xylophone Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 My thanks to pagallim, brewsterbudgen and JaseTheBass for replying and I think I've pretty well got the gist of it now – – one does so at one's own risk and if one should lose one's subscription, then so be it. Having lost about a half years subscription with 365Sport and reading about others closing down, I decided not to go ahead and try others, but have just had True Visions satellite installed and it is a great picture and suffers no buffering or anything like that (of course). And I only wanted to be able to watch football and NZ rugby and anything else is a bonus, so I'm a happy camper at 880 baht per month all in.

After 12 years I'm glad to have uncensored progamming - and cricket!

brewsterbudgen Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 12 years of tirelessly defending True as i recall.Yes I was pretty loyal to Truevisions, mostly out of sheer laziness! What finally did it for me is when they dumped CBeebies and BBC Entertainment, depriving my 1 year old of his Teletubbies and me of Graham Norton. Pulse has been a lifesaver, although my son has moved on to Nick Junior and Paw Patrol!
brewsterbudgen Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 It's working for me. Fox News disappeared yesterday but unfortunately it came back after I re-set the box.
sotsira Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Can anyone using Pulse tv advise on what the EPL coverage is like? Buffer free? picture quality? etc etc.... Which channels are they using to stream live EPL on Saturday 3pm matches? Do they offer multiple channels to cover all or most of the EPL games? Do they broadcast the matches with English commentary and punditry?
pagallim Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Sky Sports 1 HD, BT Sport, and other channels to cover most if not all EPL matches 1230/1500/1730. Excellent HD quality, Uk original commentary. Best having fast internet, preferably fibre optic, no buffering at all. I installed last August and will definitely renew next month.Sent from my SM-G935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
sotsira Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Thanks for the advice pagallim, Did you subscribe on a month to month basis? Are you using their set top box or other device to stream?

The reply was games on : Sports Net TSN ASTRO MIO Stadiums Sky Sport 1 HD but not 3pm Saturday games. Some of those stations I have no knowledge of. Seeing is believing, we wait in anticipation
Sparkles Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 I find myself re setting the Minix box left over from Expat/365 quite often. Think its best to pay mthly, who knows it could all go belly up. BBC reported 30% of UK viewers watching football illegal live streaming. With the mega bucks paid for TV rights you can imagine how that was received
sotsira Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Sparkles, when you say no Saturday 3pm games, did you mean only on the Sky Sports channels? So that the other channels would stream them instead. Yeah, i think it's worth a punt to try them out for a month and see how it goes from there.
pagallim Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Thanks for the advice pagallim, Did you subscribe on a month to month basis? Are you using their set top box or other device to stream?I subscribed for a year, with free set top box.

I'm just going to wait for day 1 and see what happensUnderstand this, I had Pulse since August 2016. I've watched my team every game, regardless of the time or day. Premier league games are on either Sky or BT. Champions League/Europa League/FA Cup/League Cup are normally on the main UK Channels (BBC1/2/3/4, ITV1/2/3/4) all of which are in the Pulse package. I don't have to ask anything as I already have the answer.Sent from my SM-G935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

Meanwhile enjoy them while you can. When one closes down another will spring up.
