Hawkman Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I would ban it world wide, the biggest waste of time and money ever,put all of it back to amateur status and make the overpaid ,cheating lot of them work for a living ! If they want to kick a bag of wind round a field let them do it in their own free time,at their own expense.Give the money to the poor who are striking and trying to raise awareness of the real problems in the world. Have to disagree, people should have the choice to watch entertainment if they wish. TV stars, sports stars, Film stars get paid tonnes. If we banned all sports and all sorts of entertainment, the world would be dull. I'd rather see people get paid and entertain others, than some rich oil business men and bankers bleed the world dry and get rich off that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabothai Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Soccer is far away the biggest sport in the world and therefore everone in the world has a right to view this WC without having to pay for it.

jimbeam1 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) NCPO asks RS to air all World Cup matches on Channel 5, 7 BANGKOK: -- The National Council of Peace and Order (NCPO) has requested RS Plc to put on air all World Cup matches which is scheduled to kick off Friday. The NCPO head Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha asked that the football matches be on air on the Army’s Channel 5 and 7 with reason of returning happiness to the Thai people. RS executive was reported to have agreed to the request and the NCPO and RS might have a press conference on the matter today. The returning of happiness move came as the Supreme Administrative Court is set to have a ruling Wednesday at 1.00 p.m. on whether all World Cup 2014 matches are required to be televised live across free TV channels. RS International Broadcasting and Sport Management, the exclusive rights holder for the FIFA World Cup, is fighting a court case with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) on whether it should allow live broadcast of the World Cup across all free TV channels. Earlier, RS won the case in the Central Administrative Court and has decided to only televise 22 matches of the World Cup on free TV. The rest of the matches had to be viewed through purchased set-top boxes. However, the NBTC appealed against the court’s ruling by reasoning that all Thais must have a chance to watch the World Cup matches as they used to, citing its ‘Must-Have’ condition rule. RS is also allowed to claim any monetary damages resulting from the “must-have” rule to protect their rights as the broadcast license holder. However, RS affirmed that it would not do anything in violation of FIFA regulations and threatened to entirely stop broadcasting all matches on the World Cup if the Supreme Administrative Court ruled in favor of the NBTC. Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/ncpo-asks-rs-air-world-cup-matches-channel-5-7/ -- Thai PBS 2014-06-11 OK boys just spotted this, a page couple of pages back. Looks like we can call it a wrap, I think? You can all press which ever button takes your fancy, for me it's the Football one, played with the round ball. Not the egg shaped object that is picked up and run with that is Rugby Footegg shaped thing.

DrTuner Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Is the world cup really such a big deal here ? Of the ~50-100 Thais I know, only one follows football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superal Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm as sick as a parrot. Last week I forked out 8,500 baht for 2 PSI boxes and a RS Sunbox ( to watch the football in bed) plus an extra dish on the front of the house. Now it looks like they will be expensive "door stops". I'd like to watch through the internet but we are screwed 'cos TOT can only give us 3 MB. Hi , Think yourself lucky , T O T are giving me 1 MG by way of a usb modem . I cannot connect to their aerial mast which is only 3 klm from my place in Prasat because of tall trees .. Also no phone lines available Anyone know of any alternatives ?

theoldgit Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The court have just ruled in favour of RS. Free TV can only show 22 matches. To see all 64 matches it seems you will need RS or True. The question is now will the junta insist that all games are are shown on free TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
