Not about Vaping

Hi Gang, the information I am sharing with you today has to do with expat living here in Thailand. I look at this Forum as a social media platform. Sure it is about vaping. But that is just a small part of daily life in Thailand. When I find information that will make life here in Thailand better and more enjoyable for fellow Vapes. I have to share. I have lived in Thailand for around six years. One of the things I do not like about Thailand is cable TV The cable/satellite business here in Thailand is just like back in the US. They play the same program over and over. For years, I have been looking for some way to gain access to the latest movie and TV show back home (USA). I was surfing the net about a week ago. I ran across a site that told me how I could get TV and Movies on the Cheap One of the main scores for internet TV and Movies back in the States is Netflix. Netflix is blocked in Thailand. I have found out that if I were to buy some software, it would let me use Netflix. That software is: VPN Service - Encrypt your internet connection - Hide My Ass! Pro VPN. I bought the software and have been watching ever since. Don't bother to go to Netflix without having installed hidemyass. If you do go there you will be told Sorry! I should mention that Netflix also has programming from England, as well. Now you can spend your day Vaping in front of the TV watching something new for a change.

 

i have lived in Thailand almost coming 9yrs and i find nothing wrong with Thai cable tv.

If i just want to watch US tv shows i just download them using torrents.

And also moving thread to the proper section.

 

First thanks for sharing Don. Eaven it's not about Vaping you share because you care.
Using VPN in our days i think is a good thing to use anyhow eaven if it is not for the pourpose of watching TV. Personally i could not cear less about TV since internet.

Well i got true vision hd cable tv, it is ok but i also download movies/tv shows if i cant wait till thay send em on tv , i also use a vpn when i want to see danish tv, i use overplay.net thay have servers all over the world

I also have true internet, it is very good, i pay 699.- and get relly good speed.

 

I tried torrents on many occasions. Band weight is a problem for me. To make torrent work for me I would have to pay 5,000bt per month. The other thing about torrent downloads might be illegal, (trade marked) and the exposure to spyware, and virus. I also found you need to be pretty tech savvy to understanding what is going on and what to do with the downloads. With hidemyass and Netflix it is a paid service, and it is click and play. I now can watch what I want whenever I want. No waiting 5-24 hours for a download. At no time in my post did I intend to say anything bad about Thai people or Thailand. I was taking about the cable industry and how they run their programs.

spacemunk please tell us the name of the proper thread this kind of post should appear in?

 

A free VPN service can be found at ExpatShield. You can then use BBC iplayer to download programs at your leisure

 

I think you have missed the point of my post. We are taking apples as opposed to eggs here. Torrents = free Netflix & hidemyass = paid for services. My post is a way around being censored. And giving me the ability to watch, say a whole season of Friends. Without taking up space on my hard drive. In fact I just finished watching 65 episodes of Burn Notice in a row. Please tell me you can do that with a torrent. Then tell me you have a hard drive big enough to hold all of that.

 

Why's bandwidth a problem for you? How fast is your connection?

Nawt. You can have a decent connection for 600 Baht or more.

Many manuals on the internet. What to do with downloads? Watch them.

Downloading movies with bittorrent clients is what I do. Movies, documentaries, books and software.

 

Nice one. How much does that thing cost?

 

Torrents is the way to go - EZTV is where you need to be and the best VPN service is Identity Cloaker which has its own severs although I am just about to try Expat Shield and see how that works for free. Storage?? I have 12 terabytes. ;-) I only use identity cloaker for watching BBC and porn ;-)

 

And I thought it is only eliquid with nic that is illegal in Thailand.

Anyway, for me tv is torrents and youtube.
