Neeranam 8,266 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I haven't had TV channels(or been interested) for over 7 years, when I had KK TV, which was great. They didn't have a service to my area, although it is in town. What are the options? One of my TVs is 10 years old and not SMART. Should I buy a SMART TV so I can get Android? Not sure if this means I can watch the Premier League football or not. Maybe I'd be better buying one of those boxes for my old TV. Does anyone know the satellite options? I had a large satellite with 150 channels about 10 years ago but maybe satellite are old fashioned now. What do you have/recommend? Link to post Share on other sites

I bought an android smart TV from Makro last year, great, I love it. It's connected to my smart phone hot spot, so I can watch heaps of things on YT, plus I have Live Net TV installed on my smart phone and can cast movies, news, sports...whatever to the TV. Nothing to pay as it all runs off my unlimited DTAC pre-paid sim. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
fishtank 4,182 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Android Box and subscribe to a IPTV . Plenty out there if you search. If you specifically want Premier League football you can download the True ID app to your phone and pay 299 Baht a month. Send it to your TV via Chromecast. Chromecast is a small device you connect to your TV via the HDMI input. Or you can buy the TrueID android box that will already have the Premier League plus other channels already installed including Netflix. All available on Lazada for not a lot of money.

Actually, I have EZCast that allows me to send stuff to my TV, but Netflix doesn't work. I'd prefer not to use it this way. So TruID has no monthly charge? Link to post Share on other sites
sanuk711 9,143 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Your get the usual news services (BBC-Fox-Sky-etc) just from the Thai cable companies for a few $$ a month. Whats wrong with the internet for everything else? They have sites dedicated to all UK programs.... gosh it even has the Scots & Welsh news 1 hour latter than broadcast. Same for the USA programs. Movies as soon as they hit the Cinema , all the sport. I watch match of the day with breakfast every week. Stop it when you want to ---go do something come finish a month latter. And the cost is Zero---zilch--narda. I hear people raving on about this box at this price etc........ There is nothing on any box that you have to pay for that the internet can not give you for free...... +.. if you have unusual hobbies or tastes. Your find it on the internet. And from ThaiVisa you can get opinions about great series you probably wouldn't normally consider. Go Look---- Link to post Share on other sites

You connect the Android smart TV to any wifi, in my case that's the hot spot from my smartphone, which is 10mb speed unlimited data DTAC pre-paid. My laptop, my android TV, and my wife's phone all connect to that hot spot...no problems at all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Smart TVs are pretty much useless. An Android box is far better. Download Mobdro app. Not perfect but it kind of works. Free and has all the sport channels.

What about a Smart TV with Android? Surely that is better than an old TV with a box. Did you know you can buy a Smart Android TV 55 " for 11k? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I had a look at Mobdro and read "Mobdro continuously searches YouTube for the best videos and then provides the users with all the links in just one place." So does it offer anything beyond YT? Because if not why bother? I have YT on my smart TV already and watch flicks, docos, news and other things now. Link to post Share on other sites

My TCL Android smart TV comes with a bunch of things pre-installed, I mostly just have it on YT because everything is already there...news, movies, shows and on and on. And I cast from my smart phone to the TV if there's a particular movie/show i want. Very happy with my TCL smart TV, one of the best things I've bought, cost me under 5000bt in Makro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
