Is Truevisions satellite down?

[angryfarang]

I know it's highly unlikely that it's down, but is anyone having issues with Truevisions this morning?

In the space of an hour, I've had two people call me from two different houses I rent, saying the satellite is not working. It's showing a No Signal error.

Strange this is at two different properties.

They anounced it all over the place: they are re-numbering their channels and service should be back at 10 am this morning.

Big channel renumbering and additions exercise. Info has been scrolling across bottom of True channels for last 3 weeks or so.

Just switched on and some channels are back (lower numbers). Supposed to be complete by 10:00 hrs.

Now have to relearn where all the channels are.

[angryfarang]

No worries - thanks for that. I don't watch TV, so I have no idea.

[theoldgit]

Here's the new numbering.

Are you on satellite ?

Channels that are marked with * such as Aus Tv are only available on cable .

Edit.... have not checked after re numbering but it was there yesterday.

Yeah just found out up their A!!!e

Gosh, this sure seems like a messed-up channel line up especially for Thai's which is probably 95% of TrueVisions customers, like not having all the main channels Ch 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc. lumped side by side.. And where did Channel 9 (Modernine) go?

Now I'm on cable (CATV) versus satellite (DSTV) and the channel lineup don't match above...it's pretty close but a little different. I know most of the new digital channels are not available yet for CATV users as that was in the True announcement, but supposedly coming soon....whatever "soon" means in the Thai language.

[Pib]

I've also found out that for the cable CATV boxes that being able to enter the setup routine/software reload by rebooting the box and immediately entering code 2485 don't work anymore. But I will repeat I think the channel lineup for Thais is not a good one....my one each Thai wife totally agrees.

[patekatek]

It's now 11:30 and we still do not have a signal for True Sat. TV. My wife has been on the phone for 1/2 hour getting nowhere. Anyone else still without service?

[angryfarang]

Power off and on your box - there's a new firmware update for the box. Mine's installing now...

FYI ref program reload, still working on satellite. Do not see any updated components though.

Maybe temporarily stopped on DOCSIS or not yet removed from satellite..... or something else.!

OK, found Ch 9 (MCOT) is on CATV channel 16.

Thanks for the TV guide printed out and everyone is happy, except for Oz channel now streaming AFL from OZ through Telstra.

I am so happy that my channel selector skips to 199 and then rinse and repeat. Everything in between is gone. So much for us as long time Platinum customers. I have never seen things on True this screwed up and I have 3 connections.

@ Crossy On satellite, Thai ch 9 , for me, on True 16 (as per Pib on cable). Hope same for you , 'miffed wifeys' can be dangerous !

Thanks again TD, I've edited your post to avoid others being confused

[Old Man River]

It's a mess. I talked to one of the customer service people and he said I was the only one whose channels skipped from 47 to 199 and then back to 1. I told him that wasn't possible and then he said I was the only farang other than thousands of Thai's with the same complaint.

I rest my case.

It must be something to do with your box or dish. I'm a Platinum subscriber and all my channels are working.

Channel 354

[chainarong]

Well it could only happen in LOS, the dishes on the roof are only to catch water , I am on cable and the Australian Channel is on 127, it is all stuffed up with the channels, they blame to True takeover. Cheers C

[lomatopo]

I have TrueVisions Platinum via cable, and I have a new numbering scheme, but it is not exactly like the one posted up-thread.

Is there a similar listing for cable subscribers?

Should cable subscribers expect, at some point, the same channel availability by package?

In general, and after a quick review - again with a Platinum package, it seems like there are more total channels, more HD channels but still a few missing, like ASN2 HD.
