Guest Posted March 17, 2002 Report Share Posted March 17, 2002 1408.12 Baht pm for satelite, full package, it is digital which means you lose the signal with heavy cloud or rain. If you mean cable it is available in some areas in BKK outside I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 17, 2002 Report Share Posted March 17, 2002 ...means you lose the signal with heavy cloud or rain No kidding! I remember the raining season last year the signal went out every day for me, bar none and the satellite reception was from a 5-star 26 story serviced apartment. They currently say for the next 2 weeks to expect the signal to go out periodically due to the sun. This makes it frustrating to watch satellite UBC. For reference, I never once had a DirecTV signal dropout in the US, no matter what the conditions. I also find it impractical to find what's on because (1) it takes 3 seconds to change a channel with their box and (2) the "preview" channel is often just an infomercial. If you don't care about such trivial things or the price tag, UBC should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
