Thailand-based Cable Thai Holding (CTH), which has the broadcasting rights for the English Premier League (EPL), has announced new STBs for C-Band satellite dish subscribers. The move is to help new subscribers who are currently having to deal with slow installation of Ku-band satellite TV services as well as cable TV.
The STBs will allow subscribers to watch EPL games immediately and is priced at USD 67 approximately. There is also a monthly fee levied on the subscribers amounting to USD 18 dollars. Chief executive Krissanan Ngampatipong said, “There are said 4.2 million Thai households watching TV using a C-band satellite. If we can access this C-band satellite market, we can reach more EPL fans. The advantage of a C-band satellite system is a clearer picture and a strong TV signal even when it rains.”
CTH currently has 800,000 subscribers and households that already have C-band satellite connections at home just have to buy the STB and install it directly. There are a total number of 380 EPL matches in the 2013-2014 season which subscribers can watch through five SD channels and two HD channels, according to the company.
