Thai football fans can't breathe easy yet. Today the administrative court decides whether all 64 World Cup matches should be broadcast on a free TV channel. TV watchdog NBTC makes this requirement, invoking the 'must have' rule [?].

There's some good news for PSI-O2 HD subscribers, though. Yesterday, RS Plc, which holds the broadcasting rights to the World Cup, and TrueVisions reached an agreement.

Pay TV TrueVisions is allowed to broadcast all matches, but you must have a Sunbox, World Cup set-top box or be a subscriber to the TrueVisions HD package.

The opening match, final and 22 matches can be watched for free on TV channels 7 and 9.

    Hello, I don't understand all the fuss. You buy a special box for 1.500 bath top box in every supermarket
    you connect it and you can follow every match. Guaranteed that you can follow all matches.

    Just a small addition to buying a box. I have the PSI-02 HD box with an HDMI cable to your TV and a hugely good picture. This box has a USB connection on the front to which you can connect an external storage medium (separate hard drive, etc.). In the menu you can set exactly what you want to record, channel start time and end time. In other words, you can also use it as a digital recorder.

    I've had the Truevisions Sport HD package for 8 months now, so you won't hear me complaining.
    The times are not always fun because I just have to work.....

      I have also been working with this club to save my World Cup, but a lot of hassle to set up a vpn, then install xbmc, and then not receive nl tv. They don't deliver what they promise. Requested and received money back. By the way, xbmc and vpn can simply be taken off the internet, even without tvxxl. There are more favorable options for viewing in TH NL-TV.

    Dear Soi,

    XBMC and VPN can simply be obtained from the internet. VPN costs 55 usd per year. XBMC is a free download, from TV XXL you get the modules and all downloads to install in that veronica SBS1, RTL 2 are video sites that are constantly updated, also various other TV channels, football and sports sites, then all films and TV series complete with all years, all subtitled,
    ,

    Installing all this correctly takes some work and if you are unable to do so, see the previous message.

    so it works, otherwise you come and see me,

    Rinse, Face Wash

    According to TPBS, the junta has asked RS to broadcast all World Cup matches on army channels ch5 and ch7. This in the context of the return of happiness for all Thais pursued by the junta.
    Again according to TPBS, RS agreed (could they refuse?). There will be a press conference from RS later in the day.
    The ruling of the Supreme Adm Court has been announced for 13.00:XNUMX (Thai time).

    If it's all true, I'm glad I waited a while to buy an extra box...
