There are occasional feeds on satellites visible from the UK, but these are only occasional.
Do you have any equipment already, or are you just setting up ?

It really depends on what you want to watch most of the time and how much you want to lay out on your new hobby.
Location does play a part too, but only a small one.

Bare minimum is a reciever of some sort, some cable, and a dish and LNB to go on it.
This will get you 1 satellite.

It would really be for american sport
the cost is not really an issue for me if it is possible to get american sports via saterllite

Lots of basketball and icehockey fairly regularly, and the awful 20stone men in tights 'pro wrestling'

You could probably get youself a decent motorised setup for about £150 - £200 if you did the install (not difficult at all)
