[Darso]

I'm looking to install a new dish. I need to know what size of dish I need so I can pick up 5e or 4.8 e from here in Northern Ireland. I'm new to all this and the tp are.

Hi Darso, Its an easy lock for me on a 1mtr dish.

You will also need a Viasat Norway subscription - and good luck finding one of those at a reasonable price unless you have friends living out there.

Much would they be?

 

[Analoguesat]

Expensive - and pretty rare to find as well.

Is there no fta on any satellite out there that gets prem football.

your best bet is feeds either fta/biss/softcam with channels like tv zimbo,programme national,duhok/diema/novasports. you can get games most weekends if you put the work in thanks to the darkforces but official routes are unfortunatly very expensive

Will it be ok to position dish here or are the houses in the way. South is right through the gap. And dish will be going up on garage.

Put your post code below Darso, then drag the x to were you would like to put the dish then choose different sats and see if you have a good line of sight, the house over the road is not a problem but yours and next door could be.

Might get away with it for the satellites I'm looking. The size of dish is now the next issue.

But, if you have possibility to install big dish, than go this way.

Northern Ireland is very hit and miss for Astra 4A channels. We've had people here with a 1.8m Channel Master not getting anything. Depends where you are in NI.

Not to far from belfast so on the eastern side. Was thinking of a 1.2 mtr to keep her indoors happy.....

We normally find one game fta most Saturdays.

They almost certainly wont last indefinitely so make the most of them. TV Zimbo Angola has a reasonably picture quality.

If you are hoping for multiple choices of 3pms you wont get it on the European pay services - FAPL have put a stop to it in the last 3-4 months. Most providers now show the same 3pm game.


However streams are available - all illegal of course, and subject to sudden disappearance but I know of folks who watch their preferred games every week this way (Not me btw - our internet is far too slow & anyway I dont really care for Prem games! )

We'll got this 1.2 metre of a guy in Belfast who is moving to London so happy days. £60 and it came with motor bracket and a quad sky LNB but I will use the black ultra I got. So happy enough and hope it does the job!!

Great stuff, please keep us informed of your progress

 

[Captain Jack]

Are you sure that's a 1.2m? Looks like a 1m to me...

 

[wod]

I was thinking the same, a 1.2 would be larger.

 

[Darso]

It'll do what I need it for.
