Gents, somewhere I read that you can pick up Fox Sports somehow on the
digibox - has anyone tried, and if so, what are the digits?
Cheers!

There is a ESPN Classic Sports channel that was testing for a while on
Astra 2, but it seems to have stopped now. (it was in french, now launched
on the French Pay TV platforms.)
If you are looking for US sports channels in europe, arabsat broadcast
Orbit ESPN which is ESPN1 + coverage of Arab Football matches.
You'll require around a metre dish and a MPEG 1.5 decoder, though.

for more info.

This is what I saw, on a forum -
"Fox sports is on a satellite 43deg West. Which is very low on the horizon.
(Sky Digital is 28deg East and Sky Analogue was at 19deg East)
Fox offer a free service to Europe and show Fox Sports Network, News and
other feeds - eg, Live feed to UK's channel 5. All the Busch races this year
have been live."
Now, I've only just got mine, so this is all mumbo.jumbo to me, but is this
available thru the Sky dish?

Not a minidish!
30W needs a 1m-ish dish for southern england!
48w is a hell of a long way away. Unless your on top of a hill with clear
sight to the horizon, and a huge dish, no chance.

Yes, it's there, and just on the horizon. You'll need a proper dish and
dare i say, a proper STB :P

Bugger! Oh, well, it was worth a try! Thanks for the help, Z, but what's an
STB?
