its on sky box office :x :x :x

Or for free on German channel ZDF if you can get it

Well looks like im off to germany for a little while.

The channel is on the astra satellite:

ZDF Free ASTRA reception area Trp. 33 ASTRA-2C
General Entertainment German 10.96425 GHz / H 19.2°E

Id rather be able to pay to watch it than not see it at all or tape delayed.

Even though its pay per view, good one SKY giving us more live Heavyweight World Champion viewing in the early hours

I thought he may have been gone with Lennox Lewis.

bloody ppv :x thats ridiculous i've got digital satellite now although i still have my old box, will it still work on the new dish???

damn, i hope this dont become a regular thing. i dont think they will get many buys.

Bit annoying when it's not even a British fighter... plus the full package is bloody expensive as it is.

Not sure, stick the new satellite cable into the back of your old receiver, then do a search to see what you pick up.
Doubtful though.......but your analogue receiver will defintely pick up free to air stations: German ARD and ZDF show alot of boxing - Vivian Harris in two weeks as well - no card needed.

You may need another dish and LNB ( that's the receiver on the end of your dish ) any local satellite installer could do if for you, if you don't fancy doing it yourself ( not a SKY installer though, they're crap )

I'll watch this on ZDF in that case, but if not I'd definitely go for PPV.
I don't mind if it's a really big fight, like this one is, just as long as I have a choice to see the American action I'm happy!

Blimey that's a surprise. Don't really mind myself although I'd have been quite happy with a delayed sunday morning broadcast. The undercard is so poor (Forrest v Reid being the highlight) I don't know how I'll stay awake but I'll give it a shot.

SKY are really looking after the UK based South Africans here, they must be chuffed to bits. Not sure how much of a success the PPV will be though, Klitschko will never be the new Lewis.

Can't say this is a fight I'm all that bothered about seeing frankly.

Incidently, with reference to many of the above comments on the ridiculous cost of the package for a fight like this ..well.... if not so many mugs went out and paid it, they wouldn't charge those prices.

Market forces chaps... market forces....

If everyone keeps forking out the price asked, the prices will only continue to go one way, and it won't be downwards....

I suppose I could wait until the following tuesday or thursday where they'll show the fight on Sky Sports 1 but I'd really like to watch this match up without knowing the result.

I didn't fork out for Tyson v Neilson/Etienne on principal but this one I have to see.

The problem you have is that that your dish is currently pointing 28.2°E (which is 23° East of South in the UK).
It needs to point 19.2°E (don't know what that is in the UK).

Assuming you don't want to fork out for another Dish and LNB, unless you have

• A ladder
  A Compass (direction finder, not that one for drawing circles)
  A Protactor
  A set of spanners
  Nerves of steel

forget it, and find someone with a old analogue chipped box (like my cousin!).
