maddermax Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Doesn't appear that anything we expats might say to persuade True to keep BBC Entertainment will have any effect at all. We lost the History channel 567 recently without any reason being given. I hear from other expats that BBC World News has also been lost from some service providers. Does anybody know where else we might get the BBC Entertainment package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 That will explain why I'm seeing "Euronews" on Sophon Cable now. BBC is no more. I don't know if Euronews will be an improvement or not, but I always found BBC rather gloomy and dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenslegs Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 The recent BBC biography of the new King may have something to do with it. I won't post a link, for obvious reasons. Someone (Thai) has already been arrested for LM for sharing it. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/956793-activist-‘pai-dao-din’-arrested-for-lese-majeste/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to just switch on the TV and watch... and I also stream and YouTube etc. Would you believe I even pay for a landline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 No big loss. I used to be a big fan of BBC until I watched their incredibly incompetent coverage of the riots around 2010 by reporters who just did not have a clue about what was going on.

Retiredandhappyhere Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 For 1568 bahts per month, we now get NO Premier League football, NO History, and we are are apparently losing Entertainment and possibly BBC News. We will be cancelling soon. No cable here, so what are the best options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truevisions has now become a monopolised rip off, as others have mentioned, buy a TV Set Top Box like the Minux brand and you can stream or watch live through your internet.

I can be ambiguous when it says 10mb/2mb I took it to mean 10mb download limit to start with I of course was wrong it's 10mb down speed and 2 mb up. With internet itself being unlimited.
