New to motorised dish - football

[iansat]

I currently have a Sky digibox, an old mesh dish (70x60cm) and a universal lnb which allows me to watch FTA channels.

I would like to view english premiership football and understand that the best way to do this is via a motorised dish.

Please would somebody give me an overview of the equipment I would need and/or links to useful explanations and/or recommendations.

I live in Switzerland (no jokes about Swiss referees please!) and not sure if this affects the size of dish needed or whether I could use my existing dish/lnb.

Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks.

Welcome iansat, I don't think the Sky digibox is of any use (alright for Sky, sh*t for everything else). Get yourself a digital fta receiver (will not cost much).
Check www.kingofsat.net/en for the best satellites, try Jimbo's Football & Sports section on the forum for the channels and any other informantion you need.
And as for Swiss referee's yes they are a joke, so I will say nothing.

Rob - Thanks for the tips.

Would I be able to use my existing cable, lnb, dish, if I get a new receiver and a motor for the dish? Anything else I need?

The best site for FTA footy is this one : http://www.knplogic.co.uk/sport/ BUT you will need a motorised system

Thanks waverider. The website should be useful when the season starts.

Do you know the answer to my last 2 questions to Rob?

Cable should be fine, providing it is double screened and in good condition, you may consider looking at different CAMs and a card and programmer, but the motor would be a good start.

Thanks Rolf. I guess I just need to buy a receiver and motor and start experimenting. I will ask about your other suggestions at the shop.
