You need to move the dish to the correct satellite either by hand or you need to get a motrised set up for your best results, then a subscription for those satellites to watch footy....... and you need the correct dish size as i am not sure if a standard sly dish can pull in the signal but i am sure some one will let you know.

or have a look here Required Dish Size Guide

No point in putting long/lat in box unless you are using USALS with a motor I"d leave well alone if your happy with what you have. then once you have read up a bit more leave the sky dish where it is and put an 80/100cm dish up on a motor I"m not into footy but believe 3pm kick offs can be had and others will advise on that.

Yeah i get the 3pm footy on HELLASAT satellite at 39 EAST using the BULSAT keys. I have a motorized 1metre dish. I believe that you will need a dish at least 80cm or more to receive this satellite. If you want to move the dish manually then this satellite is found not far from the SKY one. To go from SKY at 28 EAST to HELLAS SAT the dish will need to be moved to the left but make sure you have a valid channel or frequency when looking for HELLASAT. As already mentioned you may be better off to get a motor as it will give you more satellites. Regards.

ok but whats the bull sat keys mean?

[andiewill]

Bullsat - Satellite service re:- Astra 28.2 is where sly is located.
Key's - set of numbers you input into the box to open channles. (Not much is open nowadays via Key's).

bulsat is bulgarian tv ( or the balkans anyway ) on 39e hellassat , not 28.2 east astra 2/eurobird where sly comes from

this is 11 degrees or so away from where a sky dish points towards

get a motorised dish system as mentioned earlier to do the job properly

A missunderstanding i was using sly on 28.2 as an example for ease of explanation about satellites and their provider services.

Hi. What exactly are you trying to find?. You start by asking about football then you say its a misunderstanding and want to know about how satellite and providers work. Fair enough but please be clear as to what info you require. That way people will be able to point you in the right direction. Regards.
