Viasat Sweden / EPL

[blue boy]

Hoping someone knows the answer to this.

You may have noticed that Viasat Sweden are advertising that they will be showing all 380 EPL games next season if you subscribe to the full HD card, I am quite prepared to buy this card on behalf of our local social club but I am concerned that Sirius 4 will show it on the Nordic only beam, is this a possibility?

I have a Dreambox 800 / Fraccaro 85cm dish at home and I am able to scan Sirius 4 fine and I get great reception but I don?t get any HD channels, this makes me think that we can only pick up the Pan European Beam.

I have looked at the Sirius website SIRIUS 4 | SES SIRIUS and it says they have 20 transponders on the Nordic Beam and 20 transponders on the European Beam, does anyone know if they how they will transmit the EPL.

Thanks

With the price the card has jumped in price i would have a good guess that it will be on the European Beam as from just over ?450 in feb now to over a grand an extra couple hundred get skyIT sub

Sky Italia is very good, we have had the Sport and Calcio package for the past 3 seasons but they still don't show all 3pm Saturday games or some Sunday games as Serie A is played on a Sunday,

Viasat Sweden will transmit all 380 games live if you have the HD subscription.

It will have to be the UK beam because they havethe rights from canal+ who used to transmit for europe.

Sorry Jackpot but Canal + lost the rights to Medge Consulting see below. Only Viasat Sweden are showing all 380 games.


Following the loss of the english premier league rights from canal plus in the nordic region. Medge Consulting who have won three year rights has sold on the rights on a territory basis.
