Thread: Thai TV problems

heard that as of 1 august, some of the thai tv channels on ses-1 will be blocked.
you will only be able to watch them if you buy a receiver from the thai satellite company
and order a subscription. ie. like dish and direct tv run their conpanies.
anyone have any additional info? tnxs

First of all, a big thank you to everyone that posts helpful info for lurkers like to me. I'm fairly technical and have dabbled in electronics hobbies for years, but it wasn't exactly plug-and-play getting everything working (GEOSATpro DSR100c, AZBox Premium Plus, Fortec 90cm, DG280). I originally started with the GEOSAT, dish, and motor 2 years ago and in that time tried (unsuccessfully) twice to demo it in the backyard to no avail. I was embarrassed to call a professional installer but am glad I did. I'm now proud to have 3 Ku dishes (2 DTV, 1 FTA) on top of my house in a suburb of NYC. ;-) Although I still long for a weekend home in the country with 10 acres and 10 BUDs!!!

My question - yesterday the FTA Thai channels from TV Pool on SES-1 @ 101W were working fine. Today I tune in and the AZBox says they're scrambled?!?! Can anyone confirm? And if so does anyone have info is this is permanent or not?

This could be horrible timing, as I ordered the AZBox a few weeks ago specifically for these MPEG4 channels, and it took a week of playing around in my spare time getting used to its interface to get everything working as of 2 days ago!

Thanks for giving me this wonderful hobby

Whoops, didn't see this - I just asked the board in another thread this morning (in this forum - for some reason I can't paste the URL here?)

Bad timing as I just ordered and got a MPEG4 box up and running a few days ago!

The worst part is the feed is for someone else via one of my Slingbox's.

I'm still getting 39 unscrambled channels on the transponder. (For some reason, the last few weeks when scanning the satellite or the transponder on my AZBox, none of the channels appear in any of the scans, so I've had no updates to the transponder channel list for a while, so have 42 channels in total listed on that transponder).

It was announced that they were going to be scrambled August 1st. Late last night they were scrambled. Today they're in the clear again, but some of them still have slates saying something (I don't read Thai) about August 1st.

2 days ago, I lost all reception for Thai TV. I had it on AMC 2/101 and Galaxy 19/97. Has something changed again? A can get other stations on other Satelites so I don't think it's my equipment, OpenBox S9. Can anyone help? Thanks

Comes up scrambled [$] here.Think I remember reading, a while ago, that they announced that they were going to scramble all the channels.

you should have about 11 thi ch free the rest are going to cost you some coin as you have to use the box given by the provider tvpoolus.com they have local outlets but getting it direct you can works some deals on the programing if you know how to play the game.
