Hi guys.Im from the UK and i wanted to set myself up with Viasat satellite,I think its a scandanavian network but i mainly want it for the Viasat sports channel. What would I need to buy,ie box and card and what size satellite dish would i need to broadcast from England to recieve the sports pack the cheapest way.

The signal is pretty easy to receive, however the scambling system is not hacked ATM - the only way to watch those channels is with a genuine card. It has been open before and may be again in the future. Dish size ranges from 60cm in the far East to maybe 1.2m in the SW of Scotland.

ok thanks.I used to have a setup for dutch tv using a dual LNB 1m dish and a reciever that was called Manhatten.Would this reciever be compatable?

That would receive the signal, you would need the appropriate Cam and card to decode the channels though.
