Euro Amir
Sorry...don't want to seem like i am advertising here, but has anyone seen the IGOCOLO website? You can actually rent a satellite receiver in Europe/Middle East and watch on your PC. I used the free trial, and had over 600 channels from Hotbird and BADR satellite. I am originally from Morroco, but am travelling throughout Europe.
I haven't actually bought the service yet, but if there are any expats out there, it is worth checking out. Post results here.
