Seems like this year there are less NFL games on UBC. Does anyone know when games are supposed to be shown?

There seems to be less games this year,,I get a magazine from them every month and the games are listed in there, But I have also just switched on the "TV GUIDE and there will be a game in progress or listed there that hasn't been in the book,,a lot of games come on shortly after midnite monday morning between 0000 and 0400..

Great... so they raise the monthly fees and and then cut out some of the expensive NFL coverage. Probably replaced by more soccer. TIT

Yes, that seems to be exactly what they have done,
And not only that, but as TOXIN expands his communications empire and aquires more companys and invests more money, the program quality of UBC as a Sat. or cable supplier is dropping to the equal of regular commercial TV., commercials every 15 minutes and breaks in programing with RED/BLUE screens coming on and advertising cell phones,SMS ads. cell phone services,concerts, happenings in BKK,,
All the programs are of the type that are used on commercial TV rather than the programs of a type made for Cable/SAT. broadcast where you do not have the commercial breaks in the programs. and the commercial breaks are filled with TOXIN aquired businesses.
Everything is of the cheapest quality that can be had. with the same programs being recycled every few months . I am thinking of dropping UBC from my monthly bill paying menu.
Makes me think of when he took over CSCOMS,dropped monthly user unlimited for 1000 baht and required monthly users to buy SAT. for 9K baht and a 500 baht increase in the monthly cost of service, And the only thing you got from it was a small SAT dish on your house that said "IPTV" in the dish and you still had to hookup and send and recieve internet on your dialup.,
9000 baht for the same thing that you could have bought at any WalMart in the states for $49, only there you would have got SAT TV on the dish for another $20 a month for 250 channels and no commercials. and incoming internet for another $19.95 with downloads at 400kbps. Sad
