It’s now less than 2 weeks untill the football world cup starts in Germany. I’ve prepared by buying a digital set top box on eBay to be able to recieve digital tv as we have pretty bad reception on SBS (the channel that sends all the games live). I got it in the mail yesterday and it’s working quite well, the antenna in our apartment building is probably not adjusted for digital reception but I get four of the channels (ABC, SBS, 7, 9) perfectly, and the last one (channel 10) only cracks up a bit sometimes. On top of better reception we also get a couple of extra channels and live program information. I’ve set it up so we can still watch the old analog signals as well if we want so it’s all good.
Sweden starts it’s campaign against Trinidad & Tobago at 01.30 on Sunday morning 11 June, the next game is against Paraguay at 04.30 on Friday morning 16 June and the last group match against England is at 04.30 on Wednesday morning 21 June. As you can see there will be some late nights/early mornings for me to follow it live so I’ll have to see how I go, but I’ll do my best…
