What is the best satellite to get to watch live sports from asia and australia?

**clownage** · 18-09-08, 04:58 PM

hi everyone
i was looking at buying a sat dish, but mainly for viewing of live sports. i understand from aus we can only pick up live feeds of sports from the aus-asia region, which is fine as i like to watch live tennis etc when they tour asia and australia.
now i am not necessarily referring to 24/7 sports channels but channels that usually show the live stuff when the sports are touring their town, such as channel 7 in aus when the australian open is on they cover the tennis and go back to showing other tv shows, news etc when its over.
for example right now there is a womens tennis tournament in china that i would love to watch live, i would even settle for just a feed of it (no commentators).

so i was wondering if you could advise a newbie like myself how and where i can go about setting up one of these things (melbourne)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

I would also post your question over at Vetrun as guys there also are familiar with live sports feeds.

I like the V8 feeds on Optus D2. I was hoping to have a c band dish setup for Palapa C2 so I could get the F1's but I reckon we'll have them on 10 digital in the country like the capital cities before to long.

when people say we cant watch the channels in the USA, then how is 10HD able to broadcast the NFL "live" may i ask?
isnt the NFL broadcast on the american channels that we cannot access?

Comes in via a scrambled channel that only 10 can decode and retransmit.
