anyone wanna take pity on a noob?

[fersy]

as you can guess im totally new to this and ive got some questions i hope someone will answer
ive been wanting to get some of those channels that show the premiership matches 3pm on saturdays etc. but i havent a clue how to go about it or if ive got the right equipment
ive just recently bought an analogue system which consisted of a 90cm dish and a "SR 1902 VC 999 channels stereo satellite receiver" decoder
the decoder also has this logo on it " DiSEqC 1.0 " whatever that means
now it doesn't have a card or card socket so i assume i can only get fta channels on it. i had it originally tuned to the astra satellite but that didnt seem much good for football ive been on the luvvly jubbly website which showed all the different matches and which satellites they could be found on but they all seemed to have some sort of encryption at least i assume thats what the writing beside them was eg.

i assume thats what nagravision etc. is
anyway is this equipment any use or would i need a digital system like sky
also ive heard people talk about a motorised thingy to move the dish for you .
are these expensive because when i get sorted im definitely gonna want one of these

ps. im from n. ireland if that makes any difference

What you have is an analogue receiver, so you will really need to upgrade to a digital receiver and possibly a motor of some sort.

Much of what is listed above is only available with a genuine subscription card, but some can be obtained, at least in the short term, by other means.

Have a look in the Matrix reloade section, then in the cards and programmers section for more information.

im getting sky digital this month if ive got a motor etc will that sky system allow me to get these?

 

[Razor]

No the SKY system will not do for these channels. You need normal digital receiver.

 

[waverider]

I take it you have browsed this site fersy? http://www.knplogic.co.uk/sport/ just look up the FTA channels and that's what you can watch without subscription m8

 

[fersy]

cheers guys i just checked out that site again and it now lists 2 channels with fta (mpeg) beside them which are showing the united fulham game on saturday

(although these were not listed last night when i checked - must have been updated since then)
the channels listed are tvsport ro and ntv turkey will i be able to recieve these on my analogue system?

oh and thanks again

 

[waverider]

@ fersy...it's like my bible m8....read it every day

 

[fersy]

will i be able to get these with an analogue system though before i go out and start moving my dish tommorrow cause its snowing here and im not getting up no ladder if i dont need to

If you go to lyngsat.com, you can check exactly what channels you can get. FTA analogue channels are colour coded white. I don't think you'll have much luck with footy. Some cup games are FTA on a German channel that may still have analogue transmissions. My receiver is doesn't have analogue so I've kind of lost touch with it, probably like the majority of people here.

Afraid not Fersy,
Don't get the ladder out just yet. Both TV Sport (Sirius 5 East) and the Turkish channel are both digital.
To get these channels you will have to upgrade to a digital receiver, ain't life a bitch.

 

[waverider]

Yep no FTA Man U yet fersy )(-red

Fersy - MPG or MPEG2 means a digital transmission

Any data that lists SR or FEC is not available to an analogue receiver, but I would be interested in what an SR 1902 is. very few analogue receivers state the DiSEqC logo, even 1.0 ( a 4 satellite system)
