Hello everyone,

Based on the feed finding system I could get around 20+ athletics meets, without buying a package, I wouldn't get on UK TV which would like it worthwile for me.
I must stress I am still a (extreme) novice might have interpreted the information wrong.

1) I would like to be able to watch these feeds via my PC and would I be able to use a BGT3600 to pick up and record these feeds?

2) With the BGT3600 will I be able to have Freeview and Satellite plugged in at the same time? or is there another PCI-E card that would do that?

3) Would I need a type of software to find the feeds?

4) What type of dish will I need? I assume a motorised. If I can get away with a portable one I would be happy!


5) because most are on Eutelsat could I get away with just an Eutelsat dish (I assume of course I would only get feeds on Eutelsat)

6) Will I need a receiver?
If I can get away with out one I would be pleased because of space and connecting it to a PC.

7) Would these feeds work with a portable dish?


8) I live in London but a guy in the North-East of England said he couldn't even get most of the feeds listed below on a 1meter dish? What do I need to recieve the feeds below :)

I'm gonna put as much information so I get the right help.

These are the feeds I found on Satelliweb but
they pick up the feeds from france so will they be different satellites in England? Using my basic sense I assume not because france isn't far from England and they're satellite would point the same way.

5. Whilst most of the Satellite listed do indeed have Eutelsat in common, they are at different positions along the Clarke Belt so a moveable dish, several dishes or a fixed dish with a multi-LNB arm would be required.

7. Feeds are generally transmitted at low power and so require larger dishes than would be the case if you were only wanting "proper" Channels. That more vor less rules out a "portable" dish (which are almost invariably far too small).
