Reader question: Who has experience with receiving Dutch TV via the internet?

Dear readers,

Who has experience with receiving Dutch TV via the internet. I am now in the Netherlands and I am offered a mini box receiver that is easy to connect and has a monthly cost of 1.000 Bath for reception of all Dutch channels.

Question: does this work and are the monthly costs not too high?

Please your responses.

With kind regards,

Fred

    To start with your last question: That of course depends on what you are willing to pay for it, but personally I would say yes, those costs are too high.

    Via the internet, possibly with a VPN, also watch Nederland 1, 2 and 3 for FREE via the NOS site. Also “Missed Broadcast” is free. The commercial channels are not free to watch, but have a similar “broadcast missed”. Given the time difference, watching "live" TV doesn't seem like something you always do, so missed broadcast is a great alternative and that's just a site on the internet. Possibly use a VPN to get a Dutch IP address. In the same way you can also watch American TV, for example. Costs of a VPN are approximately 30 euros per year (Private Internet Access and that's a good one!).

    An average cable connection in the Netherlands costs € 18 per month, so 1000 baht per month to transfer that to Thailand seems well rewarded, all the more so because the provider probably passes this on to many (nice trade!).

    With a good internet connection and a VPN you can already watch a lot for free via Uitzending Gemist (and variants). 1000 baht for a mini box seems to me a waste of money.

    Hello Fred, last year we were introduced to "NLTV.asia" here in Thailand.
    Here you can watch Dutch TV online and it is easy to download with a cost of 900 baht per month and the quality is very good. Here you have the Netherlands 1, 2, 3 you have Net5 RTL 4, 5, 7 and SBS 6, 4 Belgian channels and a number of German channels, nothing, don't connect a box or something like that, just download and pay and you can watch your favorite programs here .

      Dear Tinus, your story is not completely complete, because if you want to watch directly on your TV, you need a special box and this costs about 5000 bath at NL TV Asia. And I agree with you that the quality is very good. But 900 baht per month is not a reasonable price and I agree with Dennis that the costs are a bit on the high side. Especially if you have to live on an AOW and small pension. And also if you compare it with local cable TV. about a hundred channels for 300 baht per month. I don't know many Dutch channels and Belgian and German and English channels. But we live here in Thailand and according to people who know a lot about it, an amount of 600 baht would be very reasonable and cost-covering and yes, even profitable. But everyone has a different opinion about it. And that is allowed.

        Dear Thailand John,

        I have already set up NLTV on their laptops for several people and you don't need an extra box for it. You can try it yourself. You can download and install the program from their website and try it for free.
        If you watch a lot of TV, I don't think it's a bad investment. I personally do not use it, because I did not watch TV in the Netherlands.
        And if someone can't do it, I'll be happy to install it (near Hua Hin) and take out the subscription for you (yes I get 10% commission - is that allowed?)

        It is not true that you need an extra TV box to receive NLTV Asia. Connect your PC or laptop to your TV using an HDMI cable, and you're done. So I use that laptop, on which I downloaded the software from NLTV.
        The price of 900 baht is for a separate monthly subscription. The longer the period, the cheaper the subscription. I pay 700 baht for an annual subscription. With which I don't want to say that this is cheap, but more approaching the amount you mentioned, but more nuanced!

    NlTV asia, just pay 26 euros monthly, everything very simple via computer with an HDMI connection on TV. Perfect image and you can go back 1 day to review

      You can look back 8 days. All channels offered.

    Get a VPN, about 30 euros per year
    Buy NLZIET account costs are 7,95 per month, you can watch all NL channels
    Possibly purchase chromecast of 35 euros to stream the images from PC, mobile to television and you're done.

    Average costs around 12,50 euros per month.

    NLTV can only be applied for and activated once you are in Asia. Once you have arrived in Thailand, you can apply for a subscription at [email protected] .

    You will receive instructions on how to transfer the amount of 900 THB for 1 month! After receiving payment, you will receive the correct www address and a login code from NLTV. The transmitter works via the internet. And it is quite surprising how such a sharp TV image comes through so -relatively- undisturbed.

    What can you do with it:
    – see programs directly, there are approximately 15 channels, most of them Dutch (direct is a bit inconvenient due to the time difference)
    – see programs postponed to 14 days of history
    – record & download programs, also from history
    – watch dozens of movies that have been on one of these channels in the last 14 days
    – consult the TV guide, back and to the future.

    Everything in High Definition, so very clear image on all 15 channels. I connected the computer to the big TV with an HDMI cable (so your computer must have an HDMI output). Apart from some minor internet failures, I have full NL television.

    If I am incomplete or have not stated something correctly, someone will definitely be able to correct my message.

    I have a satellite receiver vu+ duo at home in the Netherlands, everything I can receive there I can watch here on my iPad now that I'm on holiday in Thailand.

      Hi John Mike,
      You have now made me, and perhaps more people, very curious, how you do that, received via a Sat receiver in Thailand Netherlands, as you write. Can you explain that to us too? thank you very much

    for anyone who wants to receive a little more and has internet, you can log in to http://www.delicast.com of http://www.wwitv.com.
    there are about 7000 TV channels including a few Dutch ones.
    of course, the Dutch radio stations are also on delicatecast

    You can also purchase a slingbox once. Connect these in the Netherlands to a cable outlet and an internet connection and you can simply view the TV programs anywhere in the world via the internet using your supplied remote control; the programs supplied by the cable operator in the Netherlands (ziggo, UPC, Brabantnet). etc.) You can also view your programs on the road on a path. Everything in HD quality. So one-time purchase for the box and then your monthly internet costs. Depending on the quality of the box, the one-off price is between € 300 and € 500. If you calculate what the monthly subscription costs are, you will be cheaper in the long run. With NLTV asia or a slingbox you have no problems with restrictions on broadcasting rights. Because often you can't watch programs via broadcast because of broadcasting rights.
