Watching the Premeirship on a humax and other equipment?

yohomufc · 22-03-2003

hi

i want to purchase a satellite system where you can watch football for free instead of paying bloody sky £40 a month and you dont even see games at 3pm,
do any of you no what equipment (i read somewhere that you need a humax 5400) i need and any installers out there, i live in mid-kent.

TIA

Although it is possible to view some premiere league football, it is not long term guaranteed and probably will not be the selection that you get on Sky. Do a forum search on football and you will come up with some links to what is available where and under what encryption. Afraid I can't help too much more, as i am not a great football fan.

there's lots of premiere league footy even more than s*y show,you need a motor on yer dish tho to get it all.

**rolfw** · 24-03-2003

Thanks for that, bazzatips, shows how much football I watch

Didn't think that there was as much as that available.

@ yohomufc, if you are looking to go the motorised route, then probably something like a Magic Module with a compatible receiver may be better than a Humax 5400, as it will decrypt conax channels as well and without using a season interface and emulator.

go with rolfw's answer on your receiver issue,if you want a humax try the vaci5300 and use a mm with pcrypt 1.11 which will get you everything including c*nax on 1west, try this link for footy info http://www.knplogic.co.uk/sport good look

alright cheers lads what equipment will i need then?

will i have to get a installer to set it up?

boysie · 27-03-2003

all you need is any reciver that will read 6 in 1 cards,
a dish of at least 1m, a motor for dish, and a card programmer, and then go to nobblys link list for all your card programming needs!

yohomufc · 31-03-2003

do you lot use radio 5 commentary to listen to the games?

bazzatips · 01-04-2003

i dont because the radio is about 5 seconds ahead of the game so you know whats going on before its happened and that spoils it for me,some channels have english commentary anyway like premmiere sport 1&2 just look at your audio menu

yohomufc, I bought a Humax motorized system just in time for the start of this season and I have not looked back.
I follow Arsenal, and have only missed 4 games all season, and that includes ALL games, home and away and all the cup competitions.
I have got a Humax 5400z patched, a v-box, 1.2m Channel Master dish and vx programmer.

Yeh Lee32uk, very funny.
And btw, I see old horse face has fell down in the penalty area again at trafford as I am typing, and lo and behold, ANOTHER penalty for the home team.

bazzatips · 05-04-2003

do i sense a bit of nerves in your message?you carnt complain about those penalties surely,they were both clean cut and rules are rules he had to go.anyway it makes the league more exiting dont ya think??

**rolfw** · 05-04-2003

Crumbs and I thought that this was a satellite forum.

yohomufc · 06-04-2003

lads i have just got back from manch after watching the game right next to the tunnel.

great match, shame about the irish utd fans who were abit aggressive to say the least!

ive supported utd since i was 6! and i have relatives there!

still interested in the setup, might wait till august to see if it is still active for the new season!

anyone no where i should start (e.g. buy stuff first or contact a local installer?)

***lee32uk*** · 06-04-2003

If your gonna buy your kit i recommend buying from Astratech.They are streets ahead of any satellite dealer, and there customer service is excellent

Ask anyone on Satdudez or Toecutters about them

www.satelliteonline.net

All square at the top now m8.....bet Mr Wenger has no finger nails left

Cant wait for the game at Highbury

***pixey*** · 07-04-2003

I agree lee32uk, should be an excellent game.

yohomufc · 07-04-2003

does astratech do all the dodgy hacked cards stuff?

**rolfw** · 07-04-2003

They will sell smart cards and hobby programmers, as do one of the site advertisers Data Interfaces, and www.Divineo.co.uk who are personally recommended, as are www.satarmy.de.

yohomufc · 07-04-2003

should i buy all the equipment and then get a local satellite install bloke to set it up for me and talk about it with him as i know very little on this?

**rolfw** · 07-04-2003

May be worth getting a local guy to come round first and look at the site, just to see that you have line of sight to the required satellites.

yohomufc · 07-04-2003

it should be alright

my house faces north and im in kent

**rolfw** · 07-04-2003

You will need either a south facing wall with clear aspect or a place in the garden for a ground mount.

yohomufc · 07-04-2003

yeah we have got that
