Right now with Premiere open you could use a fixed 60cm dish with a patchable receiver like the Technomate TM1000/TM3000/TM5000 series

DOnr rely on h&cked channels if you are a real sports nut - they come and go as the providers play cat and mouse with the code breakers. For example Premiere will be going secure later this year when they improve their encryption again..

If football is really important then subscribe to one of the foreign providers - DigitAlb subs can be had cheaply

the only question regarding Eurosport is How many channels will they have this year to cover the Olympics and sport in general on HD. I reckon 3 channels. for the uk and english speaking european market. all on HD .One should be at least a dedicated for the olympics but i can see the viewer being offered to watch transmissions similar to BBC s offering of snooker where yu can watch two games at the same time. In theory maybe as many 4 at the same time.
