Satellite TV for all Middle Eastern Countries

17 years ago
Hello All,

I am an American moving to Saudi Arabia. I have read many of the posts here and saw some people complaining about the poor local TV, watching the NFL, etc.

Well, I have just left Egypt and am moving to Saudi in a few weeks so I though I would share this info.

You CAN get many of the good American and British TV on satellite. There are 3 different providers of western programming and if you get all 3 for all of the available channels, it will cost you about $100 per month total. Here are the links to the sites:

http://www.starselect.com/programme/starselect.html

http://www.showtimearabia.com/Default_en_gb.aspx

http://www.orbit.net/SetLanguage.aspx

All together I get around 70 English speaking channels and best of all....it will help you to stay sane and in touch with the rest of the world.
