    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 .

    That's marvelous.

    Still, like I said. I don't see where anyone said that the PL would have a say on where the beams go?

    The reason you outline above is the very reason why I think Tring will be forced to tight-beam their transmissions or risk loosing the rights.

    You said
    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!!
    By mentioning "Predicted" you were directly referring to the footprint of the satellite
    The reason you outline above is the very reason why I think Tring will be forced to tight-beam their transmissions or risk loosing the rights.
    And how exactly will they tight beam the signal ?
    Will Eutelsat create a specific footprint just for Tring ? Have you any idea how expensive and difficult that is ?

    Its in Eutelsats best interests to have as large a footprint as possible and the W3C satellite has huge footprints.
    The "Predicted" footprint will not be influenced by the FA.

    As you rightly say the FA will more than likely withdraw Trings rights if its easily receivable in thew UK on a 60cm dish.
    Tring are paying buttons for the rights as Albania is one of the poorest countries in Europe .

    Tring won't have much more say in the beam transmissions of the satellite than the PL has. They lease space, they are nowhere near important enough to be able to dictate specifications to the satellite owners.

    Jaysus - this is getting needlessly aggressive!

    Anyway, it's not difficult at all, depending on the downlink Tring request or are assigned to. Providers can and do and have requested transponder leases based on footprint.

    Anyhoo - like I keep saying, I really, really hope I am wrong. We can sh1te on here all year but we're never going to know until the satellite goes live. By the way, I was highlighting the word PREDICTED because that is all it is. Nobody, not me or you, knows the true footprint and until we do nobody has an argument. All I was doing doing was giving my predication, which you seemed to jump down my throat about yet someone else's predication is OK? Weird.

    I dont mean to be aggressive,sorry if I came across in that manner,I have enjoyed reading your posts over the years .
    I will say no more on the matter,we will wait until July when W3C launches and the football rights are finalised as its all speculation at the moment.

    What has that link got to do with receiving the Premier League via satellite?

    Eutelsat W3C is due for launch in July so that should solve a lot of the problems on 16e .

    Just checked http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/upcoming-launches.html

    W3C
    - is scheduled for launch in third quarter 2011. It will be equipped with 56 transponders..... 56 Ku & 3 Ka transponders.
    W3C will be located at 16 degrees East, where it will continue to support the development of digital TV in Central and Eastern Europe and French-speaking Indian Ocean Islands, as well as open new resources for data services in Africa. :confused:

    Trying to justify the cost of the initial investment. With the equipment and Cyfra card ill get my share of footy. What else do I get? Any decent non sports channels?

    Depends on the card. Most people are just interested in the sports part. The most common card purchased is this one for that reason.

    Satsklep haven't updated their channel list yet, so I think you'll actually get Canal+ (HD + SD), Canal+ Film (HD + SD), Canal Sport (HD + SD), Canal+ Weekend and Canal Gol.

    The non HD channels are supposed to go HD in the autumn.

    Canal+ and Canal Film show non-sport stuff...a bit like E4 and Film4. If it's an english language production, you'll generally get english audio. You can see the schedule here. So "A-team" = english audio.."Girl with the Dragon Tatoo"..brush up on your polish or swedish! Other cards may get you more non-sport channels if thats what you're after, but you'll get more answers (from people who know more!) if you start a dedicated thread.

    Also as far as I know, the signal for Abu Dhabi cannot be got in Ireland unless u have a huge huge dish

    Regards

    Iba


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭glic83


    would you even get Abu Dhabi sports here with a 2.4m dish ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,422 ✭✭✭Doodee


    Thinking of making the switch from Cyfra+ to Tring. Have an Argus Mini + cams for Cyfra+, will I need to reflash?
    Also, where is my best bet to find a sub?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭sob1467


    I think that tvcorner is the cheapest site to buy a tring subscription.

    Just to note,
    After purchase, Tvcorner will request a further 110 for the upgrade to view the 3pm games.

    Really?

    Don't see it mentioned on the site, and the "Tring + FULL" wording is misleading if that's the case.

    Took a nosy on Alsat, do they not sell Tring or DigitAlb cards anymore?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 456 ✭✭brian_gall85


    Has anyone used this company for Tring cards? http://tring-tv.co.uk/default.aspx I'm led to believe they're based in the south of England.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭Dessiemc27


    Could anybody give me a solution to a problem. Had to remove sky from a mates pub because it is far too expensive to keep.

    Does any of the mentioned "foreign" sports channels offer other sports apart from live premiership football.

    I was looking for Golf and Darts also apart from the Soccer.

    Was thinking of getting tring in. Does anybody out there have it ? and is it just soccer or do they cover a wide range of sports?

    No broadband in the area so internet connections are out.

    Also does Tring broadcast the coverage in English?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭excollier


    Try looking up bradcasters like RTL Deutschland on 19.2e they have some FTA sport occasionally.
    Look at Lyngsat.com for various satellite/ broadcaster options. It's all there.

    Sport1 is FTA on 19 east! Used be DSF!

    Show's a lot of Darts (PDC)..

    As for horse racing :S...

    I've seen the big meetings like Ascot and Aintree on Canal+ and Digital + too...

    BBC and Channel 4 have most of the English Meetings the weekends, but you won't really get much Irish on anything except Attheraces!...

    Tring mainly show football, with English commentary on it!
