    Satellite/cable TV options

    Hi,
    I have researched via Google, but still rather confused.
    I would like to find a decent TV package, primarily to watch the EPL, though not exclusively, but have doubts about how to proceed.
    I have ADSL wifi, 18mbs from 3BB, its only been installed for a week, and seems to be ok, is this compatible with IPTV boxes? Cable tv seems to be more reliable but offers less options.
    Does anyone have experience of using a set top box with wifi similar to mine?
    I'm in Pattaya......I think this affects what services are available?
    Cheers

    Next option, a pre-loaded Minux box that plugs into your TV, runs on your WiFi, and has more channels than you could ever watch (including EPL). There's a guy in Pattaya who loads the boxes up and will bring one to your digs to install and show you the ropes. About 7000 Baht all in. I can get his phone number for you if you need it. I have had one of these boxes for a few years now, and they're fantastic.

    I got a free Android box off AIS Fibre which I've installed Kodi and Flud on. I also have an expat TV package downloaded on it. I got a lifetime subscription to that for free too

    No mate. What you have is more than ample

    2mbs is the recommended speed.

    If you wanna watch the footy without a box tonight, you can just click the following link on your PC.

    FirstRow Sports Live Football Stream | FirstRowSports Watch Live Football Online | First Row Sports

    Stick a HD lead from your PC to your TV and you're sorted.

    You'll see yesterday's match of the day on there, as well as all the other footy today
    .I'm looking forward to Spurs v Man U later.

    What's your team BTW?

    Thanks
    Ive tried streaming without much luck, but if those boxes work on low speeds it may be the option for rtn me!
    Ive got astro supersports already with the cable tv I inherited when I moved into my condo, so can watch man u v spurs too.
    Went to a bar last night to watch my team lose 1 nil at Swansea. Fairly insipid performance from Chelsea
