Satellite/cable TV

[davidjg]

I'm just trying to understand how Satellite TV works here. I had a look through some previous forum posts and it seems the options are True Visions, CTH and then some internet based providers. I couldn't find any really up to date posts, so just wanted to see if the situation is still the same?

I live in Chalong and our landlord has a shared internet line throughout all of his properties in the area, so not very confident in an internet provider. What other options are there? I saw in Tesco some top boxes for sale. Any ideas how these work and what the monthly costs are?

I'm not looking for a fancy package, just a few good movie channels, star world, cartoon channels for the kids (and wife!) and if there is a channel that shows UFC that would be great also!

CTH would seem to fit what you are looking for (not during a coup though).

anything worthwhile on fta satellite in the area these days ?

Any ideas on what the costs are for CTH and what packages available? Went on their website but couldn't get much info from it.

Where do I go to speak to someone about getting this?

I think I pay about 1000 baht a month for their top package. We just contacted the local CTH provider. The list of providers for Phuket is available at http://www.cth.co.th/en/lso_list/ , Just scroll down the addresses (only in Thai I think) and find the one nearest to you.

Package info is at http://www.cth.co.th/en/package-599/
