This thread, and many others similar, should provide some info

Recommend a satellite setup for Football

Suffice to say that official viewing cards are expensive, some providers require the use of their own receivers and that, no doubt, you will receive recommendations to use a Dreambox (or similar)
but
the use of these receivers to view foreign channels without payment to the provider by using card sharing servers is illegal and cannot be openly discussed on here

Yes, if you're looking for legal stuff fine, otherwise the door will be closed.

I will try to keep it simple, what you need for SPL/EPL (As long as your not after non U.K. broadcast EPL stuff that some punters go to whole hog for, i.e. BIG dish & lots of £'s for the viewing card! About £300) is depending on location, a 60 to 80 cm dish, a nice 0.2-0.3 LNB, a Al-jazeera sports viewing card (For SPL & all the Champions league games) a sat receiver with either Irdeto access built in card reader or one with a CAM slot & a Irdeto CAM to use with the Al-jazeera card, all in youcould build this for £30 to £40 for the dish & mount, £20 say for a single output LNB, £70 to £80 for revceiver with Irdeto card reader built in & £80 to £90 for the 12 month viewimg card. Hope this helps!

spl games are on aljazeera sport which can be had for about 80 notes from ebay for 12month viewing card, premier league football is another matter with viewing card for matches inc 3pm ones going for up to 1200 a year.

diema channels on 16e or 39e are quite good for matches and show a couple of 3pm games on saturdays card is not that expensive around 300 for 12months
