freesat has sent 32 World Cup satellite dishes into the wild and set up a trivia quiz. http://www.32dishes.co.uk/

There are nine prizes - top prize isa 46" Sony HD TV and a freesat box with built in Blu-ray recorder.

As the dishes were installed around the UK, the countdown was on…. There are 32 trivia questions, representing each competing country. These questions are split into their allocated groups of 4 and released twice weekly over the next 4 weeks. The questions start relatively easy, but will get progressively harder http://www.32dishes.co.uk/quiz/groups
