n210mp Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 From what I have read on this forum over the years I get the impression that TMN is seen as the best of the two. I have TMN which is OK from a limited point of view but you get what you pay for I make up for any loss with a Minix TV streaming box which does ok working on my 3BB 10 meg internet ( except for around 5 0 p for an hour and a half when the kids come home from school and hammer the broadband) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We got TMN mostly as legacy, only MIL watches the Thai soaps there. Every one else uses streaming or downloaded movies/tv series. Netflix too has arrived in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaaSaparot Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Until the start of the year I would have said TMN, but now Sophon is better, especially if you want sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiver Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) I have 3 (home cable - garbage, True - (silver package which I got for the internet and it came with that) - great if you're Thai but garbage for a farang, TeeVee which is good (one off payment for the device and no ongoing payments - a Raspberry Pi so has other uses) although complicated and seriously flawed with download options when streaming). A friend came around the other day and put her Netflix account details into my spare laptop which is GBP 5.99 a month and I'm seriously impressed with it if you're looking to watch movies or TV shows. It may not be your cup of tea if you want live sports, but for anything else I'm so impressed with it I can't sell the idea enough to do it justice. I'm in and will be subscribing. Now I understand why Blockbuster failed in its business model. It really is that good. Edited February 23, 2016 by Shiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywla Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 My Opionion is having had Sophon and upgrading to HD box I felt it lacked content. I went with the best option commercially available and that is. True Gold Package. I also purchased the Hard drive so I can record and store over 200 hours of HDTV. Considering it less than 50 US Dollars a month no better HDTV package availabile in Thailand. Netflix has limited content and no live TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonP Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've had Sophon until two years ago when we moved and now have TMN.You get what you pay for and neither are expensive equally I have no choice because the condo buildings have a chosen provider. Films about the same but English Premier League better on TMN on Saturdays, Siphon WAS v poor when I last had it. I also supplement with MINIX box and torrent downloads to a memory stick.

GordonP Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 What does TMN stand for? True move network? Perhaps, although their office/depot is on the "Darkside" and there is no indication of it being anything to do with TRUE in the office, on the trucks or their website. There is also an office at the top of Pattaya Klang/Sukhumuvit however whenever I go there it is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I have a problem with Sophon on Pattaya cable tv. The sound isn't loud enough on tv films. Very annoying. It's not my TV all other channels are fine, seems to be only for films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langsuan Man Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Have to renew my cable. Any opinions? Usually cable is locked into your location, ie: if you are in TMN serviced area you can get them, if in Sophon serviced area then them, never heard of a choice between the two in the same location Satellite is available everywhere so long as you have line of sight to the satellite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I cancelled my cable TV (provided by my condo) this year as I hadnt watched it at all the previous year. No matter what the name of the supplier it's all crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Unless money is a real issue Truevisions Gold is the best option IMO for quality/content. 50 baht a day is not that much. Also i really value the PVR which comes with it, makes viewing/recording TV so easy. No other option i am aware of to record programmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBird Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Does anyone know if the TMN offers more HD channels than their basic package? Their PDF online seems to only list a small handful of HD channels. I heard a rumour about a box that can be bought to give more channels, but could not confirm if those were HD or not.

Note that most of their HD channels are local ones. If the international channel isn't being distributed in HD, it can't be HD.
