Live Streaming vs DVR

Let's talk about what I know: Thai Expat TV - iLikeHD - schoener fernsehen

Pre recorded also known by the name DVR (Digital Video Recording)


In the case of Thai Expat TV, programs are pre recorded, allowing you to watch programs from previous six days and the present day.  The software generally buffers from 20 to 30 minutes of programming onto your computer memory, with streaming interruptions almost never, seldom.

Most interruptions here would be caused by loss of connection from your own server.

Thai Expat TV  allows free 2 day trial




iLikeHD features live TV streaming and pre recorded (movies, series).  There will be times when live streaming interruptions are caused due to conditions beyond the control of this service.  Live signals are mostly received by satellite which can be interrupted due to weather conditions and other connectivity interference.




In the case of iLikeTV live streaming can 'sometimes' be restored by changing the ISP, depending on the reason for the interruption. Click on gear at bottom right of the video screen to make changes.

iLikeHD requires that you register with your Thai telephone number, after which you can view a number of free Thai TV channels and select from various packages available








schoener-fernsehen provides a large selection of FREE  live streaming English, German and French channels. A separate onlinetvrecorder is available for downloading programs
