what do I need to watch premier league

kennyb106 · 29-10-08, 08:19 PM

Hello, I would like to get a setup to receive premier league football (particularly sat 3pm games). I am a beginner to sattellite setup's, what would I need, ie size of dish, type of reciever, viewing card and how much would it cost?

Thanks

Check out www.liveonsat.com. The best site I have found for football listings. Shows you what channels show the football, you can filter by Premier League. And then work your way back.

What is your location? Depends on location as to size of dish. Check out Lyngsat to see what size dish is required for each satellite.

Also, there are many options for a receiver. My ideal set-up would be with a Dreambox DM800. And I will look to upgrade next year.

And you will probably want at least an 80cm dish to pick up some decent sats, and a motor to drive it. That will probably cost you £100. Then if you want someone to install it you are looking at £150. There are a few installers on here who may help you out.

Thanks for your help. My location is Belfast, I was thinking about a 85cm motorised dish would this be big enough?

Depends what you are hoping to get Im afraid!

Its not big enough for 7W or 16E for starters.....

I need to get 16e, would a 95cm disc be big enough?

Why do you want 16E? Theres sod all 3pm football on it at the moment. There may be 3pm's on it again later in the year but no guarantees. you need at least a 1m for good reception of the DigitAlb sports frequencies if those are the ones you are looking for

DigiTV on 1 west is probably better for Prem football at the moment. I get it on an 80cm dish in SE England. Shame that Premiere on 19.2e is going as that seems to follow Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool. Being a Chelsea fan I'll be sad to see Prem go as I haven't missed a match in ages.

the price between a 80cm dish and a 100cm dish is only a few pound go for a 100cm you will not regret it if i could hide my dish i would have a 200cm dish for 7 west
