Welcome to the forum

I am not sure I understand the question, are you asking how to view Football using a subscription frm Sky or setanta, or do you enquire about viewing stuff without a legal subscription?

P.S. Are you hunting Manchester United (I.e. a Chelsea fan) or are you hunting on behalf of MU

Hi

I'm new to this like Man Utd Hunter but have just got rid of Sky and invested in a new motorised system. I was led to believe that there was masses of free premiership football available but my head is spinning trying to find anything. I've had a look through the sticky post regarding this but I'm obviously having a blonde, or perhaps senior moment.

Whilst free from the financial bonds of Sky Television I would like to keep costs down and wonder can you get any prem football for free and/or can you pay per view for individual matches.

I am fearful that this may have been asked before and promise I will get the hang of my new system and this forum before too long:-newb

One thing is almost for sure guys - free Premier League games do not exist anymore, no matter what you've been told you'll have to pay for a card of some description. I'd suggest you read http://www.satellites.co.uk/satelli...where-you-watching-premier-league-season.html and other threads to get a feel of what's on offer.

Well, I partly disagree with Salty as many people have been watching PL games for the last few years without having a subscription - if you check liveonsat you will see all the stations that show each game. If you have a receiver like a Dreambox or similar where keys can be entered there are some channels that show PL games, BUT this can change any day - if you want to watch PL on a regular basis then a subscription is the only option. Another option is cardsharing - for this you also need a receiver that can do it - but be careful - other than discussing the technical aspect of cardsharing it is a banned subject here - google for it, there is plenty of info available. So, do some reading here

I do agree with you T_G, it is certainly possible to watch Premier League games for free using keys, but the legality and reliability is largely prohibitive for many viewers. But if you're willing to do the donkey-work, there is nothing like a free lunch Also, English commentary is not also assured this way.

Cards are required somewhere down the line for the regular PL viewer.

i want to get a sat system set up that i can watch live games and not thru sky or setanta
i dont mind paying £150ish for a year for a card
if it was free all the better

T_G....I hate answering these kind of questions, as Satellites UK hits well on search engines! many a time I've typed in key words then up pops a thread posted on this site!

Can't help thinking sometimes we give too much away, you never know who's out there browsing, maybe a network hovering on balance wether to pay extra for a more secure encryption to prevent people viewing thier broadcasts!

ART subscription gives roughly 4 matches each weekend; downsides - no 3PM matches and only French commentary and slightly weaker picture quality; plus side: only between £70 & £95 to subscribe for a year; gives you other bobs and bits including football from various other places and some other sports; picture quality definitely watchable/acceptable.

The other card that used to be cheap (apparently the best value subscription last season) is DigitalB but they seem to have gone downhill somewhat this season; still a fair bit of Premiership and other football, I gather.

For other potential subscription services (e.g. Nova, Premiere, Showtime) you are looking at serious notes beyond the budgeted £150
