Need help with installing TV service provider

[wicketkeeper]

Since the demise of Thai Expat TV I am trying to find and install an alternative English language TV service provider. I would rather not return to True Visions. Is there anybody in Chiang Mai who can help with advice on the selection, and oversee the download and installation, of a new TV service provider in my home in Nong Hoi? Or who can recommend a professional IT guru who can do this? I am more than a little out of date with the technology and jargon.

Do you have an Android box,if so go to  www.tvaddons.ag and download,

their app,it's like KODI but already has several apps already added ,so it's

a lot easier for beginners, that will get you started.

you may need to go into system ,settings and change to allow apps from 

unknown source,then you can install Mobdro,has lots English channels,

just try and do yourself its easy,even i could do it.

If anybody can help I would appreciate it, I have just installed Mobdro, which is great, two questions:

 

1) Is there catchup on Mobdro TV

 

2) I do not know what the icons say, everything is in Thai can you change?

No there's no catch up, dont understand why icons are in Thai,might be where you downloaded

from,was it the official Web site ?

I thought it was daunting at first downloading and installing the apps on my box, but there are some very good step by step videos on YouTube.

I have tried but tvaddons.ag did not work for me, and expattelevision.com is just too complicated, involving dowloading Explorer which just seemed to complicate things. I am looking for the nearest equivalent to ExpatTV, UK channels with catch up if possible. I would like to hire someone to do this for me, who knows how to do it and has experience. Either a local professional or an amateur. Any takers? I'm in Chiang Mai.

If you dont mind paying 10,000baht/year look at PulseTV. It's absolute plug and play plus they have an online chat line for any enquiries. Box works over wifi or Ethernet and features heaps of UK channels - all the BBC, ITV Sky - plus movies on demand and has 24hour catch up.

 Put your query on the local Facebook groups and you'll get someone to sort you out.

It's working perfectly for me right now. Maybe it's your internet connection?

I have tried to set up Pulse TV, but cant seem to make a subscription. How do you pay them?

I just transferred the money. Call or email them.

Before you sign up with Pulse be aware the sports channels are not HD.

Internet is ok.Could be as I am going through a Minix Box which they said was ok to use.When I re boot the box I get back on but long term that could drive me up the wall.

The other issue ,using the Minix box ,is I only have a wif fi mouse not their remote and the volume is barely audible.Cant see how you can adjust sound level on the Minix set.

 

Re payment they have Kasikorn account you can pay into ,credit/debit card system will be im place shortly I was advised

You need to go into settings and increase it from there.

Maybe use your Android phone as a remote?

Agreed, but I have my torrent client set up to automatically download everything I like to watch and I no longer have to put up with adverts or channel hoping!
