satellite TV

Hello all, I will be arriving in Doha in June and was wondering about satellite television services in Qatar. I'm especially interested in getting Australia Network. AN is currently available across Asia but I'm not sure about the Middle East.

If AN is not available, can someone suggest an alternative option for receiving Australian sporting telecasts, specifically AFL and cricket?

Much obliged.

Coming to Doha for a week or maybe two to look for a job and attend several interviews, I found out that there was an alternative to expensive hotels.

I needed my own clean room with Wifi to search and satellite TV to unwind. There was even a small pool! A large kitchen and my own fridge meant I could keep expenses down and cook for myself. The room was cleaned twice a week. Quick to town and loads of restaurants nearby. All in all a very pleasant experience. QR 2,500 per week for a huge ensuite. And I got the job!

I asked this question to several people as I was visiting Qatar for 2 weeks at a time on a regular basis and the hotels were costing me a fortune.

And them I chanced upon this ad and visited the villa.

It's well located off TV round-about and it is run by a German woman who is very nice.
The rooms are huge and though simple, everything is there from free WIFi to satellite TV. Kitchen is free to use and there is even a guest fridge.
There's a small pool but I didn't have the rime to use it.
All in all, a great alternative to over-priced hotels.

My Star Track super receiver which is required to update its softwate b'coz most of the chennels of the Hotbird is not opening.
i already shown to few shops on Arabia R/o but all futile they don't understand the problem

Hi All,

I wanted some advice on how to go about getting satellite TV installed and the best one to go for and where to go to get it.

The family and myself came over from the UK about 2 months ago. I miss Premier League footie and the kids miss Cbeebies.

My wife enjoys watching Star Plus )an Indian channel) and someone mentioned TATA SKY to her but I'm not sure how you would get a Indian based satellite broadcaster here in Doha.

I'm stayed at the Movenpick in West Bay and they seemed to have Star Plus so I'm sure its possible just don't know how!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
