Watch Rugby

$ausage$

Hey folks,

Got a 1.2m motor setup and was wondering if anyone can suggest the best sats/channels for rugby, basicaly any rugby anywhere plus the usual magners/celtic league heiny cup etc. I have a digialrb card but have seen no rugby yet plus signal is shockly poor.

Cheers

Nowso

S4C and BBC2wales do Magners league

$ausage$

yeh but i cant get them on my sat where are they?

tomslick

S4C and BCC2Wales are on 28east. I don't remember ever seeing a rugby match on Digialb before. For Rugby, French TV on 19east is king with a Canal+ sub.

$ausage$

I watched the lions on super sports thats what i have

Nowso

You will find S4C AND BBC They show a lot of rugby mainly the welsh regions games and s4c do other welsh games also

I should have given you the link for feeds. Worth checking whenever there is a game on. Times are CET one hour ahead of us.

The Supersport on 36 is not available in Ireland. It is for South Africa and is only beamed there. The biggest problem with feeds is they only usually found AFTER the event has started. This is unreliable for your rugby club.

dxhound2005

That feed was reported at 3.36pm and there was one reported on 45 East at 3.05pm. Game started at 4pm. There are people out there who spend all their time finding feeds and since broadcasters have to set up links etc they can be found in plently of time. There are lots of other souces for feeds eg Yahoo Feedhunters group and Feeds Mechanic.

OK for a hobbyist or enthusist at home. Not for a public place like a Rugby club. They need FTA channels and Subscriptions with a professional setup.

I'd not want to upset a room full of drinking current and ex-rugby players.

dxhound2005

Sausages never said anything about a rugby club.

You haven't been paying attention.

It could also be previous posts or deleted posts.

Hey

I want to know if anyone has got to see super sports on 36E.
I want to get a official card and all its just that I want to know if anyone has got it or used it. I want it mainly for rugby and it seams to have all of the games when i look at the listings.

Cheers

watty

most of the beams on 36E can't be received here.
http://www.lyngsat.com/36east.html

The one that can http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/sesat_fixed.html needs at least a 1.2m dish for reliable reception

Supersport seems to be part of Multichoice Africa, on this beam http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/sesat_saf.html
Not receivable within 5000km of here probably.

watty

DO check lyngsat footprint/beam for the channel you are interested in.

You need to subtract about 3db to 6dB from published maps to cope with Irish Rain and Satellite Operator optimism when calculating dish size.

The suggested Dishes Sizes are for clear skies, good dish, full uplink/transponder power, full solar/battery capacity and an "average" FEC, bandwidth etc.


With age the power is less.
Some or many transponders may be operating at lower power as it's cheaper for Uplink and cheaper for transponder rental.

Feeds may need 6dB to 12dB more as the broadcasters may have a 4.8m dish for feed reception! They will use minimum power to reduce cost and ability for DTH reception. Feeds also tend to be 7/8 as dish size isn't an issue.

Lower FEC needs a bigger dish (i.e. 7/8 rather than 1/2)
higher Symbol rate needs a bigger dish (40,000ksys/s rather than 1,500 ksys/s)

$ausage$

God dam it that sucks!

There so good too I would easly pay for a sub! maybe they relay on another sat?! I will have to see, you never know.....:)

Manc-Red

Thats a great package, was down there 2 years ago & I must say it was impressive.

I think it can be picked up here on KU-band with a dish the same size as Old Trafford.

Not a hope - pity

$ausage$

I just got a text from a mate who says they relay their coverage to Fox AZ any one know what sat thats on or if we can get it?

If its Fox Arizona in the US theres no chance - If its Fox Australia theres also no hope.

Supersports Greece (nova) on 13e shows a fair bit of Rugby

$ausage$

Yeh, I hear that... so disapointed in this whole sat stuff now lol

I had visions of all sorts of sports from everywhere.

Ah well pig racing will just have to do

Football is the main sport out there, Rugby is only carried on a handful of providers regularly across the globe.

Pity because I enjoy it myself

Yeh shame... ill just have to go and get sly Sky then

who got setantas rights for the ruggers now they have gone?

watty

Free Tractor pulling etc on DSF @ 19E

Countries interested in Rugby in Europe:
Italy, France, UK, Ireland. All PayTV apart from some BBC, RTE (via aerial) and S4C~digidol. Maybe the odd ITV/C4/Five

Elsewhere
S.A. : No reception north of equator probably
N.Z. : Drill a hole through the planet?

Virtually all rugby will be on 28.2E or TV aerial and what ever isn't free is on Sky Sports. It's the only reason my Dad has ever subscribed to Sky or watched Welsh TV on Satellite.

You will get very occasional feeds of European teams away, such as recent S.A. tour feeds on 10E. Nothing you could plan on.

There is far less free Football, proportionally, but many more countries are interested in Football, so more choice of pay TV packages for expensive stuff and more free matches of teams you never heard of on Turkish, Arabic, German etc TV you can get here.
Canal+ is big in France and probably does most of the Rugby & Football.
Sky is big in Italy and Ireland/UK and ties up most of important football/Rugby.
Who else in Europe is interested in Rugby?

YOu can't get ANY USA/NorthAmerican TV here, other than feeds or Europe versions of USA payTV.
Anyway they hardly know what Rugby or Football is. They have adverts interspersed with Rounders, Basketball or guys running around in Starwars plastic armour (Why is it the "World Series"?). The only real sport they play is Icehockey to make the Canadians feel good

$ausage$

Jeese Watty that was a bit of a rant!

but ye I hear ya. Think I will have to bite the bullet and get a sky sub

"N.Z. : Drill a hole through the planet?"

LOL:D

tbaymusicman

Guys eurosports does lots of french rugby how come no one has stated that??

$ausage$

Yehhhhhhhh but like you want HC and ML really.

French is ok to see Carter get dic*ked on

tbaymusicman

Yeah true enough has anyone watched any of the italy league(super 10) b4 it changed?Few lads i worked with(sparks) worked in italy said the rugby was god to watch are there going to be just 2 italian teams now and joining the ML like the welsh did?

sorry for going off thread

$ausage$

I hear it is comming along well plus yeh 2 teams have entered the CL I think so they might be shown with the rights in all. Did some one answer my question about Setanta's rights?

you'd be amazed how often we are asked about satellites on the other hemisphere beyond 80E and 90W. Simply physically the Earth in the way Realistically about 68E to 78W is practical on a hill top with a monster dish. Even then the beam has to point this way.

ITV 4 have English Rugby Premiership highlights each Sunday evening (repeated on ITV1 later). C4 haven't shown rugby for a few years now and same goes with Five - both had their own English premiership highlights programmnes in the past. Good news with ML is that BBC2W and S4C will be showing quite a lot of games and are listed as host broadcaster for some games in Ireland/Scotland as well as Wales. If you want FTA rugby and don't subscribe to Setanta Ireland this is good news.

so setanta ireland are still going?

so i could get a card off them for rugby. hummmm

I think it simply all boils down to if they can win the rights for the EPL 3pm games for the 3 seasons after this upcoming season is over...

Its the main draw by a running mile

watty

High to very high over the next year or so. I can't see a convincing Business Plan.

This feed is a very strong 85% signal in Dundalk on 45 East. Game scheduled to start 6pm but massive stadium nearly empty.

dxhound2005

Game over. Frequency now has Hilary Clinton making a speech in Johannesburg.

Three games on Saturday so there is every chance of a feed especially South Africa v Australia most likely on 45 and/or 10 East. Will be listed on the Satelliweb site.

I'm looking into this aswell myself for this season. Sky rule the roost for rugby coverage, but you could like you might still be able to pick up a number of games.

For European Cup, how about picking up a French TNTSAT box for €112?
http://www.surpin.fr/catalogue/index.html?p2316.html
Saw a thread on boards to say there are shipping outside of France now.

The ERC site says these french channels will be showing:
"One live game on Saturday and one live game on Sunday on the terrestrial France 2 channel. One additionnal European Challenge Cup game is also broadcasted on France 4......" and on Canal+ (which is a listed channel on that TNTSAT package but someone might confirm this) "up to three live games each Heineken Cup weekend with matches being shown on the premium Canal +, Canal + Sport and on Sports +. "

ERC listings and game broadcasters here:
http://www.ercrugby.com/eng/275_73.php

Is France 2 available on 5w as FTA? 8 games listed here as being broadcased by them. If so the box above would only be needed for the Canal+ games:
http://www.ercrugby.com/eng/12_12877.php

Full delayed coverage of the Irish games on RTE and highlights on SC4.

In terms of Magners league, BBCw and SC4 (both FTA) showing a lot all of the games. Announcement still be to made on who the Scottish broadcaster will be.

Setanta is the only Irish broadcaster. The only non Sky ways I know to get Setanta are NTL (digital or analogue), or maybe on Eircom broadband if you are a subscriber?

Magners listings and game broadcasters are available here:

anyone know about the possiblity of getting Hellas SuperSport? just taking a quick look, it seems to be on a "Nova" package on 13east and would work out expensive.

thread on digital spy:
Hellas SuperSport has great Rugby coverage. They show all of the Super 14 games (mainly due to SuperSport ZA) plus some Heineken Cup games, all with English commentary"
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=22246630&postcount=32

$ausage$

This sounds exactly like what i wanted supersport za is amazing! shows every thing rugby wise!

Hope this works out to be true!!!

Nova listings here:
http://www.nova.gr/eng

Card available here:
http://www.replinghamprofessionals.co.uk/viewing_cards.html

I've filled in the contact page on Nova to ask if they carry the Heineken Cup games live. I'll let you know what they come back with.

$ausage$

Good lad! never though of doing that!

Dam Nova be expensive!!!! just wish sly IT where cheeper too! if they where the same or just a bit more than uk sly we would be sorted!!!
