3pm Kick offs - Eutelsat 7

[robbie9897]

Hi All,

I'm new to this but I'm interesting in getting the 3pm Kick off's which I now believe have been moved to Eutelsat 7 - 7.3W - Would a dish size of 1 Meter be sufficient as My location is North Wales?

Thanks,

Taken from a sticky above:

Nilesat-101 & 102 ------------------7 ---------120 to 150cm {for vertical transponder's} for Horizontal Tp's 240cm + but no reliable reception possible in the UK as we are well outside the service area for this satellite,best reception is on the South coast of the UK, North of Birmingham reception drops off considerably due to the curvature of the earth,
AtlanticBird-4 ----------------------7 west No reception possible in the UK,

Hi. You can find 3pm kickoffs on many satellites not just 7 west. Most of them of course you have to pay for. You best bet is the BULSAT channels Diema and Nova Sports on 39 east whcih are opened with latest keys. In London with a 1m dish 7 west is easily picked up with around 400 channels at the moment.(including JSC sports etc).

Regards.

Many Thanks for the replys,

Finding lots of use full info on here - defo going to need a bigger dish but also debating between a Dreambox 800 and Vu+ - what would your recommendation be when using with a motorised dish?

if you are buying a linux box then buy a genuine vu - no question (DMM havent made the 800 for several years anyway)

Having had both .Vu hands down

Another vote for vu+. Solo2 and duo2 are awesome.

[robbie9897]

Vu+ Solo it is, any recommendations where to purchase a genuine box as the ones on Ebay seem to be all clones?
Also what price should I be looking at paying for one?

check goldwafers for genuine boxes with prices (my genuine duo came from there)

World-of-satellite is another good trustworthy supplier.
Can also get a ?5 discount if you join their forum and ask for a discount code.

That's Great - your help has been appreciated

If we were looking at streaming the footy for the 3pm games with al jazeera - is there any media players which once setup are easy to use for users which very good with computers?
