ART have a Europe link on their website.

I assume (stating the obvious) that this is intended for Europeans.
i.e.
me

unfortunately it is in Arabic and I'm not up to speed.

question is...

are we ok to talk about ART here ?
I know there are a few places in Ireland offering this service.

here's some interesting stats I picked up on another site about ART.

they reckon 343 users in Ireland. I'd guess there are a lot more when you consider all the pubs today

note, we have identical numbers to Greece

Well I have it and think its a brilliant package if it Premiership football your after. There coverage is second to none.

Look at the listings for St Stephens day for example. 8 premiership matches been played and Art are doing all 8 Live, where as between Sky and PPV, they are covering 3.

Pal

I'm torn between two minds.

buy an ART card and have no excuse to go to the pub.

what's the movie channel like on ART ?

can you get English soundtrack ?

Hagar

Do you have any info on legitimate sources for the cards and prices?
Are there levels of subscription or is it an all or nothing deal?

Is there a problem with the figures above?
Surely the potential audience in a country would be total population?
Looks like only 929 people live in Ireland

Aquos76

AFAIK there are only the one package which sell over here. I only use the sports channels. There are movie channels on the cards also but they dont carry english audio and they only seem to be old foreign movies shown.

There are many satellite shops selling these 6 month cards for around 99 pounds . Very good value. Also there are for sale here in ireland for 200euro. I have a source for these ones. If anyone want moreinfo on these pm me.

Hagar

Leonard I hope that you are not asking for PMs because the cards are not legit.

If you suggest supply of illegal cards through these boards by Pm or otherwise you will have the honour of being the first person banned from this Forum.

Pal

ok no trading.

I think I will have myself a little Christmas pressie.

Hagar, If this board is private, nobody will know about it.
could get very incestuous around here.

can we advertise for posters ?

Hagar

Yes indeed we do need more posters. Please invite interested parties along. I have a bit of pimpage in my sig. You could do the same.

BTW a private forum is like being in a locked room with a glass roof, outsiders can't get in but the Gods are still watching us.

So let's all play nice like we said we would.

No I am not offering to supply these cards through PM. What i was offering was if anyone wanted to PM me I would gladly give them the details of where these cards can be purchased legally here in Ireland. Thats all.

If I cant answer a question which I was asked by you mind you earlier in the thread

Do you have any info on legitimate sources for the cards and prices?

whats the point in me submitting here at all?

Hagar

Offering to trade via PM might give people the impression that all was not above board.

My earlier question was to encourage you to post up the details not to question your integrity.

I don't think the "Gods" even need the roof to be glass!

Or just keep the eye out on arabic forums for the odd interesting I.P.

The art package is really good as leonard said for the premiership games, usually every saturday you get a choice of four matches at 3pm which is great if you are looking for something to watch, for overall viewing choice DIGITALB gets my vote.

.G.

What's the price difference on the the Digitalb compared to ART.I'm currently setting up for Prem games and am not sure which card to go for.

mayto

you can get 12 month artcard for about 140 euro off ebay uk.6 month digitalb card can be got for 110 euro.digitalb shows good movies also ,months ahead of sky.
