Premier league footie on non UK satellite

[fendale2000]

I did a quick search on here and a bit of googling, thinking it would be easy to answer this question, but I haven't found the answer yet!

What is the best way to get a setup at home to watch the Premier League football on one of the non-uk european satellites (ie not SKY)? I did think of investigating this before, but the recent news story about the Pub owner showing the games on Greek satellite has renewed my interest.

I know you need to pay a subscription to a foreign broadcaster, so where can you buy the equipment and cards from and how much does it tend to cost per month?

Thanks.

Well a sky itailia card is over a £1000 imo is the best and you would need a dish on 13e. Or a tring card and an 80cm dish pointing at 16e. Plus you will need a decoder. It's not cheap to set up. Or you can have best of both worlds and get a motorised dish.

Wooo over £1000!? I thought this was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to Sky, with the added benefit of getting even more games (especially the 3pm KOs)?

What about this Greek system that has made the news recently?

[Possy_99]

it's cheaper than sky because sky charge pubs a hell of alot more than residential customers

[Wizzo]

I think she was paying £450 a month to Sky and £110 a month to Nova

tring is the best, picture quality is a bit like vhs,
but normally 4 epl games on saturdays & midweek nights
in english as well

Agree Tring Plus card 4 3pm kick offs on Saturday, lunch time KOs evening games even when not on sly or e*pn plus FA cup games now selling at £199 bargin

I only watch in HD. Tring doesn't get a single view from me.

PLTV HD on 10.e has been open since the start of January. Quality channel, watched Newcastle and man u games on it today.

i cant get 9E or 10E because of a stinking telegraph pole riht in front of the dish.

Why dont you just do cs ?
Faili g that tne cheepest option is tring plus card from the albainian.

I've had a few receivers so far & I'm looking at a spiderbox now to specifically get tring. £169 sounds good for the packages it opens.

[Possy_99]

spiderbox is shite.. m8 has one - it's nasty.. horrible.. uurrggh! and then the "free gift"... ha! not worth pissing on if it caught fire imo.

[the.insane]

have you al loked into the GGG HD box ? this comes with a free gift too, not the greatest for saturday afternoon but a HD box with free gift for £95 cant be bad. thats how much i paid for it but i think the average price is about £120 ish

[beansontoast]

I'll look again at the packages that are available with those receivers. On Wednesday the Bolton v Wolves game was only on viasat - another package I can't get (tring is the other one).

The little old maxx 1000 receiver has served me well & was only £60. I want to fill the gaps though, at least on Wednesday night the game was on in the pub.

Clone DM800HD,a good c$ and hey presto you have the lot.

^^^

Except some of the tuners are shit and glitch. Haven't quite cured mine yet.

There is nothing wrong with the spider 7000 ,its just the cunt the sells them thats a dick .
Ypu would be hard to get a better hd box for the same mony , you can get a open box for 90
But the quality of the hd on the spider is realy good.

Sounds like this could be the way to go, but I'm totally out of touch with the sat scene so it looks like more research is needed!
