Guide to Premiership Football on satellite

Pal · 17-01-2006 10:27am #1

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.

many people want to get more Premiership football at home.
Here's an overview to how.

FAQS

Q: What Premiership Football channels can I get on my SKY box ?
A: Sky Sports , Premiership Plus, Setanta Ireland , RTE

Q: So what was that channel they had in the pub showing the match last Saturday ?
A: Most likely ART but possible something else

Q: Can I get ART on my Sky Digibox ?
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: Is ART the cheapest?
A: No. The Albanian channel Digit Alb seems to be.

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

Q: Do these channels, in particular ART, have English commentary?
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.
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?
A: You buy it off-the-shelf in a 3, 6 or 12 month format. It counts down to expiry once you insert it in your receiver.

Q: My mate gets free Premiership football. How does he do it?
A: Read the rules. We don't discuss hacking here.

Q: Does any channel show free to air Premiership football ?
A: Yes. Channel 8 Turkey sometimes. It broadcasts on the Turksat satellite at 42 degrees east. get a motorised dish if you want this one. you could also try looking for a 'feed'. These are signals used by broadcasters to send matches to each other. Eutelsat at 16 degrees east usually has the most football feeds.

Q: What channel shows Celtic home SPL games?
A: Polsat Sport on the Hotbird satellite. it's an expensive card to buy. do a google. Sky Italy have recently started showing some too.

new 12 month ART sport blue cards can be had for 99 pound which as far as I can tell is the cheapest

watty · 18-01-2006 11:08am

Good FAQ. A copy in the ICDGopedia?

Also 15W telstar sometimes has match feeds.

Non-football sport such as USA PGA, NHL and NFL feeds are on some satellites, often on a Sunday evening.

An 80cm dish will work for feeds, but often they are 7/8 FEC or lower power meaning a 1.1m dish is a lot better. Especially if it rains.

yes. why not. thanks for the kind remark.

my post on the soccer forum in the same vein is a bit more comprehensive
if you want to use that one.

johnnyboy4711 · 04-02-2006 6:58pm

looking for a complete system from scratch,so i can watch footie and possibly
super 14 rugby plus movies!
The locating of the card seems to be the problem for me!
thanx

do a google for ART Viewing Card or check the adverts in What Satellite magazine.

there's tons of places selling them.

j4vier · 09-02-2006 1:29am

does art show live serie a matches?

NO Serie A

on another note,
interestingly they showed a Celtic home SPL game last night.
good news for Celtic fans as the other channel Polsat is prohibitively hard to get.

ShevY · 10-04-2006 9:48pm

I have an 80cm dish, using it to get fta+ftv with sky box atm.

So if I purchase an ART 12 month card for 99pounds, and a new receiver, can i reuse the lnb i was using to get the fta for ART Sports?

Can someone recommend a decent cheap receiver that would do the job?

thanks.

ShevY · 10-04-2006 9:56pm

would i be better off going for this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9706869636&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Fcgiurl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%252Fws%252F%26fkr%3D1%26from%3DR8%26satitle%3D9706869636%2509%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1
as it seems to offer la liga and seria A etc. aswell
?

Snake Plisken · 10-04-2006 11:04pm

I heard Art might be moving off Hotbird and will only be available on Nilesat, which is impossible to pick up unless you have a very large dish! Thats what puts me off getting the art card

Snake

ShevY · 10-04-2006 11:06pm

ah **** :mad:

how big a dish are we talking here?

This rumour pops up around this time every year. I would not take much notice of it to be honest.

Wont go wrong with a Technomate 1500ci super. Has a cam slot and also a built in card reader, which takes an art card no bother.

mayto · 10-04-2006 11:58pm

are you sure the technomate 1500ci has built in cam?,does not mention viacess cam on that ebay link.this german site is a way cheaper http://www.digi-sat-online.de/product_info.php?cPath=49_60&products_id=34 ,you can get reciever like that technomate which you can add hard disk to.viacess cam for 41 euro http://www.digi-sat-online.de/product_info.php?products_id=336.

Aquos76 · 11-04-2006 12:04am

Yes I am sure. It has a built in cam which can also be patched. I have this receiver and I have been using it for Art since the beginning of the season. Previous to this model I was using a technomate 5500 with a viaccess cam.

Check out this forum for more information. You will need to register first and then go to the technomate section

ShevY · 11-04-2006 12:06am

anyone know anywhere cheap to get the ART SPORT + AL JAZEERA SPORT in1 cards?

Your probably better off waiting until after the season ends at this stage.

This link seems good value though

mayto · 11-04-2006 12:21am

not a bad reciever then Aquos76 for that money.the art /al-jazeera sports card can be got here off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-Year-ART-SPORT-AL-JAZEERA-SPORT-arabesque-card_W0QQitemZ9707519436QQcategoryZ60837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
for 206 euro incl. del.

Aquos76 · 11-04-2006 12:27am

Yeah its an excellent receiver. Also if you do purchase it make sure you also buy a null modem cable. This will allow you to patch it yourself.

The link you referred to was the one I was trying to link to in my previous post. I didnt realise it was a link to microsoft. I have since fixed it.

The rights to the channels are sold by Satellite Companies and other corporations to Asian countries, these are then streamed directly over the internet meaning no copying is involved, you are simply viewing a gateway. The programs are all peer to peer, programs such as Limewire, Kazaa etc work in a similar way.

The streams obviously were not intended for public viewing so are outside the remit of this Forum.

Pal · 25-05-2006 9:37am

The ART CARTE now shows 6 ART Football channels and 2 Al-Jazeera Sports channels.

European football comprehensively covered live by this.

Pal · 04-08-2006 9:23am

Free football on Hotbird 13e and Astra 19e

Duna TV - Hungarian League
TV Bulgaria - Bulgarian League
SportItalia - Italian Serie B
DSF - English FA Cup and Coca Cola Cup
RTR Sport Planeta - Russian League
TVRi - Romanian League

expect more as the season commences and it becomes clearer what is available for free.

Pal · 19-09-2006 2:08pm

2M Maroc will show live Premiership this weekend.

they start with Charlton v Villa.

mjsmyth · 19-09-2006 4:24pm

Is that the 2M that is FTA on Hotbird?

watty · 19-09-2006 4:51pm

2M is FTA (=Free) on Hotbird

Aquos76 · 19-09-2006 11:39pm

I think this is the one refereed too.

2M from Morocco

Coming Up

Sat 23 Sept - Aston Villa Vs Charlton

Sat 30 Sept - Charlton Vs Arsenal

Sun 22 Oct - Manchester Utd Vs Liverpool

recyclebin · 23-10-2006 5:51pm

TV8 on turksat showed the man utd versus liverpool match yesterday FTA. I know they show some matches fta but I hadnt checked that station in ages. Have they shown many premiership matches live and FTA this season?

Aquos76 · 23-10-2006 6:16pm

The Man U v Liverpool was also free to air on LiderTV on 13e. This is not the first time this channel has shown a Man U game this season. They also showed Man U two homes games with Newcastle and Arsenal.

Pal · 10-11-2006 10:21am

I notice newcomer to Prem football broadcasts Sportsmax at 53w is showing Everton game this weekend FTA.

Oh to have a motor !

watty · 10-11-2006 4:03pm

It's on C Band, not Ku, a motor won't be enough
http://www.lyngsat.com/i707.html

3.820GHz R circular polarisation

3m mesh dish, C Band LNBF and specialist receiver. Zaphod knows about all that stuff.

The coverage map is hard to understand. It might be Americas, or Argentina.

... later ...

I considered further. It is WEST hemi. so not possible here on ANY size dish. Pick by local relays in Trinidad.

We only get EAST hemi C band from that bird.

Move along lads. nothing of interest here

Pal · 13-11-2006 9:42am

bloody hell Watty.

You know your stuff .

watty · 13-11-2006 11:48am

Oddly I get paid for knowing all this stuff*.

But often "knowing stuff" is a recipe for unpopularity, While no-one likes a clever dick, they hate ones that are right.

Thanks for vote of confidence. Knowing which query to put in Google, though is 90% of the cleverness. Understanding the results is the other 10%

(*But not by Boards. Also the rumours of drungs, fast wimmin, etc are just that.)

dgl · 05-12-2006 4:24pm

Hi all,

Errr, i'm a newbee so apologies if this is an obvious question but.....

I have set up my satellite system pointing to hotbird and have picked up art sports 1 - 4 with my receiver and viaccess viewing card fine.
Unfortunately, i cannot seem to find artsports 5 or 6. Are they broadcast on hotbird still?
If so, is the channel name something other than "Art Sport 5...." ?

thanks!
dgl

Aquos76 · 05-12-2006 8:36pm

12015 h 27500 is where all the Art channels are located. Yes they should be labelled Art Sport 5 and 6

dgl · 06-12-2006 11:25am

thanks for your reply.
i did a manual channel search on those parameters and it picked up 1 - 4 again fine, but still no 5 or 6.
could there be a problem with my LNB?
i notice from websearches that missing channels are sometimes due to that....

thanks
dgl

.G. · 23-02-2007 1:50pm

For those who don't already know.ART Sports have lost the contract for Premiership games from next season.If your thinking of buying a card buy 3 months at most.Unless they buy the rights in a secondary deal from someone else they won't be showing the prem next season.Digitalb is now the best bet although they always showed less matches on saturdays,hopefully this will change.

The 2007/8 package will be available on Saudi Arabi Showtime which will be a horizontally polarised channel on Nilesat 7w .

Lets not get into cards. Just the dish.

A friend in the pub business was warned that he will require a 1.8m or 2m dish for next year . Cost min €1200 for the dish and alignment and stand off above roof pole mount at the back of his pub .

I thought he was having me on and then I read this.

ShevY · 01-05-2007 5:07pm

Apparently, Premiere Sport will have something like 320 of the 380 games next season. They always have english or german audio.

I don't know if you can just buy a sub card tho or if you need an address in germany to get one..

Pal · 03-05-2007 9:55am

To change the audio on Premiere to English.

Go to your system setup and increase the 4 digit APID number for the channel you are watching by one.

example change 2316 to 2317

Works with other broadcasters too.

Most (all?) receivers have a button on the remote which allows you to easily switch between the various language streams which are transmitted.

Sponge Bob · 03-05-2007 11:08am

not on sky of course Zaphod

watty · 04-05-2007 10:20am

They have moved the subtitles & commenrty on/off to the help. The Sky box is very very good user friendly for what Sky want you to be able to do, and usless for anything else.

when the language button does nothing because the braodcaster doesn't provide the choice, you need to change the APID.

maybe Watty can explain.

Zaphod · 05-05-2007 11:00am

From my own experience, I don't think I've encountered any channels, including Premiere, where the APIDs had to be changed manually.

Although I've noticed in one or two recent digital receivers the ability to edit the PIDs manually has been removed. Not good if you're trying to lock SCPC channels with low SRs or incomplete PATs.

Spliffy · 28-05-2007 1:40pm

i heard that al jazeera will be showing a lot of premiership games this coming season any truth in this ?

fish fingers · 06-07-2007 10:43pm

i have technomate 1500 ci+ box, 80 cm dish. Im in Galway. im lookin to replace my art sub. with Digitalalb sub for new season. Do i just purchase card or do i need cam as well?? Alsat seem fairly reliable i reckon.
