    It was posted on his site, lasted less than 2 mins and the user got banned.

    I would think if you took out the people that are only on that site for the gift there would be nobody left but mods.

    Would I be right in thinking that by "illegal receiver" they're referring to Spider-box?

    I'm assuming so, but for it to be illegal it would have to have the 'software' already on the box that can be used to view tv illegally. Otherwise, like most satellite receivers they are just provided with FTA software only.

    Can always fall back on the amazing spiderbox with "free gift" I wonder how the providers and the relevant authorities are looking on at the free gift....

    No English on Sky DE's EPL matches today. Either a technical problem or they've dropped it too.

    Just been thinking about next Season (2011/2012), was wondering if I should stick with Cyfra+ & Al Jazeera, or would Tring be a better option?

    Tring are supposed to be getting some HD channels but when that will happen is anyones guess.

    Its a bit early to be deciding on next seasons subs ,alot can happen over the summer.
    I'd hold off on any decisions until the start of August.

    wow - it seems canal plus are buying tring - before 2012 and the new hd channles will now not start until october - when they get their 2nd transponder!

    Cheers :D

    Wonder is it true though!

    Might actually pump some money into them if they do!

    Eutelsat W3C is due for launch in July so that should solve alot of the problems on 16e .
    Its set to replace the 3 satellites currently up there W2M,Sesat and Eurobird 16A.
    This will mean alot more transponders and higher power,a 60-70cm dish should suffice for Ireland as opposed to the 1-1.2m currently needed for some of the weaker transponders on 16e.
    Hopefully W3C makes its position in orbit unlike W3B which went awol :D

    I just can't see this being the case. If anything I suspect the new bird will bring tighter beams over these countries. I guess that is why Tring got the EPL. The launch failed last year but I reckon they committed to broadcasting only within their territory when the new bird is up,. I do hope I am wrong though.

    You are wrong :D
    The proposed beams for the ill fated W3B,I think W3C will be the same
    http://www.satbeams.com/satellites?norad=37206
    Very strong beam covering central Europe.

    Happy days!

    Does this really mean that Tring will be available with a 60cm dish?

    I very much doubt that the Premier League and Sky will allow a broadcaster that broadcasts all the 3pms live on a Saturday to be receivable in the UK and Ireland with a 60cm dish. It will probably be a tight beam.

    Hummmm...."Predicted" is a vital word on that page. I just can't the PL allowing 3pm games in the UK so easily. In fact, I know they won't!!

    They have absolutely no say in where the beams from a satellite will go. If they aren't happy with where Tring can be picked up, then they just won't renew Tring's contract.

    Exactly .
    Sky and the FA may be powerful but to think that they would be allowed to dictate to Eutelsat is preposterous and laughable.

    I wasn't for a second trying to suggest that the PL have any rights over where a channel is broadcast. But I am certain they will just cancel the contract, as opposed to not renew it, if the channel is beamed into the UK with ease. It is not unprecedented and has happened before.

    Like I said, I really hope I am wrong as I would take Tring in HD over the multi cards I have at the moment. I just can't see it happening!

    I agree. Although I don't see where anyone suggested that the Premier League (It's not the FA) or SKY (what would Sky have to do with - they just bid for PL rights????) would be allowed to do it??:confused::confused:

    BSkyB are the biggest paymasters of the Premier League ,they have massive influence and power .
    It is Sky exerting pressure to crack down on foreign tv right holders .
    BSKY have a cartel on commercial customers in the UK and Ireland and can basically charge what they like.
    Its in their best interest to maintain this situation which is threatened by the tv without frontiers directive and the upcoming Murphy European ruling.
    They most certainly tell the Premier League what to do .
