Want to watch our semi final live on German Freesat?

[Pepe Reina 25]

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the main forum.

 

Both semi finals, including ours, will be shown live on Eurosport Deutschland this weekend if anyone fancies an alternative to paying for BT or watching on a stream? The channel did a deal with the FA earlier this season.

 

Unlike British Eurosport, it's German counterpart is a free to air channel - which means no card or subscription required - and broadcasts around Europe to anyone with a dish. You've just got to be able to move your dish about 3 inches or so clockwise (westerly) over to it's satellite at 19.2east where the rest of the FTA German channels are (if anyone remembers having Sky back in the 90's). No more than 1/2" to 1" backwards elevation too.

 

Any box and dish size will do. Sky digibox, Freesat box, minidish whatever. Locate the satellite and manually add 12226H, 27500, 3/4 in the services menu to find the channel and include it on your system. Sky box viewers will need to watch via the 'other channels' menu.

 

This useful site shows exactly where you need to position your dish. UK is 28.2east, German is 19.2east.

End results should look something a bit like this. Pic taken last week before they showed our Blackburn replay free, which was also on BT.
