    The following guide to Premiership Football is on the Euro Sat forum.
    Send a pm to Hagar for access.
    plenty of experts there.
    I have duplicated the post here since many of you cannot access Euro Sat.
    Hope the mods are ok with this.
    Premiership Football is available worldwide on TV.
    I recently watched it on network TV in Canada.
    The Premier League website lists the channels that have the rights.
    Many of these channels broadcast on satellite.
    It's a bit long winded, but essentially pick the country you want.

    A: No. The Sky dish is pointed at a different satellite. It also uses a diferent encryption system.

    Q: What's the Norwegian and Greek channels that used be in my pub showing the match ?
    A: Canal+ Scandinavia and NOVA. Both unlikely to be there now as ART is much cheaper.

    Q: How many football channels on the ART card?
    A: 4

    A: Normally yes but occasionally when they don't the rumours abound that Sky are forcing them to broadcast in their own language for one reason or another.

    Q: What equipment do I need ?
    A: An 80cm dish (slightly bigger than a Sky dish at 60cm) pointed at the Hotbird satellite at 13 degrees east.
    A satellite receiver capable of handling viacess encryption or else one with a slot for a cam.
    A viewing card.


    Q: can I use my cheap LIDL satellite kit?
    A: No. The dish is too small at 57cm and the receiver cannot take a viewing card.


    Q: How much does it cost?
    A: basic equipment should run about €250.
    card subscriptions in or about €20 per month.


    Q: How does the card subscription work?

    If anyone is interested in getting art sports you can get official 12 month subs off ebay for about 140 euros. I got one myself before xmas, and its a great price since some online shops charge that for 6 months. Heres a buy it now, I just found:

    http://cgi.ebay.ie/1-YEAR-ART-SPORTS-DIGITAL-ARABESQUE-SATELLITE-CARD_W0QQitemZ5853415114QQcategoryZ60837QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Just type art sport in to ebay.ie and more will come up.

    But you will need a viacess cam and a receiver that accepts cams.

    without getting technical
    many receivers will take the card direct.

    I will leave the FAQ at that. This is a football board after all and to go into more detail might mean moving off topic. You can of course get a lot more than Premier League with a simple setup. Some folk watch La Liga, Ligue1, Bundesliga, SerieA etc.,. . International football is widely and freely available too. Hope it helps. Please feel free to pm if you have any questions. Enjoy.
