Laddy Muck Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Do excuse the dumb question.I have never had either cable or Satellite TV, but am finally thinking about it as going to the pub to watch matches can prove quite expensive.I have googled, but am none the wiser. How do I go about this? Do I simply contact Sky or, as with broadband (e.g.), are there many providers of Sky Sports? Also, I notice that there are several Sky Sports? I only want it for football. So what do I look for, and how much should I expect to pay? And will I have to have an ugly satellite dish outside my house? A lot of questions, I know, but this is all very new to me.Thanks.

Alan Medic Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I guess it's those early kick offs that make the pub so expensive. By the time you have left the pub rat arsed at closing time it would have cost you a fortune. Maybe MU tv is the way to go?

Having said that...have planned the day in the pub tomorrow for the Blackburn match followed by the FACF LOL. Can't wait!But seriously, MUTV? Never thought about that. Presumably, it wouldn't cover non-United matches (such as the up-coming FACF where revenge dictates that I absolutely drop everything in order to watch Stoke thrash City ;-)).

Come watch with us> www.thecitypridepub.co.ukThat pub spills over with BLUES LOL! It's virtually been taken over by Blues! I'd get lynched! Actually, it's very tempting, but I've already made arrangements with a friend to watch both matches locally (she's a RED too!). But thank you: next time perhaps.Re. this:I can get you streams so you can watch for free on laptop/pcSounds good. But what is this? (Sorry, not very good when it comes to the latest technology). Also, is it legal? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17184-sky-sports/#findComment-435386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerevolution Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 It's basically online TV broadcast from abroad. It's legal in your own home but not to a wider audience-pubs, clubs etc. I get a list for just about every game being played Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17184-sky-sports/#findComment-435401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
