You'll also be able to watch the BBC games with a different presenting and commentary team, as well as extended highlights of all the games, on UKTV G2 - http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showpost.php?p=316874&postcount=1

So Hotbird at 13 E will be having them in Wide Beam or Super Beam?

Will they be clear?

 

[Topper]

Sorry to disappoint you VIReN but BBC and ITV are not on 13 deg East so your question cannot be answered

Viren - you can forget any hope whatsoever of watching the footy on the BBC & ITV. Your profile puts you in the Middle East, the satellite they use cannot be received in your location - its restricted to the UK & north western Europe.

sad to hear....

Any chance .... i could recieve the signals for World Cup ... in any language... on any channel (prefereably clear) on HB @ 13.0 E .... encripted ones can also do... as long as they can be viewd on Nagravision, Seca, Irdeto, VIACCESS encriptions (as i can see most if not all channels using these encriptions)

I'm sure it will be on all of the sports networks, the full details will surely be released closer to the event.

ZDF ARD TF-1
