It is still showing as broadcasting Australia+ (India Service) as free-to-air.

I will report back when the experiment has been conducted. [-o<

He came today, and got all the satellite details. Now needs to check with PSI to confirm it is "do-able", but won't be back until next week to do the re-positioning.

Your guy and my guy seem to know the same thing...
Hope he comes back and proves me wrong

It looks as if my options for watching the mighty Dees in action this year hinges on TOT,s promise to extend the fibre optic (30mb)to our village by end of Feb .
I will then have the option of either streaming through Watchafl or going with Expat tv via their android system.
Watchafl costs $139 us per year and the expat tv box and package is about 10k baht a year including android box at 5k once only.

Dealing with TOT is a frustrating exercise at best,Head office at Sakhon Nakhon says a junction box will be sited in the middle of our village and with the free 300 metre connection distance my connection will be free (installation).
whereas the local branch tech guy says the junction will be outside the village proper 600 metres from our house and with 200 metres free it will cost me 400 metres @30 BAHT=12000 BAHT.
I smell an attempted rip -off in the wind.

As a fellow and I assume equally long suffering Demon supporter (I was there in'64) all I can say, 2015 will be much better than last year and worth watching.
I take it True hi-speed internet is not in your area ?
If it was you could get Australia Plus and other channels via IPTV as a free add on, if you sign up to their hi-speed service - much cheaper.
GO DEES!

Both Demons supporters live in Udon. $\:D/$

Come on Jack, there'll be more than 40,000 this year.
After 50 years in the wilderness - apart from 1988 and 2000 (where we still failed to bring the flag home) - our time is at hand.
GO DEES!!!

Noticed this evening that A+ (channel 8 on Udon/Home Cable) has now become CNN. Doesn't look very promising. We still get A+ on TrueVision however.

Post by **Shado** » January 31, 2015, 8:14 pm

Well, I see that Udon/Home Cable (channel-8) has dropped CNN today and A+ is back. However, the audio is not very good. Who knows? Tomorrow it could be something completely different. I wouldn't depend on it being there when you wanted it.

An update - but not good news.

Guy came today, fiddled with the satellite dish, but was unable to connect with Insat-4B. My dish is 1.7m - he said a bigger dish (say 2.5m) MAY be successful.

For me that would require both a new dish, plus an upgraded connection point, to accommodate the heavier dish.

So back to the drawing board - fortunately I still have the option of True Visions cable.

Jack

Not sure what visa you have but if its a multi entry then a few weekends in Udon at the Aussie Sports Bar might satisfy your Weagles fix.

All is not lost. $\:D/$

I have just checked what True offer in a package of cable Internet + TV.

I am already paying TBH699 (+VAT) /month for 18Mbps/1.8Mbps cable internet - for an extra TBH100/month, I can get the True Visions "Enjoy" pack, which includes Australia+.

This promotion is good for 12 months, after which I can re-assess.

Has the AFL TV rights been confirmed with the new channel yet ?

Post by **pomps** » February 9, 2015, 5:27 pm

Giving up on thr home cable connection.bad audio for a few days now

Post by **jackspratt** » February 9, 2015, 5:27 pm

Yes.

They are showing NAB Cup games, which provides good support for their previous declaration that they would be showing "select" AFL games every weekend during the upcoming season
