I have just finished building a satellite system in my back yard, comprised mainly of second-hand bits and pieces!
I found my first broadcast last Sunday - a German news channel!
Fitting the motor this coming weekend - then I will have control of the skies!
Hopefully I may be able to find some free football once the season starts again!
Free football?

That's illegal barnando. But what I am doing is legal - and relatively simple too.
I am hoping to find a broadcast on a foreign channel - I can turn the sound down, play some music, crack open a beer and enjoy!!

Personally I think the Sky package is excellent.
I wonder sometimes how I ever used to manage to get out of bed in the morning before Sky Sports arrived.
And the films!
And MTV!
Etc

BRR - I don't care for the movies or the music. I am only interested in the football - and City are only showing maybe 4 times a season(?), so when they are showing I go to a local pub (unless I am at the game of course!) Non-city games I can take or leave..
I miss Sky Sports News and Soccer AM, but not enough to pay mr. Murdoch £10 per month, let alone £50 or £60!!!!
