johng Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 From the 5th October until December the "powers that be" are going to re organise the digital tv broadcast frequencies this will cause in outages in the provinces from 9 AM till 5PM and Midnight to 6 AM in the greater Bangkok area. they are moving digital Tv away from the 700 Mhz region to make space for 5G mobile signals. Re tuning of equipment will be required in most places. https://700.nbtc.go.th/ For a nice headache look at technical stuff ???? https://700.nbtc.go.th/ข้อมูลเทคนิค/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a confusing sentence. I'm assuming this is saying the individual OTA (Over The Air) 'stations' will go off-air while they reconfigure their transmitters to operate on a new lower transmit frequency, and individual users will need set their OTA TVs to 'rescan' for channels when their desired stations complete the change. This should not effect CABLE, SATELLITE or INTERNET delivered channel content as the content is usually piped to the providers direct from the originating broadcaster. In the instance that the channel is being picked up OTA then the Cable, Satellite or Internet broadcaster will make the necessary adjustments on their end. Still, spectrum readjustments are a pain for everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( its not confusing to me ???? ) from what I can gather there will be a rolling switchover across the country starting 5th October in Bangkok, I assume that whole MUX's will go down could be many channels at a time some transmitter locations will have more than one of the 5 MUX's change its frequency. we see Bangkok only one MUX changes but for me in Chonburi 3 MUX's change frequency A retune will be needed for Tv's with built in digital tuner and stand alone "set top boxes" Cable operators will retune their own equipment if they source from a terrestrial antenna so end customers should not be effected, Satellite and Internet totally not effected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 At the 700MHZ website https://700.nbtc.go.th/พื้นที่/ you can input your location ( in Thai) and it will tell you when your local transmitter is changing frequencies and what the new frequencies will be. so for me I get signal from Pattaya transmitter and they intend to change over in December so 3 new frequencies. Those in Bangkok will only have one frequency changed should have already happened on the 5th October ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
