DISHY SATELLITE ?

[Naam Jai (?2008)]

WANCHI ELECTRIC SHOP Chompol Road have a promotion on for Infosat Satellite dish including Receiver and Fixing at your home.
Digital C Band with 150 channels from 40 countries and 5.5ft remote movable dish costs 12900bht.NOT EXCESSIVE! There are more expensive and cheaper ones too with more/less channels etc....

Asiasat 3S gets you 72 channels many are in english but some are not. PAS 10 gets you 24 Indian channels. It gives aa alternative to sometime boring UBC. Does anyone have one and can they recommend this system?

I have UBC Gold but WANCHI says it can get pirate channels ESPN and STAR Sports but I'm not holding my breath.

I have Dynasat F1.
I am not sure if it is allowed to discuss this on the forum(TV deletes it)
If OK, I can inform about what I can receive (satelites and programs)

While I was away working in BKK a few months ago, my wife was conned into buying a satellite system with "hundreds of farang programmes". The lovely girl thought she was preparing a nice surprise for me but she did not know the difference of course between Chinese, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Urdu, Hindi, Mongolese, Tamil, Burmese, Vietnmese, Bhasa Malasia, Indonesian, and Tagalog. There were about 200 channels but not a single programme in English. I guess she thought that for 4,000 baht she was getting what we receive on cable in our apartment near Pattaya.

We ended up giving it to the in-laws so they can watch Indian karaoke. In Udon we searche everywhere for a satellite system that could get European and Oz programmes, but to no avail so we bought UBC Gold, but it is extremely expensive for what it is.

I would appreciate any advice as to how I can get some extra channels.

I opened a thread on the alternative to satellite dishes "Downloading podcasts of your TV programmes" there

Nobody in my household is allowed into my office. the family is expected to watch normal TV programmes in the bedrooms and living room. What we really need is to be able to get general live TV content. USB Gold has TV5 but no German programmes.
The cable selection we get in Nong Prue for only 100 baht per month is excellent. They get some pretty cool stuff in Nong Khai too, but the satellite shops in Udon only have that DTV stuff, and that's what my wife got sold.
I'm not a skinflint looking for free solutions. I would willing pay for the right stuff. It's getting it that's the problem.
