Guide to Premiership Football on satellite

Astra 1 at 19.2° East should be booming in for you too.

Thanks! 19.2 is coming in fine. In order of strength, I have 28.5/ 19.2 / 13.0 with nothing apart from them 3. Hotbird breaks up on some transponders, Cyfra was fine last night, a bit jumpy today. Should I stick with what I have or would I benefit from some tweaking of the dish at the risk of losing it all?! It took six hours to get this far!

hi, i'm sorry i don't know anything about these satellites was just wondering could somebody please help me.I have sky but espn and setanta are to dear to watch the premier league games i see you guys all talking about different satellite and was just wondering what's the best to watch the premier league games and where can i buy one of these sorry to sound so stupid but i don't know anything about these satellites at all.

If you are looking for a cheap option then you could dump your Sky Sports sub and buy a Cyfra card from http://www.satsklep.pl/index.php?s=produkty&id_kat=79&producent=0&lang=eng

The multi-packet card is cheap and will show about 160 games this season as far as I know. No english commentary though.

There is also a Tring plus card which has much for footie including about four saturday 3pm games.

there hasnt been too many games on tring with english commentary either and picture quality isnt great

The PQ is so bad on a 47" LCD you cannot sometimes even make out the score icon!

Have to admit i watched the Spanish footie on digitalb last night, the PQ seems a lot better than it was many years ago.

Did anyone have the Villa Everton game on Cyfra yesterday? I had Sport 1, but Sport 2 wasn't coming on for some reason. Is it a weaker transponder? I've noticed the HD stuff is terrible during the day but perfect at night.

Apparently there was a rescan of 13 east required.

Yep, I've got Cyfra+ and saw the game on Sport 2 - as snaps says maybe you need to do a recan.

BTW, checked Sport 3 on Saturday evening and they were showing the Villareal v Malaga LaLiga game live.

Yes its wise to keep an eye on sport 3 as programming isn't advertised for it and stuff pops up on it!

Just after looking at the @ls@t website and I copyed this from it. These are the matches "confirmed" for September. I might consider getting a Tring card around Christmas if it keeps up.

TRING PLUS FOOTY.

ís there any good sites for finding out the game listing for Cyfra?

Did anyone have problems with the picture quality for the united v liverpool match today on Cyfra. For me the picture looked quite out of focus at times. Could have been my tv playing up so just need to know if anyone else thought the same?

I only managed to get to the TV for the 2nd half and that was perfect for me (picture quality and the result ) on Cyfra

lads heads up

the tring card is now 189 pounds which is 225 euro

they must be selling badly or somthing

I was really tempted at one stage to get one but im happy with my digitalB card

My HD Cyfra is awful at the moment, for example, I get half the sports channel and half the movies coming in on the sports channel at the same time. Is the transponder just useless?

????? Half of what? That post makes no sense unless im missing something?

Sorry folks, I knew I didn't make any sense!

If I turn on the C+ HD Movie Channel, the picture is breaking up badly but also coming through on screen I can see bits of a picture from the sports channel as well as the movie channel. I get a mish mash of audio too. it's like the two channels are fighting for the same slot. I'll post a screenshot later on if this still sounds mad! I'm using latest catseye settings on vix image for my vu plus duo. I've also rescanned the transponder.
I don't have any issues with the Cyfra SD channels.
