Canary Boy 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Maplin are offering a DIY Satellite Dish that you put up yourself (nothing to do with Sky) and they have priced it at £89.99. According to the advert, it gives you 4000 (yes four thousand) free TV channels from around Europe! Is there a chance for some free live football...possibly Norwich?Anyone know or does anyone have one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich 0 Posted October 29, 2005 sounds good, apart from that live norwich games bit. anychance of a link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ob1 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Well - the website says 2000 channels, and apparently you have to point the satellite dish in the direction of the direction of the satellite. Unfortuately, not being knowing the position in the atmosphere of all 2000 channels, it''s all a bit irrelevant... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Boy 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Hi Rich...yes here is the link...sorry it''s 2000 channels not 4000.http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43113&TabID=1&source=1&doy=29m10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robbo007 0 Posted October 29, 2005 In all likeness, the 2000 channels will include 99% crap, and then channels such as Canal+ (always show premiership games at 3pm on a saturday). You will see loads of football, just not Norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herb 0 Posted October 29, 2005 With the right setup you can get whatever you want from wherever you want, but it''ll cost you a lot more than 89 quid and will involve programmable CAM (conditional access module) cards which still have to be paid for (and are illegal and can stop working without a moments notice)If you''re still into the idea you need to do a lot of reading up on the net, something I did a couple of years back, eventually decided I couldn''t be bothered with all the grief (easier to just watch the game down the pub!)

Ghost of Davie Ross 0 Posted October 29, 2005 Ho-de-ho!!(perhaps it really is Maplins and is another of Ted Bovis''s scams!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronbol ronbol 0 Posted October 29, 2005 You can by legit cards which will give plenty of live football (premier, scotish, spanish) there are a few div one games, but you''ll need more then a FTA reciever as a previous poster mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
