CTH Sports Channel HD Plus has disappeared?

[Mobi]

..along with the F1 Grand Prix.....

We were watching the qualifying session last night and tonight it's vanished.

It doesn't even seem to be in the CTH listings as far I am able to determine.

I finally found the Grand Prix - after the race had started - on Fox sports channel 48 - but in narrow screen format, but I guess its better than nothing.

Am I going crazy or has the main CTH Sports channel, along with the normal screen F1 coverage, been removed?

Thanks for any enlightenment...

If the provider has made channel adjustments it sometimes takes a while for the box to update with the new information.

It is now Fox Sport 3 HD. Channel 47

Thank you, but if Fox Sport 3 HD is the successor to CTH Sport Plus HD, then it did not carry the live F1 Grand Prix.

It actually showed the Nascar Sprint Cup at 7 p.m.

So it looks like I am stuck with Ch 48 which has a narrow screen transmission.

Better than nothing, I guess.

I'm not keen on that Ch 48 , I hope we don't lose the MotoGp off Ch47.

Good news is Australia Network has returneed to 187, but still no BBC!

Per Wikipedia:

On August 15, 2014, STAR Sports and Fox Sports Plus were rebranded as Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3.

CTH Program Schedule has yet to update their Channel ID's

I also found F1 on channel 48 last night and it was full screen as usual but not HD. BBC World News is on Channel 520.

You have to fiddle one by one channel at a time to see what is on. many show on this as HK time so 1 hr before in Thailand...

I watched the F1 on BBC........ but use both schedules from CTH and True to find out times program's are on here in Thailand.

You have BBC on CTH?

Is that cable or satellite?

Channel 560 is a Truevisions Channel!

[Kered]

I have cable and the channel which I found when looking for Star Sports is 520.

[Mobi]

My CTH is by satellite.

I did go through the schedules channel by channel, that's how I found F1 on ch 48.

But it is a 'narrow screen' format. Maybe cable is different???

Mobi.

For some strange reason the Fox HD channel had minority American car racing and F1 was on the low tech narrow screen channel.

I gave up and downloaded the BBC coverage on Monday morning.

Perhaps one of the CTH users here could advise me.

I currently subscribe to True Visions as am nuts about rugby and they show most of it but would also like to watch premier league football. My local shop here in Isaan has a variety of boxes available that supply CTH. The cheapest (about 1,200B) + just 180 Baht/month but you pay the full 12 months up front I think. It has the footy but not sure if the commentary can be switched to english.

Anyone know? The shop said I could just buy the box with no monthly payment but that just had spanish TV showing the Premier league so guess no english there.

There were 2 other decoders available with HD connections in the back and either a 780/month or 980/month sub. so pretty confused.

Any light shed would be appreciated.

Many DVB-S2 Satellite Set-Top-Boxes can be purchased with basic free subscriptions (no ongoing subscription payments required), but these usually only receive the FTA (Free-to-Air) broadcasts. Boxes can be purchased as Basic/Standard/Mini/Smart, HD-Lite and HD, based on their video out capability. Note: The non-HD boxes cannot decode the HD broadcasts.

If you want access to special programming (Sports, Movies, News, etc) then you'll need to make sure the DBV-S2 box you purchase is compatible with the Add-On Subscription service you are interested in.

Many of the companies try to make this simple by bundling the box with the ongoing pay-for-subscription service.

Audio Commentary will always be based on network origination (who they purchase the feed from).

It varies how the second language is delivered. Sometimes it's delivered through the SAP (Second Audio Program) that can be selected with the remote. Other times they split the commentary on the Left and Right stereo audio channels.

Thanks, great info

EPL coverage is excellent on CTH, the rest is worth about 100 baht a month!
