I'm very disappointed with their lack of communication, in this day and age it's totally unacceptable.

 

Agreed, but par for the course.

IPTV-Club has a 7 day catch up and is only 4,100baht per year.

 

Yes, but their shopping cart is not configured so it is impossible to sign up or pay. This does not inspire me with confidence, as previously mentioned.

There are 4 ways to pay, I had no trouble signing up. Very good set up, I can't say anymore really. Sorry its not working for you.

I think this is my fourth year after ditching CTH.  The service has been faultless upto yesterday.

Hopefully the missing channels will return later today.

I found BBC 2 on their earlier version 3.4.153. It's the one with the all black background. The program listing are there, but I haven't tried downloading.

Does anyone know of a similar paid for service that is easy to use and has catch up?

UKTV.webtv.to  is very similar to expattv, but FREE and its working.

Yes.

How about Megaexpat TV (or a name something like this) which has been advertised on TV quite a lot just recently?

Try it now. The link to their shop does not work. It leads to a shopping portal that has not been configured.

Still no access to ThaiExpatTV or 365SportTV this morning. Last time this happened was in November 2016. Services were back up the next morning. They are always very quick to respond to questions. Lack of response this time round is a concern. Let's hope it is only a temporary blip in services and not a permanent block on them being able to stream services. I did ask them if the UK Court ruling would have any impact on the streaming of their football channels,  at the time it was announced, and they said  "Our content provider has not indicated that this will affect the channels."  The ruling only seemed to refer to Kodi boxes. Given both ThaiExpatTV and 365SportTV are down would imply it is not related to the UK Court ruling?

Are you sure it's working? For me it just shows "connecting to licence server".

[leytonorient]

Me here not loading and now the 365 sport website is down. I only used 365 sport as a backup and my main one Watchglobal.tv works still and has 5 times as many channels. Use Watchglobal.tv if you want a good substitute.

The BBC have announced they are going to introduce a password for Iplayer linked to your UK address if I understand it correctly.

They will check your details and confirm you have a TV Licence, of course if you have a colleague in the UK you could always use their TV Licence.

[Sparkles]

Missing many channels as of now

10:15: Service back with 15 channels (basic package as before minus BBC2/NHK/Sky News and probably some others I didn't notice).  Interface is a bit clunky so looks like a temporary fix of some kind.

 

For a service that's always been well run with super responsive support, their lack of public information this time was very surprising and I feared that they had fallen foul of some Authority or another - let's hope they get it back to normal soon.

Yeah same here. It's only showing 13 channels instead of the usual 40 or so channels. Their phone is switched off. Hopefully they haven't done a runner. Their office is in Sukhumvit Suites in Soi 13 but unsure whether it's just a brass plate registered office or a properly manned office. I might go have a look later if they haven't fixed things or made any announcements clarifying this debacle.

Expatpremium.tv looks like it's gone for good? Website down and emails returned as failed. I paid for 6 mts recently too.

NBTC , can you clarify for us dinasours,link ?

[Sharp]

NBTC controls Internet TV boxes

BANGKOK, 12 May 2017 (NNT) - The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has imposed a regulation to classify Internet TV boxes as controlled equipment. 

The regulation requires producers and importers of Internet TV boxes, such as Media Box, Android Box, Apple TV Box, TV Stick, HDMI Dongle, and Chromecast to apply for permission from the NBTC in accordance with Section 70 of the NBTC Act B.E.2008. 

Penalties for those who produce, import or sell unauthorized Internet TV boxes include a maximum of two years in jail and/or a maximum fine of two million baht.

I've always been happy with Expat and, up till now, they've always responded promptly to any queries I've had.

 

I thought this might give a few people here a laugh though. This morning I received an email from Thai Expat suspending my account because of non payment. 

 

Firstly I actually paid them a few days ago, on the 9th (was actually due on the 8th), in BIC C, via Paysbuy, and had payment confirmation from them by email.  I know everybody can make a mistake but to confirm payment receipt, have their service crash, then, the following day suspend a service I can't receive is just taking the P##S a little bit.

 

Although they appear too busy to either answer peoples queries about the problem or simply send out a general update to inform their customers of the problems they're having, they obviously do have the time to send out inaccurate suspension notices.

 

I emailed them to query the suspension but, as yet, haven't had a reply.

 

As others have recently said, a basic service is now available again and I've just checked, at least that's working, it's not blocked for non payment.

It's here, but unfortunately it's free, among with all the other hundreds of free channels.
