you can now watch any BBC progs for free using the new iplayer service
/
other oprtions if you want a UK Sky package is via a "slingbox". Use the search function in the forum to read up on this. Concord uses it via the states, but you can hook up a slingbox to a Sky decoder box in the UK also. If you have family in the UK with
a/ a sky package
and
b/ a broadband connection
you can watch a fully sky service via your laptop. Basically if a friend or family member back in the UK would on your behalf have a "multi room package" installed at their house then you can receive a the same Sky package in Dubai.
(the multi room package costs £75 installation and an extra £10 month for the service, so for £200 year you can have SKY incl sports and movies for cheap.
Read up on it and if i can be of any more help let me know

So in this day and age I cant get sky over here...
It cant be true arnie...
:roll:
arniegang
no mate you can't get sky via a dish because no dish in the ME can focus on the european satellites. Its all to do with the position of them etc. Its not the technology its purely the position of the satellites in relation to the countries they serve.
gezza
so how do hotels get sky news/skysports news etc?
arniegang
hotels only receive Sky news via Showtime/Orbit etc, no hotel has sky sports mate, take my word for it, we have stayed in most of them :lol:

I have show time and orbit tho...so what am i missing?
arniegang
you receive Sky news because that particular channel is transmitted to the satellites that serve the ME and Far E. It is also a free to air channel from any satellite that transmits it.
You are not picking it up from the European Sats mate.
gezza
so free to air is similar to free view?
can i get that via du/ satalite?
reviewer
I have european free channels... from hotbird ...not sure if thats euro sat..
arniegang
Hotbird does not transmit Sky, its the Astra Sats.
Geeza, you can only get the Brit channels that Du choose and supply with their packages like Sky News, BBC, Granada Plus, UKTV, Nat Geo, Discovery etc. This is because the operators like showtime/orbit etc purchase those channels from Sky or directly from the broadcasters.

The channels are transmitted on the bird, you just need the appropriate decryption to get them.
Du doesn't come into it.

Yeah planning to have smart card + Vaccess..to decrypt some channels..

Gezz....no UK channels yet...just mainland Europe..will advise after consulting satellite techies in Deira.....

I have heard rumour of...and mind you this is purely hypothetical and not in any way a possibility or reality that anyone should or would offer such a thing due to the highly unethical and potentially dodginess of the act or thought of the act...that you can obtain something called a 'Golden Card' for you satellite decoder.
It unscrambles everything...
Except eggs.

You have to go into a satellite shop, and kind of like say "you know where I can get one of those special cars?"
They will try to charge you 3000 dirhams for it. Fair value is 1500... but it's not worth it. You can get special boxes and/or a decoder card for a PC for much cheaper.
Anyway, you're in JBR, and the tenancy agreement states No Dishes.

Seriously, don't get a dish. I didn't buy my place in JBR expecting a bunch of unemployed Gypo's spoiling my view with satellite dishes. I won't stop complaining until it's removed, and at the same time you can get your laundry off the balcony, cos the site of your soiled underwear will spoil my full sea view.
I suggest getting a job, and leaving the tv and internet alone.

I suggest you shut your face and butt out of other peoples affairs.
when asked for your opion I will rattle you cage.
MUPPET!

I would have thought asking questions on a public forum makes your affairs open to question (or ridicule in your sad case).
Equally I'm pretty sure that attempting to reduce the value of my investment makes your actions very much my affair.
Seriously though - instead of spending all day spamming this forum, why not get a job? Or are you unemployable? :lol:

I wouldn't say unemployable...but taking care of two children is keeping me on my toes, thus away from work.
but when I want your opinion I will ask.
