Aww,, well done MJCM! That's a perfect answer!    Thank you very much .
Easy when you know how,  isn't it,  but not exactly intuitive!    Can't help wondering how you came to discover that pressing that cog-wheel symbol opens the language menu.   Anyway,  it works,  and I'm very grateful  

Well I've tried all the above suggestions,  but whatever I do,  I'm still seeing the pages in Thai which are screwing me because I can't navigate them.

I'm not actually trying to upload anything;  all I want just now is to view this page:

http://www.4shared.c...J0O/Shares.html
which I'm sure has been originally uploaded in English,

Can anyone elaborate for the benefit of this "thickie" here exactly what steps I need to take to view this .html file in its original English??

The difference appears to be that Astro has them in HD.
But I've never seen Astro myself,  and I'm still hoping we might find someone on here who has,  so we can get our questions answered more definitively.

Thanks.  Yes that's fair comment,  and Measat3 birds are quite new with their Ku footprints focussed on Malaysia much more tightly than they were with Measat2,  so that's the point that's still puzzling me about receiving Astro up here in Thailand these days.

Oh,  that's a new one on me.   Pretty impossible for Thai authorities to stop people watching satellite TV from other countries,  though,  given all the shops selling all kinds of different dishes and boxes around the country,  and given all the coverage on C-band.   What about Skynindo, for example?  and loads of others?    Malaysia used to ban their citizens from watching foreign TV channels by making it illegal to install a C-band dish there.  Easy to enforce because the dishes are so obvious!    I don't know if that still applies.

Looks to me as if they care enough to have tightened their Ku footprints in their latest Measats,  and to have tied their boxes to their subscription cards, but beyond those two measures I don't see there's much else they can do.

I'm still curious about what exactly people get when they pay that premium price.

It's probably quality rather than quantity,  for example it's got a much better selection of HD channels in MPEG4,  but It would be interesting to hear from someone who has actually watched it because I stick to only free-to-air myself.    There are some things that puzzle me about Astro, too.
