It's just been explained to me by a mate in BKK who seems to know what he is talking about.

Every country does a deal with FIFA to receive the live transmsion of the TV pictures from Germany. There is only one live transmsission - not BBC, not ITV or whatever, just a German production team, approved by FIFA. Then each country have their own commentators at the ground to broadcast commentaries back to their home country. The ones who can't afford this may buy some 'generic' sound track from a FIFA enaged team. So the Chang guy just bought the picture rights - there aren't any sound rights to buy, unless he buys them separately from FIFA, and why would he do that in a Thai speaking country? It is unclear whether the Thai comnmentators are in Germany, or in the studios in Thailand - Probably in Thaialnd - but it is irrelevant, they won't have the English commentary.

With regards to the hotels, apparently there are special packages that FIFA can sell to the better hotels, and transmit through a special links, scrambled channels etc. Don't really follow it, but it is possible I suppose.

My friend isn't even convinced that The South African package will carry the World Cup. We shall see.

[nefrets]

My friend isn't even convinced that The South African package will carry the World Cup. We shall see.

Supersport, which is the South African sport channel through M-net, is showing all the games.

http://www.supersport.co.za/default.asp?id=11818&des=content

I don't know if our friend at Dhospaak will be able to stop those pubs with M-net supscription from showing the games.

[jackr]

Why would they do that in their country indeed... ###### the thousands of expats

There is of course the P2P streaming option by the likes of PPLive if you know a bar with a good connection. Could be a problem with buffering but bound to be loads of people doing it during the World Cup. A mate uses the programme in the UK when he can't get certain Premiership games and he says it seems to work well enough. Thing is, he has a 2meg connection

[rainman]

I've just got on to UBC to try and get the definitive answer to our language concerns.

Even though I speak good Thai, the thought of 90mins worth of "Beckam Krup, khao hai kup Wayne Looney Krup" and "Ooooh, SUPER-SAVE kong Robinson krup" would do my head in.

I'll let you know their reply.

where do they get the supersave crap from anyways?

finally, some FACTS...... great link ! now the question is, DOES any Thai cable network have that channel ? obviously, Sophon in PTY does NOT have it.... what about those networks in CM and Phuket ? need to choose my destination and book my room soon

[scotsman]

The south african supersports channel is on a satellite that as far as I know you can only get it with a angel set top box from jsat or dynasat.

[Sunderland]

Oh well ... I can watch the 65-70% of games that are not on channel 11 or ITV ... unwatchable due to the poor signal in this part of Bangkok.

[agsnowdon]

Just put on germany match through UBC and can't change to English and tried it on terestiral tv too and won't change to English.

Looks like no Englisg soundtrack for us with UBC

[Mobi]

There ain't nowhere on the net that is streaming English. I've been looking for weeks.

My last hope was the BBC broadband, because I couldn't see how they could block it. But they have - I tried to connect and got a message that it has been blocked because I'm outside the UK.

I'm mega pissed off as I planned to go down the road and watch the S. African telecast, but the wife's pissed off on the piss and I'm left looking after her son. (she was supposed to be home at 8.p.m!!)

Pissed off ain't f..cking word.

[Plus]

BBC Radio Five plays an announcement that they can't broadcast their commentary to us in Thailand.

Talksport talks about sport, in general. No live commentary, at least here.

Unlucky, I feel for you "krap""krap""krap""krap""krap""krap""krap""krap"

Hope she gets home soon but will be too late.

No man should be treated like that! Get rid of her!

I can't wait to see England fail miserably.

I'll be cheering a much better team - Spain.

dry.gif Did you inadvertently forget to add a smiley or are you really that sad?

Of course I'm only joking. But being a Scot, it's a nightmare every Thai supporting England.

Scots do love to see England let's say, not win.

Yes, he's very sad. But he's a Scot.

We English, on the other hand, tend to support Scotland especially in the World Cup because we hope to meet them later in the competition. And of course we remember great goals such as Archie Gemmel's goal against Holland in 1978, and great defeats such as 0-1 against Costa Rica in 1990.

[mcfester]

This is f**king <deleted>!!!

UBC are a bunch of tossers, they can have my rented equipment back in a thousand pieces.

I hope someone can find an English video stream.

Does anyone know which bars in BKK will be showing live England games with English comentary?

And the 3-0 BATTERING dished out by Morocco in '98!!!

Did you notice how they were busy giving us details of an sms number to call while Costa Rica scored a f..king goal? What a bunch of piss pots. they're just watching - the same as us - they have no idea what's going on or who's kicking the bloody ball until they get a close up of th the back of the shirt - like us. What a bunch of tossers!

You're right - pissed off aint the f..cking word!! I've just had my first drink in 5 months and there aint much left in the bottle. I'm seriously pissed off - big time.

Good game though

[britmaveric]

Bad defense.

[Sing_Sling]

Bloody fantastic last goal . . . Klinsmann has had a great attcking influence on the team. (umm, shitty defense, though)

4:2 !!!!

(but it was only Costa Rica)

Yeah, it worked very good. Good commentators. I think they will send all matches.

[Loose Cannon]

What a load of <deleted> na khrap this commentary - ohh hoooh - is na khrap.

Cant we bombard the people in charge with emails? Too many games start at 2am and have to be watched at home - this is horrendous na khrap. Would rather just have the stadium noise and no commentary na khrap.

Ooooh hooohh...

If you have UBC switching to English will just give you stadium sound, unfortunately not on all the channels.

How pathetic to have the opening game on 6 Thai channels with nothing in English. Same coverage, same adverts...same same but different, they really know how to make themselves look like idiots to the farang.

Seems like my box won't do that. Mmmmm-hmmmm.... I have either Thai or Thai na khrap. Surely there must be some world cup radio available I could run in the background over the pc. I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount na khrap.

Eurosport.com and eurosport.com/uk are doing live streams of most matches in several languages, english included, England v Paraguay live.

Just trying to get on now with dail up, very slow even at this time so will probly be useless for myself, hope it helps you BB users.

[lampard10]

As I said on another thread. That answers the question of commentry. There was none. Just two Thais, who no nothing about football passing the time of day, talking to each other. They seemed to forget there was a football match going on.
