Which satellite is best for sport

    Hi all, I have a sky dish and I'm currently getting all the freesat channels. A few years back I was messing about to see if I could get hotbird and I did. So I've recently bought a 2nd LNB and holder that attaches onto the original lnb.
    So my question is what other satellite will give me a lot of free sports channels (athletics, rugby and football mainly ) and any suggestions on how I should align it.
    My signal quality is very high for astra so I don't want to fiddle with that or change the dish to a bigger one.
    Thanks

    No satellite will give you many free sports channels.

    19e has eurosport deutschland and sport1 which are both free. Not too much football on either but they are both dedicated sports channels. Rtl, zdf and a few others do have some sport like boxing and football but not everyday.

    13e has rai sport 1 & 2 but they go encrypted for most big sports events. I don't think there's much else un-encrypted but I'm open to correction.

    26e has a good few channels that are free and do show sport but you would need a 1 - 1.2m dish as this satellite is aimed towards a middle eastern audience. There are also a good few entertainment channels on here and some have English audio with Arabic subtitles.

    There are a few other channels on other satellites but they are spread widely and a motorised or multi-lnb setup on a 1m+ dish would be the best way of getting them.

    If you are going to use the sky dish then 19e is your best bet in my opinion.
