I am so low tech, but will have to figure it out Thanks. Winter is finally coming. It would be downright demonoid of me to suggest that you look for torrents, especially extratorrent.

Pib Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 TrueVisions channel lineup effective 1 Jan 17 for Platinum and Gold packages. Notice HBO and Cinemax are now longer listed. Platinum Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgm005 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I had called in seeking discount yesterday, 29 December, and was told would be called back. They called today, spoke to the wife and said HBO was NOT now being dropped. But the channels would change. Go figure what will occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merijn Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Good to read that i have until 28 Feb to cancel my contract. This will be first thing on my agenda for when i'm back from my holiday's. I'm switching over to Pulse-tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the shambles that has been Truevision's handling of the process, spokespersons for the company may be punch drunk with what is to be said to unhappy customers to persuade them not to cancel.

SheungWan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 One of the movie channels listed under the Platinum package is Sundance HD. This is strictly Dull Movietime for the Cinemax crowd and hardly exciting premium fare worth paying extra for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Interesting announcement made shortly after True's about curtailing streaming video which would put a lot of alternatives to True out of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I understand but you don't need anything more than 10Mbps. I use a power line and it works fine. Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pieeyed Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well if it is a fact that they are dropping the movie channels as soon as I can find a decent alternative here in Sattahip I will cancel my Platinum package which we have had since True started. They will certainly feel the repercussions of they bad business judgement. Some companies take their customers for granted. When this happens most times the wheels fall off.

Captain_Bob Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Compared to HBO/Cinemax (which are admittedly a bit stale and repetitive) these token "replacements" (Warner TV, Sony Channel, Paramount, Fox Action Movies, Celestial Classic Movies, Food Network HD) are simply pathetic and mostly unwatchable. True Visions can expect thousands of complaints, cancellations and lost revenue. After paying for Platinum package many years we're now downgrading to Gold, why pay 600 baht more for a couple of worthless channels? and eventually if they don't bring back HBO it's game over. Torrents and internet streaming will replace their ignorant short-sighted <deleted>. They made a failed decision when it comes to expat customers.

Pib Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Based on comparison of the new channels to the now gone HBO channels, it's like exchanging a gold medal and getting a bronze medal in return for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called in twice today (01/01/17) and spoke to two different CSR's about the 'where is the discount' I requested 29 December. "Oh sorry sir we can not give now". Nothing more can be said.

worgeordie Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 If anyone finds KODI or torrents too challenging to use, try IFLIX has lots series ,movies, only 100 Thb per month, try it 1 month free, missing news channels, Filmon,all UK free channels,plus SKY news, Aljazeera ,online free. or pubfilm.com, lots series,current movies.no sign in. so theres plenty to watch,without paying too much. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that the Paramount channel actually stops the movie in order to run channel promos. That happened to Urban Cowboy as I was channel surfing this morning. Also noticed on another one of the replacement channels they were running a Steven Seagal movie and bleeping out the curse words. It's all actually worse than I expected.

Pib Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm sure it just a matter of getting older, but it seems the older I get the less desire I have to watch movies...or maybe that's because of the nature/subject of movies now days. I prefer to watch news, TV series, documentaries, history, scientific type shows. Now, I still like to watch movies, just not nearly as much as I use to.
