hi, unfortunately here in Malta the local cable company isn't carrying the Cricket World Cup. I would like to watch it at home instead of going to a pub and hoping they are going to show it. I have heard that EchoStar have the rights. So what do I need to purchase to recieve it? Can I just buy one of these ( http://www.directvisionmalta.com/satellitesystems.htm ) and what else do I need?

If you want to watch it on the Echostar service then buy a one way ticket to the USA! If you want to watch the world cup the best way is to buy a subscription to ARY Digital (transmitted on Hotbid)

Heres the full list of whose showing it worldwide on which platform:

Thanks yes i found out after I posted that EchoStar is for the US and ARY Digital has Europe rights.

I should have added that Sky Sports will be taking the cricket in the uk which should be easily enough picked up in Malta if you can arrange a box & sub from the uk

Ary Digital are offering a cricket special offer for 2 months at €100 plus taxes:http://www.arydigital.tv/uk/schedule/prize.html
You'll need a Irdeto 2 cam for Ary Digital on Hotbird.

Yes,The Dragon cam or its new name T-rex cam should work,being a multicrypt cam,that can decode Irdeto 2,and of course,the official Irdeto 2 cam:https://merchant.ipos-software.com/i...hop=FLUTI00021.
Though the Dragon/T-rex cam is better value for money.

Hey thanks for the help, I have sourced a seller of the cam from germany but he says "For you Information you Need Irdeto (Euro Cam) Not Dragon Cam
You will get problem", is this true?

BGonaSTICK · 26-02-07, 12:58 AM

I would have thought that the Dragon CAM would work, but if viewing an official ARY subscription is the primary reason for buying the CAM then maybe you should buy the official one. At least if it doesn't work, you'll have no problem returning it.

If you're not going to use the Dragon for anything else, then there's no point taking a chance.

You can always sell it later if you want to try something different. The official CAMs tend to hold their value quite well in the second-hand market.

Thanks again for your help! last question, I have the option to buy 2 LMB's for LM30 more (~45 uk pounds), I have searched around and it seems that 2 LMB's are only used if you have 2 TV's? Or can you get more chanels with more LMB's? Can I just get the system with one and add another one latter as they are alot cheaper than LM30 for one.
