    Premiership Football is available worldwide on TV.
    I recently watched it on network TV in Canada.
    The Premier League website lists the channels that have the rights.
    Many of these channels broadcast on satellite.
    It's a bit long winded, but essentially pick the country you want.
    Premier League TV channels

    To see listings of specific games you should use LJ's website.
    it really is the best.

    Go straight to UK/Irish section.

    many people want to get more Premiership football at home.
    Here's an overview to how.
    FAQS

    Q: What Premiership Football channels can I get on my SKY box ?
    A: Sky Sports , Premiership Plus, Setanta Ireland , RTE


    Q: So what was that channel they had in the pub showing the match last Saturday ?
    A: Most likely ART but possible something else


    Q: Can I get ART on my Sky Digibox ?
    A: No. The Sky dish is pointed at a different satellite. It also uses a diferent encryption system.


    Q: What's the Norwegian and Greek channels that used be in my pub showing the match ?
    A: Canal+ Scandinavia and NOVA. Both unlikely to be there now as ART is much cheaper.


    Q: Is ART the cheapest?
    A: No. The Albanian channel Digit Alb seems to be.


    Q: How many football channels on the ART card?
    A: 4


    Q: Do these channels, in particular ART, have English commentary?
    A: Normally yes but occasionally when they don't the rumours abound that Sky are forcing them to broadcast in their own language for one reason or another.


    Q: What equipment do I need ?
    A: An 80cm dish (slightly bigger than a Sky dish at 60cm) pointed at the Hotbird satellite at 13 degrees east.
    A satellite receiver.
    A viewing card.


    Q: can I use my cheap LIDL satellite kit?
    A: No. The dish is too small at 57cm and the receiver cannot take a viewing card.


    Q: How much does it cost?
    A: basic equipment should run about €250.
    card subscriptions in or about €20 per month.


    Q: How does the card subscription work?
    A: You buy it off-the-shelf in a 3, 6 or 12 month format. It counts down to expiry once you insert it in your receiver.


    Q: My mate gets free Premiership football. How does he do it?
    A: Read the rules. We don't discuss hacking here.


    Q: Does any channel show free to air Premiership football ?
    A: Yes. Channel 8 Turkey sometimes. It broadcasts on the Turksat satellite at 42 degrees east. get a motorised dish if you want this one. you could also try looking for a 'feed'. These are signals used by broadcasters to send matches to each other. Eutelsat at 16 degrees east usually has the most football feeds.


    Q: What channel shows Celtic home SPL games?
    A: Polsat Sport on the Hotbird satellite. it's an expensive card to buy. do a google. Sky Italy have recently started showing some too.

    new 12 month ART sport blue cards can be had for 99 pound which as far as I can tell is the cheapest


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,417 ✭✭✭✭watty


    Good FAQ. A copy in the ICDGopedia?

    Also 15W telstar sometimes has match feeds.

    Non-football sport such as USA PGA, NHL and NFL feeds are on some satellites, often on a Sunday evening.

    An 80cm dish will work for feeds, but often they are 7/8 FEC or lower power meaning a 1.1m dish is a lot better. Especially if it rains.

    yes. why not. thanks for the kind remark.

    my post on the soccer forum in the same vein is a bit more comprehensive
    if you want to use that one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 795 ✭✭✭johnnyboy4711


    looking for a complete system from scratch,so i can watch footie and possibly
    super 14 rugby plus movies!
    The locating of the card seems to be the problem for me!
    thanx

    do a google for ART Viewing Card or check the adverts in What Satellite magazine.

    there's tons of places selling them.

    does art show live serie a matches?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,115 ✭✭✭Pal

    NO Serie A

    on another note,
    interestingly they showed a Celtic home SPL game last night.
    good news for Celtic fans as the other channel Polsat is prohibitively hard to get.

    I have an 80cm dish, using it to get fta+ftv with sky box atm.

    So if I purchase an ART 12 month card for 99pounds, and a new receiver, can i reuse the lnb i was using to get the fta for ART Sports?

    Can someone recommend a decent cheap receiver that would do the job?

    thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,368 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    I heard Art might be moving off Hotbird and will only be available on Nilesat, which is impossible to pick up unless you have a very large dish! Thats what puts me off getting the art card

    This rumour pops up around this time every year. I would not take much notice of it to be honest.

    Wont go wrong with a Technomate 1500ci super. Has a cam slot and also a built in card reader, which takes an art card no bother.

  • Registered Users Posts: 849 ✭✭✭mayto


    are you sure the technomate 1500ci has built in cam?,does not mention viacess cam on that ebay link.this german site is a way cheaper http://www.digi-sat-online.de/product_info.php?cPath=49_60&products_id=34 ,you can get reciever like that technomate which you can add hard disk to.viacess cam for 41 euro http://www.digi-sat-online.de/product_info.php?products_id=336.


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,022 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    Yes I am sure. It has a built in cam which can also be patched. I have this receiver and I have been using it for Art since the beginning of the season. Previous to this model I was using a technomate 5500 with a viaccess cam.

    Check out this forum for more information. You will need to register first and then go to the technomate section

    Your probably better off waiting until after the season ends at this stage.

    This link seems good value though


  • Registered Users Posts: 849 ✭✭✭mayto


    not a bad reciever then Aquos76 for that money.the art /al-jazeera sports card can be got here off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-Year-ART-SPORT-AL-JAZEERA-SPORT-arabesque-card_W0QQitemZ9707519436QQcategoryZ60837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
    for 206 euro incl. del.


  • Moderators, Regional South East Moderators Posts: 9,022 Mod ✭✭✭✭Aquos76


    Yeah its an excellent receiver. Also if you do purchase it make sure you also buy a null modem cable. This will allow you to patch it yourself.

    The link you referred to was the one I was trying to link to in my previous post. I didnt realise it was a link to microsoft. I have since fixed it.

    free footie on the net, great stuff!

    has flash user guides too, worth a look

    <snip>Naughty link<snip>
    The rights to the channels are sold by Satellite Companies and other corporations to Asian countries, these are then streamed directly over the internet meaning no copying is involved, you are simply viewing a gateway. The programs are all peer to peer, programs such as Limewire, Kazaa etc work in a similar way.

    The streams obviously were not intended for public viewing so are outside the remit of this Forum.
