True4U originally launched in 1998 as Shopping@Home, a shopping television channel owned by UBC and broadcast on its own platform. In 2005, the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion, a department of Ministry of Industry hired UBC to produce their own channel and rename the channel to SMEs Shop Channel. In 2009, TV Direct Co., Ltd., a Thai shopping television network, rented the channel and renamed to Shopping Network.

In 2012, the platform operator, TrueVisions relaunched the channel renaming it as "True 10" broadcasting on various platforms. True 10 aired entertainment, news and sport programs from TrueVisions and self-produced.
