UBC signal is out, countrywide. Don't chuck that receiver unit out of frustration.
Last update on tv says 2 hours.

Thanks parrot. The wife was trying to call the True-Visions office here in Udon even though I told her they wern't going to answer. Now, she will stop trying.

Maybe, but probably just incompetence.

A report from your roving reporter here in the hinterlands of Amnat Charoen Province. All ThaiCom channels working as of 6:53 PM. I have True Visions Gold Satellite. First time I've clicked on many of these channels. What crap, why would they want to block it out? Probably a problem in the cable system somewhere.

UBC is back on the air.....countrywide.....no coup....just equipment problems.

I might add that I was not watching all afternoon so don't know if it was ever out in the first place.

Reports on Thai Visa that it is now coming on.

Rats! Another conspiracy theory dashed on the rocks.

It seems what Abhisit taketh away, he can also giveth back. :lol:

It was an interesting discussion - fueled by a couple of icy-cold Leos - to convince the family that now would not be an ideal time for the PM, or the army for that matter, to pull on a coup. :shock:

don't worry it wasn't a coup!! http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/233063/minister-tv-blackout-nationwide It was reportedly the ThaiComm Satellite "off-orbit" and was restored some time just after 19:30..
