If you have a good internet connection you can use what they call "Slingbox" and if you want to watch sports use the web site www.athde.net.

I am lost without UKNOVA. It can be a bit hard to register as they keep members numbers down, but in saying that a few friends have got in recently. It is a very comprehensive schedule of UK based torrrents that aredownloadable and usually a couple of days old compared to the original 'airing' date. I use/downloaded VUSE to organise the 'torrents' within my PC.

Its my No.1 site and other progs can be found on Piratebay or Mininova.

I use GPRS connection as I have no land line,many different dishes around but you need True Visions <UBC> or the satellite which picks up all the Supersport Channels which has Sky ,BBC entertaiment,BBCLive,Nat Geo,Hist Ch,& many movie channels all in English.

Cheers for all the info you have given me, very helpful

With regards to GPRS, I am bringing my laptop with me in January and would like to access emails etc, is it best to buy an aircard to plug in or are there any better methods?

I just remembered I have a HUAWEI E169G Dongle here in the UK, it would be very expensive to use it over in Thailand with the existing sim, could I get a local sim and insert or will it have to be unlocked?

1-2-Call internet card costs around 150 baht with 20 free hours

I don't have a clue as to whether or not your dongle would or can be unlocked!!!!!!
The easy thing to do is to bring it & try it

I'd be very reluctant to have anyone interferring with my dongle!
