Here's the fixture list:
I sourced my ART Card on fleabay and it cost £87 for ONE YEAR. Unless you're fluent in Arabic, however, there ain't much more for you from the provider!!
If you have a Viaccess-capable receiver and are getting satellite reception from Hotbird at 13e, you can get a lot of English footy with an ART Card.
I'm sold, deffo gonna have to get one!!
This page should assist you with seeing what footy's on ART
Teleclub transmits live Premier League games.
Plus you should be able to receive BBC (not the rubbish BBC prime etc) for Match of the Day etc ...
Telelcub is available via Cable or Satelite TV (on subscription)
indeedy, and with the right (Humax) box, you can have Premiere HD through Teleclub CH....
Or alternately, get it free when those working on the dark side make the keys available
less than 24 hours to go. Anyone excited?
I know my wife isn't
Yup!
I just go down the White Horse in Montreux. They have sky and so put all the matches on. (If there is more than one match on, it is usually decided by the punters which one they want to see)
www.liveonsat.com is LJ's new site; nicer plus you can set your timezone so it displays nicely.
Jenny - up in the Mecca, where the streets are paved with gold, there are pubs where they can show 2 or even 3 matches live.
I know. Wow...!
I've just finished Liverpool -vs- Maccabe and now have Spurs -vs- Sheff Utd on ART with English commentary.
Well, it was that or Hammers - Watford
ART Sport 4
Mark Viduka
Oh yeah.
Nicky - do you have it yet?
I was thinking of Pat when Forest played on Monday
Hiya,
Looks like ART could be the best option for a footy-mad English lad newly arrived in Switzerland. The question is though, what do I need to set this up? I'm guessing at a satellite dish, ART box and ART card, but how do I get these in Switzerland?
Do you guys have any recommendations for what to get and where to get it?
All's I want is the footy channels, I'm not fussed about the satellite movie channels etc that seem to come in the usual packages in somewhere like teleclub...
Cheers,
Si (Basel)
Sorry missed this post!!
Nope didn't get one!
you need a satellite dish and any non-FTV box sold in Switzerland (largely) should likely have an embedded Viaccess card reader - as Viaccess is a company with customers such as SRG SSR Sat Access using their encryption.
Cunningly, ART cards are also Viaccess. Smashing. You get more 3pm kick-offs than you can shake a dog-excrement-covered stick at
Point your dish at 13 degrees east - Hotbird. That's where ART is transmitting from.
Consider also getting a box that can be patched or run emulators - like Dreambox, Technomate. Why? Because with a monoblock getting 13 & 19 east, you can often stumble across channels that mysteriously decrypt if your mate loads the right k*ys, of course This week, Canal+ Spain was open including PPV and p*rn. Super-smashing stuff, so my mate tells me.
Cheers for that info, hoping to get this all sorted out asap!
Possible problem though - I'm living on the 2nd floor in Basel city, and if I were to point a dish at 13° elevation towards the East, it would point directly at the buildings across the road (which are maybe 4-5 stories high). Do you think this will be a problem? I'm naturally assuming that my landlords won't let me attach a dish to their precious roof.
Cheers, Si
it might point over them too. You have to hope they do, depends on the distance from you to them and their roof....
