I currently have a 80cm dish pointing at 4.8e, what's the best satellite to use for a wide choice of football? I'm looking for as much as possible... Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, MLS and any other major leagues.

Yes, probably Hotbird is number 1 for variety of leagues.Comment

The best bet nowadays for getting the footy is just to go motorised to help deal with what the EPl are doing with the 3pms & whatever else they've got up their sleeve etc.. so no matter where your team is on you can get to it- some if it free.
otherwise ... atm... another vote for 13e if it has to be fixed.Comment

How much would it cost to get a motor installed on my current dish?Last edited by footyaddict; 1 April, 2012, 17:55.Comment

It's not usually just the cost of the motor at c. ?45, it depends if it needs new brackets too - motorised usually need better brackets anyway to get the most out of them accuracy wise, deal with strong winds & clear walls as the dish moves etc... plus it should see the whole visible arc & loads of satellites rather than just one satellite so might need moving or even going long pole over gutter/ roof etc.. which needs even better brackets & pole to do well or you just end up with a flag pole waving in the wind on aerial brackets- there's a lot like that.
But if it's just a used 80 & most 80s are under 80 so you won't get the weak stuff too well if at all- you could get away with a cheapo motor & less than perfect brackets just to get at several sats just for footy & forget trying to get the full arc for now.. then you could move between a few sats like 1w 4.8e 13e 16e 19.2e etc.. possibly from where it is already.
If you did get a cheapo motor though & later wanted to get a better / bigger dish you might need another motor.
Motor installs do vary drastically from real crap to real pro installs even for the same size dish, like anything else.Comment
