Can anyone technically minded  tell me if the programmes are being broadcast in the modern 16:9 format,
or are the still pushing programmes out in the old 4:3 format

Maybe PaulBax as his dreambox will give the relevant detail about the signal?

Thanks

All the old programmes that I recorded a year or so back have had to be replaced with torrents
to get the right format to fill my LCD screen  Posted Image

All the BBC channels broadcast by Truevisions (Knowledge, Lifestyle, Entertainment, CBeebies) are standard definition 4:3 signal, even with the HD box; but new shows are shown mostly widescreen format 16:10 aspect ratio, i.e. they have black bars at top and bottom. The channel logo usually overlaps though, so it's not quite a clean cut if you adjust your TV's zoom/crop/ratio setting to make the picture fill the screen. Depends on how good your TV is at adjusting and/or upscaling.

None are in HD though (yet :wai: )!

Any 'senior' 5 aside games in Bangkok ?

Sorrry, this has been dormant for a while as the other modes of keeping it updated & comms etc. became more popular etc...

We do still play weekly though, at 5pm every Sunday, on 6-a-side astroturf pitches at Arsenal Soccer School on Prakhanong 21.

Open door policy - all welcome.

Message me through our Facebook page ( https://www.facebook...5370049?sk=info )with your email and I'll add you to our 'Evite' mailout list which is now the main way we keep it updated.

In Topic: Road To Hua Hin

Any updates on the route to Hua Hin from Suvarnabhumi?


I have friends due to arrive from the UK on 12th Nov. who are intending to go straight from the airport to Hua Hin by road.

I've seen (unreliable) reports today that Petkhasem Rd. is flooded at it's Bangkok end (in eastern Bangkok),
and that Rama 2 - as the only alternative leading over the Chao Phraya to the South - is likely to be flooded next...?

When I look at the map on Google, I see that the route from Suvarnabhumi can be via 'Bang Phli - Suk Sawat Expressway' (marked blue road #9, then becoming #37), then joining Rama 2 Rd. (white road #35 ) at Bang Bon, which is surely not affected by flooding as yet... is that correct?

Can anyone confirm whether the route from Suvarnabhumi to Hua Hin is still clear and/or if it's likely to be imminently affected?

Please :)
