Hi all

Has sky italia lost the premier league rights for next season as there subscription cards on TVcorner seemed to have dropped in price considerably, i thought Sky Italia was closer to €1,000 but have the price listed at €249 for a years sub.

[1080 jawbreaker]

prepaid cards have been around for a while @ resonable prices. Would be suprised if they dont have any epl next year, unless they dont want to pay the inflated price?

[Kingsd316]

Any update on Sky Calcio fixture schedule?

Newbie was also looking at sky italia for next season dont think it has english comm what would be best way forward for3pm this coming season is it easy to sync comm and would it best to have internet as well........ as this might be a problem. From scratch would £500 to £650 get everything thanks

Not listed on LJs yet, but they've only just added Tring so still filling up on there.

Thought it would be cheaper than that as per my first post, £250 for card and box (calcio only as i believe these are the channels that show the games and not the Sky Sports channel) and as this can be picked up on a sky dish which can be had from about £30 from certain auction sites

The Sky Sports channels in Italy do show some games.

Ah ok thanks, looks like it might be a bit more expensive than i thought, usually whenever i saw a game on Sky Sports Italy it would also be on sky Calcio, must have changed since i last looked into it

Hi I have just ordered a 12 month pre paid calio card.

The seller says it comes activated.

I am going to put the card in my Vu Duo.

Has anyone on here used a prepaid card ? Wondering if updates need to be disabled?

[1080 jawbreaker]

got to be carefull with the sky italia cards, with the wrong settings you can fry it

[uksparx]

I have got a usb card reader I may use that instead off the internal reader.

Conflicting reports off cccam and oscam I would rather use cccam to read the card

Sorry, I hope didn't mislead you there.

From experience the Sky Sports channels don't show any extra games. They only show some of what are already broadcast on the Calcio channels. So there is no need for both if you just want Calcio/Football.

I'm not sure how the subscription system works over there but I'm sure I've seen matches on at least 3 different Sky Italia channels plus HD varieties at the same time.

I know someone who uses CCcam 2.1.3 without any problems at all. Updates card and everything fine.

There's plenty of forums and sites with details of cccam and set top boxes. I doubt here is the ideal place to ask.

Also if you buy off Ebay, make sure its a reputable dealer, I've heard of cards die long before their advertised time. This is especially a problem when they come pre activated. You have no idea how long they have been active. If it looks cheap, there's probably a reason

[rcaudwell]

Agree, some are only 3 month cards, it has also been known for multiroom cards to be sold as "prepaid", they work for a few weeks, then because the box isn`t ringing home from the same line the original card is on it shuts off.

[robbbin]

what about sentana ireland through irish cards is that the best way

[uksparx]

Hopefully the eBay seller is ok.

I had to select what I wanted with calico I chose music I will have to see.

I bought a 12 monthly setanta card last year I'm hoping to be able to re register the card when it expires through the website.
Setanta is pretty poor though 1 game and no hd ! Even though they broadcast hd on Irish cable now.

We will have to see if the Viasat axing of 3 pm KOs via Satellite as they have reported today effects Sky Italia as well, I guess. They claim the EPL are not allowing any such games other than via cable and iptv.

[uksparx]

Wow didn't know about that.

On the calico info channel there's only 1 3pm at the mo .

Which is the arsenal game.

[1080 jawbreaker]

West Brom vs Liverpool - 3pm
Newcastle vs Totenham - 5-30pm

PLTV have always had English commentary, wether they will abandon BISS encrption is anyones guess though

[uksparx]

What sat is pltv on?

Here is a screenshot of the calico games

Well been known to last 3/4 months. I'd say latest ones have been going 2 months at least.
So far do good.

[1080 jawbreaker]

PLTV is also part of the Digiturk package, dont know if they drop the english audio though

[robbbin]

thanks for that would a 80cm dish get digiturk and most footy on the south coast

[1080 jawbreaker]

yeah digiturk on 7.0e is a strong signal in the UK

[uksparx]

Thanks for the info but I can only receive 28.2 , 13e and 19.2 at the moment.

Anyway the sky calico card has been sent and is working fine lets hope it lasts 12 months
