Spaniel Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I guess I'm in the minority here. We have the Platinum package and enjoy the variety of channels they offer. Normal programming should resume o/a 19 November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking and alcohol are blurred out, yet last week The Exorcist was on in the afternoon with all the foul language, vomiting, head spinning and bloody masturbating with a crucifix left untouched!!

Most of channels are back to normal now. Only the channels done by True are being interrupted when something special is happening now. AXN and the two RTL channels came back on yesterday for example.

On 10/26/2016 at 8:55 PM, Suradit69 said: Yes, I have True satellite. Totally understand the period of mourning and the decision to limit "entertainment" programs, but I just renewed for six months and a lot of the programs I'm paying for are not available or are interrupted. I do expect them to observe the mourning regulations, but they ought to extend my subscription or give me a refund since I am paying for something I'm not getting. There are a few things like CNBC, NFL, baseball and some of the documentaries that I would miss if I cancelled my subscription, but it's becoming rather expensive just to watch those few things and even more expensive if I can't even see some of them. I was not offered any discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did pose a question about it as a reply to an email from them in which they attached a PDF statement for my six month payment, but they haven't replied. I suppose my question should have been sent to their support email address. I've resigned myself to getting nothing and don't wish to sound like I'm complaining about the period of mourning. I guess True was unprepared for the ruling and the consequences. Things have almost returned to normal at this point, so ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Only channels done by True Visions have that. The don't do it on HBO, Fox and etc.True. But strangely, HBO and Fox are savagely edited for violence and bad language, whereas the True movie channels are not. Watching Goodfellas on Fox or Sopranos on HBO is virtually unwatchable without the cursing and violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree watching HBO last night at a friends house film on was some war type thing Korea taking over America. nearly all so called swear words were cut out. so glad I got rid of true.

For those channels it is not True doing the doing the censorship. It is done by them for their Asia versions but not near as bad as it was years ago.

Run a speed test and if its low complain to TOT. I run a speed test regularly and it is always 20-30 mbps but seldom stable in a straight line ,and a ping of 10-15 . What I am finding recently is that the programme shuts down every so often with the on screen message " unable to play this video " , I then press the mouse cursor on the live tv heading and the programme returns . A friend has mentioned the phrase " port forwarding " saying this may be part of the problem to do with the modem communicating with the android box but this is way out of my league plus trying to find a tv technician to investigate is almost impossible . Watched the footy last night Sunderland/Arsenal and the picture quality was poor , certainly not hd or 1080p but had only 2 dropouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your comments , many thanks I belive but not exactly sure they filter the noise associated with the incoming broadband. I brought two over from UK years ago only found them a couple of months ago whilst clearing out my odds and sods box. I belive you can get them here look on lazada or try tuk com. price wise no idea but cheap I expect. if you have family in UK there readily available over there cheap get someone to send you one.

Also the number of French speakers in Thailand must be a small one. I am severely disappointed I could not follow the national news from Canada and Belgium about the collapse of the trade deal between Canada and the EU I read about how they have people who sit and monitor CNN and BBC and when news of Thailand comes on, when they don't like what is said, they have a kill switch ...I imagine it could be as simple as they don't have any good French speakers to monitor TV5, 24 hours a day in the same way? I also like this channel. Sorry for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 That is just a normal DSL/ADSL type filter for a phone line connection. Normally supplied on any ADSL line installed here on a phone line to keep your voice line clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
