the new name again, too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you'll excuse my rather less than expert knowledge on the subject; can you explain all of the above again in simple terms? I'm presently paying True 1586 baht a month for their Gold package [note not Gold A]. I only have one receiver [HD] and have been told that I would have to pay the same amount again to have another receiver in bedroom. Seems like you're getting a pretty good deal. A couple of points to bear in mind - I live in Ubon with no cable - only satellite. The channel listings, for some reason, are different in Ubon from BKK If it's too complicated for the forum, or judged to be off-topic, I'd be more than grateful for a PM.

Thanks in anticipation ok yes mine is an HD satellite system same as you so the listings should be in the same order as yours and the published list so i would unplug the power from your receiver leave it for 5 minutes, the reattach and let it re-boot it or call out an engineer from true to reset it to factory settings to make it the same as everyone else that aside,you could add a second receiver to your current package, for another 2000 baht deposit for the box and an extra payment of 282.48 a month whoever is saying you need another full package is wrong you can see it here on this page on the true website http://www.truevisionstv.com/package.aspx?id=38 select English language and scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the picture below: i hope that helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
