there's a pub in cricklewood that has th Italian Sky Calcio and shows 3pm saturday games..
a bloke who did my mates satellite told me he could put me on his cardsharing list for something like £25 a month, that would get me basically everything, every sports channel,, sky, movies channels, the lot. the way it works is, you hook up your satellite box to your router, and it changes the encryption codes automatically. the codes change every few seconds so you do need constant internet access for this.
i dont think this is very legal, and i'm sure it's only a matter of time before they find a way to block it/close it down, but it does work and has worked for the past few months.
another way to get footy on the cheap, this time legal, is just to get a foreign subscription. the best value one is probably the Al Jazeera sports card - after you get your satellite installed you can get the card for about 100 quid- it lasts 12 months and you get 10 or so channels, showing la liga, serie A, fa cup/champs league/etc. no premier league though! overexcitied arabic commentator comes free.
