any alternative to True Vision?

[Guest]

I download movies and tv series from the net and put on a usb stick and play on my tv, I have hundreds of hours of the latest and classic movies and series, the only cost is the internet connection, I use cable true vision also with the tv package for 1100bht per month, the tv is for the Australia plus channel and the golf channel but you do get the occasional movie that is worth watching. and other sport channels.

How do you get from Navi-X > IPTV?

On my Navi-X (3.8.2 latest ver) the options are only Navi-Xtrem Portal etc with no mention of IPTV option?

tks very much rBKK !

so i have to download Kodi's software xbmc first eh ... will see how it goes !

XBMC has been renamed Kodi. Yes, it is a steep learning curve ( Google is your friend) , but just recently after I came across this addon: http://iclosedz.github.io/uPlayHD-xbmc-addons/ and I now have 166 channels -premium/sports/news/movies (True /CTH/GMM etc). It has been worth the effort in cost savings! RIP Truevisions.....

I can only see Thai writing on the link provided. Are the channels in English?

Why do you need an alternative. Truevisions is great for only 50 baht a day. Has a PVR as well.

Purchase a decent VPN and Netflicks. You will be able to see many movies and other streaming TV shows.

Cost will be about $7 a month for the VPN and $8 per month for Netflicks.

Probably other TV service you can buy also once you have the VPN.

Before you sign up for either, be aware that NetFlix are starting to block customers who use DNS alternatives or VPN to get round Geoblocking.

Enough for me. There are series/movies/concerts and the TV channels. It seems to be well maintained. When there is a problem on a tv channel it is usually ok the next time I look. Example: 5 of the sports channels resumed yesterday (Thai/English). Picture quality- Be aware this is the Thai version of HD!

Still working fine with the Hola.org PTP VPN.

I think I read a headline somewhere saying that Netflix have denied they are blocking VPN users too.

Dropping the Panda channel was the deal breaker for me. I interpreted this, maybe wrongly, as True taking me seriously when I always expected they wanted for me to bend over for their 1500THB++ / month.

For 17 baht per day I have the choice of a lot more channels than True provide. after the first year of ownership is complete the cost per day is then zero.

You will need VPN or Smart DNS services to play most subscription contents as they do geolocation check. You can find comparison table for these services at smartdnsservice.net and vpn.directory.

It is true that Netflix and Hulu Plus start to blocks IPs of known VPN and Smart DNS. However, many of these providers usually get their service back within a few hours. They continue to amaze us.

In general Smart DNS is much faster. However, be aware that some ISPs in Thailand began to implement “DNS Hijacking” which would cease Smart DNS to work. Most DNS/VPN providers have 7 days free trial, so you can test it out whether it works with your ISP.

Everyone have different priority and preference. If you search more on the forum, you will see that there are many other alternatives as well. Just to name a few;

skysports.com, setanta/asia, iLikeHD, Thai Expat TV, UstreamSports, CircFree, VIP League
