Hi Guys,

My brother has recently taken over a pub and they have a sattelite dish already installed.

The card they have is a digitalb card.

He states they pre-paid and are much cheaper than standard sky subs.

Can anyone help me with this as I have not the faintest idea with regards to SAT.

Is there a way I can get his card back up and running.

Thanks

If you know who supplied it get in touch with them as they can get DigitAlb to activate the card, you just leave your receiver tuned to a specific channel and wait for the card to be updated.
DigitAlb currently do not show any Saturday 3PM kick offs as they have been warned not to.
If the card has run out then you will have to pay to get it updated.
The quality, on DigitAlb, is sometimes quite poor, picture and sound, and the expense might not seem worth it, as they no longer show Saturday 3PM games or the Champions League games.
You might also check the legality of running this card, as there have been some prosecutions recently, it seems to be alright to view oneself but not when showing the games to a group of people, like in a pub.
I'm not sure about this aspect so advise him to please check before use.

Have a look on Marconi digitals website

He updates these cards and also runs a scheme to pay for legal costs should your local authority try to prosecute you

He has this upstairs in the room and sky downstairs for the customers.

The previous landlord had it fitted and they're not sure of where it was purchased.

Is there an alternative, so they can get sports again.

Thanks

Depends on what sports you want mate

Art, Al-Jazerea and Digitalb are about the cheapest. You are then looking at the likes of Premiere, Nova and stuff like that
