Foodie Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I've sent Sophon an email asking for informatioin about BBC. I tried to call them but there is no answer at their phone number!!! Just got a reply frm Sophon, they said that the BBC technition wiull fix it today. It's not on now buit I guess it shbouyld be back soon. Based on their reply, I guess that problem is with BBC equipment and not any of the worst case senarios poster(guessed ) here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ask once again for help with live in bargirls/massage ladies who can read Thai. Please translate what it says in Thai? I kind of liked the rainbow better, it seemed more gay friendly. Now it seems like someone is watching me? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMangosteen Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Seems I double posted. Sorry about that. I am wondering what a "BBC Technician" is? I suspect the cable company is just blaming the BBC, but do applaud them for replying at all to a farang inquiry which is always going to be labeled a complaint rather than in inquiry....Just get your lady/boy to find out what's going on will ya? Thanks again. Edited January 30, 2016 by BruceMangosteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asiantravel Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) BBC World News back on Sophon this morning. yes turned the TV on and saw it and thought great! But then watched it for about 15 minutes when suddenly it disappeared and has been replaced by some crappy movie I suggest everyone get onto Sophon in huge numbers and pester them until they sort this out once and for all.

scubascuba3 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I now also have BBC in Pattaya, volume at full blast, i had to adjust from 30 to 8 on my TV, why can't they sort the volume issue over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickersvc10 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Glad BBC is back on Sophon. I think they are using the Malaysian Astro feed because (a) there is a 3 minute time delay and ( many Astro ads are shown in the breaks. By the way, BBC World is not funded by the long suffering UK tax payers; it is a commercial branch of the corporation funded by ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
