Just like Sky, Al-Jazeera broadcast football on their sports channels rather than their news channels. All the 10 Al-Jazeera sport channels are on each of the satellites at 26.0E, 13.0E and 7.0W.
You can see what matches they are showing by looking on the list here http://liveonsat.com/today.php
If you live in the north of the UK you may have difficulty getting 7.0W unless you have a dish over 1 metre. Other than that you will need dish, receiver and cable. If you also want to watch Freesat or Freesat from from Sky, on the Astra satellite, you will need to budget an extra £50 for a motor to turn the dish from one satellite to another.
If you need further advice then message me.0
