Free to air english TV

[Rigger]

Does anyone know what is the best satelite for free to air english channels. I have the settings for the Australian network sat and will try it today, any idea of how many channels I will get with a simple free to air. It is SCPC/MCPC and DVB-S compatible

The Malaysian Astro looks like the best one we can get. They seem to have lots of small packages for about 300 Baht a month each.

JSAT will be able to sort you out.

I think the bit where he said:

probably rules that out


Thaicom 5 looks your best bet:

I had the local guys here tring to set it up but they had trouble getting the Australian network. They are going to talk to the boss and come and try again tomorrow.

^^ Rigger's loaded, so I'm sure a few hundred baht a month won't hurt him.

^ DO you know what sat system they are trying to receive?

[Rigger]

I need 5 systems and then split them into two rooms. I am tring to get the Aussie network. IS-8/PAS-8 should be easy to get.
I all ready have two UBC systems at home and I dont really want a pay set up for this.

[Marmite the Dog]

^ I'd fuck UBC off and just go with Astro.

[Rigger]

This isnt for home

^ Can you be a bit more cryptic please?

[Rigger]

I have DVB-S compatible sat system that I am trying to get the english free channels. The dish and sat cost 2990 baht. Testing this set up and if the channels are ok I will buy more. The system must be able to be moved and work in the central to North north east area.
What more do you need to know the Australian network is on the IS-8 or Pas-8 sat and can be received all over Thailand.

Have those coke bottle glasses turned you into a gold fish and you now have a memory of about 3 seconds

I am on PAS8 at the moment and only has a channel called NOW which has some pretty cool stuff like Pot black and a speed show called V max, Some english news. The rest are cooking and Asian channels

Check with Thai Pom, he has a sat with pretty much exactly what you want. Don't know if about the costs though. It was a one time payment.
