they do technomate where you get sky sports and that on?

If you want Sky UK then please subscribe, the only other method is using a card sharing option.

It sounds like you are looking to join a private, illegal, server, to get Sky UK, by paying a monthly, or one off yearly, fee to these criminals.
These servers are illegal, unreliable, and sometimes dodgy, they can take your money and run.

My advice is to stay well clear of them and read the sticky threads in the satellite section.

The more you read the better you will understand the numerous options for viewing satellite television, there are a lot of other satellites available, other than 28.2E.

prem games on saturdays the 3pm kickoffs. cheers

Personally I would advise that first you work out where you need to install your dish, and motor, to receive the maximum number of satellites available.

If you can get away with a ground mount, rather than a wall mounted system, then you will find it a lot easier, for setting up and any future repairs, like replacing the LNB or adding cable runs.

You are allowed up to a 1 Metre dish, in most areas, without the need for planning permission.

Check the sticky threads, and the satellite FAQ's, in the satellite help section:

yes i will look into that, but wanted to know what sport channels where out there before i started spending loads of cash.

Mickha · 27-08-11, 11:35 AM

Far too many to list, just consider all the satellites, channels, and packages available, check lyngsat.com.

For football check LJ's, liveonsat.com, that will give you a small idea of the channels showing football.
