Another `blow` to the football fans ex pats out here :o me included :( After sy sports 1 and 2 gone, and now BFBS watching football at home ( villa`s and apartments ) unless you have a 5 metre dish satellite football is from today finished , unless you can access BBC or ITV for the odd matches .. However some bars locally I am told may have access to ABU DUBAI tv network , which I believe is a legal set up... 1000 tl per year, so hopefully they will still show uk games... I hope so as I personally need my `footie fix` whilst out here for 7/8 months a year : :) if not at my apartment, then the nearest bar ;D

Isn't it available on Digiturk anymore Sleuth?

Can you not do in turkey the same as in uk ?? get free football & other sports lots & lots games on your pc and link it to your tv ???.
I go on line to FIRST ROW SPORTS web page select my game /sport click on the link and link a cable to my tv to watch, there are many sky sports / fox tv and esp channels all with quality viewing , its all free no sub to pay . make sure you delete all cookies afterwords ;)

Dont think Digiturk ever provided uk football matches keith. Most people out here seem to complain about Digiturk`s programmes on offer and many are leaving them.. as `film on` seems a very good alternative for uk tv and its free :-) but no sky football .
-
Blue clad... I will take a look at your suggestions thank you :)
-
I do apologise, I thought you could get premiership matches for an extra subscription on Digiturk. I've never had such a thing myself. I had 'standard' Digiturk before my first Sky box, boy what a disgraceful offering that was.
-
Correct Keith, ive had digiturk for 3 years now, and pay an extra 10 lira per month for barclays premier league matches,sezgin in the digiturk shop opposite migros in Fethiye will help anyone with enquires, speaks good english too.
-
Is the "standard" channel range still dire Des? We used to watch BBC Prime and Cheaters on Reality TV. That was about it.
-
not as bad as years ago Keith, bbc entertainment ok lots of repeats of course, but when i was in the uk a few months back they were nearly as bad. the discovery chanels and animal chanels ok too and the national geographic programmes quite good, for soap fans eastenders have just welcomed in the new year, well i think they have as when i was channel hoping im sure i saw phil mitchell smile, i like the sports channels too as you have a good choice, quite enjoyed the tennis, australian open etc, and most have the option of language change with digiturk, have 7 movie channels and some up to date too, even got the disney and cartoon network, nickelodian too for the grandkids when they come over, not that i watch them of course, ;) :)

i have supplied several and still installing ABU DUBAI tv network systems the price is in pounds as i pay for the systems this way a system is 400-00Gbp and includes the first year and 250-00 per year there after as the first year includes a dedicated receiver the card is paired to the receiver so you cant card share
These are Official Systems But used out side the the footprint intended

Thanks for that info Echostar ;) what channels ( football and uk channels ) would one get if subscribed to your Abu Dubai system ? and what sort of dish needed ? please give me a breakdown :)
-
Hello
just a 90cm dish the package carries all epl Games so you have a choice on what game you want to see Cricket Golf Six nations and Tennis as well as other sports all in english there is also sky News film channels all in HD no uk terrestrial channels
these are Official systems no internet required
Hope this answers your questions

Hi Echo
Don't know if you remember me- Philip in Uzumlu
You did bloody good job sorting me out with Next Star box 90 cm dish etc all very neat and tidy work plus your mate ate most of the biscuits!!!
Anyway just wondering as each of these channels disappears is there any upgrade of any type I could have to continue to see my sky stuff on my Nexstar box. As I am already paying Sky I don't wanna get another subscription service. Currently I use the set up you put in for Sky stuff and Filmon for terrestrial channels.
Thanks again

Hi Phil
Of course i remember you you might get sky sports 2 back if you do a rescan but the way things are going iam affraid you wont have any choice if you want the sports not unless you go for a big dish or go for a different system
sorry to be the bearer of this news
-
Thanks Echo
Reckon neighbours will crack up if I turn the place into a NATO listening station
Better stick with Skygo

Phil you make a good point - if you go for Echostar's system you should factor in the costs of biscuits and numerous coffees ;)
