Hi and welcome to the forum.
There are plenty of receivers, dishes, and subscriptions for this, but the easy way is to pay £50.25 a month to Sky.

I didn't say it's the best, or the cheapest.
I can't imagine anything being easier though.

its certainly not the easy method for live 3pm premiership games on a saturday seeing as they have been banned on uk tv for the last 20 years !

this means they are not live on sky sports uk or espn uk at all , which is why karen murphy was done for the nova debacle and subsequently won her case

getting all the matches is never easy, its certainly not free, but a good google search would provide the answers

the biggest problem is deciding what to get and how much of a budget you have to spend, and if you want all the games including saturday 3pm games, or are happy for the easy method that gives you whatever the tender won

and given the big shake up that is happening in the 2013/14 season and onwards then it will probably become even more complicated an issue than it has been for over the last 10 years

It is also the wrong time to decide on which provider to choose for next season as it is not yet known which package will be providing what content next year - whether providers such as Tring will have any 3 p.m. content, which packages will have English commentaries (as many appear to be losing this at present) etc

Hi,
easiest method and cheapest in the long run is to get a Dreambox or similar (clone or not depends on your budge), motorized Dish, plug the Dreambox to the router and away you go. After that, google is your friend.

Let me know if you need more info, as the last bit we are not allowed to discuss on this forum.
