Sky Italia

gussy81

Hi there all, i heard you can get sky italia here in irland. i mainly want to get it for the premier league games they show. is there anyone out there that has got a dish and decoder setup and can get english premier league games? if so can you tell me what i need to do and where i can pick one up and the cost of subscription. cheers

you'll need an 80 cm dish pointed at 13 eat (Hotbird) then you'll need the sky italia decoder and card. prices range from 600-1200e a year.

tvcorner.com is a good place to start.

bare in mind sky italia has only italian commentary for premier league games, in case that could be an issue

Premier

Tring could be a safer Better and cheaper alternative, Bearing in mind whats going on in the ECJ. english commentry available,

Don't they also show 2 or 3 Saturday 3pm matches? That is a lot more than what Sky UK show.

sky it shows 3 pm games on sat, generally 2 or 3

sky uk does not because of regulations in the uk
they generally show the only games at 1245 on sat and 5pm
and the one on sunday and monday

Watching a stream online is better quality than watching tring at times ... wouldn't waste my money on tring

Tring as you say is very poor, picture is really poor but in fairness they do show lots of Epl.

I agree, I have set up a few peoples Sky zone 2 dishes for Hotbird 13e and they work fine here in Donegal. Mostly for Polsat but also for Sky Italia and JSC from the same satellite. No break up or drop out problems reported.

If you mean your receiver has a twin tuner (2 inputs), then your LNB would need to have 2 (or more) outputs, then run two cables, one from each LNB output, to the 2 inputs on your receiver. Record one channel, watch another. Maybe even record 2 channels at the same time, I'm not familiar with the vu duo.

ya i think il just put up the second lnb and get a multi switch,prob be handier,i thought that twin tuner ment you can have two different inputs,each tuner has 4 ports also wat ever dats al about.cheers lads
