webfact Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 NBTC tells Thaicom to provide backup channel for BlueskyThe NationBANGKOK: -- The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission on Thursday told Thaicom Plc to provide a backup channel for satellite TV Bluesky channel in case its broadcasts again suffer from interference.NBTC secretary-general Thakorn Tanthasit said Thursday that Thaicom had agreed to provide a backup channel for Bluesky to switch to in case its broadcast again suffers from interference by illegal transmission.Bluesky will run a message on its current channel to tell its viewers how to switch to the backup channel when interference occurs, Thakorn said.Thakorn was speaking to reporters after he held a meeting with representatives of Bluesky and Thaicom.Bluesky has filed a complaint with the NBTC of occasional interference with its broadcast since late November. The interference intensified on December 5 then stopped before starting again on December 9.Bluesky representatives told Thaskorn that the interference intensified on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday especially when Suthep Thaugsuban, secretary-general of the People's Democratic Reform Committee, was giving a speech.Thakorn said Thaicom representatives provided the same information regarding incidents of interference.He said Thaicom explained that the interference was made by a mobile upload unit, which attacked the transponder hosting the Bluesky channel both on Thaicom-5 and Thaicom-6 satellites. Bluesky's upload of transmission to the satellites suffered problems with the 8 MHz frequency, Thaicom officials explained.But, Thakorn said, he doubted that those behind the interference had attacked the entire transponder as other satellite TV operators using the same transponder on the two satellites had not complained.Thakorn said he also asked Thaicom representatives whether Thaicom itself had jammed the transmission of Bluesky but they denied it, saying such an action would damage Thaicom's reputation and business.Thakorn said the NBTC would tell 16 agencies that own mobile satellite up-linking units to report to the NBTC the whereabouts of the device, as part of an investigation to find out which equipment might have been used to interfere with the Blusky transmission.-- The Nation 2014-01-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangFerang Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It seems esy to interfere with BTS and every channel on the block. Plus, the Thai satellite is having problems as well. This is going from bad to ....worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MobileContent Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 If ThaiCom would be still in the hand of the Shinawatra's, I guess their would be no Blue Sky today on ThaiCom and Blue Sky would have been on AsiaSat in HK or MeaSAT in Malaysia.

Scamper Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Food for thought. 1. Bluesky - the channel most sympathetic to the Democratic party, has been the victim of malicious interference. 2. It started in late November and has intensified particularly when Suthep is speaking. 3. Shin Corporation, which once controlled 41 % of Thaicom was sold some years ago. The deal was worth $ 1.8 billion US, and was deemed tax-free. " Thakorn said he also asked Thaicom representatives whether Thaicom itself had jammed the transmission of Bluesky but they denied it, saying such an action would damage Thaicom's reputation and business. " Oh I see. Well, I guess that settles it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipkins Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does anyone know how I can find this bluesky channel on Sophon cable or is it only if you have satalite TV? There is a simple application form for it on line. - basically what is your name etc. If you can fill out the form correctly, you are too intellegent to fall for their propaganda and you are refused and a group of students are sent round with a taser. There is real media out there you know!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipkins Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Compare and contrast with the treatment afforded to the UDD Radio and TV Station/s in 2010.............. Its a bit awkward as it is not from Bluesky source... Will Wiki Do? You mean things like this.. "Abhisit increased security measures to suppress the 14 March protests" "A government/military situation room for monitoring the protest, officially called the Peace-keeping Operations Command" " Suthep claimed that the UDD protesters planned to "besiege government offices and residences of important figures" The Cads!!! How dare they!! " A 50,000-strong security force was deployed on Bangkok." "the government ordered the red shirt blocking of satellite news station D Station, an affiliate of the UDD which, at the time, was broadcasting the clashes. Several community radio stations were shut down and searched upon suspicion of supporting the UDD." Closed down for reporting the clashes that the Army instigated. Indeed there is a very clear contrast and stench of connivance... Closed for supporting UDD Army not ready for the live fire zone this time around. Claim they learnt their lesson.... we'll see. You cannot make up the level of hypocricy that Suthep and his cohorts indulge in... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly peaceful ( now ) compared with mostly militant who were already shooting in the streets ( 2010 ). You forget the violence that occurred up to that point and the tv broadcasts of 'red leaders' whipping their sheeple up into a murderous frenzy were just fanning the flames hence the attempts to shut them down.
