Viasat is on the Nordic beam for all of the football.
Best place for the PL this season and the next as Viasat have the rights to all 380 PL games.

i ve installed it now but i think its best to line it up on my horizon meter using the 4.8e N setting as with the standard 4.8e it shows 100 percent but i only had 28 percent 0n the 4.8 N and it broke up alot i managed to get it upto 68 percent on 4.8 N and it is fine now .cheers

Yes, that is what I do, do initial alignment on a strong transponder, then switch to one of the weaker Nordic ones to fine tune, generally the main one for the footie channels.

Try tuning in some FTA channels, on 4.8E, and post your signal strength/quality, your dish might need a little tweaking:

actually that one... [or that tp] would be the one to fine tune on for hd if you do check there isn't another issue ... dish size, dish not bent, lnb, coax or connector faults &/or local noise issues .. get that one as high as possible if usng a hd box [samsung? pace?] & the other channels will be OK.

set it up on 11.747v 27500 that is the viasat extra pl channels get the strongest possible signal on that one as it is a weak transponder and the others will be fine
