itsala 92 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Just wanted to see any feedback on this company from other users or better see if I can get them to respond. I ordered a one year subscription to their UK sky TV service, with all boxes and postage was 13,000 baht paying COD. It worked like a dream for a month then suddenly blocked all channels. have emailed all weekend and no reply, when i accesses the back end set up on the box i found they had preloaded it with only a month of subscription. just wondered if anyone else found the same or its a genuine mistake on their part and they have just not checked their emails for a while..........although i know i have probably just bought a lemon.

worgeordie 45559 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Another one gets caught,if its the company i am thinking of,,there was a guy posting on here a week or two ago,with the same problem,sold a lemon. You should have went with ilikeHD, no boxes to buy,but you could add their app to your android box that you bought,the most you can loose with ilikeHD is 500 THB if the do go belly up,as you pay monthly,no contract,miss a month if you want,easy. regards worgeordie, google ilkeHD thailand.

You may be correct. Just went to the website of iLikeHD and their website is a copy from that of IPTV Thailand. So probably iLikeHD is also run by Alan Reeks, and a reason to be very wary.

DogNo1 1527 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ilikehd channels often offline, especially Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild. Caveat emptor! Link to post Share on other sites

itsala 92 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 UPDATE I recieved a call from Alan this morning my service has resumed and all seems well.

At least one of that lot would be interested in him. I think the point is, as the OP has said just up here ^^, the service is actually quite good, especially when you compare it to "real" Thai companies like GMM-Z and CTH who have just perpetrated a withdrawal of service and breaking of contracts worse than anything the owner of ilikeHD has done. (See GMM-Z threads where people have signed up for a year in advance, to be told a month later the service is stopping, and you need to install a completely different kind of dish to get the replacement service). So most people, (especially those who don't get caught up with the Thai IPTV scam of buying a redundant overpriced generic android box and just pay 450B for a month's service at a time from ilikeHD) are pretty happy with it. To be frank I've had a month's service from IlikeHD in the past, and may sign up again in a month or so. I am just very aware that this service is (a) dodgy and (b ) likely to disappear overnight when the law catches up with the guy. As long as you are aware of this and don't pay too much in advance you'll be fine. And just buy a generic android box if you want to use the ilikeHD service-you don't need an IPTV one and you can view ilikeHD on a PC or Mac, so you don't need an android box at all.

sniffdog 215 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Who watches tv on his pc or Mac? You need a hdmi cable and you don't get to use a remote. Just buy a cheap android box and install the Ilikehd app. Or if you have an Xbox fire up its browser and use your controller as a remote. Btw anyone who thinks Ilikehd is good has certainly low standards. But it beats having no (uk) tv at all. Link to post Share on other sites

It is connected to my big TV and my amp via an HDMI lead and I have a Windows remote control that I bought for about GBP10 15 years ago that controls all media playback through ZoomPlayer and FooBar (would also work on VLC etc). Also my wireless mouse works fine over the distance required. Link to post Share on other sites

I purchased the subscription more than a month ago for one month and I did it through the ilikehd.tv page but you can't tell what the company is called- the money goes to a personal account with a female name! However all the pages have links to each other on them. If you go to http://www.iptvthailand.tv, scroll down, on the left hand side is a pull down menu titled "manufacturers". This contains a link titled "I likeHD" and this leads you to a page where you can buy just a subscription to ilike HD, as well as a selection of boxes. On this page is a link , the blue square entitled Ilike HD Home page, and this leads directly to a page where I can log in with my ilike HD account name. I'm not going to say much more on this. If the IPTVThailand page leads with two clicks to the ilikeHD subscription login page they are the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Chivas 2868 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I'm lost. Why does anyone need an expat box to watch TV from home ?? Just switch on the appropriate VPN from Zenmate and watch it Live or Iplayer tv ....?? Link to post Share on other sites
Blue flare 24 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The answer to that question is simple, in my case anyway. I have tried several VPN services and even though I am getting 19mbps when trying to watch UK tv, I got buffering all the time. I then tried a DNS unblocker service, Great! works fine, but now Netflix etc are stopping theses services providing the streams, ITV Player now works sometimes, BBC iplayer was still working, but the writing is on the wall for these companies who supply a great service. So currently I am using Thai Expat TV, works well, no problems, but basic. I am about to get myself a set top box and go with Expat Vision, I looked at their packages, they did not have what I wanted at the right price, so I contacted them, got a good deal for exactly what I want. Customer service so far is excellent, answered all my questions on webchat and email, then when I wanted more information, they even phoned me on my mobile! So hats off to Lee and the guys there, I will post an update when I have tried their service for a while, but I could not find any duff reviews.... Link to post Share on other sites

Blue flare 24 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Chivas, I cannot explain either, although I have not tried Zenmate, but have all the other big name VPN's Anyway, got set up with Expat Vision, easy setup, works fantastically well, had a couple of questions which were answered very quickly on webchat. So far very very pleased. Have a question for anyone who has a Mag 250 box, now I am getting my UK tv, my wife wants to know how we can pick up the Thai free digital stations, anybody know how to get that in the Mag box as well?

joncl 84 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 so make a local copy of the stalker middleware from Infomir in your property (the guys who make the real MAG250/254 boxes) with the local channels for your mag250 .. it is free to do ... but not simple Link to post Share on other sites
Blue flare 24 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks for that, sadly you were speaking another language there....
