[sattox]

hi all im new here really kept meaning to come on and post,help and be helped....well heres where i need helping...i can install sky and have a meter for most sats...what i need to know is whats the best box to use to obtain the 3pm saturday premiership games thats all im really interested in as i have sky for the rest of the crap......

As theres virtually no freebie 3pms left - and the final compromised pay service is about to go scrambled that depends on which subscription you will be buying

 

[sattox]

isnt nagravision an open platform and what about the dream boxes

 

[Analoguesat]

Compromised nagra is down to DigiTV on 1W - and thats the one thats going secure soon!!

Dreamboxes dont magically give you free pay tv - you still need access to a subscription.

 

[sattox]

ok so what would u recommend subcription to ,to obtain the saturday games

 

[Analoguesat]

How much do you want to spend??



The best subs are getting on for a thousand beer tokens a year if you have to use a uk based reseller!

The best one is probably Showtime on 7W but it needs a BIG dish in the UK. (Dish size is location dependant)

 

[sattox]

im in the south east(surrey) what size dish

 

[Analoguesat]

Umm a very well set up 1.2/1.5m (set up by someone who knows what they are doing!) should be ok.

This means a decent dish - not some ultra cheapie from Maplins!

 

[Robbo]

A 1.2m dish would barely get the horizontal transponders, only about 1 to 2 dBs more gain than a 1m. You should see them though.

 

[Analoguesat]

Ah cheers Robbo - you know the actual situation down there better than I do

I know the Scottish sizes better

:-looky

Borders / Dumfries -> forget it
Edinburgh / Glasgow -> forget it
all other areas -> forget it

1.1m and dm500 for canal sport here. That has loads of games, never had any signal issues at all.

By Canal Sport are you referring to the Canal Digital package on 1 West?
You require a smaller dish for this package, but as stated for the Horizontal channels, on Showtime, 7W, you will need a large dish:

As you can see the lyngsat map doesn't even show the dish size required in the UK:

and the kingofsat map is a little confusing, regarding dish size required:

If you are lucky enough to only require a quality 1.5M dish, or slightly larger, it might be worth considering, as most of us have no chance of receiving these channels, not without a 2.4M - 3M monstrous dish, and poor Scotland misses out altogether

You can still get one 3pm game a week with a Diablo cam on C+Ned on 19°e.

Might not last very long though.
