Default Best satellite for UK football

Just wondering, if I went for a fixed dish, what would be the best satellite for picking up live UK football? (using DM 500S)

Cheers.

Yes, that is about right, though I think you normally get a receiver included in that price too.

ok, this may seem stupid, but why pay over the odds forSky Italia, when you can get Sky UK for less? (currently paying around 780 for sport & movies). Or am I missing something?

I once brought a Sly Italia card with Mondo and Calcio for £600 off some dude in Ilford a couple years back. It was a cracking package and at that price, you pay a little more than what the Italians pay for the service. Obviously now traders are trying to make 100% profit by selling the card at £1000+. Heck, no TV sub is worth that much and you should invest those monies into a trip to Italy or something
