Reader question: How can I receive Thai channels in the Netherlands with cable or dish?
Dear readers,
I want to be able to receive Thai TV in the Netherlands for my girlfriend. We have already done that via the internet with DooTV and so on, but the quality is below par. So no more Thai TV via the internet for me.
I've heard that a dish is best but I'm not technical so I have no idea what I need. Who can give me advice. Also what are the approximate costs?
Thanks everyone,
Wilco
Wilco, if you want to receive Thai TV with a dish, you can point the dish at Hotbird. Then your girlfriend can watch TGN. Better is via the internet. choose following link http://www.adintrend.com/hd/ then your girlfriend can choose from 16 different Thai channels. Including Thai 3, 5, 9, 11, Nation and Bleusky Channel (currently live coverage of the protests in Bangkok) and more. A reasonable internet connection is required. However, if this drops out or becomes too slow, a buffer of approximately 15 minutes is built up. So good luck with that. My wife looked at this a lot when we still lived in the Netherlands.

Dear Bucky, thank you for this link, my girlfriend is happy with it. But i have a question, is there also a link where i could get thai sport with preferably football (fc chiang mai) thanks fr, john.
Via the Hotbird satellite (at 13 degrees East, frequency 10815 (H, 27500)) you will find Thai Global Network (TGN). That is the only Thai channel on Astra / Hotbird I think. Once also DMC, but it has disappeared.
Costs: If it is purely about TGN, you could suffice with the simplest set and dish. You should be able to find a “starters set” for around 100 euros. That is incl. tuner, dish and necessary cables. I myself have a small dish (45 cm) and that is sufficient to receive TGN.
If you also want to watch Dutch channels, then I would just take a look at a satellite farmer in your area. Then you need something else and at least 2 LNBs. Nothing spectacular, but it's getting too technical to explain it all here. In terms of costs a little more, but below 200 euros it should certainly work!
Contact Canal Digital. She she. The provider of satellite TV in the Netherlands.
A small monthly fee if you want to see the Dutch channels.
You no longer need your current TV provider
Wilco,
Another option if it's all a bit too technical for you.
No Thai association or Thai temple in your area?
If so, go there and they can usually help you further.
I bought my dish and receiver years ago in a temple in Belgium.
A few Thai youths came to install and train the dish a few days later.
They also had equipment to aim the dish correctly
In an hour they were done with everything (fix dish, aim, cable to receiver, adjust receiver)
Dish, receiver and installation then cost 100 Euro.
Might be cheaper if you buy somewhere else and do everything yourself, but the price will normally not be that much more. Think of that small additional cost as a donation to the temple/association.
Hello my Thai partner watches Thai TV every day on her laptop .How? go to friendsforever.com create an account and watch whatever you want for free this is also possible on a tablet with APPS search for thai tv and download the APP different options,
Regards Martin
Does anyone know if there are English-language Thai news broadcasts in Thailand on TV or PC?
Very easy.
Buy a 60 cm dish and point it at hotbird.
Free to air so free reception.
Dish and free to air receiver cost less than 100 euros.
Success
We now live in Thailand, but until recently in the Netherlands. With the help of a small satellite dish and a small box we were able to receive channel 5 from Thailand directly (also a few hundred other channels, including ZDF from Germany and Al Jazeera). Excellent image (except if there is snow on your dish). Including installation, we lost a few hundred euros. Bought at a radio shop on the Amsterdamse Straatweg in Utrecht, right next to the water tower. In the end, my wife checked her iPad more often. You can watch any Thai channel with an hour delay on your iPad. Of course you must have wireless internet at home. In Thailand I watch live premier league live (currently FOX). Again with a dish. Gus
We used to have a dish, but this has now been replaced by a tablet. Now my wife has the latest series and I know much more via the internet, I think she gets everything from utube.

Hmm, I just spent 2 weeks with my girlfriend in Bangkok, but the quality of the Thai TV there is also just below par, so it doesn't have to have anything to do with your internet or satellite connection.
It seems that the programs are first burned on a low quality VCD before they are broadcast.
I'm not even talking about the quality of the programs themselves, but that dredger that my girlfriend likes to see makes the tears jump in your ass. Some soap opera that airs three times a week (at 7 or 9 p.m. I believe). She translated the title as 'the real gold'. It's about a drunk mother, crying babies, and a kid. And another series is about a ghost or something. boohoohoo. If she ever comes to the Netherlands, I hope that these channels cannot be received in NL.
The best and most thai channels can be received with a tablet computer that works via android or apple .. you can then thai app. on load that displays almost all thai channels.
The only requirement is to have a WiFi network at home and then it is even better to buy a small device that transmits the signals from the tablet to the TV.
In the past we have also worked with satellite, but only two channels can be received on it.
And with the tablet about 40 ... also the possibility to receive Thai radio channels.
Good luck … mail can be requested if more information is needed.
Dear all. I watch Thai Internet TV (PBS) in HD quality eg in Germany. My PC (display card) is then switched (HDMI) cable with my FLAT TV. So basically I just watch Thai PBS TV on my TV at home. But I also watch channel Thailand 3,5,7 etc. All this via Internet stream. What is needed is a bit fast (>6000) Internet and no old laptop or PC.
Conversely, in Thailand I watch DW (german welle), BVN-NOS, RAI Uno, French TV etc. everything via the cable connection in my wife's flat.
If you want to see that too and don't have a cable TV connection, just go to Google.com or co.th and search for eg PBS + Thailand. This way you can find all your Thai and/or foreign channels together that you saved in your browser via your favorites. And you're done. The next time you only have to click on your choice of channel in your favorites section of your browser. Well, things can go wrong with the Thai Internet. But if you have a fixed connection of, for example, TOT, then you no longer have to worry.
Good luck. great Martin.
