Some advice needed

[outlawz]

Having just moved over from the world of cable I am looking for a setup for the following to watch as many Barclays Premier league games as poss next season.

I am not too interested in this c/s stuff and not worried about all the sky channels though i wouldnt say no if someone has some advice on the disney channel (all the kids watch)

I have looked into the whole motorised dish and box just looking on some recommendations I should be going for a 1m dish at minimum just dont know whether to go for a technomate hd box or a linux driven one

Obviously i know where you can stream all the games from but as we all know streams can be hit and miss even on my 50mb line

What my concern is for premier league games i am looking to solve the streaming issue but concerned n3 might be an issue moving forward as thats what I have been reading is it worth me shelling out ?200+ for this purpose?

If there are plenty of FTA channels that have these games then I am sure it maybe worth my time ?

Thanks in Advance

You wont get much epl at all without cs

[Manic01]

You need to buy a card. All games sky/espn and extra midweek games plus 2 3pm games on sat for less than ?200 per year.
This is bulsat on 39e.
No English audio.

[outlawz]

hardly seems worth all that

Cheers Anyway

Depends if you want 3pm footy etc. It's always your own choice.

[firestorm]

if you are looking for football it may be worth waiting until closer to the beginning of the new season before making a purches as the rights for showing ELP change from year to year so a provider that shows fooball this season may not have it at the beging of next season

[Manic01]

All providers have been confirmed except Russia and Albania.

[firestorm]

Tring the Albania provider is rumered to have the ELP right for next season.But i would wait till closer to the begining of next season before buying a card as nothing is confirmed yet.
this is still one of the cheapest cards to buy but no doubt the price will rise if they get ELP

[Manic01]

Exisiting tring cards will not receiver the proposed 2 new sports channels.
Also the audio on there for footy at the moment is a joke. Dual audio at the same time quite often.
Bulsat on 39e has epl for next 3 years and is less than ?200.

[outlawz]

so would that get you every game thats a 3pm kick off for example across many channels that they may push out

[firestorm]

the only package that get you every game is showtime 7w but you would need a 1.8m dish to stand a chance of picking it up.I had the tring card for couple of months now and must say how much i enjoy the Albania folk channel

[outlawz]

ive seen the price of that as well

[Manic01]

Showtime has lost the rights to epl.
Abu Dhabi tv has them, theya lso own Man City

I was Googling Bulsat cards, they are cheap but I read all people bought these cads recently say the card only works in the Bulsat box i.e card & box are paired. This card uses Iredoto 2 or Bulcrypt

[outlawz]

them lot hey well some arabs may well own my club soon

I was thinking is there any kind of webstreaming box (not a pc) that will do a similar job to what I am after

I am trying to make it idiot prrof for the misses
