Popular Post PoorSucker Posted January 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2015 CTH, the satellite company that have the rights to show premier league football in Thailand is currently doing a crackdown at bars on Samui. If you do not have a commercial license for showing premier league expect to pay a 20.000 baht fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Basil B Posted February 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2015 Only fair... The showing of live premiership football by bars is for one purpose only, to generate more revenue for the bar, (or retain customers who would go elsewhere), only fair they should pass on some of the profits to the service provider, also only fair to those bars that do pay. What are the subscription charges in Thailand for showing premiership football in bars? Just looked up the price for pubs in the UK, Sky PAYG package starts at £35 (1750THB), if the charges are compatible in Thailand that is under £1.20 (60THB) per night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 From a customer perspective you just want to be able to watch it anywhere. So a thumbs down from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are confusing a residential package with a commercial license package. Many bars in Thailand that show premier league do have a CTH subscription. But this is for private use only. The costs for a business package are much higher. In your example for the UK, the sky package for a pub ranges from around 350 to 1000 pounds!!! per month. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True to form, good old CTH can't organise a piss up in a brewery. Now after having EPL rights for one and half seasons, they decide they're in over their heads. They make True look like the Rolls Royce of TV (which they're not of course). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuiMole Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 How much is the licence and more to the point where do you buy it ? If you are showing legitimately thru GMM shouldn't you be paying them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gulfsailor Posted February 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) No I was not... http://business.sky.com/pubs-uk/ 35 quid is the extra cost to get wifi for your customers. Here you can calculate the cost of the pay as you go package: http://business.sky.com/calculator/desktop.aspx#I did it for an average sized pub in London, without any extras except the wifi... It calculated it at over 2000 pounds per month. Edited February 1, 2015 by Gulfsailor 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keesters Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Broadcasting football live is very expensive and commercial establishments such as bars and pubs MUST be prepared to pay for it. I cancelled my satellite TV subscription because I was fed up, as a movie only watcher, subsidizing those who watch football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikosan Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 They arrested a number of bar owners for this in Hua Hin on Saturday and Sunday as well. I heard one was 'fined' THB 40000, but that may well be a misleading rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RichieKaen Posted February 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2015 I would be extremely happy if they stopped playing the soccer in most of the pubs in Thailand (I'd allow a few for those who may suffer from withdrawal symptoms)!

Yep, but that said True (UBC at the time) had the same licencing rules for public viewing when they were showing the Premier league matches. Almost 13 years of running a pub and we never got one visit reference licences. And in that time, never heard of anyone getting done for not having a commercial viewing licence. Or even having one................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Why is it just EPL ? Should it not be based on the bar or restaurant having a commercial acct preriod? I have a friend who owns a bar and when CTH came ti hook him up they said they would only charge him the residential rate and not to worry. I would guess its the same old music license scam.

Chongalulu Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's a shared platform with sky still having the majority of the matches. Bidding starts shortly for end of next season . Expect £1 billion increase on current price. I'm having issues with billing of CTH. Despite endless calls AMD emails still not resolved and for fearof getting cut off I paid last bill which I disagreedwith. In view of comments about them not actually doing this is it a risk just not to pay next one which appearcorrect. Is reconnectiondifficult if they do? I feel I overpaid bill before current one. They do seem useless but need premier league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
