yes as you can get to see matches that sky or setanta dont show in the uk due the 3pm blackout rule

do you need to pay a monthly fee?

yes for some channels in pay tv packages like digitalb or greek nova etc, other channels can be opened with a device called diablo cam or by loading modified software on the receiver.

do you get all match day games?

yes you can get to see the lunch time, a few 3pm games and the evening game.

what would i need to set this up?

90cm -1m dish (depending on your location)
diseqc or 36volt motor (depening on install location)
receiver
lnb and cabling etc

how much does it normally cost to set up?

not sure on this one as i setup my own system myself


if you are still interested then take a look at the forum sponsors website southern satellite, they will do a good deal on a motorised system and maybe install it for you if you live in one of the areas installations cover.
