If anyone is interested in getting art sports you can get official 12 month subs off ebay for about 140 euros. I got one myself before xmas, and its a great price since some online shops charge that for 6 months. Heres a buy it now, I just found:

http://cgi.ebay.ie/1-YEAR-ART-SPORTS-DIGITAL-ARABESQUE-SATELLITE-CARD_W0QQitemZ5853415114QQcategoryZ60837QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Just type art sport in to ebay.ie and more will come up.

But you will need a viacess cam and a receiver that accepts cams.

I will leave the FAQ at that. This is a football board after all and to go into more detail might mean moving off topic. You can of course get a lot more than Premier League with a simple setup. Some folk watch La Liga, Ligue1, Bundesliga, SerieA etc.,. . International football is widely and freely available too. Hope it helps. Please feel free to pm if you have any questions. Enjoy.
