    Hi all

    Thanks to virginmedia terminating our mmds tv service, I now have a sale view/free to air combo box. We decided against a sky system as we don't .watch sky movies/sports or many of discovery// national geographic
    But we do watch Eurosport which is vital to me as I'm a big cycling skiing fan. So what are my options? I can use the Eurosport app on my phone and display it on the TV via Apple TV. But I'm wondering if I Can subscribe to Eurosport on its own? Note I'm not looking for any illegal streaming websites etc.

    You can't subscribe to the UK version of Eurosport on its own.

    But Eurosport is available free to air on 19˚E with a German soundtrack.

    You either need another dish or realign any existing one, but if you do realign you will lose sky.

    The app is a disaster and even the player on the website doesn't work. I've missed the whole last week of the giro because of it. It's not good enough when it's a pay service and their support is a joke.

    YET another reason I regret switching to Eir. 😢

    you could add a second LNB to the dish with a special bracket and a Diseqc switch would allow the receiver to choose which LNB to use. You'd also need F connectors and some cable to wire it up.
