You can get most Premier League football via a DigitAlb card (around £150) on 16E. Is you're dish fixed? Motorised? Multi LNB? As you would obviously need to point you're dish at 16E as opposed to 13E which Art broadcast on.

Depending on whether you're receiver is patchable, you can also watch it on Premier (19E) and DigiTv (Galaxie sport), or even on Fox TV Turk on 33E FTA if you have a big enough dish

Welcome to Satellite Help by the way

Hi truered,
welcome to the forum.
I have removed your poll as it's not required. At the moment, depending on your equipment, you can get the Premiere package on Astra 1, 19.2E, which shows a lot of English football.
If you want to subscribe, depending on your location, DigitAlb, on 16E, is probably your best option.
Please post back with more details of your satellite set up, dish and equipment, and your general location, e.g. North West England.

Thanks for the replies people

At the moment, i'm using a fixed Dish pointed at 13E, which i used to watch Art Sports on last Season. my receiver is a mvision+ fcis-90 80, and I live in N.Wales(if thats any help) ops: I also have a motorised Dish which my friend passed on to me, but i've never had put up. I was hoping that i could use my original receiver to watch the footie on and just by a card for it but, i don't know if this is possible!

Any further advice would be much appreciated

In North Wales I think you might need a 1 Metre dish to receive DigitAlb, in bad weather, what size are your 2 dishes?

Get the 1m dish pointing at 16E - motorised or not - and buy a DigitAlb card for around £150 - £160.

That will get you plenty (but not all) matches. You may need a CONAX CAM for your mvision box (assuming it has a CAM slot, and I guess it does, based on the name.)

Motorise the dish because Sod's law says the team you want to watch will sometimes be on 13E or 19.2E or one of the others. That would be better than having to watch Stick's team on Digitalb 16E even if you have bought the card.

If the OP is receiver is patched/patchable, a temporary measure could be to have the current mini(?) dish used for ART (Hotbird 13e) realigned to Astra 1 (19e) --- which should be a very straightforward and easy enough job and which, if done by a knowledgeable person, should only take a few minutes.

This means that until the OP sorts out the 1m dish and Digitalb, he should be able to catch quite a few matches on Premiere.
