    You can have that internet service which allows you to watch Israeli TV or you can contact Dish Network in the US and subscribe to the Israeli Network which would allow you to get Soccer games Friday to Monday usually...most of the time on Saturday mornings in Eastern Time...

    MHaifa1913, nah...I'm just interested to see that team because a player from my country (El Salvador) is most likely playing there this season.

    Kappa18, thanks for the link appreciate it! :)

    Who is this player? Is he a National Team member?

    Hapoel Raanana must be one of the only teams in the upper leauge to have almost every one of their players Israeli. Except on Brazilian and Eric Hort which has dual citizenship....

    Log onto www.tin.tv and register for subscription and see what offer they make you to subscribe. I have been tempted to try and erect a dish for Eurobird 9 here in Europe to get The Israeli Network. Just so happens no decent German or Italian channels on Eurobird 9 so its not really a hotspot for great channels.

    Don't subscribe to the web service you will not get any live Ligat action, just looping Channel 10 magazine shows. The actual satellite channel shows plenty of football and Channel 10 Sunday Night Fixtures.

    Or try JumpTV.com Its around 35$ a month (very expensive) but you should get the games there. Have not used it for over a season can anyone confirm if Jump TV are still using pathetic 300k feeds?

    Hmmm a motorised dish is what I need with a linux receiver.:D

    Eurobird 9 is a satellite in space used for direct to home satellite television. Its a relative new satellite with some countries now transfering there pay tv banquets over to it. So far alot of the eastern europe channels are moving to it so it will become the most common satellite watched in that part of the world. The Israeli Network was on Hotbird, one of the biggest satellite hotspot for europe, used by pay tv providers such as Sky Italia and Aljazeera Sport but The Israeli Network moved at the start of the year. Satellite space probably is cheaper on Eurobird 9 and with many jews in the east of europe probably made sense for them to move satellites.

    FTA means free to air. There are alot of free to air channels but The Israeli Network is not one of them, its encrypted and requires cam and smartcard. However due to no regional limitations all european countries can purchase card and cam and legally subscribe to the service.

    Would love the Israeli Network for the Israeli Football. Really want an Eredivisie Live Smartcard for dutch football. They sell every dutch game in Holland for a mere 9 Euros a month.
