Default Footie at the weekend

Hi Guys, I see Celtic v Rangers is on Turksat 2A this Saturday
and Aston Villa V Man U is on Eutelsat w2 as well FTA do you think I will have a problem finding these sats manually?. the ark picture shows Turksat 1c I take it that 2a shares that space as well.

Thanks in Advance

Yes m8, 2A shares the same place as 1C

I can pick them up no problem up here using a 1m dish

The Business Channel showed quite a few games towards the back end of last season so hopefully this will continue

L.J's have it as showing on Sportsklub and it is flagged as FTA amd as for the Celtic Rangers game my dish is only 60 cm the footprint shows it could pick it up but I have my doubts.

SportsKlub is indeed currently FTA, or at least it was last time I tried it (Wednesday I think)

You're probably right though, you may well struggle with a 60cm to pick up 2A. For 16E I would hope and pray for an extra clear day and cross all fingers and toes as 80cm is usually regarded as the minimum requirement for any sort of reliable reception from this bird

I tried to get Turksat, couldn't get my dish far enough east as it clashed with the shed! got 11% quality on this one I think 60cm was not big enough for this one and as for 16E! no chance, it wasn't pre-programmed in my receiver and I now need to learn how to enter satellites, allas my instructions were hard to follow, I will post on the SL65 section for advice. Getting Hotbird was easy so I thought......yeh this is a doddle!

Thanks
