Yep, and I checked, and it seems I'd have to order it from another city. I'm looking at at least a 600-700 euro investment for the card + media box + the dish antenna, which for a short-term period doesn't make much sense. Would make perfect sense if I was to retire here though. ;)

:p Daniel and I both would probably have to have stable 100 mbps connection to stream it in HD. And I'm guessing FOM or Dorna would be knocking on his door fairly quickly. :eek:

100 mbps? Surely you could get by with less.
FOM or Dorna wouldn't need to know about it... Daniel's allowed to stream to his holiday home when he's away, isn't he? ;) :p

For normal pixelated streams even 10 mbps is enough. But I tried streaming HD sports stream with a 25 mbps and 50 mbps connection, didn't work all that well. So, 100 mbps just to be safe. ;)

If he's streaming through his media box using a live TV streaming script, then FOM or Dorna would DEFINITELY know about it, not if he's streaming through his webcam though. In the latter case, I'd prefer the German feed, thank you. :p

They've got a $hitload of channels, and I have their HD media box back home, I just have to get that here and get the dish antenna pointing to their coordinates and watch F1, MotoGP, WSBK, Cricket, NBA, all tennis grand slams ALL included in the package. ;)

DSTV is available in most of Africa, and if you know the right people, you can get it anywhere else in the world too. But I never told you that ;)

I used to live in Spain and had sky tv there. Here is a trick how
I have a friend in UK, I called
02033554849, Joined at my friend place. Sky sent me the card on her address, and came to install sky tv at that address. When engineer came there, I told him that i have the dish already so just leave the box here i will do it my self. He did the same. I was paying sky from my friend's uk bank account and was watching sky in Spain. You can call them on the same number
